Question About Getting Links For Article

Hi guys,

Have recently started getting into article marketing and am trying to generate links to my articles on EZA to get them rated higher in the search engines.

I have been using a lot of social bookmarking and so on for this.

My question: is a "nofollow" link useful in ANY way, SEO-wise? Or is it purely for human visitors to follow? Because a lot of the links I am getting is "no-follow". My site is getting spidered in other ways (and the articles are on EZA, so no probs there) but I DO need the link benefits.

Thanks,

-Dan

    • As far as I know if understand what you are trying to ask, a no follow is not a link back to your site. If you need a link ack to your site use those blogs or sites that has a Do follow.

      Check with the others what they have to say.
      Thanks,

  • No Follow links have no value from an SEO perspective, however that doesn't mean they are completely useless because you can still benefit from the traffic. Just out of interest, why not create your own site and post your articles and build backlinks to them? That way you could earn some money from ad revenue rather than get nothing from just promoting ezine articles.

    • My articles are on my own site - hosted as a wordpress blog. However, EZA has SEO-power my site will never have, and it means that in the end the result is more or less the same - getting them to click through to the sales page to get the sale. I link to the blog and salespage in the resource box anyway, so I don't really think there would be much benefit to putting it on my own site anyway.

      Plus, links needed to get it on the front page of Google using EZA = not that many. Links needed for EVERY ARTICLE to get to the front of Google with my own site = thousands upon thousands.

      Why do you think people submit articles to article directories? To build backlinks to their site, among other things.

    Nofollow links are still good because they can still drive some traffic and it is also more "natural" than building follow links only.

    • Make it simple, dofollow link will provide you PR juice which can improve your PR (Google Page Rank), but nofollow will not provide you any PR juice.
