    I think both are equally good in driving traffic, depending on your niche.
    Don't we need some more inputs here, people :-)

    Apples to oranges, for article marketing, EZA all the way!

      Thanks for the tipoff. I was asking myself this question as well. By the way EZA have a wordpress plugin which enables you to submit your blog entries directly.

        EZA does have a plugin that does this.

        But their site gets spidered by the search engines very often and very fast. If you use the plugin to publish to your site and EZA at the same time, teh odds are that your article on EZA will get indexed first and this may result in their site getting more credit for your article thatn your own site.

        That is not a definite thing for all the time, just one of those things to consider.

    Both are powerful tools in getting traffic to your website. I would rather choose both.

    For traffic, both is good, maybe Ezinearticles is better.

    For the backlinks,remember that if your hubscore is below 75, you can't get dofollow links from hubpages.

    And one thing that I like hubpages is that I can put affiliate links in my hubs. But you can't spam, you need to offer useful contents and put at most two outbound links in one hub. And also don't promote the same link in all your hubs.

    I like to use both hubpages and Ezinearticles. I usually write an article and insert an affiliate in it. Then put it on my hub. Then I build links to this page using Ezinearticles, that works well.

    They both are good but I prefer Hubpages. Your hubs can look like mini websites which makes them attractive, and you can have up too two different affiliate links on each hub plus a lot of extras. In my opinion hubpages all the way, especially if your promoting affiliate products.

    What secret with Hubpages is you can get real traffic FAST. WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT TAGS TO SELECT, YOU CAN GET ALMOST INSTANT TRAFFIC TO ALL THE SITES YOU HAVE.

    Hi lauren,

    It's not actually a good idea to stick on just one traffic source. I say do both, the most successful websites have varied traffic ranging from organic (google) to high authority referrers (eza, squidoo).

      Not being rude or anything but the time spent asking this question and waiting for answers could have been used in submitting to both of them. just my 2 cents..............Take action NOW .

    Both hubpages and EZA works well for article marketing, for some of our targeted keywords, hubpage seems to be rank better and generate slightly more traffic than EZA

        You are better off marketing your site in the long run. If you are building links to a webpage with the idea of getting traffic or helping your site rise in the search engines, you probably wnat that site to be yours, not somebody else's.

        A Hubpage is a way to provide good content to the web as a whole and get a link froma good site to yours. In that sense, making a hubpage is a marketing activity for your website.

        If you want to build links to your Hubpage, do them in a way that does not cost you much time or energy. Save your really intensive efforts for your own site.

    They're both good. However many say that google loves ezine so an article there might get more exposure than say, one on hubpages. Do not neglect hubpages either, it's a very good source of a high quality backlink and as well as traffic (even more traffic if you involve some marketing campaigns).

    They are both great but out of the two I prefer Ezine and only because its an easier process then compared to hubpages.

    I really like hubpages, because you can monetize it right off the bat. In many ways, I treat hubpages as a way to write thin affiliate sites with much less effort or aggro.

    If you want to drive traffic to your sites, ezy for me all the way.

    If you just want to make money... product review + hubpages = money is a formula I use a lot.

    Squidoo will prevail between 3 of them!

    I would recommend both. I don't think there is a way to have "too much good publicity" (for lack of a better term) from quality Ezines and Hubpages. Don't forget about Squidoo pages.

    I think both would be good. However, HubPages has a much better internal linking structure and an active community.

    Plus, you can earn (much better) income via HubPages. It's win-win!
