Question About EzineArticle Usage.

Is it taboo to write an article and post it on my website at the same time?
Would it be counter productive?
would it bring traffic to my site?
I wrote an article the other day and it ranks first in google, so I wondered if it would have an effect on seo for the site.
I do already put my link at the end of my articles.

just brainstorming!

Thanks

    I think it is better to write another different article and post it to ezinearticle. This would bring backlink and traffict to your site.

      Huh, really? EZA is really falling asleep on all those people that practice article syndication then. Or you're just completely wrong.

      It would be a huge favor all round (even including to yourself!) if you could only either learn the basic facts or stop offering advice on a subject about which your "information" is so wildly inaccurate and inappropriate.

      Clearly you don't understand what an article directory is, or how they work, at all. You have the whole thing completely wrong (exactly as has been so every other time you've tried to advise people about this or any related subject).

      I'm saying so in this unambiguous and outspoken way only because you do this every time you post on this or any related subject: you ignore (or perhaps don't even read) the responses from those who unlike yourself actually do this for a living, explaining to you that you're totally wrong, and you simply continue repeatedly to offer grotesquely misguided and entirely inaccurate advice which can help nobody.

      When I was about four my family went to the beach one day. We met my mom's brother and family. My cousin Joline told me to be careful of crabs because if one every got onto your toe it would stay there forever and I'd have to go through life with a crab attached to my toe. I still remember the horror of thinking what that would be like. I'm sure Joline got this false info online from someone who didn't really know much about the true nature of crabs.

      Just last month (50+ years after the fact) I found out the toe-crab thing wasn't true. Crabs actually try to avoid getting attached to things when possible. Man, all the anxiety I could have avoided if I'd gotten the right info in the first place.

      Right after I found out about the silly crab thing, I also found out that ezine articles doesn't care much about what you do with your own property.

      So be bold, post your ezine articles everywhere and go forward into life without fear of getting bad info on a message board. :rolleyes:

        The "funny" thing is that Ezine Articles even goes to the trouble of making available to its authors a special Wordpress plug-in to enable them to publish their articles on their own blogs/sites while simultaneously submitting them to Ezine Articles for approval and subsequent publication there. (I can't use it, myself, because I don't use Wordpress for my sites, and in any case I syndicate my articles widely to relevant ezines and webmasters before I submit them to EZA.)

        Hardly something they'd do, if they didn't want you publishing your EZA submissions elsewhere?!

        They also send out an introductory email series to all the new authors who opt in for it, in which they specifically invite you to submit your already-published blog posts there as articles (as long as they comply with the editorial guidelines, of course).

        As is true of hundreds of other people making a living from article marketing, every single article I've ever had published in Ezine Articles, in each of 8 different niches, over the last 4 years (and widely syndicated from there, to other sites, which is of course the purpose and function of an article directory), has previously been published on one of my own sites, and many of them in a number of other places, too.

          Talking of "urban myths" - when we moved to Southern California many years ago, the daughter of a neighbor told us in complete seriousness that a lake further up the 14 Freeway from where we were located had no bottom. It continued downward for ever. I tried to explain the impossibility of this, but she swore it was fact. Actually, she took the attitude of how could I possibly know any different, we'd only just moved there...

    I'd put it on my own site, get it indexed, then ezine it, but I know many would likely not agree with this approach, it is just what works for me

    it is a myth that you have to write separate articles for your blogs and ezine accounts.

    Read the above links...very good information...

    what thewrightwords said is the exact strategy you want to use. It works...it is powerful when you follow the simple strategy.

    Ezine.com does not care if it is duplicate content, as long as you wrote the content. Ezines are for people who own newsletters with large mailing lists...they want articles, and know they are not getting orginal articles. Thats why it is powerful...when they use your article and send it out to their list, with your links back to your site, it is like doing a mailing to lists you dont even own.

    Their are ezines looking for original content, but they are not visiting ezine.com.

    so

    1) post to your blog
    2) wait to get indexed
    3) then send to ezine publishers

    I would also try and use some other websites (let's say Tumblr) to produce backlinks so you get more traffic as well. if it doesn't work for you, try the other way around

    I am not going to give a professional answer, as I am not (just yet :-D ) a professional. But strictly from the point of view of a simple reader. When I look up for information on Google, I would like to get as much as I can about the subject. So, if Google sends me to a link that has the same content as I have read before...that tends to annoy me a little bit.
    I would write different articles, without repeating the information.
