    • Google and Ezinearticles don't accept keyword density over 2%.

      However Yahoo and Msn accept keyword density upto 5%.

  • This is a modification of an idea I stole from a guy named Allen Says

    Go to the sales page of the product you are going to promote and write down the bullet points. Now write articles to answer a couple of the points using them in the title along with your keywords.

  • Instead of posting articles in article directories and have to get them approved, you can use web 2.0 sites and post them without approval.. and even borrow higher authority.

    Squidoo.com
    Weebly.com
    Hubpages.com
    Quizilla.com
    WetPaint.com
    to name a few...

    • Why not post to both article directories and web 2.0 sites? And spin the articles for individual submission (to make the content unique) while at it?

      Let's try to get a bigger piece of the internet pie.

  • Hi there,

    I always submit a unique version of my article to Ezinearticles as that gets the most traffic. The rest of the article directories I pretty much use for backlinks. I've just started using Google Knoll as that seems to be a good site too and I reckon Google may like it !

    I was using ArticleBot but found it a bit too time consuming so bought Magic Article Submitter recently and found that has freed up a lot of time when it comes to submitting articles.

    The main thing is to get your keyword in the title, write naturally and well with your keywords in the body and then use a keyword for the anchor text in the resource box.

    I'd recommend taking some of your articles and using them in web 2.0 properties such as Squidoo and so on as these are great places to get traffic from and if you comment / participate / rate in Squidoo you can get a lot of article views.

    All the best

    Jason

    • Hi Jason,

      Magic Article Submitter works great but I submitted a article to 600 directories and only 98 have been approved and the rest still under review. It has been 6 weeks. Another drawback is that it only submit to article dash board sites but a plus is you can submit spin ready articles. We must twist Alex's arm and ask him to include other directories in the program as well.

      A friend of mine started a new site using article dashboard and has 7000+ article on already. It is articleblast.info so you might want to add that to your submitter.

    Reverse engineer the top author for your chosen category. These guys have done this for years, tested formats, tested resource boxes and tested landing pages (wow, lots of testing). You can reinvent the wheel, but success is going to take a lot longer.

    • I totally agree with the bookmarking idea. I use Firefox for my bookmarks, and I make a copy of them every so often, using the Bookmarks-Organize Bookmarks-Backup and Export HTML features.

      Also, I keep backups of ALL my computer files (including business files) at myotherdrive.com. There is a free 2GB account you can get there too. Of course, a backup hard drive also works for this.

  • Just like to expand on Jeremy Kelsall's points which
    I'm in full agreement on:

    To automate in general:
    => iMacros
    => A certain Windows Automation software (*hint - see my signature) =P

    Specialized article submission software
    => SE Nuke (automates social bookmarking, video submission and others as well)
    => Incansoft's ArticleBot


    Outsourcing:
    => Odesk
    => Agents of Value
    => Or do simply do a search in Warrior Forum in the WSO,
    Warriors For Hire, and Warrior Classified Ads section. There
    are plenty of good Warriors offering their services here.


    I use to do everything myself. But no more. Enough is enough.
    Leverage is extremely important if you want to scale fast.

    Automation and outsourcing will be your 2 best weapons.

    • Make sure your resource box has a strong call to action. Readers want to know what clicking on your link will do for them.

      Nobody cares that Sally Jo is the best puppy sitter in Camden County with 14 years of experience doing blah, blah, blah. People just want to know how to get the puppy to stop peeing on the carpet.

      The resource box should tell people, "to solve your problem, click the link", and little else.

    • Submit your RSS feeds, ping when new article is live.

      Think about video sites, things like TubeMogul, then turn your articles into voice over videos, over a powerpoint presentation, people do like this.

      Write 2 articles per day, it's easy done!

      Remember what people type in google..

      "I was doing a fart, but it came out all runny what do I do?"

      Your article could appear for that big long sentence even if you weren't meaning for it to, that's what's great about having more articles - 2 per day!

      Never underestimate the power of ezine articles, but never underestimate the power of good research before choosing where to put your article.

      Also not always is it best to put your articles on web 2.0 properties and instead it could all be done on a blog!

    • One thing I don't understand is the obsession over do-follow vs. no-follow links. Unless, of course, your sole reason for submitting the article is the link.

      Wanting to get something for your submission is obvious. But there is more out there than just link juice.

      If the link is no-follow, but people read and click on it, you get something out of the placement.

      If the link is no-follow, but other people syndicate your article - and your links - you get something out of the placement.

      As I see it, that's three valid reasons for submitting articles to other peoples' sites, and only one has anything to do with do-follow/no-follow.

      1. Direct traffic via click-through
      2. Syndication, spreading your article across the web
      3. Any SEO benefit for the link

      If a given site doesn't give you at least one of those three, then go ahead and cross them off your list.

