    EZA is not no-follow.

    Personally, I'd be very happy if they had decided to change that, when they thought about and discussed it last week (and it wouldn't have made the slightest difference to my using EZA), but they actually decided the opposite.

  • Just found this thread.

    If PR doesn't matter then why does everyone think EZA is the best article site for marketing? Surely people have seen good results.

    Also, I just looked at my latest article - the link in the body is no follow (was linked to my squidoo) and the one in the footer is do follow. Is this the way they do things now?

    I guess I will just check out the links that have been provided.

    • Ok. You don't seem to have read what Alexa has said above so I'll give you a little real life experiment to do.

      Google: "PR checker", then put the EZA homepage URL in there. You'll see it is PR 6 (or whatever), then, go and find the page one of your articles is on and put that URL into the PR checker - It's PR 0. PR does matter but that doesn't mean when you submit an article to a high PR directory you have a high PR backlink.

      The reason people say EZA is the best directory is because it's the most famous, most well known and there are a ton of misguided courses telling people they can get quality backlinks from them. Just because "most" people say something, doesn't mean "most" people have a clue what they're talking about.

      The other reason people, that do article marketing successfully, tell people it's the best place, is because of all the directories it's probably the most likely place to have your article syndicated on sites with interested readers, hence this snippet from EZA's very own terms of service...

      Also I'd have a look at EZA's TOS before you put self serving links in the body of your articles.

  • You sure their no follow now? I'm on my phone so I can't check - but I know they changed to no follow and so many people complained in a blog comment that they changed it back within 24 hours. They changes it back to no follow since then?

    I don't really use them either way but just wondering.

    • They are not no follow.

      You're a bit late I think

      The thread sort of gives it away really.

      That is not what happened.

      You are misinformed.

      What happened was that they raised the possibility, for 24 hours or so, that they might do, and then promptly announced that - having given it some thought - they weren't going to.

      They have never "changed" it. At all. At any time.

      Do you ever read the thread before replying? Just a question ... :confused:
