EzineArticle Top 20 Author Showcases


Hey, I am still proud to be an article writer and marketer, despite all
the recent uproar about the whole idea of using online articles to get
your message on the web. And I was a little more than pleased to see I
had made it into EzineArticles’ Top 20 Expert Author Showcases… in
the #3 spot!

For me, article marketing is not dead and I refuse to believe otherwise.
It is still an effective marketing tool, especially if you use unique
articles and carefully monitor your anchor text links in your resource
boxes.

However, I would be foolish to believe article marketing hasn’t taken
a serious beating in the last year or so. This is mainly due to Google
and its recent algorithm changes – mainly the Panda and Penguin Updates.

In the Panda Update, articles took a serious blow, because websites and
webmasters no longer wanted to display or reprint articles on their sites
since Google and Panda believed them to be of lower value/quality because
they weren’t original.

With the Penguin Update, articles faced an even greater firestorm because
Google was now targeting and de-ranking exact keyword matches in the
resource box links of these articles. Sites did not want to be seen by
Google as having spammy links and countless high quality articles simply
disappeared from the web. You even had some sites deleting millions,
yes millions of articles, from their sites. Other sites displayed articles
but with no backlinks.

Good, informative high quality writing and articles will always be important
on the web. And despite what Google wants, syndicating content is still not a
crime. But writers do have to be careful not to violate Google’s Guidelines,
especially when it comes to backlinks and keyword anchor text, if they still
want to rank in Google.

As for making EzineArticles Top 20… this was out of some 200 showcases featured
on the EzineArticles’ blog since 2005. The blog is run by Chris Knight who owns
the popular EzineArticles.com site. Keep in mind, EzineArticles is probably
the top article directory on the web. It has over 462,195 expert authors submitting
articles, the popular site also has an Alexa traffic rank of 374 and a Google Page
Rank of 6.

Is Article Marketing Truly Dead?

Is Article Marketing Truly Dead?



Since Google latest Panda Algorithm lowered the rankings
for some major article directories like Ezinearticles and
Buzzle, it has many speculating whether or not article
marketing is truly dead?

While it is way too early to put article marketing in the
deceased column – it has become less effective than it
once was, just a few years ago.

Or at least, that’s what I believe, based on my own experiences
with article marketing. Don’t get the wrong impression,
using an article to build both traffic and rankings, is
still important.

But there have been many changes which have happened
on the web, which makes your articles less effective
than they once were. I also believe you must change
the way in which you use your articles now to market
your site or product.

If you want to find out more about this topic – I have
written another one of my longer pieces on this subject.
I also give you one of my most important article marketing
tools…

Google’s Latest “Content Farm” Update Have Webmasters Worried



BWMagic’s Internet Marketing News


Has Google Gone Too Far With Instant Previews?




Google Spot!







Google’s Latest “Content Farm” Update Has Webmasters Worried


If you have a website, you will probably already know about Google’s
latest algorithm update dealing with low-quality sites. These sites
are often referred to as “content farms” because they usually offer
a whole bunch of inferior material on many topics within the one site.

Demand media and eHow (rightly or wrongly) come under this heading
and as you can imagine they’re not too happy about it. So too, are
plenty of other sites which have lost search traffic in Google’s
recent changes. For the last two weeks or so, many webmasters have
been complaining about these abrupt traffic cuts and the lowering
of their keyword rankings within Google.

For those of us who can remember a pre-google web, this is not really
a big deal. Google has made countless updates that have upset countless
webmasters over the years. In my experience, all you have to do is adjust
your marketing or SEO and within a few weeks/months… your traffic
numbers will return or in many cases, actually increase.

Don’t want to minimize this issue and maybe this time, things will
play out differently, but I don’t think so. If you produce quality
content and have a lot of backlinks, the search engines can’t afford
not to list your site, especially if you have a large following or
membership base like Ezinearticles and Buzzle, which were also adversely
affected by this latest update.

Anyway, if you want to find out more about this Google Update…
I have compiled some helpful links and some graphics/charts showing
how many sites were affected by this update. I also give you some tips
on how to increase your traffic numbers… find out Buzzle’s simple
tactic which (I believe) has increased their traffic numbers 200%
in the last year or so.