  • Not many people realise that when you submit an article to EzineArticles.com you can have an anchor text link within your article.

    I think it has to be after the first two or three paragraphs though.

    It's a great way to get more click-thru's without having to optimize your resource box.

    • Go to Ezinearticles . . .

      Click through author profiles until you find someone who wrote a bunch of articles on one niche.

      Those are your "money niches" that you should start focusing on.

      And if they are back linking them, even better.

      Stop trying to guess what niche to go into.

      It is all out in the open right in front on your eyes.

      Once you find a good niche start writing the articles for your own site. Start back linking your own site.

  • This is a cool idea, Allen! Another way to add tons of value to this forum.

    I love article marketing. It's gotta be my top strategy (has been for a long while.)


    The title of your article is more important than most marketers realize.

    Think of the tips you've read or heard about creating powerful headlines. Many of the same principles apply here. Your title should:

    • Relay a strong benefit to the reader (preferably a specific one.)

    • Include 'hot button' words, trance words, or Keywords. The reader should immediately recognize what the article is about, and whether or not it relates to him. (These are also the keywords/keyphrases that your targeted buyers would be searching online for.)

    • Phrase your title in the form of a question, just as many powerful headlines are. Ex: "Would you like to improve..."..."Do you make these xyz mistakes...", etc.

    Hot Tip: Your headline should appeal to both humans and search engines. Here's an easy way to do that...

    Place your strong keywords at the beginning (for search engines,) then follow with a strong/specific benefit (for humans.)

    Example: Fly Fishing - Do You Make These 3 Common Fly Fishing Mistakes?

    And, don't be subtle! Get the reader's attention by spicing your headline up a bit. (If you can make it controversial, shocking or outrageous, go for it. Added tip: Do read and review the article directory's terms/rules and sample articles to get an idea of what you can and can't do.)

    Remember, your goal is to get their attention, just as you would when creating a powerful ad.

    The Summary / Description of your Article(s)

    The summary or description is a short blurb you submit to the article directories. It's like a soft ad for your article. If your summary is interesting and compelling enough, the reader will want to read more.

    If your article gets picked up by search engines, your summary/description is what they will display below your headline. Again, this is what will further entice your reader to click on your link, to read the rest of your article. (There may be 100 other articles on the subject of your choosing. Why should readers pick yours?)

    You want to use powerful keywords in your summary as well, and you also want to offer a powerful benefit.

    And, just like with the headline, you can phrase your summary in the form of a question. Then follow up with a promise to answer that question inside the article.

    Example: Would you like to improve your fly fishing results dramatically? In this article, you will learn 3 quick and easy ways to do just that.

    Notice how the first sentence asks a relevant question, and the second one promises to answer it - inside.


    Here's something else that will get your articles picked more often than others...

    Certain types of articles tend to draw more clicks, readers and exposure than others. So, it only makes sense to learn about these proven formulas and formats for creating articles, and then focus only on those. (Time is our most precious commodity, yes?)

    Here are some of the best article formats to use, for maximum results:

    • A "How To..." article: "How to Do xyz"..."How to Be xyz"..."How to Have xyz", etc.

    • A "Steps" article: "5 Steps to XYZ..." (This one is similar to the 'How to' article.)

    • A "Tips" article: "5 Tips For..." (improving your golf swing, curing athlete's foot, etc.)

    • A "Lists" article: "Top 5 List of xyz..." (places, services, mistakes, snappy comebacks, etc.)

    • A "Reviews" article: Here you would basically write a review for a product, service, etc. (Great to use with / promote affiliate programs.)

    • A "Mistakes" article: "5 Common XYZ Mistakes..." (And How to Avoid Them...etc.)


    You can also spice things up by using some of these types...

    • 5 Warning Signs...

    • 10 Rules of...

    • 7 Deadly XYZ Mistakes...

    • 5 Questions You Must Ask (Your ABC...Before You XYZ...etc.)


    It's cool that Allen has chosen this as the first "All-In-One" topic. If I had to choose one traffic strategy that would bring in traffic and sales consistently (long after I put in the work,) I would choose article marketing.

    Start using/testing the tips on this thread.

    • This may seem very vague because your numbers will not be the same, but try your best to know what is the MINIMUM average number of views you typically get per article along with the MINIMUM ctr. If you know these numbers you can manipulate them in ways that will bring in more cash. Like me for instance, I know that when I use article marketing my goal is to get 500 total views to my article using various sources other then the article directory. I use videos, forums, and blog commenting to get some of this traffic. I also know I will get at least 10% ctr. So if I write 10 articles I know I will get 5000 total views, 500 total hits to my landing page. At least 25% sign up to my list, so this will be 125 subscribers to my list. I also know that after a couple of days of using an autoresponder series to get closer to them that when I do introduce an affiliate product to them I will get at least a 3% conversion for the list. I only deal in products where I get at least a 40.00$ commission and up, I try to go for 50.00$. I simply make it my goal to know my numbers. I do my best to automate every step of the article marketing steps to save time, and if I do really good I will pay for a little traffic to the landing page or advertise offline in cheap targeted publications. Small ads usually only run me about 50.00$. KNOW YOUR NUMBERS AND THEN FIND WAYS TO MANIPULATE THEM.

