A quick Ezine Articles Question

[precious007]

Hey Warriors I've been reading the forums for about 2/3 months now, I've found WF's one of the most complete guides to internet marketing, however I still have issues that I just don't understand regarding article marketing.

One simple question.. And I bet most people are having this issue. How do I get more traffic from Ezine Articles? EZA has been one of my favorite article directories where I've submitted most of my articles....

The thing I've noticed lately that the articles don't send as much traffic as they used to. Their ranking have dropped and automatically the traffic s*cks.

Anyone more experienced with article marketing can give us some advice? Please be transparent... I've used social bookmarking .. without any great results..

Thanks Warriors

Articles definitely drop off significantly after a while. I think people are going to tell you to just keep on writing new articles.

As far as pushing your articles back up in the rankings, I'd suggest some rss submissions too, and make sure you are building links to your author page, which would then spread around to your articles.

hey thanks, I've heard that building links back to my author page works significantly well. I'll have to figure out how do I go about doing it effectively. Using my author link on blog commenting should this work?

Any more ideas guys? Maybe things that have worked for you?

Thanks

Write (or get written) high quality articles and then submit them to EZA. Do thorough and proper keyword research as well.Don't neglect that aspect. Also, don't rely only on eza for traffic, try other methods such as squidoo, hubpages etc for back links to your site.
Hope this helps.
All the best,
Shony

Thanks Shone, I've started building some high quality lenses and hubpages a few days ago.. I am not relying on EZA traffic but I wouldn't mind generating some sales from EZA which I highly doubt

I have heard that some people use social networks to vote their articles to getting better exposure at EzineArticles. Kind of like getting your Diggs dug at Digg...

Well, are your articles search engine optimized? Are you using the paid or free portion of ezine articles? Are you targeting a niche that reads articles, it is easy to find you?

Is your resource box an actual resource with clickable links or is it just a lengthy beat of your own drum. Traffic is awesome, conversion is better. I am of the opinion if you focus on conversion, the traffic will take care of itself.

Also how many articles are you posting a day? Content is great, it's King and Queen. The more the better. Are topics focused or the varied across the board. I'd like to know more about where you are coming from in order to better assist you

Here are some of my articles on ezine articles to give you an idea what I mean!

One thing that I've been experimenting with is to submit 5 articles on the same subject to EZA. Then, when they get published, go over and make a squidoo lens.

Write an introduction.

Then have 5 "text" modules.

For each of the text modules, put about 1/3 of the article you used on EZA in the box. And the end of your "teaser" article, place a "to continue reading "<a href=ezineartilces.com/yourarticlesite>" click here." tag

Between each of your text modules, place a link back to your money site in the form of a blackboard, sticky note, etc.

That alone has significantly increased the number of views I've had on older articles.
