Hey warriors,

I wanted to understand the mechanics of this "method"
(I've never used it, but I see others talking about it, and how they link their other articles back to their "Ezine" article)

(Example)

So I submit an article to "ArticlesBase", their "Editors" then review and approve my article

So they are "approving" my article with an Anchor Text Link that points back to my "Ezine" article? rather than a link to let's say my blog?


It seems odd?

or maybe when you say "linkback" you are referring to another method?

Thanks so much!

Dano~

    anyone familiar with is method?

    I thought most simply link their articles to their site...?
    (I realize that at least the ezine article points back to their site)
    would they create a different article for the ones they post in the other directories? or are all the same as the ezine article??

    I have not considered this strategy.....should I?

    Your thoughts please?

    thank you warrior mates!

    Dano!
    Not all directories accept duplicate contents. Ezine doesn't. I guess, the idea here is to submit the original article to ezine and then submit spinned articles to hundreds of other article directories. Yes, mass submission helps.

      The idea behind the strategy is quite sound..

      The point of the exercise is to get the EZA (ezinearticles.com) articles ranked as high as possible within the serps.

      One of the other posters was quite right, EZA does not accept duplicate content, but many of the other articles directory do.

      So, you could do the following :

      1. Submit high quality, original article with link pointing back to website to EZA.
      2. Wait for article to get approved.
      3. Submit lower quality articles to other article directories (using ArticleDemon etc) and have each of those article point to your EZA article.

      Now, the EZA article is on a trusted domain, with backlinks. So the link pointing to your website is much more valuable..

      Its a technique I use with great success..

      Hope this helps

          to simply writing articles that simply link to your site?

          becuase if you think about it the hopes of putting an article on an "ezine" is you hope you get syndicated "all over the place" ezine (II belive in their
          both methods work good. When you link the original EZA and spun articles to your sites, you leverage the quantity of backlinks to boost your site rankings. And you will have to diversify the anchor texts so as to make it look natural to search engines. This method make your site look popular in the eye of search engine.

          Try to mix this method and the method you mentioned in your backlink building.

            Thank for all your guys-es feedback

            I appreciate it!

            I asked the question for two reasons

            1.) is that I know I can submit the same article (I authored it) to as many directories as I'd like and google doesn't see that as bad, and they do not penalize you for that. So that I've learned by reading (tons!) and experts here in the forum have verified that...so when I would place an article in a directory and point the link back to my site, I would do the same thing for each article I place in those directories, ezine included....my no rocket science

            BUT the idea of writing one "main" article to say an "ezine" and then submitting articles to every other directory under the sun, and having it point/link back to the ezine article is rather new to me

            SO I wasn't sure if I could submit the same article to "all the other directories" as I do when I link the articles back to my site, because in this case I'm pointing them to the 1st article rather than to my site.. So I wasn't sure if "the same exact article" would be a problem for this "point'em all to the 1st" article scenario

            So you guys are saying "Only the Ezine article should be UNIQUE" and that all the other articles pointing to it "must all be different"

            I would like to ask a stupid question!

            Why is that necessary for this type of scenario?

            thanks mates!

              The idea behind the approauch I outlined above is to use the power of EZA to the max!

              EZA is a domain that Google absolutely loves. So anything that is prominent on EZA is something that Big G loves.

              As you can imagine, a massiver percentage of EZA pages have absolutely ZERO backlinks pointing to them. So any page that has even a few backlinks, gets better treatment than those other pages.

              So, the moral of the story is.... "Backlink your EZA articles"

              The other issue with EZA is that it would have to be one of the most "scraped" website in the universe.. So lets use that to our advantage.

              Let the scrapers take your EZA and link back to your website. So one article on EZA is worth about 50-100 other article submissions.

              Hope this helps

                hey bruce,

                and thank you again for all your direction!

                When you say link your articles in other directories back to your Ezine article are you referring to the link that many article directories allow you to place within the content of your article and link that back to your Ezine article?

                I was thinking about it and I thought about the editor in some other Article Directory (take articlesbase as an example) that would need to approve my article with a link in it back to "Ezine" rather than a link to let's say my blog?


                It seems odd?

                or maybe when you say "linkback" you are referring to another method?

                Thanks so much!

          Doesn't this just give you one backlink? And if you do it again for another page, won't all your links just come from EZA?

        Hi Bruce,

        Your statement quoted above isn't correct. EZA accept any article - duplicate or unique - as long as the article belongs to you and meets their quality guidelines.

        However, with the big knock EZA took with the latest algo change it wouldn't be far-fetched to fathom a change in that direction.

    When you are planning to submit articles to various article directories, then I would suggest that you come up with one unique article for Ezine and then autospin that article to generate tons of new unique articles for your mass submission to other article directories. I have been using this strategy. I hope it works for you too. Wish you luck.

    you have to have a different written article with different words uniquely written with the ezinearticle link as the resource footer link, in order for the maximum effect of multiple backlinking to take effect successfully

      thank you guys verymuch!

      But my question is very specific

      I'll paraphrase from the 1st post (I edited it, because my question wasn't phased properly, please forgive me!)

      I was thinking about this "method"

      (Example)

      So I submit an article to "ArticlesBase", their "Editors" then review and approve my article

      So they are "approving" my article with an Anchor Text Link that points back to my "Ezine" article? rather than a link to let's say my blog?

        Are you asking if the editors would approve an article with a link embedded that is pointing towards another AB page?

          No Ross,

          thanks for chiming in, a little differnt


          Their was a thread touting the benefit of placing your "MAIN ARTICLE" on Ezine, then writing other articles and placing them in other directories, but have them pointing back to your Ezine article...(that's the idea)

          This was described as a viable method that was "recognized" as a good method


          So after thinking about it and looking at the "mechanics" of the process, I broke down how someone would actaully accomplish that, and I simply used "articlesbase" as an example of one of the directories I would submit an article, that would point back to my "MAIN ARTICLE" in EZINE

          I assume they mean an "anchor text link" so it just seemed odd, that one directory would approve an article that would points to an article of a different directory?

          Dano~

          I was curious specifically about using an "anchor text link" in an article you place in a (other than ezine)directory, who's link points back to your "Ezine" article?

          Are other directories "OK" with that ?
          That you are pointing your link back to your "Ezine" article?

    I think its fine to have a link back on your article as long as both content is relative.

      interesting sean,

      haven't had much feedback so just left with being "skeptical"

      the thread eleva referenced mentions using a domain to link to then simply doing a 301 redirect after it's been pubd
