What happens to my ezinearticle articles?

Ezine articles rank very high in the Search engines, put in How to ???? (whatever) and you will usually see an article from about.com or an ezine article sitting at the top of the search results. Very valuable SEO strategy

You can check your status
# of articles submitted
How Many readers/clicks your articles has

This information is available within the ezine article interface.

Once your article is approved, it goes "LIVE" which means it is available for
others to read, download and provide you a live link and hopefully subscribers or buyers for your product.
I use/read ezine articles all the time to gather information, check my competition and uncover niches.

Since content really is KING on the Internet, you can use the articles on your blogs, website, squidoo lens etc. Many ezine owners use the articles that have valuable content tand will use your article in their ezine or post it on their site.

I have some articles that I wrote 5 years ago, that are still online and probably would results in sales, if the domain and website were still in existence.

When you submit an article to the article directories you have the intent of gaining opt-in subscribers and also valuable links to your primary site. As a result, of the linking, Google looks at your site as having valuable content and rewards you by allowing you to gain some "rank" in their listing. This is a simplistic overview but that is why we hammer out article after article.

In summary article marketing provides
*Inexpensive way to advertise/gain traffic to your programs/product
*Gain Links
*Gain subscribers
*Make Money

My EZA articles drive free targeted traffic to my affiliate marketing site.

I have seen some of my articles republished on other sites.

I always post my articles on Ezine first, then once they are accepted I rewrite them and post them to some of the other decent article directories (dashboard, goarticles, etc.).

Ezine is excellent for getting decent PR0 backlinks. If you check your Google account and look at what backlinks are going to your site, you should find all the ones going from the articles posted to Ezine. Google likes Ezine.

I have had quite a lot of my articles published, but then again I put quite a lot of work into them. Perhaps too much

Besides getting backlinks from articles it's a good idea to contact sites that are in the same niche as yours (e.g. Athletics forum site, and your site focuses on selling a certain type of sports shoe) and ask them if they could put a link to your site on theirs. Google loves these types of links, even if they are only PR0.

Hopefully you can understand what I am trying to say here. I had a bit of a heady one lasty night...<hic>... ouch, my poor head

My wife reads them and believe they are for real.

Jokes asides. Yes, some get high read volumes and traffic to your site.

I am just worried how this is going to change with the increased adsense on their site.

They do sometimes, if EZA articles show up as a result of their search-engine searches, yes. But for many of us the primary reason for wanting our articles to be in a directory of articles is for them to be found by people searching the directory for content for their websites, ezines and newsletters. Syndication, in other words.

I see many there.

How would you always know whether they're republished articles?

Many of my articles are taken from EZA and syndicated on high-PR, well-targeted authority sites, bringing me high quality backlinks, traffic, opt-ins and sales, because other people are effectively doing some of my off-page SEO for me, and helping me to grow my business, in exchange for the free "content" I'm offering. That's what I'm using EZA for - to bring me future traffic I can't so easily get on my own, from the subsequently syndicated copies of the articles. This is what article directories were originally set up for, and is where the real money is, in "article marketing". (Of course, all those articles have originally been published on my own sites and indexed there, prior to EZA submission. In the long run, it's my own sites I want to build up into authority sites, not EZA's site).