    • Lots of good tips here, Boss! This thread is terrific! This is good advice for a variety of writing types. Good of you to share! KUDOS!
    • Disclaimer: This is NOT a plug for my service. Now with that said...

      I can not tell you how much I harp on my members about choosing titles for the articles they submit to my network.

      I'd like to add that doing some keyword research on your topic is a GREAT way to find long tail keyword phrases that you can convert into titles.

      Additionally you can add variations like Bryan has suggested to you can churn out different versions of the phrase you picked from your research.

      I am of the opinion that one must first find what people are searching for in your niche by doing research. Then write the article around the phrase people are searching for while making the phrase the title of the article.

      If you have the luxury of placing links in your article content refrain from doing what I call the link cluster. This is the practice of placing all your keyword based links in the last one or two sentences of your article. Nothing screams spam to search engines more, and just think what readers think.

      They are called in-content links for a reason. Weave them naturally into your articles instead of spamming your own article by placing them all at the bottom.

      Just my 2 cents.

    • [ 3 ] Thanks
  • To add more value to this thread, here are some of my
    own points of view really quickly...

    1. Remember What Article Marketing Is

    Article marketing is using articles to market or promote
    something. It's not meant to boost your ego (though
    it's a side-effect)

    2. Remember "Spice Girls"
    • "Tell me whatchu want, what you really-really-want!"
    Do the keyword research to find out what people are
    searching for and create an article around it.
    • "I'll tell you what I want, what I really-really-want!"
    The results are in the research results. If it's there,
    people are looking for it - create the article with those
    keywords.

    3. Assume = @SSUME = Making an @$$ out of U and ME

    People who write articles without doing the research are
    naively believing that they know what people want... even
    if the article is written well and amazingly, eventually, it'll
    be undiscovered because it was never written to a person
    who was looking for it.

    The only people who will read it are those who see it
    published on the day/week itself. After that, the traffic's
    almost non-existant.

    4. Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Enter

    That's the age-old code for "Contra" for unlimited lives to
    play over and over again... so, you get to play the article
    marketing game over and over again.

    Chances of writing your first article and having it score
    9,423,454 views is absolutely possible, yes... very
    possible - if you refreshed long enough. Just keep at it...
    Most quit too early, in my opinion.

    And that's it... those are my 4 really quick points about
    article marketing.

    • If you write a article, whats the point of auto submission to more than one article site, google would not class it as unique content and throw on the bottom of the pile.

      I feel it would me more valuable picking one major article site and working on the SEO of that article and getting back links.

  • Great thread!

    I would add make sure you don't answer all the questions or tell everything in your article or they won't need to click through to your site.

    Also, don't put a conclusion in your article. Your bio will be your conclusion.

    • [ 2 ] Thanks
  • Articles don't have to be mammoth monsters. They're like teasers - they whet appetites for more. I see a lot of people getting bogged down in trying to churn out some 750-word articles. A 300-400 word piece will do just fine.

    If you feel intimidated writing, remember the basics from school. Write your article like you build a hamburger:

    Top Bun - The introduction where you state your opinion or the fact, plus add 3 reasons why this is true.

    Lettuce - Reason #1 backed up by some explanation about it.

    Tomato - Reason #2 backed up by some explanation about it.

    Meat - Reason #3 backed up by some explanation about it.

    Bottom bun - Restate the fact/opinion in a different way, followed by (in the case of article marketing), a call to action to learn more. This bottom bun can often be your bio box.

    This is fundamental, you can certainly use another type or style, but it's good for those struggling with writing. Here's an outline example using that formula:

    Top bun: Diets Don't Work (reasons: hunger, favorites, failure)
    Lettuce: They leave you hungry
    Tomato: They force you to give up your favorite foods
    Meat: Statistics show most people regain the weight
    Bottom bun: Diet's don't work, but you can still lose weight eating all you want without ever going hungry again. Click here to download a free report about mindful eating...blah blah blah

    Just remember that article marketing is NOT your platform to showcase your entire library of knowledge about a particular topic. It's the bait you use for consumers to get on the hook.

