It makes absolutely no difference, Colin, from EZA's perspective.

Article directories (including EZA) don't require previously unpublished content.

You can submit to as many or as few other directories as you like, and in any order you like.

Personally, I happen to submit all mine to EZA last.

(You do need to publish them everywhere you publish them under the same name/pen-name, of course - otherwise people will wonder if they're "stolen content"!).

None of this matters very much. What matters is to publish it first on your own site and have it indexed there by Google before you submit it anywhere else at all. http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...eza-first.html

I write the best articles for my site. Then I write link bait and submit it to eza and others. Just get those links out there. I don't do any direct selling with eza traffic, but I know that some people do.

Thanks

Should we spin the articles before submitting to different directories?

Thanks

  I think Paul needs to make the 'Search' button in top bar big & bold ... maybe even with some animated arrows pointing to it.

  I think this is the 100th thread for this question. At least.

  That's true! But I love reading these threads on article syndication. I never knew the concept existed before I joined WF a month ago, and every time I read one of the threads dealing with the topic, I learn something new.

Ezine takes so long to approve... you can submit to as many as you like all at once. Also, you can convert your article to a pdf and add it to Scribd and Docstoc for a bit more exposure (and Slideshare as a pdf or a ppt presentation).

Thanks

I think spinning article is not a good method now.So,submit on one directory only.

Thanks

Thank you all for this advice. I recently submitted an article to EZA and I am waiting for approval. I think I will go submit the article to a few other databases for more exposure. This is something that is nice when you learn it.

Learning is what WF is all about.

Don't worry about how long Ezine Articles takes to approve articles. This has nothing to do with how successful your business will be.

If you submit an article there every day, they'll still be publishing 30 of your articles each month. It doesn't matter in the slightest whether they take 7 hours or 7 days each to publish them.

The reality is that authors in good standing who submit regularly get very fast service.

I just checked my ezine articles. Although I am on the first page for the keywords on Google... I only have 17 views on the actual articles. Am I supposed to be doing anything else?

Thanks

Yes ... attract your organic traffic to your site, not to EZA's site. :rolleyes:

Article directories definitely have their uses. Ranking their pages on Google and losing most of your traffic that way is not one of them.

This little thread will help you a lot, I think. http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ries-work.html

This much longer, older one might, too, when you have plenty of reading time available: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...eza-first.html

Absolutely

Ezine articles dont like it when theres is not the original and will often refuse the article if it is already ranked on google.

Sorry, but this is just completely wrong - it's pure fiction: one of the "urban myths" of internet marketing.

Article directories (including EZA) do not require previously unpublished content.

It makes absolutely no difference whatsoever to them where it "ranks on Google". It's simply not relevant in any way. (Why on Earth would it be?!).

All my 1,600+ articles in EZA had been published in various other places (some of them in many other places, some already ranking highly on Google), in identical form, prior to being submitted there.

EZA themselves specifically invite their authors to submit previously published articles (provided they're long enough and comply with the editorial guidelines, obviously). It says so openly on their site, in their blog, in the introductory emails they send out to new authors, in their article marketing course, and so on.

There are 100+ threads here discussing and clarifying this point, many of them with links to EZA's site, blog and so on. This one will start your collection, if you like.

Yeah I've published 3 articles on ezine that have already been published with no problems.

Thanks Alexa for the link - the first one answered my question. I guess all I need to do is just submit and let it be!

Thanks

If your articles are spun to a good level, meaning each of them will be treated as a different article, then it doesn't matter where you post your article first to. That being said, if you submit the exact same article everywhere, I would submit it to EZA first, wait for them to approve it, get it indexed and then blast it around without limitation

The reason is, links from EZA are definitely the most powerful article links you can garner and you don't want to mislead the search engines to thinking the article comes from a different source and that it's only been copied over to EZA, which would decrease the value of the links or even cause them not to get indexed at all. In addition, if the EZA approvers, as I call them, find out your article has been published elsewhere, they may reject it.

Thanks

Step 1 - How many people are actually searching on those exact keywords? Related keywords?

Step 2 - Who is your competition on page 1, and how do their titles/descriptions compare to yours?

Getting on page 1 is only the first step, not the holy grail SEO types make it out to be. You also have to get the human doing the searching to see your listing as a possible answer to the question he really wants answered.

In my digital wandering, I've seen tons of search listings on page 1 where I've simply passed right on by because the title/description was obviously crafted to woo spiders, not people.

Where do I start?

If you have the skill to spin articles in such a way that I can't tell the original from the variants, and the quality is up to par on each, more power to you. From observation, though, 90%+ of people spinning articles are not capable of that level of performance.

Why would you give the initial indexation to a directory? Any directory? They ostensibly exist to connect publishers and authors, but they make their money funneling their traffic into avenues that serve them - like diverting that traffic to an Adsense block or other ad. People will brag about getting 25-40% click throughs from their EZA articles. All that means is that 60-75% of their traffic goes somewhere else. On the other hand, if those same people come to your site directly, you get to make your case to ~100%.

Even most SEO types will agree that the most powerful link you will get for an article published off of your own site is one on a relevant site with its own authority and link juice. Directories are hardly authority sites, articles published there start on brand-new PR0 pages and what little juice flows from them is diluted by the sheer number of links you find on those pages - again, most of which will be designed to serve the directory's interests, not yours.

The rest of your post is, no offense intended, hogwash. In the 6+ years I've been publishing articles on EZA, the only time I've ever had a problem with previously published content is when I've mixed up a pen name and they couldn't determine the 'real' author. Once cleared up, the articles got accepted.
