ezine article marketing?

Of course it depend your article. If it is really, really good, people are going to share it, linking to it and so on. It will start to get more and more readers, which means you get more traffic. So, its not one time thing.

There are some great posts on this very forum regarding article marketing and they go into the ins and outs of how to fully understand Ezine and everything else.

Look at this thread here for some fantastic info from Alexa Smith: How to step by Step

Hope this helps

submitted one to them but 2 weeks for review? ugh... working on my own stuff and waiting on that to happen.

This thread isn't about submitting articles to the article directory called "Ezine Articles".

(Karl does actually specify in the first post that he isn't talking about the article directory.)

It's about article marketing in ezines (which is an outstanding way to get floods of non-SEO-dependent, high quality, highly targeted traffic) as illustrated in this post.

"Ezine articles" (directory) is called that because it's intended to be a directory of articles for ezines (and for websites, too, these days). An ezine is not an article directory. An ezine is an "electronic magazine", delivered by email to its targeted subscribers. Getting your articles included in one is one of the (very best) forms of "article marketing" (as opposed to article directory marketing).

For the most part, yes. Usually, most of the traffic comes in one big hit (though that can easily be spread over a few days). But you can repeat it with the next article you offer them.

You can also get some additional traffic from them, later, partly because many of them do have a copy archived online as well, which some people will find more slowly.

It really depends on the article. I have articles that I have written for them that dropped off the face of the earth it seems and these articles don't get any views.

But an article I wrote a few years ago still brings in over 1000 views a month, so in the end it really depends on how much Google likes that ezine article in my opinion.

Ahhh, I'm sorry Karl that I did not understand what you meant. I should have read this thread better. (insert Homer Simpson 'doh' picture here)

Ok, thanks for all the info, btw, do you think it´s worth getting "directory of ezines" that lists all ezines that except articles and other relevant info. I´m hesitating because the price tag is a bit high. Will I save time if I use It instead of google?

It really depends on how good your article is. If it's superrrr good, then you have a chance to probably be featured in the "featured article" section that I believe they still have.

You will get an initial boost from them when you first put them up, and hopefully they are good enough to catch on.

I will have to agree the the DOE is a good investment and Charlie is for sure one of the good guys. He has a ton of information in the DOE and you can also consult with him for free if you are a DOE lifetime member.

As long as your article is useful and provides value, as well as SEO value, then your article will always get traffic over time, until you delete it (if you chose to).

But you can then take that article and submit it to lower quality article directories for more links, if you wanted.

Your focus on Article Marketing should be all about building Authority, which in turn will provide you with more NATURAL links and traffic, as well as provide you with branding yourself.

Write more high quality articles and submit them to high quality article directories, which could include EzineArticles, if you see them as such. The goal would be to provide a lot of value in your content and to spread the wealth to different properties that can help you extend your reach.

But if you're just looking for links, then I guess you could just submit 1 article to each directory, although it's not as useful if you wanted to build authority in your niche.

My understanding was that after the Big G updates, ezine was affected badly. My friend suffered as a result of these updates and had severe implications on the traffic flowing from ezines. Ezines is not the same wild animal it used to be. This is what I have read whilst I've been learning about IM.

Btw, Alexa you rock! Wow Beauty, Brains and 15265 posts. What's your secret? I might need all 3 of those things, especially the post count.