    • When I posted this last night, I thought perhaps I'd get a few late-night responses. Wow, great insights. I've learned so much. I've decided that I'm going to:

      1. Do good keyword research (I feel like I can handle this).

      2. Use those same keyword(s) not only in articles, but in video titles too.

      3. Start writing using many of the suggestions here

      4. Submit, submit, submit.

      If anyone is stil reading this thread - does anyone have an example of a short article that includes many of the things talked about here?

      -keyword(s) in title

  • Beware of Nofollow directories!

    Why give your blood, sweat and tears driven content to them if they won't give you a miserable dofollow link?

    2 directories at the time of writing this that are nofollow enabled are Articlebase and articlealley.

    I say boycott them in favor of dofollow directories.

    I liken it to painting a friends house and not been offered so much as a drink.

    Your Call?

    • It's a shame that articlebase is nofollow... however, they give you really decent rankings (sometimes even better than EZA). I submitted an article last week and it got ranked FIRST in Google in less than 24H.

      And the keyword is super profitable.

      I say: do not boycott AB because you still get a lot of traffic and branding. This is good.

      Best,

    • I believe it is unnatural for a website's backlinks to be all do-follow and it is nearly impossible to make that happen. I don't think it is in our best interest to shun no-follow links. Yahoo and Bing follow them. I make money off of yahoo and bing searches, don't you? "Follow" is a Google thing. Heck, even Google itself will sometimes follow a no-follow link because the Google bots travel so fast, they hve been known to inadvetently jump right over the no-follow gate. I believe all kinds of links will benefit any website.

    • You might want to refer to or mention another article, or have a part one and a part two which provides you with more ammo to use.

      The first thing is, of course, to know what you want your article to do. Many will just say they want it to SELL something. Well, I'm of the opinion most articles should sell YOU, the first sale you make will be your EXPERTISE on the subject.

      I've found this demonstrated by the quality of articles and not necessarily the number. If you are the person who wrote 6 great articles on a subject...and someone else has 60 oh so so-so, then YOU get the cred. Get the cred, get the bread.

      A poorly written article will give you instant crud and thud, you want the cred and bread.

      The problem here at the WF is, there are so many people who have used article marketing and have had their success, well it is hard to give any across the board or general advice other than to say, they're doing it and making dough. OH, I just wanted to use a sentence with the 'theres' in it.

      KNOW what you want the article to do, then construct with the reader's response in mind. It ain't rocket science, but then, I ain't no Einstein either.

  • There has been lots of debate in the past about publishing articles to your OWN website first. This proves that you SHOULD.

    From Buzzle:
    "Eventually your article will get posted on potentially 100's of web sites. Search engines need to know where the content originated from. This is why it's important to post your articles within your own blog, or web site before you submit them online to other sites."

  • When you write a resource box, do not waste your time focusing on who you are or all that you accomplished. Lay aside your ego and make the sale. Give them a reason to want to click on the link in the box.
  • Here are some tips to convert your article readers to buyers.


    1. Do not overdo it.

    You do not need to overdo your promotion when it comes to your articles. Internet users these days are much wiser than they are before. They can easily see through it if you are simply trying to stick much advertisement in their throats. Instead of overselling and hard-selling, aim to establish credibility through your articles.


    2. Establish credibility step-by-step.

    You cannot instantly create credibility over a single article but you can accomplish this step by step. You have to make sure that your article content is honest and believable enough. Instead of blunt promotions, you can try providing information related to your niche or you can create product reviews which compare your product to the competition. This way, readers can know why they should prefer your product or your company over others using verifiable information.


    3. Create opportunities for them to get more.

    Once you have established credibility, then you must provide them opportunities to have more. You can lead them to other articles; you can lead them to your site for more ideas; you can lead them to your sales page to buy; or you can lead them to another page to regularly subscribe. The important thing is, do not stop with your articles as they are only stepping-stones to making each reader become a buyer.

      1. You need to have high quality articles ;
      2. You should create more articles in a short period of time ;
      3. You need to facilitate article creation and syndication process so that you will have time to create more and more articles ;
      4. You have to create search engine friendly articles ;
      5. You have to get your article published in as many high traffic sites as possible, etc.
  • SEO checklist (some of the on page factors)

    The following is a list of factors which will increase your chances of your article being listed on top of google results. Keep in mind that search engine robots will never buy your stuff but people will - if your web pages read and look attractive to humans. So, please keep the following factors in mind but make things feel natural and convincing. Designing your content for both spiders and humans might be tricky at times. As a general rule: whenever you cannot make both sides happy - consider the people your priority.


