You are absolutely right! If you don't have quality and related content your chance for ranking will be low.

Thanks for this,

Yes thank you, that is actually really good to know. I only got into this about 3 months ago, so the more I can learn the better.

And I really am not one to try and get to the top from sneaky methods. Lol I honestly don't think I am smart enough to do that anyhow.

So I will just keep trucking along adding content and getting backlinks by posting on forums and such.

I do have a question though. I have adsense on my site and I know that google has a habit of kicking people off the program sometimes for no reason it all it seems.

Would I be safe pinging new posts and pages I add to my site, or using automated backlinking tools?

I have been really cautious because I think I remember reading something in the TOS about those two things.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Hi Aduley

I have a small fleet of adsense sites and do no pinging at all. Although I can see no reason why Google would have a problem with this as long as your pages offer some real value and not just a bunch of junk.

I do get backlinks through article marketing (my best article cruises around 73% CTR) again as long as value is there do not think Google have a problem.

Although I am not a spokesman for Google ... so keep checking their blog and tos.

Any real Adsense experts reading this may offer a more qualified view. It is is probably worth asking your question in the Warrior Adsense forum as well.

Ahh yes very good point. I didn't think to post my question in that section, thank you.

Awesome on your CTR on that article btw. Guess I should get in gear and crank some more of them out. Is article writing something you sit down and do every day?

It seems to me that it is a fairly important aspect of internet marketing.

I am actually looking at google reader right now for ideas on posts for my site. It has to do with drum cymbals and it moved up to number four today for the broad phrase 'cymbal percussion' so that is cool, but traffic still trickling in.

But ugh I really need to redo the site and make it much more visually appealing.

Thanks

Article Marketing is one of my primary traffic sources .. that and SEO.

To be honest I am dazzled by all the fancy smancy techniques ppl use, mainly because I am not a techy.

But I get tons of free traffic just through EZA

A good way to prod yourself into inaction and uncertainty, into second guessing, into developing a serious case of paralysis by analysis, of stat-itis. I've found it more profitable to allow a bit of uncertainty or chaos into the process.

For example, one of my sites I started about a year ago was in a very tough niche but I didn't really fully analyze it before I bought and implemented it. Today, it's one of my top earners but if I had done a lot of 'proper keyword research' I wouldn't be making that money today.

No they don't. They reward statistical relevance of content, the strength of incoming link profiles plus their own bottom line. Go to sites that tend to dominate product niches such as thefind.com and nextag.com and see if you think a bunch of scrapped product listings is "quality content".

I'm not saying you shouldn't have good content. I'm only saying it doesn't really matter so far as ranking goes so don't be surprised and disappointed when your award worthy writing about a topic is surpassed in rankings by sites that have virtually no original content but have massive link authority.

An EZA article by itself won't but the real power from a good article comes from other people syndicating, with your link of course, it to their sites. So instead of just one link you have dozens of links that build automatically over time. If you keep priming the pump with a stream of new articles this will help even more.

However, this is another area where you can run into paralysis if not careful. Don't worry too much about the quality of specific links, just get them.

I have to disagree with you about a lot of your post reply.

1) Keyword Research - Suggesting that thorough Keyword research is somehow counterproductive does not make sense to me at all. I appreciate that it is possible to get overloaded but following a simple but effective method has got to be better than guessing! I also suggest that you must have some order in your chaos theory otherwise you would not be getting any traffic at all.

2) I never said quality content is the only way to get traffic. However for me it has proved to be a long term and therefore sustainable source.

3) I agree with you about getting traffic from articles published but still enjoy a huge amount of traffic redirected through my links on EZA

1. Keyword Research:

There's a difference between "thorough keyword research" and research in lieu of doing anything. Sometimes 'Ready, Fire, Aim' is the best way to start.

BG wasn't talking about guessing. He was talking about doing research to the point where a WAG (Wild-Ass Guess) becomes a SWAG (Scientific Wild-Ass Guess).

You're never going to be 100% sure, so you have to find the point where you're sure enough to get started even knowing that you have some uncertainty.

