\nMy 5 Top EzineArticles.com Articles <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With all the discussion that Google Panda Updates in 2011 have
\nkilled article marketing, especially viral non-unique<\/b> articles and
\narticle directories, I took a closer look at my own article marketing
\nstrategies and numbers. Not surprisingly, many of my most popular articles
\nhave stopped performing simply because Google is no longer ranking
\nthem highly in places like Ezinearticles and the other major directories.<\/p>\n

Believe I submitted my first article to Ezinearticles in 2005 and
\nat that time I was writer\/member #1561<\/b>, now there are over 400,000+ <\/b>
\nwriters on that site.<\/p>\n

Now, I have not written a lot of articles – around 400 – spread out
\nover 5 or 6 years.<\/p>\n

At one point I did receive a lot of targeted traffic from EzineArticles,
\nbut not since the Panda Updates… other writers\/marketers have
\nhad better luck even after the updates, so sometimes it’s important
\nto remember not to draw general conclusions from your own data.
\nAgain, it may also be a matter of whether or not those articles
\nare “unique”<\/b> to EzineArticles.<\/p>\n

Lately, my articles have not been delivering traffic and I do believe
\nthe PageRank passed along from that site is now very minimal. Not to
\nsay that this won’t change in the future, mainly because Chris Knight
\nwho runs Ezinearticles, have put into place many quality changes since
\nthe Panda Updates.
\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years, my Top Performing Articles have been:<\/p>\n

1.<\/b> How To Choose The Best Student Laptop?<\/p>\n

Which has 129,652 views and 35,783 – this article also has one of my most
\nhighest click thru rates at around 27%.<\/p>\n

2.How To Find The Best Laptop Deals?<\/b><\/p>\n

This article had 72,007 views and 8,263 click-thrus with a 11.5% click rate.<\/b><\/p>\n

3.<\/b> How To Choose The Best Gaming Laptop?<\/p>\n

Which has 54,234 view and 7,541 click-thrus with a 13.9% conversion.<\/p>\n

4.<\/b>Are Any Free Online Faxing Services Really Free?<\/p>\n

This article has 53,060 views and 4,817 click-thrus with a \t9.1% click rate.<\/p>\n

5.<\/b> New Laptop Technology You Need To Know (Before Buying Your Next Laptop)
\n
\n
\nLastly, this one has 29,113 views and 1,343 with a 4.6% click rate.
\nPlease note, this was not a successful article because as soon as
\nit was written – it was out of date! Laptop technology is changing
\nso fast, an article like this one becomes dated very fast. This is
\na fact I learned early and I quickly changed how I wrote my articles to
\ngive them a longer life-span with information that can be used –
\neven if it’s read 5 or 10 years from when it was written.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In real actual return, my most successful article on the Ezinearticles
\nsite was none of the above… and it was an article that only received
\n13,000 views BUT it had a click thru rate of almost 50%. That is of all
\nthe people who read the article, 47% clicked through to my site. That
\nrarely happens with any kind of links or articles.<\/p>\n

The name of that article was:<\/p>\n

Using Internet Fax Comparison Charts To Find The Best Fax Service<\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As for overalls stats\/numbers with my EzineArticles account:<\/b><\/p>\n

Total Articles: 409<\/p>\n

Total views: 653,934<\/p>\n

Total URL Clicks: 87,759<\/p>\n

Average Click Rate: 13.4%<\/p>\n

Articles Published: 6,330<\/p>\n


\n
\nSummary<\/b> – I use article marketing to “pre-sell” my promoted
\nproducts and companies since I mostly do affiliate marketing
\nthrough the major affiliate networks like Commission Junction,
\nLinkShare, Shareasale, Clinkbank, Google… and many more.
\nEzinearticles at one time was a major, major, major factor in
\nmy overall traffic and promotions. Sadly, this has changed
\ndramatically over the last year mainly due to the Google Panda
\nUpdates which has seen articles from directories featured less
\noften in their SERPs. At least this has been my experience with
\nmy articles. Going forward, I am finding myself submitting more
\nand more “unique” articles to major sites and even to Ezinearticles.
\nFinally, while I wish it wasn’t so, I believe article marketing
\nhas passed its golden days. It is still effective, but less so.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