    • Title: Include the main keyword in the title (for best results: let your title start with the keyword, for example: "keyword | 5 tips", etc.)
    • Start a sentence with the keyword (once or twice)
    • Place an LSI keyword (related keyword) close to the page's main keyword (once or twice - don't overdo it)
    • Use LSI keywords in the text (1 to 4 times)
    • H1, h2, h3 tags - include the keyword at least once
    • bold or italic - emphasize the keyword at least once
    • image's file name - as long as the image directly relates to the keyword
  • --> Always talk about a PROBLEM and a solution

    "How can i ..."
    "How to..."
    "How to Fix..."

    and so on are GREAT titles. Combine with effective keywords.

    You would be amazed if you'd know how many people look daily on google for a VERY concrete solution to a problem "How can i fix...." <-

    In your article, make it clear that you are competent and you know what you are talking about. Dont over-promote a product, sound neutral and knowledgeable.

    PROVIDE the solution. Dont spill the WHOLE solution in the article - the "ultimate" and "best" solution for the reader is always to click on your link <---

    Eg. the article *could* be about some freeware software which does this or that, you mention this in the article, but you make it clear that the comerical XYZ has more features and is better for only few bucks....and...guess where you can get it? Yes...from clicking on your link.
  • Article marketing is not a get rich quick scheme, it takes hard work and constant upkeep. At some point you will reach a level where you don't have to write everyday etc to keep your income flowing but it will take you time to reach that point. Don't expect the results to hit overnight. It is a long term strategy. Keep at it and it will pay off.

    Do your research, what works in one niche may or may not work in the next, and for this reason understand it takes testing and fine tuning each niche to get the perfect formula. And on the same note, remember what works for one person may or may not work for the next. Some people can get away with longer articles and not bore the crap out of the reader, where other authors are better suited to the shorter articles, so as not ot lose th reader before the click through.

    Just keep trying.

    • I'm sorry. I should elaborated more. =)

      MOST people get turned off just at the SIGHT of a lengthy article as well, in most niches, therefore do not even bother to check it out. This is exactly what you DON'T want when trying to get a click-through. If they want more info, they will click.

      An exception to this though would be something like the relationship niche. Someone trying to salvage their relationship/marriage will be extremely desperate and therefore would most likely read a lengthy article, provided it has great content to offer. Therefore, in such a niche, you could provide a lengthy article indeed, offering enough information without giving too much away.

  • One big thing I am not understanding here. Most people here seem to be advocating giving tips, answering questions, solving problems etc. in your article like you are writing a paper on a certain topic.

    Why would you solve the problem in your article? Isn't the product you are trying to sell, or the report you are trying to give away meant to solve the problem?

    Shouldn't the article itself be reminding people what their problem is, and why it is a problem in the first place? From here we can suggest our product as a solution.

    It seems to me that doing it the way that most people suggest just solves peoples problems and sends them on their way...what is their incentive to click on our link or move on to our next offer?
  • Trent,

    IMO it works best to give them SOME tips, but keep them wanting/needing more. This is a way of showing them that you actually CAN help them, and that you WANT to help them. By the end of your article, you have to have them WANTING to click that link and KNOWING that it will definitely be worth their while. Anyone can say, "click the link and I'll show you how", but if you give them a "taste" of what your offering, they will be "salivating" for more, in the process increasing the amount clicks. ;]

  • Article marketing method is useful for link building regardless the article is duplicate content or not.
  • Some good advice here. I tend to write long articles as a few of the sites I like to post too require 750 words as minimum. I usually have to write a trimmed down version for eza.

    Beware of Nofollow directories!
    >>

    Don't you think it would look a "little" suspicious if ALL your backlinks are dofollow?
    I am pretty sure Google analyzes that aspect too to determine how "natural" links are...
  • Hello friends! A lot of great tips here! I'll have to come back & read more of them. I have been doing a lot of research on articles with tons of views & testing myself.

    There are two things that really stand out to me. A great headline can be incredibly effective, even if you don't do well with many other aspects. I'm not saying write garbage, but I've seen articles where people don't do much of anything right, but they have a great headline & get massive views.

    The other aspect would be great SEO & use of keywords. It's not about density, it's about placement.

    Write your article first making it natural & readable, then go back & optimize. It doesn't have to be super keyword dense, it's more about placement. Use keyword(s) as close to the beginning of your title as possible.

    Also use them at the beginning of your teaser copy (summary or meta description). Use them close to the first word of three to four paragraphs as well as in your author resource box. Having them peppered lightly through the article (3-5 times), but properly placed will do far more than trying to put them in there a ton of times.

    Happy Holidays to all,

    • I posted this elsewhere before discovering this thread. I think it ought to go here too!

      I've been doing a lot of article marketing recently and I thought it might be helpful to put together my list of top 20 sites.

      The sites that have made it onto the list have done so based on a combination of Alexa Rank and Page Rank: ie, a site has to have a good combination of both to make it onto the list.

      For convenience, I've arranged the sites in order based on their Alexa ranking.

      Please feel free to add your suggestions if you think there are other sites that should have made the cut!