2. Quality Content:

BG is right on this one. Google, as a corporate entity, couldn't figure out how to care less about subjective criteria like "quality". What they want to provide is a user experience that keeps people using Google for search and clicking on sidebar ads to fill the coffers.

They way they do that is with relevance, which they have a mathematical model to calculate.

The real reason you want high quality content on your pages is that, after you get that click, you still have to satisfy the human whose finger twitch brought them to you. Show them garbage, and another finger twitch lands them on someone else's page.

3. Quality backlinks:

If you buy the analogy that Larry Page's PR is a measure of how other sites view your page, and vouch for it by linking to it, then quality backlinks are essential if you have any kind of competition.

If the traffic you get as a result of an EZA article converts, it's a good link. Otherwise, it's just burned bandwidth. If an inbound link contributes to enhancing your rank for traffic that turns into buyers, it's a good link. Otherwise, it's a waste of resources.

The thing is that I've seen far more people waste time and money dithering around with 'keyword research' to find the 'perfect niche' rather than taking action, making some missteps and mistakes but ending up making money anyway.

You do need to know some basics of keyword research and not just throw mud at the wall to see what sticks. But you don't want to spend a year or even a month or week doing keyword research for a single site. Once you know the basics it shouldn't take you more than a few minutes to make a good educated guess about a keyword and not too much longer to be more in depth if you want.

This describes my philosophy: OODA loop

What I'm saying is that without links, quality content means nothing. You may, if you're lucky, get those good authority links over time as people find you, maybe. But you'll likely be far behind the aggressive and skilled authority link builder who has adequate, but not necessarily great, content.

Originally Posted by Mangozoom

I've not seen that much direct traffic from EZA myself. It's probably niche dependent to some degree though. I tend to work in some offbeat areas.

Basically, I'm not a huge fan of the concept of using my work/content to build up other people's sites although I do think it and other top article directories, HubPages, Squidoo and the like are a good option for someone getting started.

  While I agree that quality content is important, getting Google to trust your website can give you that added boost to rank highly in Google. I have actually seen a site ranked #2 (niche with relatively high competition) with just 2 backlinks and it has just good content but emphasized a lot on the "trust" factor.

Oh yes indeed! I actually think this is where some newbies (myself included when I was a lot 'fresher') fall down. My only 'keyword research' now is

1. do I think people want this info/product/ebook/freebie/whatever?
2. is there enough traffic?
3. can it be easily monetized?
&
4. a quick glance at the first page of G's results to see what sort of competition there is.

Half the time I get my answers from gut feeling rather than any 'research'. But I think this comes from experience as well so I'd never not recommend looking at keyword tools if that helps you.

Yup, quality content will only get you so far .. it comes back to the 80/20 rule. 20% of your time should be creating content, 80% getting backlinks. At least that formula works for me.

I do get some really good traffic from EZA but I agree it's probably niche specific. I also use hubs, squidoo's, and the like too, but again only really for more backlinks to my own sites where the majority of my money is made (or for testing - I find hubs great for testing out niches before I build a full site).

there are lots of SEO factors to make your SERPs better and improved such as bookmarking ,,, blog commenting ,,, link building n stuff like that but the most important is the content of your site must be fresh and up to dated .. if you are not updating your content and just doing other SEO work your site cannot come on top in SERPs

Quality Content won't help you rank better itself. It will help you get noticed by other sites (if you promote it to them properly) which in turn will get you a lot higher quality and often more backlinks than trying to get people to talk about a piece of irrelevant rot.

It is also easier to approach other bloggers to do a guest blog when your site is full of well written original content.

These things will help you get a higher rank on Google, plus a whole lot of referred traffic.

You are also more likely to attract return visitors if your content is good.

I am also a "ready, aim, fire" person when it comes to research. I use the weak keywords to find the tough ones (with webmaster tools). I have ranked for a lot of difficult keywords this way, but I had the traffic from the weak while the more rewarding ones came through.

