Is there any benefit in writing for Ezine Articles in 2017?

I still many marketers doing articles with Ezine and also still getting some good traffic from them. I think the key probably is quality. Good quality articles help readers to resolve a specific issue or educate reader on a good topic, that is still a good thing and it provides good values to users.

I'm sure there is a little bit of traffic to Ezine, but nothing to write home about. I'm also sure that there is no SEO benefit to placing links in articles there. If nothing else, you might get some affiliate commission from articles you place on EZine.

Hi eplanellas,

Search engines do not index and rank websites, they index and rank individual web pages. So forget about trying to use a website's "authority" to rank your own web pages. Search engines like Google have never recognized the notion of "website authority", that's just an imaginary construct that a handful of web service companies dreamed up and promoted to sell services.

Google did introduce ranking factors that would prevent networks like ezinearticles from abusing the pagerank algorithm through internal link structures that promoted mostly redundant content. Those improved ranking factors, combined with a plague of content thieves that targeted Ezinearticles publishers, is what made Ezinearticles decline as the top place for publishing articles.

Ezinearticles as a website still gets an incredible amount of traffic, 2+ million visits per month. However that traffic is spread across close to a million pages. Many of the articles get virtually no views at all. Anything you publish there is likely to get scraped and republished without ever giving you credit as the source or including the requested author's link. So it might not be the idea place to publish new content.

Most content publishers have come to the realization that it is often better to publish on their own website, or to a thriving social community, rather than a place where content thieves hangout.

Google did a smackdown on ezine a few years back which is why ezine has nofollow links (useless).
