Using Ezine Articles to get links and exposure
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
I’ve been using Ezine Articles to promote my travel business for more than 3 years now. Ezine Articles works on a win:win scenario where you as a writer gain exposure for your business and the publisher has access to original, quality articles to use on their site, blog or email newsletter. You submit your articles and once approved by a human they are available for reproduction anywhere as long as the publisher makes no changes to the text, the source is quoted and the two links that you are allowed in your bio are clickable. It’s a good way of getting links back to your site to increase your page ranking. It can also enhance your status as an expert in you field. I’m now classed as an Platinum Expert Writer by Ezine Articles. There are various banners you can copy which link to your articles.
Recently I started submitting some posts from this blogging for your business blog to Ezinearticles recently because I know that bloggers are always looking for posts for their blogs. In the bio I have a link to this blog and a link to my travel blog. This means that I can increase my Technorati rankings for both my blogs each time an article is reproduced.
The one thing that concerns me is the lack of control over where your articles are published. I don’t know how much checking Ezine Articles do to ensure that their terms and conditions are adhered to.
I’d recommend Ezine Articles as it takes only takes a couple of minutes to submit an article, just make sure that you read the guidelines first. I think I’ve only had one article rejected but after slight adjustments it was successful on the second attempt.

The way I see it, it doesn’t matter where it shows up, just as long as it is showing up!

I would prefer my articles not be posted on certain sites e.g. porno (which is contrary to Ezinearticles T&C but I don’t know how much monitoring they do), as I’d like to be perceived as a quality resource but I know what you mean a link is a link and counts towards increasing your Technorati ranking.

Exactly! You just never know; I guess only time will tell. You can only hope and pray that your articles are distributed to the most appealing sites for conversions.
