Hello,

I would love to start a really healthy discussion on this topic. Deceptively simple but loaded question.

How effectively does ezine article marketing pass link juice to your blogs/sites? I ask because I was using the seo4firefox plugin to check the PR of multiple articles for many of the most productive authors on ezine and I would say that APPROXIMATELY 75% of the articles have "PR -" ; 15% have "PR 0" ; 7% have "PR 1" and 3% have "PR 2". It's confusing to me that article marketing is considered so effective yet the link juice passed cannot be meaningful based on those numbers.

Any advice on how the articles are passing juice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

    I have no idea about EZA article marketing passing link juice to my blogs, just because I am not familiar with it.
    Although several days ago, I used EZA for article marketing, it need time to do a detailed research to find the real result.

    The more qualitative article you have, the more juice you can expect from your article. What you need to have a quality article.

    If you make a quality article in Ezine, you should also promote it. This will increase the traffic to the article, as well as your websites.

      A higher quality article on EZA has nothing to do with PR.
      PR is really all about backlinks.
      You need to understand how EZA works. Just
      having an article on EZA does not mean the PR of
      every article is going to be the same or even raised.
      You want people to republish your article. The more
      people publish it, the better. Hence, higher PR.
      Now one could argue that a higher quality article
      leads to more republishing which leads to higher
      PR. Maybe.

      But since EZA has a gazillion articles, most articles on
      EZA are going to have a PR-N/A. There are a few
      technical details I'm not mentioning either as to why.

      Your goal for EZA articles is to get republished and
      republished a lot, or get traffic from the resource box.

      If you think you are going to get the PR juiced passed
      from EZA to an article you have on EZA, it just does
      not work that way.

      Here's a good example. This thread will appear in SERPS,
      but have PR-N/A even though warriorforum has PR. And
      it will probably never have PR. But the sig links do get
      a little PR passed on. Similar to EZA.

    Pr - or 0 from an Authority Domain can provide more / better juice than a PR2 on a non-authority site. The Value is the the Authority of EZA, getting links to your articles also helps the juice when if the article pages can actually get PR.

    One point I've noticed about EZA is that there is one factor which affects PR of articles in a more profound way then # of times published: comments.

    On a couple of my articles I've received a comment or two, those articles have PR 3 after only 60 days or so. Even my older articles that have been published more often don't carry the same weight.

      Firstly, Thanks for all the replies.

      Now, let me see if I understand correctly. A backlink to my site from my PR - article on EZA does pass juice, but the juice comes from the EZA domain authority itself, not the article/page. But a PR 0 or 1 article will pass juice to my site BOTH from the article page AND the authority/PR of the domain itself?

      Secondly, I was reading about duplicating your articles, publishing them on go articles, article base, etc., and then pointing the first link to your site, and the second link to either your original EZA article or to your author profile page. Which is better?

      Thanks for your replies

        I am in the middle of testing this....I have done this in a variety of ways.. i have linked through this method.. I have put a bit of a different spin on it but I am getting very erratic results....

        The first time I tried a similar method i got a number 1 ranking for my keyword phrase but within a couple of days i have been bouncing around all over the place...

        I hope to put together thread here when I get the results so then I can pass on the right information and get everyone on the right path...

        Holy sh-...I never though about that....but the question is, does it work at the first place?

        Nowadays, I am lost when come to building link. I have been writing a lot of low quality articles and submit it all around the article directories but I don't see much result from it as the traffic that it brought are less than 10 visitors per day.

        I am seriously consider to write a quality article but I afraid that it would still be considered as one backlink in the end as you know, writing a quality article is not an easy task and it take a lot of effort and time...at least for me.

          It depends what your objective is, if you are after highly competitive keywords then using article directories for backlinks will be a slow process.

          On the other hand if you going for "low hanging fruit" you can rank them highly without much backlinking at all, in many cases if you use a high PR directory like EZA you can rank it with no backlinks.

          It all boils down to the keywords you choose. The trade off is, more volume of articles for "low hanging fruit" or more of an aggressive link building campaign for more competitive keywords.

          If you are looking for "direct traffic", as you did mention 10 visitors above, then EZA is great for that, but again you need the right keyword, in the right niche, with the right headline to capture the traffic.

          A lot to consider, but worth sticking with it to get the results.

    I am an Ezine platinum article. I can get up to 20 first page listings from Google (that go to EZA) for my longtail keywords with just one article.

    Here is how it is done. I use the PR of EZA, plus the keyword pumping of headlines (70-80 characters) and first 250 characters of content. DO NOT follow their suggestions.

    Never use "how to" or "the 7 best ways" to start. Try something like this:

    Killer Headlines Sell: Kill Your Competition With Killing Headliners

    No word was used twice, write the next 200-250 words almost the same. Remember kill, killing, killer, was are different words like headline, headliner, headlining are. AFTER this part spin your article with whatever you have containing the words headline and killer (or insert) Make the last sentence almost a duplicate of your headline.

    EZA uses you, now start using them.
