Fantastic results !: 100 articles submitted to Ezine Articles last month

Hi Giggle

You can really take what Alexa says seriously - she is one savvy lady! Brains and good looks! You already success with your own articles - go back analyze them and apply them to the other ones. Trust your instincts and gut feeling. Forget what the guru's do or say!

IMHO it seems like you're attempting to "crack it" in to many niches at once - like already mentioned try and dominate 2 (at the most 3) at a time and get to know your audience. It seems like you've lost touch with your buyers (no offense).

BASIC SOS STRATEGY

- Is all your links working properly (site and EZA) check them out
- Check all the stuff on your blog and check your aff links and all the stuff Alexa pointed out

You have some awesome ideas on how to promote them further, but I would start off by opening up a spreadsheet with the following data (if you have not done so already)

KEYWORDS ARTICLE TITLE VIEWS CTR RESOURCE BOX HTML CODE DATE EDITED DATE RE SUBM DATE APPR

Then I will dissect each article and have a look at the following:

- Is the keyword you want to target in the article title
- Does the article start with a question or make the reader curious
- Do they have a compelling intro paragraph
- Does the article title deliver on what is promised in the article body
- Do the article give too much info and there is no "enticement/curiosity" for the reader to learn more
- Is it easy to read and "pleasing on the eye"
- Is there paragraph headings
- Is the paragraphs not longer than 5 sentences
- Does the resource box sucks?
- Do you use the same resource box for all the niches/articles (very bad, very very bad)
- Each niche is different and needs a different approach re resource box
- Do you entice the reader to continue "reading" further than the
last paragraph (sometimes, depending on the niche it is advisable
to make your resource box an extension of your article)
- Do they have a compelling (longer) article title on can you hype it up a bit without overdoing it
- I've experienced that longer resource boxes tends to convert better

You can easily go through 5-10 articles a day and do the necessary changes. Nowadays EZA allows you to edit your article while the original still stays live. Check it thoroughly, preview it, check the links and then resubmit. Your "old" article will then be replaced by the re-edited, re-submitted article within 2-3 days.

You can even take the "old" articles before you change them and submit to GOA or Articlesnatch for some serious backlinks. Change the title and resource box and voila! Done

Best of luck!




I can't help wondering whether you're necessarily doing the right thing in trying to do all this for 7 different niches at the same time. Might it not be more helpful to try with one or two of them first, until you find something which appears to work for you, which you can then quickly try to "rinse and repeat" without putting all this energy 7 times over into something whose outcome is still so uncertain at the moment?[/QUOTE]
