Ezine article outranking my article page?!?

by Danny Woolard Posted: 14 years ago 6 replies

So Im trying this article syndication and published 2 articles on Ezinearticles.com

The first one was published around July 1st, and the second article around the 15th.

For backlink in resource box I had to use a different page to link to than where the article is located per Ezine rules.

Now my site page was ranking around #10 for 30 days straight...Until yesterday where my site page isn't in top 100, and now my ezine article is top 10 and the page ezine article links to is now at 30 (which I wasnt even optimized for the keyword)

Only other change I made was deleting a link from StumbleUpon, but I dont think these backlinks are visible.

What is your problem? I don't quite get your point

Ok I have mainsite.com, mainsite.com/widget#1_article, AND maintsite.com/widget # 2_article

widget #2 page was ranking in top 10 for keyword "widget #2"

I submitted a nice article to ezine located on widget#2 page...However in my resource box Ezine told me I couldnt link to widget #2 page because of exact content.

Therefore in resource box, I linked to widget #1 page.

Now widget #2 page dropped from top 10 in Google to <100 ranking.

widget#1 page is now ranking at #30 for widget#2 keyword, despite not being nearly as deserving imo as widget#2 page

Should I just start putting my mainsite.com page in all my resource box links and quit trying to mix n match backlinks on Ezine?

  I don't understand this - what exactly did they say?
  
  How can that be connected to EZA, if you didn't even link to that page in EZA?
  
  I always link to my landing page in articles. (I sometimes link additionally to an internal page).
  
  Especially when your site's new, it's always possible for a copy of one of your articles on someone else's site to outrank your own site. (It's unusual for an article directory copy to do that, since all the Panda updates, but it can happen temporarily). That will be temporary, and every time you gain the initial indexation on your own site, it will make that more temporary and less likely for each future article. As long as you keep putting your articles on your own site first, and only submitting them anywhere else after they're indexed there, your site will be the one that generally ranks well.