      Page Rank

      Even though links may be no-follow I felt that Page Rank was an important ingredient as the higher the PR the more likely your article is to show in the organic results.

      Figures in brackets = 2007 rankings

      The figures in brackets show the sites' respective rankings in May 2007 - I've added these because they give an indication of which sites are on the way up and which are on the way down.

      It's interesting to see how many of the sites (11) have lost page rank in the last couple of years. Only two - ArticleBase and GoArticles - have gained page rank. Of the remainder, three have stayed the same and there are four sites for which I don't have figures - these are marked (n/a). :confused:

      Of the 16 sites for which I have figures all of them have increased their Alexa ranking.

      EzineArticles remains the Daddy of them all, but ArticleBase is catching up fast.

      My personal top three (marked with an ) are EzineArticles, ArticleBase and GoArticles. In addition to their combination of high Alexa and Page rankings, these seem to be the sites that are most likely to get your article a high organic ranking in the search engines.

    • It depends on your niche. Noone can really give you an answer.

      but as a rule of thumbs, you'll make $1 per article (I'm talking about direct sales).

      I also wanted to say that the money you generate is not just from the first sales (affiliate/your product), but from your sales funnel.

      You must focus on building a list.

  • Leaving the classic "conclusion" part from your article
    may increase your Click-Trough Rate...

    (People subconsciously expect the conclusion but
    get to your resource box and are more likely to click)

    Another way: Give like 2-3 tips and tricks that
    make a lot of sense and are very helpful and then
    begin the last one but leave something out to
    increase the curiosity and get the visitor to your site

    BUT

    If the help-factor of your article isn't great, then you
    will not benefit much from getting the click anyway.
    You need site visitors that are warmed up for what is to come.

    If you are new, don't try to work too many niches simultaneously.

    Write for one niche for couple days/weeks and see
    what they respond to best.

  • Forget about article views and click throughs, unless you are going to dig deeper.

    As was revealed in a thread the other day, stats at EzineArticles are showing way fewer views because Ezine came up with a better algorithm to filter out "bots" and just show views by real humans.

    Some people are reporting 75% drops in views from what they used to get on a new article.

    Now that you know that, doesn't it make you feel kind of silly for checking stats so frequently?

    Pay attention to where sales come from; then duplicate those types of articles, those types of headlines, those types of resource boxes.

    An article with 10 views and 1 click that led to a sale is infinitely better than an article with 10,000 views, 2000 clicks and 0 sales.

    A guy I worked for years ago taught me that it's not how hard you work but how smart you work.

    Work smart, you'll make more money on less effort.

  • One little thing, don't submit your article to just one directory. Seriously, people
    who use only 1 directory such as EZA have no idea how much traffic they're losing.

    After your article gets accepted by EZA, submit it to other directories. Then
    submit it to document directories such as scribd, and on websites like hubpages.

    Cheers,

  • Every niche is different. Same strategy doesn't work in all the niches. If you see a little success in one niche, try to maximize it instead of try to get the same success in other niches.

    Once you feel that you cannot leverage anymore, automate it and then move to the next niche. Until then, make the maximum out of it.

  • So far I have done all my submissions manually. I submit to my favourite three directories: EZA, GoArticles and ArticleBase.

  • Besides building links to your own sits, use article marketing to build passive income - i.e. submit to directories that pay you.

    And by pay I mean:
    - Let you post affiliate links in the articles.
    - Let you revenue share adsense with the directories (at least 50-50).

    Then automate (or outsource) the process.

  • Know your target audience, if you're target audience is 18 -25 year old men do you think they'd respond to your article the same as a 65 year old woman. The simple answer is no. Put yourself in the shoes of the people who are going to buy your product and write for them.

    Your target audience may not aways be what you think it is. To give you a rough idea of who you are writing for go to Alexa.com and type in your root keyword. i.e dog training, diabetes, car insurance etc and click on a result with a high alexa ranking. Click on the 'audience' tab and scroll down to find your audience demographic.

  • Hello everyone,

    Here's my tip for the day....

    Take a good look at the search results for your keyword/s on Google before you submit your articles.

    Google does not like any particular site to dominate the top results. I've never seen more then 2 results from the same website in the top 10.

    Why does this matter? Let's say you put your keyword into Google and find that there are already 2 results from EZA in the top 10, but you don't see many other results from other directories such as buzzle or articlesbase in the top 100.

    Putting the 2 EZA articles on yahoo site explorer, you see the 2 articles have loads of backlinks, and so could be more difficult to outrank. If you submit your article to EZA then under these circumstances you won't get into the top 10 without a lot of promotional work on your articles, which will have to do better then the 2 EZA articles already in the top 10.