Sure, don't waste too much time on it but it really shouldn't take long to find a keyword to write something about, even if it really weak. I would rather spend 1 day in planning rather than the extra weeks it takes for a tougher one to pay off - for no more traffic.

Great post!

The only part I would possibly differ on is EZA.

I would have agreed with this in the past, but I'm not so sure now. Yeah this article posted in 2005 has had nearly a million hits, but you're talking about EZA for backlinks here, and in 2005 , 2006, 2007, 2008 - then yes without a doubt you are right, but in 2009 & beyond I'm not so sure.

Last year I started to see EZA having far less impact than in the past, just doesn't appear to have the impact it used to - due to Google changes with respect of duplicate articles.

It may be a low tech approach compared to some of the methods my fellow warriors use ... but I go for traffic through my links on Eza. I have enough of them that they have definately helped my rankings and I also get a TON of traffic through them.

Good Keyword Research
Use Samuria or MNF and spend LOTS of time digging for low competion high search phrases.
Consider the profitability i.e. it is possible to find keywords that can get you lots of hits and no sales (been there done that). In my experience the more time you spend at the front end doing KWR the better chance you have of being ranked.

Can you give a little more info on the stats you are looking for in a good keyword phrase or niche? I just got MNF last week, and I'd love some loose guidelines on what qualifies as a good niche for traffic numbers, etc.

This is Bull,

If you really followed your own advice then you would know this is bull.

Its making me sick the rubbish being fed to the unsuspecting people here.

Keyword tools like MS are grossly innacurate and if you really did use the tactics you state you use then you would know this is bull.

Sure, keyword research is very important, but to say "look for a low comp, high search phrase" with these tools shows that you are just another charlaton out to get signature exposure.

By the way, dont ban me again for telling it like it is.

Another consideration, you are advertising to claim how to take advantage of google instant.

Your original post was made three days ago .. how long has google instant been out ?

3 or 4 days, yet you claim to be taking advantage of this new search.

So within 1 day of google instant being rolled out, you know how to take advantage ?

Yeah, right.

Quality content of value
Stop trying to take shortcuts. Google rewards quality, and wants content that is in the interest of their audience and provides value. You are better of writing and publishing high quality content that is well researched and meets the need of your site visitor than using some clever method to try and trick google for a short period of time (until they adjust their equations and kick you into touch). Remember Google are smart and employ a lot of smart people ... so you versus Google no contest.

Quality inbound links
You can apply all sorts of inbound link strategies but in my view if you put crapola out there you may get some short term gain but eventually will fall of the radar. I truly believe that 1 good article on EzineArticles can provide more long term sustainable results than a thousand poor quality, spammy inbound links.

Here is a great example of an article published in 2005 that has had over 965,000 hits How To Lose Belly Fat With A 10 Minute Workout

Look, I'm not one to call anyone out on this forum or any forum, but can you explain the title of your post? This post says nothing about pulling in $325 a day.

I'm not going to make any assumptions about why that is or why so many posts have been showing up like this, but let's be honest, if this was an ezinearticles submission, it would have been declined on account of the article not serving the title.

The principles you are stressing here are pretty basic, but if you're really making $325 a day with Adsense (and I realize there are many that make more), I'm sure there are plenty that would like to hear about it. I'm not a "give it to me on a spoon" kind of guy, but I'm not the one that made the post either. Either way, good luck and carry on.

In my personal backlink strategy I tend to do a little of each type of backlinking strategy.

1] I write two articles per week. Submit one to Ezine and one to the other top articles directories using relevant keywords to my main theme.

2] Comment on a few high pr do follow blogs that are relevant to my topic

3] Create a few profile backlinks on high pr do follow forums.

I use some black hat tools to get my info but do them manually...particularly scrape box to find my forums/blogs but I don't auto submit them or blast them at all...I sort them by pr, and do follow then just take about 10 blogs and 10 forums per week at first then gradually move them up to about 30 blogs and forums per week.

I believe a well rounded backlink portfolio is one way to keep your site rising to the top.
