Is Ezine Articles Good For Traffic?

13 years ago

Yes. Ezines are a good way to generate traffic. If you keep writing quality posts, you will get more views. Some of the top marketers or writers are using Ezines for a reason!

It depends.

The question (and the question you should be asking yourself, and thinking about yourself, in this context) is: "will my site get more traffic by having those articles on my own site, or by having them on EZA linking to my own site, or both ... and why?"

And if it's a question you want to think about seriously, and I hope you do, then a long, careful read through the chat and backchat in this fine thread will help you to do exactly that.

This is true. But be aware that that reason typically ISN'T primarily about "getting traffic from EZA" and it typically ISN'T primarily about "getting backlinks from EZA" either. Both of those are possible and beneficial outcomes ("side-benefits", if you like), but to the top marketers/writers they're not what article marketing is about, at all.

The thread, as ever when this subject arises, is full of personal impression, some of it half-true but for different reasons from those offered (where any are offered), and much of it misguided.

The key posts above are the two from Richard Van, both of which are probably destined to be largely ignored as increasing numbers of posters glance at the title and OP and add their own quick impressions on to the end of the thread, as ever.

Quality content in itself cannot guarantee you views. You need to do keyword research with quality content to have the best results for your article marketing campaigns. There are plenty of high quality articles in ezine articles which hardly have any views.

Other important factors include a catchy title and a good resource box.

Because they are clever!

They probably won't count visitors that don't spend at least a few minutes on the page, if they suddenly see 1000 quick views then they'll probably discount them.

Actually, that's not true. It's a backlink yes but not necessarily a quality one.

EZA's homepage is PR6, not the page your article is on. Go to Google's PR checker and look at the home page, then pick an article and enter the URL of that page. You'll see what I mean.

Pagerank is exactly that, the rank of a page. If it was the rank of the whole site, it'd be called siterank, or something similar.

This is the reason I don't mass submit my articles to every directory and prefer them being syndicated by high authority content relevant sites in my own niches.

I didn't know that, either way, it still just refers to the rank of a page and not the entire site.

Mark ... I know that one or two Google employees (one in particular) have made this comment about Larry Page lending his name to "Page rank" in some light-hearted internet conversations, and it's now become enormously overblown to the extent that some people seriously believe that this is why "Page rank" was called "Page rank", and have written plenty about it, and it's even found its way into some books now, but that "theory" was started as a joke. Honestly. It's just the "rank of pages".

You need to read the thread instead of just commenting.

Does your article get on the front page of EZA? No it doesn't.

EZA's homepage is PR6, not the rest of the site. Just because a site is PR6 doesn't mean the entire website is PR6, just a page on it, hence the term "Page Rank" and not "site rank". Go and get the URL of a page your article is on and check the PR with Google's PR checker.

To say an article on EZA gives you a "high quality" backlink is nonsense. I would have thought, as an SEO wizard, you'd have known that.

It can be good for traffic, I write articles for a full time living and many of my clients post them on ezinearticles, but the main thing they are after is the backlink. To get big results in a competitive field you will need to be looking at around 500 articles or more. A lot of work but it can pull you from page three to number 3 on Google. I currently do 150 articles every month on just one subject for one client each month, they like the work so it must work for them!

I'll let you decide what you like to do...

Option 1: 1,000 articles on Ezinearticles for some traffic and increased rankings on your website.

Option 2: 1 article on the busiest blog in your niche. 1 article published in the biggest newsletter in your niche. 10 guest posts to prominent blogs in your niche. All of them linked to your squeeze page to create a targeted list in your niche.

Which of the two options above would you prefer doing from a "work" standpoint? Which of the two options will create the highest profits for you? Which option has the potential to get you the highest PR incoming links?

I'm not against writing in quantity, but you must consider your purpose first. What are you wishing to achieve; creating an identity in your niche which allows you to lead, or just drive traffic to a sales page? Which one do you think is most profitable?

As you can see, I have no answers....just questions...

I assume you meant EZA and not ezines in general from the context in your OP and this thread. For reasons cited, EZA and other article directories exclusively may not neccessarily be the best use of your articles. Posting on your own site/blog and/or syndication of your articles will achieve quicker and more targeted results than mass production for specious backlinks. It depends on your business model, but I much prefer writing perhaps less in quantity and more in quality articles of 700-1,300 words and submitting them to targeted ezines or website owners directly.

Yes! I tried many article directories but decided to stay with EZA. They offer me constant traffic daily. They also offer high PR one way link back to my site.

