Help... Dazed and confused!

[LeeClarke]

I need help... I am trying article marketing for the first time... EzineArticles is so frustrating.. So I found other directories to submitt to... My questions is do I need a fresh new article for each directory. or do I submitt the same article to several directories? I have heard google does not like multiple content to get your blog ranked for traffic... So if the same article is on many article directories as well as on my blog... does that create google traffic issues?

I have 2 blogs preselling the same affilate program. I write a different article on the same subject for each blog and post 1 article on GoArticles for the 1 blog and the other article for EzineArticles for the other blog... This is taking up alot of time...

Plus no sales yet!!!! Driving me crazy!

Please advise.....

Article marketing can take an immense amount of time.

How many articles have written and submitted?

Try to get things to work with ezine articles, it's worth it.

You have no sales, but how much traffic are you getting?

Do you have a fantastic resource box at the bottom of each article?

Are you building a list with the traffic you are getting, or do you lose contact with that visitor forever?

I wouldn't worry to much about the duplicate content thing.

Thanks for the feedback.... I wrote 12 for Ezine. They posted 6 with about 400 hits total about 22 clicks. Not good numbers... I am suspended for an article that resembled another one posted there so I deleted it, and they have 5 to be posted. I am getting better at writing. I started 20 feb 09 and got frustrated, but I am back to writing articles everyday. My GoArticles are getting better traffic.

I think my blogs and sig lines need work. For my blogs I just post my articles and include a call to action to check out my affilate sales page

So obviously I need help... any help will be appreciated.

I do not think I can post my blog or ezinearticle sigs here so Let me know what to do to get some feedback.

I am not building a list yet... No budget for autoresponder. That will be first thing I do when I get a sale.

I will post to other directories, Thanks for the advice.

Hi,

You can't stumble again, only other peoples (different account,different ip). Yes the quality and the quantity is really important. Try to focus on low competiting keywords. And the quantity factor: My stats show that an average article on EZA (300 words good ,resources box,promoting avarage affiliate stuff) will bring $10 per month. (it's depend on many-many factors but an average).
Many-many good articles => sales

All the best,
Adam
