How Does EZarticleLink Work?

Posted in Online Communities, Online Marketing

I’ve had a lot of people ask me recently about EZArticlelink , and how it worked.  For those of you who don’t know, it’s  a very powerful article syndication and backlink method.

EZArticlelink is new, and still in the launch period.   I joined about 3 weeks ago.  Now that I’ve used it, I do understand the process more. In fact, I’m so excited about it, that I see that this will be one of my main daily dashboards.

I’ll try to explain how it works.

They have a silver membership program, which is free.
They have a gold membership, which is paid, but offers more perks.

Basically the process is:

1) You can spin and syndicate articles, that are posted to member article directories, which are article directories that other people have added to their website.

2) You can choose if you want to have an article directory on your site, or if you don’t want to. Here’s how that works:

For Silver ( free members )- for every domain that you put an article directory on, you get a domain in which you don’t have to include an article directory on. Those non-directory domains are called ‘post only’ domains. When your domain is approved, you can then start inputting articles for syndication on it, although your spun articles still need to be approved too.

For Gold members ( paid members)- the same rule applies, except that once you have 20 article directories on the system, you can have unlimited ‘post only’ domains, which again are sites that don’t have a member directory on them.

There are definately benefits to having directories on sites, which I will explain further down.

3) Because all websites are family friendly, they have to check every website that you can promote on the system to make sure it’s not porn, gambling, etc. They also want to check to make sure that articles are acceptable, and correctly spun. Basically quality control for their members. I can appreciate that.

4) Once your domain is accepted, you can post and syndicate an article. You can choose to have their staff spin the article if you want. I opt for that. The fee is just $3 for gold members, and $5 for silver members.
Can’t beat that price for spinning!

Once their team is finished spinning ( or you spin ), you send it for approval.

5) Once the article is approved, it begins syndication, but slowly, so as to look natural to the search engines.

The content is posted on these directories, which all look different, and are all SEO optimized.

- A silver member can get each article out to up to 200 sites
- A gold member can get each article out to up to 300 sites

You can keep submitting new articles for these same domains.

6) As your article gets posted to a member site, their system automatically creates a contextual backlink to that article, thus increasing the value of your backlink.

7) This of course also increases the value of a website that has a directory on it.

8) Placing a directory on your site is easy. You basically create a folder called something like ‘weblogs’ or ‘articles’ or something to that effect, and upload a file to that folder.

You can then make that directory look how you want it too. From their control panel (not from your site), you can then easily take on the existing look/feel of your website, or modifiy it. You can also monetize your article directory.

6) Because their system will automatically promote your article for you on other websites, the reverse is helpful to you too. Your site’s directory is being promoted by them… completely on autopilot. This automatically will promote your own site with more links to it.

For Gold members, there is an added benefit.

For every article that you put through the system that is approved for syndication, you get 100 bonus backlink points. These backlinks can be for any site you want, even if it is not in the system. Basically, you add the url you want to link to and what keyword phrase you want to use, and those backlinks will post on sidebars or under related content. These are contextual backlinks, and they too need approval.

So… not sure if that made it clear or more confusing.  Here’s more information on it:  EZArticlelink

eBay Sale Down this Holiday. Duhh! Here’s the Reason.

Posted in Online Communities

I just had a bit of a laugh. I just read an article on the Wall Street Journal about ebay,
and how ebay sales have been hurting this holiday season.

As an eBay affiliate, I can tell you why. eBay recently changed the way that they pay their affiliate marketers. It used to be that a marketer got a % of the sale. Now, eBay pays a whopping 14 cents per click for most marketers.

Everyone knows that they can do much better with Adsense or Amazon in monetizing a site. So as a result, thousands of websites that once promoted eBay, are now moving in droves to Adsense or Amazon instead.

SAdly, eBay is still in a state of denial. They think it’s because there are no hard to find items other than Zhu Zhu pets.

Something tells me that when end of year figures come out, that Amazon will see a huge increase in sales, mainly because eBay promoters changed their sites around to promote Amazon products instead.

Get Your Facebook Username Before It’s Too Late!

Posted in Online Communities

You can now get your own username in a Facebook URL, so that your page reads:

http://www.facebook.com/YourName/

The new option became available at midnight last night.

I personally didn’t feel like staying up until midnight and felt certain that no one
would take the name ‘Rita Wilhelm’ by morning. I was wrong.

It’s now Saturday morning, which is just 8 sleeping hours since the Facebook username option
went live. I went in to grab my name first thing this morning. But low and behold…
another Rita Wilhelm got the name Rita Wilhelm before me!

So, I’m now: www.Facebook.com/RitaWilhelm2 .

Lesson: The early bird catches the worm. And in this case, it wasn’t me.
