Yes, it does, but only for "passive syndication" purposes (the reason for which it really exists, of course).

You can get some traffic from it, maybe, but "at the expense of your own site", and since all those Panda updates decimated the SEO potential of article directories, that's really not a good way to use it. For traffic, you're far better off getting it straight to your own site, and not losing a percentage (maybe a very big percentage) of that traffic in the process.

All explained in this thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/main-int...ml#post5068872

Specifically, for all the reasons explained in this post, no article marketer nowadays would want to try to use EZA as a traffic-source in its own right (which was never its intended purpose anyway, to be fair).

Article directory marketing (i.e. trying to generate potential customer traffic via an article directory) has become a hopeless cause. Article marketing itself, of course, is a different matter altogether (and it's true that EZA can sensibly be used - in a very different way - as a small, afterthought, part of that).

Far from worthless for their intended purpose. But for "getting potential customer traffic" they're semi-worthless or even completely worthless, and actually in the long run even counter-productive. So they're good for some marketers, useless or even damaging to others. Like so many things in IM, it all depends on what you're trying to use it for, and how you go about it. That thread I linked to just above explains a lot more, and answers a lot of subsidiary questions.

It's a widely misunderstood subject. Beware of people saying "article marketing doesn't work any more" (there are many of them, especially in forums!): they're invariably referring to "article directory marketing" (but calling it "article marketing" by mistake, not quite appreciating the difference between the two), and they're all actually quite right that that doesn't work any more.

Is Ezinearticles worth giving a shot? You can try it but personally, I think it's losing its charm day after day and while it's trying to regain its power by way of providing quality articles, it doesn't seem to me like their efforts are working. It's best to just come up with your unique article and post it to your website.

the traffic is very low now but u still use it.

It was very useful for the traffic purpose in the past. The response is not that bad at all now but it still have some value.

You really need to write unique article there. It is quite difficult to get the approval

I know I personally ignore Ezine Articles when they come up in searches, but then I'm an affiliate marketer and know too much

I'm not sure how Google looks on your domain(s) when it sees your site in places like that, but if it doesn't hurt you at least get links for your domains
