Website - EZA same article submission question

by eQuus

Many experts here say to publish an article on your website and then submit the same article to EZA, which then provides a link back to your website. My question is should I link back to the main page of my website or to the same article? If to the same article, wouldn't that be redundant to the reader, a turnoff?

    To the main page, or landing page, of your website - and (when 2 links are available) sometimes to any other inner page of page for which you want to do some off-page SEO. But mostly to your landing page.

    Definitely - a big turn-off and (for that reason) a big traffic-loser.

    You are right. If you publish an article on your site as on EZA, send your link form EZA to some other page on your site. It does not have to be your main page, just not a page with the same content on it.

    You are right in saying that this is a big turnoff to the reader.

    Hi,

    If you have a newsletter or something free to give away then you can put a link to that page in your article that you posted on EzineArticles. You don't have to point back to your home page but you definitely don't want to point to the article page.

    If you have a related page, that's a good choice to point one of your links to. You don't want the information to be too similar, just something that might also be of interest to the reader.

      I sometimes write at least 2 articles related. I strive for both articles to presell from different perspectives. Then I link each article to the other from EZA. With the second available link in EZA for each article, I link to the home page, or if possible, another related article.

      I've written multi-article series focussing on a single topic and then link from EZA to different articles in the series.

      Another method is a single preselling landing page (assuming you're doing affiliate marketing) to which I link to from several published EZA articles. Again, with the second available EZA link I try linking to another related article or simply to my home page.

    If the content/article is the same it would certainly turn off the traffic that clicks to your website. Try to link to a related article (with anchor text) and to your main site with a url.

    You should write many articles and post them to your website. Each article must be posted in a different page in order to attract search engine traffic. At your home page you must have original articles not submitted to any article directory. Write two or three articles especially for your home page, and post there also your various article’s links. When your visitors will click on your articles’ links, they will read your articles at your website, even though you will also submit the same articles to EZA.

    When you have an article collection, it won’t matter if one of the articles’ link at your website is the same article that your visitor read at EZA, and got to your website.

    Organize your articles’ links, separating your articles in various categories at your home page, helping your readers easily find what they care about. At the same time, you’ll do something different at your website, besides using the same articles you post to EZA, because you will organize them.

    When I was beginning online and I had only one website, this was what I did. I separated my articles in different categories at my home page, even though I submitted the same articles to EZA as well. So, my website visitors would find an article collection well organized in different categories when they will arrive at my site, even though all these articles could also be found at EZA.

      Only implement this strategy if your aim is to generate traffic via 3rd party websites. If your goal is to improve your organic rankings in Google you should NEVER share the content (on your website) with anyone else.
