Basic Ezinearticles question

INTERNET MARKETING

Hey guys and gals,

Nick here

Wanted to see if I understand the fundamentals of internet marketing specifically generating traffic from ezinearticles and article sites

I simply find a niche that I'm well versed in, something that I can pump out high quality article content....

Within the bio section I link to my website offering a free report with opt-in and I market to them later through my auto- responder emails?

My question is how many words is a good report?

Also does it increase opt ins to have a free report specifically on the topic my article is about or within the niche?

Also I understand I can target keywords with my articles for google

thanks everyone

Word-count in the freebie is irrelevant. If you were giving away an FBML template, there would be no words, but high value.

VALUE is what is important in the freebie. The number of words should be not one more (or less) than you need to get the point across.

Yes, having a freebie related to your niche is important. If I read your gardening article, and click for the freebie, it should NOT be about SEO but about gardening.

Write it, rewrite it, add to it, but don't spend too long on it or you'll never have it done.

Hi Nicholas

A bit of a big question.

Articles depend on how you are going to distribute them. Are you just going to add them to ezinearticles or are you going to use a distribution service.

I tend to write articles around 500 words and include my keywords 3 or 4 times throughout the article.

I then put my link to where I want my visitors to go in the resource box.

With my free report I create one around the niche of the site.

E.G: If your article is about How to use Pivot tables in Excel then I would do a free report on how to use Excel not around Pivot tables.

Hope this makes sense

Regards

  The advice here follows the methods I have used, except for the suggestion that 3-4 keywords in a 500 word article. I would follow these principles:
  
  1. 450-550 words is a good range. No more.
  
  2. Be inventive so you can get your keyword density up without being overly redundant. Only 4 uses of a key word/phrase in 500 words is a density of lest than 1%, and that's pretty light. 2%-3% density is considered optimal by many. Over that and you may be guilty of "key word spamming" and you want to avoid that.
  
  3. Make sure that your primary key word/phrase appears in your title.
  
  Thanks

Yes, you got the fundamentals right.

Publish the articles on your own site first, and get them indexed there first, before submitting them to EZA. Explained here in great detail.

It's more "quality of information/interest" than "how many words". One page is enough, if it makes them look forward to and want to open your emails. You're getting them on your list by sending them whatever "report" you send them: bear in mind that the purpose of the report (from your perspective) is to make them want to open and read your emails. As few or as many words as it takes to fulfil that purpose is the right answer!

Definitely. "Niche-relevant", at least. You won't get so many opting in without doing that.

Thanks

thanks alexa,

I understand niche related

I meant say I wrote an article about cooking a chicken would I do a specific report on that or a report on cooking which would relate to my niche as a whole.

For example, I submitted a huge batch of weight loss articles maybe a month or two ago and, despite choosing what I thought were great long tails, I got pretty much no traffic and no rankings - just a load of people ripping my article off (without the link back). In my view, going after massive niches is a waste of time on Ezinearticle. Just my experience, there could be others who have had no such problems at all.

I agree with Chris.

The niches in your sig-file have plenty of potential for article marketing, but not so much for article directories. In those ultra-competitive niches, you'll need to think well beyond directories.

In my opinion.

Thanks
