Article Marketing vs. EZA vs. Ezines vs. Traffic vs. Sales

by Allen Graves
8 replies
Just wanted to clear a couple of things up that have been going on lately. Many newbies are using major article marketing terms incorrectly.

1. EZA is not the term for article marketing, EZA stands for EzineArticles.com which is an article directory (widely regarded as the "best"). If you have a question about article marketing, then you should use the term "article marketing" instead of EZA.

2. An Ezine is not Ezinearticles.com. An Ezine is an electronic magazine, usually dedicated to a specific niche or topic, that is emailed out to a list of subscribers (or published online). Basically it is a detailed newsletter. So if you are speaking about EZA, the article directory, please do not call it "ezines" or "Ezine."

Also, if you are speaking of your article marketing experience, there is a huge difference between click-through traffic and conversions (sales).

Respectfully,
Allen Graves

    I'm tired of saying the same thing again and again. Maybe you have more luck. To me it seems that those newbies (the ones you're talking to) are not here to learn but to ... I don't know ... maybe to kill some time waiting for the information to pass quitly inside their brain without any effort from their part Thank you, anyway.

    Well, if they are here to learn, this pretty much sums it up. Lets just hope they read it.

    Sometimes it takes a few tries to get something across to someone, especially in a busy forum like this where they may not open every thread.

    Every day I check the obituaries. If I don't see my name there, then I know it's going to be a good day!

      article marketing hell.

      You're right, but maybe you can do something to grab their attention. Like changing the headline into "How I made $xx,xxxx using ezine articles" and then starting the OP by "Simply. I've started from the starting point - from the basics, I learned and then ... Anyway, forget for the time being about the thousands of dollars I was mentioning in the headline and read some basics NOW. You'll be one step closer to SUCCESS! ..."

    Allen, You got it all wrong.

    1. EZA is a rock concert held during the 2nd week of April in the outskirts of Spain.

    2. Ezine is a common term used to describe a male person's location. Example "Ezine the restroom" or "Ezine the EZA concert holding a lighter."

    Get it right, man!