    So in this situtation its best to submit your article to another directory (for example goarticles, articlesbase, buzzle), and concentrate on promoting that. This way the article could get into the top 10 with far less promotional work.


    Regards

    • ==============

      Frank, not only will you not find more than two articles from the same domain on the front page of Google for any one search term, you will not find more than two top level domains shown for any one search term no matter how far down you drill in the Google listings.

      This is, as you said, why it is not in your best interest in writing an article targeting a keyword phrase if there are two EZA showing high in the Google listings. You would have to beat one of them out in Google's eyes or your article will never show in Google for that search term no matter how good it is.

      It is HUGE that you understand this fact! --Mike

    • One easy way around this or way to take advantage of it is to find those two that are currently ranking and go to Backlinks Checker Tool - Backlink Watch

      If one or both do not have backlinks then you are in business ... just go and use the same keywords and bada bing.

    • Create a strategy by answering these questions:

      1. Your target audience:
      Who is your most desired reader?
      What size business does your reader own or work for?
      What needs does your desired reader have that you can fulfill?

      2. Submission goals:
      Are you submitting in order to receive incoming live one-way links?
      Will you be promoting a blog, forum or website?
      Are you hoping to increase sales of a particular product or service?

      3. Search engine benefits:
      What targeted keywords will you use in your title, article and byline?
      How will the one-way links from sites publishing your articles increase your
      search engine rankings?
      Will you agree to a reciprocal link if asked by a publisher?
      Will you display a "Featured Author" graphic on your site if requested by the publisher?

      4. Submission formats:
      Which of these formats will you offer when submitting your articles?
      PDF
      HTML
      Word
      Text

      5. Submission list:
      Will you be submitting your articles in print and/or online?
      Do you have an existing submission list that targets topics of interest to your
      target audience.
      If you do not have a submission list where will you obtain one?
      How often will you search for new submission sites to add to your list?

      6. Scheduling submissions:

      How often will you write an article for submission?
      Will you be sending out an article weekly, monthly or quarterly?

      7. Stand out in a crowd:
      What will you do enhance your relationships with publishers?
      Will you offer customized versions of your articles for free or for fee?
      Will you display the list sites that published your articles on your web site?
      Did you consider allowing publishers to insert their affiliate link in your article or
      your byline?

      8. Tracking your results:
      Have you asked publishers to notify you when they use an article?
      Will you spend time checking to see if sites publishing your article gave you a live link to your site as required?
      During what time intervals after submission will you search Google for your
      article name?
      How often will you check your website metrics to see traffic driven by your article
      submissions?
  • I write a good article and rewrite it 2 times (to get three versions). I submit the one I like better to EzineArticles in order to get, not only a backlink, but also traffic. Then, I use software to spin the three versions and submit the resulting articles. With that process I get several dozens of articles that I use mainly for backlinks.
    From the article I write for EzineArticles I also like to make a video and submit it to Youtube with the purpose of getting traffic.

    With that method, from just one original article, I get a lot of backlinks and plenty of traffic.

    For me the key here is to write good content using good keywords (the ones with more searches and less competition). Even though this requires more work than "copy-paste" type articles, it is way more effective.

    • While I agree with this on some levels, you should also make sure that you are not just pumping out article after article in a blind manner. The real power of article marketing (besides getting listed in the search engines) is the ability of your articles to be syndicated around the web.

      I have had a few of my articles from ezinearticles.com go viral, and I even had one big time internet marketer send my article to their list. When this happened I added over 150 subscribers to my email list in a single day, and made and made 11 sales of my OTO (one time offer) for $17 on the front-end.

      The true power of article marketing lies with creating great content, and getting your articles syndicated around the net!

  • You have made an outstanding thread bout the article marketing. Your tips re nice and cool.article marketing is becomig more important and famous these days.People are expanding their business through article writing.you have done good research work and shared here.I appreciate your this effort for bringing such nice article here.
  • Definitely make sure you know your target market and try as best as you can to appeal to them. You may need to do some research to see how they talk, what they're interested in - but that research will pay off in the long run.

    And yes - spinning articles when you're focused on article marketing as your primary / secondary main source of marketing is sabotaging your own efforts.

    Just write them yourself, add some value, contribute, and you'll get good results.

  • Article marketing is still one of the best ways to drive a lot of traffic to your site, if you make it correctly. I encourage submitting your articles in Digg. It is very popular and interesting website that Google really like. Tell your friends to comment and digg your articles to make them appear one first pages then many people will read them. You get visitors and they recommend them to others. Social media made this a step easy but it always needs a right start and popular niche to write about.
  • All-in-ones are a great idea, thanks!

  • Write your article like you are explaining the topic to an 8th grader. It will keep your lingo at the appropriate level, and force you to explain certain concepts (adding to both related keywords and overall length).

