I have one question about creating backlink for the site using EnzineArticle
I think that EzineArticles is a high PR so it is a good place to put your articles with backlinks to your blog, website.etc
Two days ago I contact one clickbank product owner via email to ask him question about using EnzineArticle, how good would be backlink for my site if I create article with good quality content that offer good value to the readers, and post to EnzineArticle how much that would be helpful for good website Backlink...
Next day I receive reply from him about my question, he told me the best way to get good backlink to your site is to take advantage of links from high Page Rank sites then contact owner to exchange link with or simply go on eBay and purchase link for about $250 to up, and the think that he told me about using article for backlink he said using article directory such as EnzineArticles, Squidoo Hubpages is total waste of time because now days getting backlink from articles do not count much and Google today doesn't pay much attention for articles backlinks that point to your site....
Does anyone Agree with that....is the using article marketing to generate Backlink to your site just waste of time...?
Any comment I would Appreciate it

    Why will I be purchasing backlinks for $250 and above when there are so many WSOs here on the warrior forum that are not half as expensive as that?

    Also, people over rate backlinks. They are good but in my opinion, if ezinearticles or any other directory is bringing me backlinks then I will want to put more focus on them.

    After all backlinks are being built just because of traffic and why not double my effort with a site that has already been doing the job backlinks would do?

      I just did a quick link check for several of my domains and Ezine Articles
      appears on page 1 for all of those domains out of thousands of backlinks.

      So much for article directories being worthless for backlinks.

      Tell this person, whoever gave you this info, that he doesn't know what he's
      talking about.

    $250 per individual link? Good Lord, does their staff all work in Trump Tower clicking gold-plated mouse buttons for you?

      I don't think that dude's suggestion of requesting a link exchange is a good idea either. Maybe 7 or 8 years ago it would have been.

    $250 for backlinks, I think an average new person in affiliate marketing won't have just much money to buy and what is the guarantee that if I buy that backlinks for $250 and my website will get ranked in number 1.

    You are writing article for new reason, the most important reason for writing articles for article directories is because that you can also get targeted traffic from articles directories as well as you can get quality backlinks to rank.

    And the person said that you also need relevant backlinks so Google will understand you are maintaining your relevance which is very good. So what you have to do start exchanging links for high page ranks relevant website, it will help you in ranking.

    I hope you will understand the difference and article directories are not waste of time, $250 is too much.

    Thanks

    this is quite a funny thread...

    I have been using Lynn Terry's backlinking system and it is working wonders and it is sooo simple!

    I still submit articles and they do very well for me but i still believe that building a site with good content and getting backlinks is the best way to get good SEO rankings

    eZineArticles is a great place for back-links but submitting a ton of articles all back-linking to the same page doesn't get you much more link juice than just a few. (It will, however, get you more traffic.)

        If done correctly, google will love you, if done wrong - No Google Love!!

        Google is smart - do not try to trick it - he will crush you!! LOL!!

        Of course backlinking works, why do you think someone can charge money for them (like the $250 you quoted) and get it - because it works.

        You are confusing 2 things here - the backlink in and off itself is not the key to the high google ranking, the article - keyword - linked to website all have to make sense, you cannot just get a backlink on a keyword like pets and direct them to an Internet Marketing site and expect a high google ranking.

        Do a little research.

          The CB Vendor probably also owns the site where he wanted you to drop 250 bucks.

            And remember, it's not just the backlinks. A good EzineArticle can often get a high page one ranking itself in G for the target KWP.

    I think the vendor needs to update the information they give their affiliates.

    Amazing how quick it was for them to suggest you shell out $250 for backlinks, not all of their affiliates are going to have that kind of money. Not the best advice.

    Articles are still great traffic generators, save your money and put a little elbow grease into it and get free quality traffic, save your $250.

    Whatever, Ezine's can work great for backlinks as well as getting backlinks from other good sources. It is thee, or one of the highest quality article directories that is dofollow.

    It is true that a one way dofollow high PR link from a relevant site is more powerful than a Ezine backlink, but I ain't forkin out no $100's for a dofollow link from one high PR site.

    Not only that, you get back-links from each article and you get the traffic from the article as well.

    Here's TWO More good Dofollow article directories for you to use too - "Isnare" and "goarticles". Just in case you didn't know about them.

    Squidoo and Hug Pages can rank well. I believe they have both lost some authority with their Google Juice over the past couple of years, but they still are good if you get them ranked decently.

    FYI: HubPages is only dofollow if your overall hub score is at least 75 or higher, if not, then all your articles are nofollow.

    good luck!

    The vendor is definitely trying to mislead you. Publishing articles to article directories like Ezinearticles.com is still a very popular link building method. Keep building links from good resources and let Google decide which is worth what.
