EZA vs. GoArticles.....What's the best bang for my buck?

I have a tightly-focused, niche CPA offer site based on a product name and I'd like to drive more traffic since it's converting very well. I thought I would have 15-20 articles created on the broader niche related keywords. Did my keyword research using MNF. I'm about to have my articles written, but how do I know whether I will be able to rank them high enough to bring in consistent, longer-term traffic? Also, which directory would give me the biggest traffic bang for my effort - EZA or GoArticles? Thanks.

    I get literally 20 times the traffic from EZA articles than I do from Go Articles. My experience is that the articles I write for EZA rank better in Google (without any backlinks) and that I get a better CTR from readers on Ezinearticles as well. Checking my traffic stats I get very few referrals from the articles I've sent to Go Articles.

    It's an apple and apple question if you are doing backlinking to the articles. If not, EZA is the hands down winner for authority and traffic.
    If you are doing SEO (backlinking) to increase SERP, your goarticles at #1 spot will get a ton of traffic as well, obviously. The difference between the 2 for me is that goarticles allows raw affiliate links throughout the article, whereas EZA only allows a top level domain, and only 1 or 2 links within the article body (below the fold)

    I have split test both before and found that they perform identically in CTR and sales - once they are both in top spots in the serps.

      If this is true, then it seems to me that Go Articles would be best for SEO, since we have more freedom with linking and don't have to send the article through the approval process like EZA.

      EZA will give more traffic from that directory, but it's not always very targeted traffic, it's just from people browsing the directory when your article goes live-unless you can get your EZA article in the top 15 most read or published in your targeted category.

    I like the quickness of GoArticles since a staff doesn't have to approve it. I have a couple clients and I need the articles out right away. However, I think EZA will boost your site a little more in the SERPs.

    Ezine is the best because of the way the webpages are arranged.The recent articles section is going to bring you traffic for at least 2 days.This is not the case with other article directories.But if you do not want to wait too long for approval you may try goarticles.But i recommend ezine .
