Advice on article marketing .. which approach?

6 replies
If for example, I had one article on ezinearticles to promote a certain website. Then I go and create several other articles, is it better to use these new articles to promote my website directly or promote the single article in ezinearticles (which also promotes my website)? THanks for your help ..

Approach 1

(ezine)
article1 -> website

(blogs etc)
article2 -> website
article3 -> website
article4 -> website
article5 -> website

Approach 2

(ezine)
article1 -> website

(blogs etc) (ezine)
article2 -> article1 -> website
article3 -> article1 -> website
article4 -> article1 -> website
article5 -> article1 -> website

    I agree that in order to get an Ezine Article to rise in the serps it will need backlinks. However, the answer to me is quite simple!

    You are basically asking - should i write articles and promote my own website or should i write articles and promote someone else's website (ezinearticles.com)?

    Make sense?

    Your fresh, unique articles, should either always go on your own website or towards promoting your own website. If you really want to get backlinks to your EZ article, then try social bookmarking. Or once your articles have been approved at EZA, then submit the same articles to other article directories (goarticles, article dashboard, article alley, Searchwarp, Buzzle - will need to be original for buzzle, isnare, etc) and then link back to your ezine article.

    Leave comments on other relevant ezine articles linking back to your article. Or you can even check out the WSO section here for Angela and Paul's back-link services. Free for the first month and then $5 and $8 respectively. These backlink packages are proving to help pretty much any site/article/blog to the top of page one in google for any keyword phrase!

    The best method is to do the following:

    1 - Use your articles to promote your site

    2 - Use other sites to promote your articles and your site

    This equates to 1 + 1 = 3 which is what you are after.

      yep.. i agree. you should link those articles directly to your site as these are the one you would want to get rank drive traffic to your site. always make your own site just one click away from visitors. you try other techniques with building links like social bookmarking and rss submission.

    • Tim is THE MASTER of article marketing so I would heed his advice I've been following Tim for the past couple years and have applied many of his methods on article marketing with great success.

      I totally agree with Tim on this (surprise surprise). The main goal of writing articles should always be to promote your own websites.

    Use article marketing on EZ to promote your own website. That is the best way.
    If your articles very popular, you can bring many traffic to your own website with single article.
