Ezinearticle Backlinks

I have a few unique articles that I have no use for. I am planning to submit them to ezinearticles so I can get a few backlinks. The issue is, the sites that they will backlink to are not at all relevant to the article.

Any issues with this approach? Terry Kyle, Angela and others said it does not matter, for e.g. most of the backlink profiles placed on High PR forums are not relevant at all.

Interested to hear what you guys think?

    Well, it is for google to decide
    But for me (pesonally) i believe backlink is a backlink, albeit it might be with a little less relevance than those with content of same niche around the backlink, go ahead and do it.

    Thanks for your quick reply. I will submit them, I am thinking of including some relevant keywords in the resource box since I cant do it in the article anyway.

    Maybe it's not such a good idea, I think your links will be useless without appropriate anchor text.

    Marko the anchor text will be there I will be linking in the resource box. Lets say the article is about cars and I want a link back to my toys site also. So in the resource box I will mention apart from my toys site I also run a site on cars - cars is my target anchor text

      Sam,

      From an SEO perspective it is fine, your links don't have to be from relevant pages.

      However, you might have a problem getting them accepted at EzineArticles if they link to an irrelevant site.

        I don't think that it is an issue at all. I have >100 outsourced articles on EZA, all linking to 100% irrelevant sites/pages, and I never once had an issue. For instance, an article on home gardening pointing to an IM site.

          That's strange. I remember having an article rejected for the very reason I mentioned above.

          With that said, though, I haven't written or submitted an article in 6+ months so what would I know!?

    relevancy matter but not as much that you should worry in getting link.

    Perhaps relevance isn't important now, at least according to some respected people in here. However, will this always be the case? If you ran Google in what ways would you be trying to improve your index? What would you do to your algos to improve the SERPs?

    It's not always about now with SEO IMHO, it's about where it's going or where it might go. The link based algo is being spammed to death, the guys at the Plex must be working on this.

    Based on my experience,Google gives a high evaluation to ezinearticle. If you can get backlinks from ezinearticle trans, it is very good.

    You can get the valuable back links from ezinearticles. The articles are reviewed by ezine team before submission. They accept only the quality articles thats why google gives more evaluation to ezinearticles.

      Guys, lots of people here (including myself) regularly link to totally unrelated websites in unrelated niches from our articles.

      EzineArticles calls it a Bio box. That is a biography box; not a related links box or resource box - which I'm sure they'd call it if they only wanted you to link out to related websites.

      Only one or two EzineArticles articles of mine link to related websites; the rest are unrelated. Out of around 100+ articles I've submitted, I've never had a single one rejected nor even so much as been asked for it to be revised.

    Thanks DireStraits, that makes a lot of sense. I submitted yesterday, hoping there would not be any issue.

    A backlink is a backlink, it's really that plain and simple, the only difference you should see, the traffic you'll get from the resource box, won't be targeted and probably will have a high bounce rate.
