Ezine Article likely to never be seen in Ezine

This morning's Wall Street Journal has an article about Ezine, in which Chris Knight, CEO of SparkNet which owns Ezine, referred to low-quality articles as "article vomit."

He said that Ezine had 57m unique visitors last month but about only half that number after Google introduced their latest algorithm.

Chris Knight went on to say that he felt part of the reason Google demoted Ezine is that much of the content was published on the writer's web site first.

I was surprised by the magnitude of the drop in unique visitors and even more intrigued by Knight's comment in which he speculated that their rankings were harmed by writer's first publishing elsewhere.

    More the reason to have a flexible traffic strategy. Frankly any top site can fall do to a change in algorhythm

    If you want to read the actually full article, just search "ezine articles wsj" on Google. Chris Knight sounds a little bit bitter, but what he needs to realize is that you get what you pay for.