If you like to write quality original content then it is the place for you. If you are looking for short cuts and are hoping on spinning duplicate content, they may not be the best choice.

If you do decide on EZA, make sure to read the terms of service and other conditions. Also follow, read, listen and view all tutorials.

How do you get a high-PR link back to your site from EZA, Rory? All my 1,000+ articles there go on PR-0 pages, like everyone else's. Might you possibly be confused with the PR of their own home-page (PR-6, I think)? Have you actually read this thread before replying to it (posts #9 and #17 above might interest you)?

Hi Player,

Duplicate content is when you have the same stuff on one site more than once. Not across other sites.

You want to have the article on your blog and indexed first, then you submit to EZA and any other you so choose.

That's not duplicate content. In fact Ezine articles not only recommend you do this, they even have a fancy little plugin that can do this all for you. In fact it's safe to say, if what you thought was duplicate content was true, there wouldn't be any article directories.

What you're suffering confusion from is a common myth in article marketing and is a well worn out excuse for owners of spinning software to sell you their stuff, when you don't actually need it.

Originally Posted by Ernie Lonardo

Listen up. You want targeted BUYING traffic.

Visit this site: Google keyword tool

Google.

Find a niche you want to get into (note anything from 100 searches is worth talking about)

To get traffic all you need to do is write articles which container the keywords that are getting searched. Add them to your article title and a few times inside the article body.

Submit them to your blog, site whatever. Then once you can find the page in google (by pasting the URL into the search box) then go over to www.ezinearticles.com and submit the same article their.

Keep writing articles and overtime yes a few weeks you WILL see traffic coming in.

But don't stop. Keep writing new articles and give the search engines time to fall in love with your site.

I have 1 site I havent touched since August and the traffic and income has basically doubled!

Please give this method a shot. If you want to make your first dollar (and a lot more) I "almost" guarantee this will work for you.

It is and Ernie is a respected Warrior too.

I do something similar, especially when it comes to submitting to my site first and then EZA etc. I do however mainly go in for syndication by finding authority sites in my niches, contacting them and getting my articles published on their sites with a link back to my money site.

These sites are very targetted and everyone that goes there wants to read about and get knowledge on what I have to say. The backlink is far better too.

Remember, EZA has a PR of 6. This is the homepage, not the page your article will sit on. It's a common mistake in this game that people think because the site has a high PR, that means you benefit but your article will never be on the homepage and will instead sit on a PR0 page. Which is worth way less than my article on the authority site.

It's pretty impossible to say to be honest, very much depends on the niche.

If you mean by syndication it can be huge, especially in the right niche.

You've heard the expression, "find a hungry crowd" well, a lot of that crowd will visit authority sites in the niche they're interested in, more so, than they will read EZA articles or cruise article directories.

Find a Warrior called TPW (Bill Platt) he has a link in his signature that gives you a free 120 odd page book on how to best go about article syndication. It's very good indeed.

I see what you mean. That is great advise.

Wouldn't these big authority sites advertise products the exact same products? Or Shouldn't I contact these authority sites?

I tend to be pickier now and look at the authority sites to see what they're doing and if they're selling things. I tend to steer clear of blatant selling sites and target more "enthusiast" style sites. I'm also upfront and honest and tell them what I do and how I do it. Some of my sites sell my own products so I offer to split the proceeds (this works very well).

If the content is good and it does have to be very good, these sites will like what you've done and it's content they haven't had to write or pay for.

If the content is good and it does have to be very good, these sites will like what you've done and it's content they haven't had to write or pay for.

Thank you very much for your time. I greatly appreciate it.

I will start writiting tonight.

Please stick with quality articles, as opposed to quantity. Also, don't dismiss the benefits of good keyword research. A lot of people like Ezines for backlinks and getting traffic to a website.

Thanks

Let me put it this way for you. About 8 years ago I started my first Adsense site and all I did was submit my articles to my own website then to EZA linking back to my site. I put up about 150 for that site and I still get over 1,000 visitors to my site every month just from those 150 articles. Multiply that over 8 years and that is a nice chunk of traffic from something that took me a month to put up, working part time.

Something else to understand is that you will get more traffic when you first submit your article than you will after a couple of days. You might submit an article that brings you 50 visitors it's first day, then only a few each week. However, after a few days, weeks, or months if this article gets ranked on search engines it will bring you more traffic.

So the simple answer is YES, YES, and YES ezinearticles.com brings you traffic. It is one of my major sources for traffic and it has been partially responsible for me being able to quit my serving job and work full time as a writer.
