Articles Base - Click Through Rate

7 replies
Hello,

I am wondering how successful you are with article marketing on Articles Base?

I have pretty much the same article (not the same but same topic in the same niche) on ezine articles and on articles base. The CTR I am getting on ezine articles is about 20% and it is 0% on Articles Base.

My guess is that the resource box is kind of detached from the main article. When the reader gets to the end of the article he does not see the resource box but rather some ads. He needs to scroll down a little bit more to see the resource box. It is why I think that I am getting no CTR on those articles!

Has anyone experienced this problem?
Does Articles Base allows links in the main article body?

Thanks,
Dinko

    Yes, they do, but:

    You may include up to 3 hyperlinks in an article (all anchor text links have the 'nofollow' tag).
    You may include up to 3 hyperlinks in your Author Bio (all anchor text links have the 'nofollow' tag).
    With regard to your main question:

    I don't have personal stats on CTR, but I analysed several articles and the Bio box is indeed too far away form the body, which of course may affect CTR. On the other hand, it may to do with the readership - ezine is full of promotional hype, whereas Articlebase seems more knowledge-oriented.

        Your stats (views, CTR, what have you...) will not be the same for all places where your articles appear whether that be your own site, an article directory or through a posting as a guest on another blog.

        I've had articles do really well on EZA and not do crap anywhere else. I've had article do nothing on EZA and take off on AB or AD or any one of the other article directories. I've also had articles that don't do squat anywhere else but pull tons of traffic from my own site or blog. It could have something to do with which site gets the article indexed first or just luck of the draw.

    Eza was more known for qualified traffic and now Eza itself is trying to qualify with others - since the game changed. All the no follow directories are coming popular on Google.

      I don't often get clickthroughs from them but my articles get syndicated more from there than any other directory.

    Hi Dinko,

    In response to your questions,

    I have been successful with ArticlesBase.com.

    Here is why ArticlesBase.com rocks:

    Syndication
    Its syndication capability can compete with EzineArticles.com's. In fact, many people have been saying it's so much easier to get syndicated at AB. From what I have experienced, this is true as well.

    Take it from me as an author who has over 600+ articles at EZA.

    Links
    AB allows you to put 4 links (all are no-follow), 2 in the body itself and another 2 in the resource box.

    The way I do it, I only put the 2 links into the article body for maximum visibility.

    The resource box takes care of the author credibility.

    CTR
    I do measure the number of clicks for the 2 links in my article body.

    I just checked my CTR for one of my highest views articles. It's 46%.

    All of these after the Farmer update, not before.

    Hope that helps.