    If you're stuck with writer's block, try to solve someone else's problem for them. (Use google to find out what those problems are!)
  • The way I see it, article marketing is the basic step every internet marketing newbie should take. Yes, you can outsource your articles but I will advise you to learn how to write articles and earn money first before doing this. So that you will be able to brief the freelancers better and pay them, make sense?

    Once you know how to write articles, you should have little problem applying all other strategies be it blogging, email marketing, writing ebooks, adding content to your sites, doing audios or videos.

    If you have problem writing articles and don't want to spend money, go to

    In schools, you write articles just to impress teachers and get better grades. Now you write to make money. So simply impress readers is not enough. You need to get them to take action. Such clicking the link in your resource box.

    As to which directories to post, click for top 50 articles.

  • Though Ezine Articles does not allow affiliate links, they allow Blogger or Squidoo links. So if you do not want to spend money on domain name and web hosting, you can set up a free Blogger account and blog from there. Same goes for Squidoo.

    Did a test by posting articles about Hyper Facebook Traffic and have them approved.

    You can check out my Ezine articles here.

    You can also check out my blog here.

    • I just wanted to add that this is a great way to test a niche or affiliate product, use free webspace to test a market. If the market looks good and you want to develop a product or website around it always keep the squid or blogger page to point to your new website.

      I think of it as every property you have is a traffic opportunity, I am just the traffic cop standing in the crowded intersection trying to direct the traffic where I want it to go.

  • Here's another quick tip for writing articles:

    Google Voice Transcription

    For those of you who hate typing, or can't type their thoughts very well, can you explain your thoughts verbally?

    Create a Google Voice account (free). Then call that number and leave yourself a message with your article. Google does a pretty decent job of transcribing the message in your 'inbox'. You can then copy/paste and edit.

    Leave the voicemail in the style as if you are leaving a detailed message for someone who just asked you a question about your article topic. It will sound natural, and be a helpful article.

    Some of you might find this a bit easier than sitting down and trying to bang out something on the keyboard.
  • My suggestion is to submit your first article
    to Ezine directory, upon accepted, post your
    article to other directories with minor amendment.

    Reasons are Ezine directory are extremely strict
    on article, but provides you with a lot of traffic.
    Some other directories, give approval almost
    immediate.

    Try to write the articles yourself before
    you decide to outsource the work,
    if you don't try you will never know
    what is good or bad.
    So at least you have tried, so you can
    better understand how it works and what you
    want. Don't let others tell you what to do,
    you are the boss when you outsource your work.

  • Never spin articles. They come out unreadable. Remember that your articles are for people, not the search engines. Search engines don't read, they crawl. So stop focusing so much on trying to get on the first page of Google. Just write good content that your readers will find valuable and Google, along with all the other search engines, will find it.

    When you write valuable content people will tweet about it, like it on facebook, bookmark it and share it with their friends. This of course makes the search engines think your content is important and they will send you more traffic. So again I say, FOCUS ON WRITING GOOD, VALUABLE CONTENT.

  • i usually do all submissions manually .... i think it is the better way...
  • I always try to submit unique & quality content
    1) Short & Interested title related to my site,
    2) I always try to make article at least 500 words,
    3) 3-5 keywords for per article,

    There is alot of sites that where we can submit our article,
    but I submit into:
    1) ezinearticles.com
    2) goarticles.com
    3) articlesbase.com
    4) amazine.com
    5) sooperarticles.com
    and much more..

    Then do bookmarks for these articles, share with facebook.com & twitter.

    So, This is some basic steps to submit articles and then, make it popular and get more visitors..
    Thank you...

    • What do you want? Backlink count from directory or ranking that properties. There are all different approach. Than you decide whether you want to submit original content, keyword reseach, competition analysis and etc.
  • MY HUGE TIP FOR NEWBIES!!!!!!

    UNDERSTAND - Article marketing is not a short term strategy. It is long term and this means you have to put in the time and you have to build up your business.

    Another thing to understand is that article marketing is not easy peasy like so many want to make it sound. It is not hard work, but it is still work that you have to do.

    One last thing QUALITY over QUANTITY. You want to write quality articles with proper SEO instead of just a ton of articles. This will ensure that even when Google makes changes you will still continue to get a large amount of traffic and high rankings.

  • If you do the Social Bookmarking of your approved ezine urls, it will help you to get MASSIVE Traffic on your sure, so social bookmarking is also a good method to attract the people.
  • There is one more good option to get heavy traffic on you site, first post 5 unique articles in Ezinearticles.com and after getting the approval from ezine do rewrite of each articles 3-times and post these rewrite articles in Uniquearticlewizard.com with resource file. Uniquearticlewizard will automatically post these articles in hundreds of article sites, so its a easy to attract peoples.
