Ezine Articles
-
How much do other people rate Ezines as a provider of articles and incoming links. What are peoples experiences.
It has to be one of the most strict article sites but does this make it the best ?
-
Using Ezine as a source of content will load up your domain with duplicate content. These pages will not pull traffic unless your domain is stronger than any other domain that has the same content.
If you submit content to Ezine that will put the content on a lot of other domains, most of them will remove your links and the rest probably have links that are almost worthless.
I think that Ezine is a good recommend to your competitor.

Agree. There are only a handful of the "old time" article directories that still rank. But this may be a historical artifact that doesn't apply to new content. At least that's what a handful of my experiments to date suggest.

Interesting one I added this to my blog at http://blog.onlinemediadirect.co.uk but have had low levels of comments. Noticed you do magento
If I may go off topic for a moment I wanted to see if its possible to get a feed from magento to integrate withing ebay and amazon ? Plus thinking of an easy upload to adwords.
It has something like 7000 products hence the requirement.

I concur! Ezinearticles has a ton of Adsense crap on it anyway. I have a couple links coming from them, but it's not something I increased rankings for. Instead of using that time on article writing, I integrated ADDTHIS and Facebook Comments into my site. More shares and likes, more interest.

I would currently rate Ezinearticles extremely low on the authority of their content and links according to Google. This is simply based on the Panda update backlash that devalued ezine and similar article databases.
While it was extremely popular in the past, the popularity and spamming of content/links is what also led to the demise and devaluing.
You time and effort would be better spent elsewhere.

Content Marketing - Getting Webmaster to Link to Article
Hello, We're doing a niche article and we want to do a link building campaign around it. I'm not as interested in being linked to in resource sections - that will happen - but my question is for other links. What types of links am I looking for, is it guest posts - is that the best? If so, how do convince them to allow a guest post around an article? Thanks.

Reposting my articles on other blogs - good or bad?
Hi there! Our blog is full of really good articles on consumer finance topics. Recently we established contact with some local media and even government agencies who said they will be happy to repost our articles on their sites. Question: is it ok to repost our articles as they are and link back to us, or shall we rewrite them to make them 100% original? The media doesn't insist on original content, but I'd like to get SEO benefit from it (the sites are really good). If original content gives us more SEO value, we're happy to do it Please advise. P.S. Using rel=canonicals is not an option (it's government websites and some old school media - they are very not tech savvy).

Is it safe to submit the same article to multiple sites?
Hello, I am just getting into SEO and I need some guidance with article submissions. I have read in many different places that submitting articles to other sites (EzineArticles, Digg, Etc.) is a great way to build links back to your site. My question is, can I submit articles already posted on our site to these sites or is it best to write new articles?

Do links from the second page of an article pass link juice?
I have been writing for some sites with a high overall page rank and the articles are being viewed as quality by search engines as well. However, they usually put a link to my site at the very end of the article and then break the article down into two pages to increase ad revenue. It seems that I'm not getting much credit for that link even if the page has a high SEOmoz/PR score. I want to know if I am getting the benefit from these links. If not, how do I make sure I get the most bang, even if my link is on a second page of the article? Here is an example of what I mean: http://www.forbes.com/sites/theyec/2012/08/22/kanban-for-customers-how-to-increase-transparency-in-your-business/

Backlink's using duplicate content in article directories
I've had a link build report of all the links an SEO company have got us but a simple search for some of the content in Google with phrase match brings up about 3 pages of the same content posted to different article sites. I think it is doing something but will it just be penalised over time?
