    If you plan on doing article marketing you need more then just Ezinearticles.com you need to really get out their. If you have a blog or website you need to write articles in and submit it to a few places.

    If you mean by "direct linking" (i.e. not having a website of your own, but linking - via a masked top-level domain, in order to comply with EZA's rules on the subject - directly from your resource-box to an affiliate offer), it isn't viable. For many, many reasons.

    This isn't what article directories are there for, and isn't a productive or sensible way of using them.

    Your competitors are all doing something better than this and you'd be putting yourself at a huge disadvantage.

    It isn't necessary for anyone to do this, because it doesn't cost anything to have your own one-page blog/site (which may be all you need), and sending the traffic there instead.

    You can't ever build a list, if you try to market the way you suggest, so you're typically chasing about 10% of the available money and ignoring the other 90%.

    EZA doesn't get much traffic these days, anyway, after Google's recent algorithm change devalued the article directories so much.

    It would make no sense to send your traffic to someone else's site rather than to your own, anyway: let's say you had a 25% click-through rate at EZA - that would mean that you're losing 75% of your traffic there, whereas if they came to your site instead, there'd be four times as many people.

    EZA articles are all published on non-context-relevant, PR-0 pages which rank really badly, and it would be crazy to build backlinks to them and thereby promote someone else's site rather than your own.

    I could give another five or six reasons, too, but probably you're getting the message by now? This isn't a good thing to try to do, when you compare it with the alternatives.

      Depending only on ezineartice.com to make your desire money it can be very thigh, considering your competitors that are spend more to make more sales. To use only ezine article you will have to put everything you've gat to make your articles being viewed by "almost" every visitors at ezine, and making your articles ranking on Google search first page.

      Thank you, it is clear.. very clear. Also, I have couple of domains that I applied URL forwarding, What's the best thing I could do perhaps to profit from them? Can you list some points as well please?

    Yes, many people get confused because you USED to be able to make good money doing this. At least a few sales as all you had to do was write a 250 word article that was keyword packed and your article would appear on the first page of Google.

    You are FAR better using article directories as they are MEANT to be used and that is for syndication...

    It took me a long while to realize this!

    Your main focus should be growing your own web properties and not someone else's.

      And this ...

      The idea of using article directories for their own traffic and/or for their own backlinks isn't really very representative of article marketing at all. It was a sort of "poor man's corruption of article marketing" tried (with varying degrees of success) many years ago, when "having your own website" was both relatively expensive and relatively difficult. Neither is true now. There's no need to do this, and for most people it doesn't work, anyway. Especially since Google's last algorithm change.

      If you have a look through this forum's hundreds of threads with titles like "Is Article Marketing Dead?" and "Article Marketing Doesn't Work Any More", you'll find that what ALL their posters have in common is that they've been trying to use article directories for their own traffic and/or for their own backlinks, typically believing that what they've been doing "was 'article marketing' " (:rolleyes.

      There's a lesson there, and it isn't an obscure or difficult one.

          I've never used it, Sornie - sorry.

          For myself, I have no interest in automated mass submission of articles (or of anything) to pages that aren't relevant to my niches. "Numbers of backlinks" alone don't interest me, at all. (I've "been there, done that, seen the results" in the past - though admittedly not with UAW itself). I'm one of the many article marketers here who learned the hard/experimental way that what all the standard SEO-textbook writers say about this subject is absolutely true: one decent backlink from a decent, relevant site can be worth far more to my SEO efforts than tens of thousands of automated article directory backlinks. This is "link-juice" I don't need or want.

            While I've never used UAW to submit articles, I did experiment with using it to populate a site to see what would happen.

            In the interest of brevity, let's just say the results were not good. Garbage articles, submitted to the wrong categories, sometimes repeatedly.

            I can't imagine a website owner who actually gives a rip using the output from UAW. Leaving the thousands of unmonitored, unread and unranked sites that take anything submitted.

            I've mentioned this before in other threads on EzineArticles: many people like me DO go to EzineArticles to read content (i.e. it's one of a number of research sites I use).

            And many of my companies' clients find out about us there, too, in a similar manner, and this has nothing to do with page rank / Google Panda and all that. They went to EzineArticles, and using their search tool there, they surfed keyword topics and categories and ran across our content. And I'm talking very recently, too, as well as before Google updates.

            The most recent was a sale from a client who was not far from our location in Central Ohio, in Amish territory. He read our articles, emailed and called and became a client.

            So dig a little. And think: business.


            Are your articles sharing tips or news in your field?
            Does your resource box lead to your site?
            Can people follow up and contact you?

        Brilliant Answer Alexa

        You drive me mad with your great answers. Please allow me room to give an answer once in a while

        I haven't posted to EA for nearly a year. I can't think of a reason to do so.

        All the best
