The New Way to EzineArticles Success !

April 8, 2011 - Last Modified: February 14, 2013 by Wong Chendong

EzineArticles Success

With the recent change in the way Google calculates SERP’s, EzineArticles has taken a slight hit in overall rankings, which has some article marketers going overboard in a panic.

While it might be true that EzineArticles aren’t the same as they once were, that doesn’t mean they aren’t useful in some form. Smart marketers know that Google is always changing, and when dealing with changes in the search engines, it is much better to avoid drastic changes than to freak out and drown in a sea of doubt.

Smart marketers also know how to track metrics so that they can measure each part of their conversion funnel, and in doing this, they can learn the true value of a website like EzineArticles.com.

The reason that EzineArticles has dropped in status is not because they did anything wrong, but because the lazy marketers ruined it. You can be sure that EzineArticles isn’t going to go away simply because of a new SERP algorithm change.

Instead, they are going to tighten up and enforce stronger guidelines, which means that you, as a smart marketer, can make some major gains in the marketplace by doing a few things well.

Quality, Quality, Quality

Content farms are labeled content farms because they lack value, and it’s likely that many of the sloppy content writers are going to get canned because they simply can’t provide value in any form.

You on the other hand, understand the importance of quality content and know that quality content not only ranks better but converts better.

What is Quality Content?

In my opinion, quality content boils down to 3 things.

1.  Relevance – If your content isn’t laser sharp and focused around a specific question, concern, or problem, then it’s probably too general to help your reader, and if you can’t help the reader, than your content is useless.

2.  Timeliness – If your content contains information that’s dated or that no longer works, then you are not only failing to help, but you are confusing people.

3.  Specificity – Your content should provide clear guidance and should enable the reader to take immediate action. If it does not and you are only offering “food for thought,” then it will likely be forgotten the second they move to the next page. Worse yet, they won’t even read it.

Why Quality Matters

If you write relevant, timely, and specific content, then you’ll do a few things:

1.  You’ll solve problems, and if you solve problems, you are doing exactly what Google and EzineArticles want to do – help people.

2.  You’ll have content that makes sense, which means more people will link to it, and more people will comment, bookmark, and share it.

3.  You’ll look like an all-star compared to the scores of spammy article marketers that were once given free reign, which means you’ll get noticed, and in all likelihood, pushed to the top of both Google and Ezine results.

Lead the Way

In closing, a great article stands out among its peers and diminishes the need for keyword stuffing. Instead, lead your readers on a journey from problem/question, to solution, where they’ll need to click through your resource box to do so.

It’s simple, but somehow people lost the way. Quality = $.

What do you think? Are you nervous about the new Google results? Are you changing anything? Let’s talk about it in the comments below.

    I have noticed a huge different in the way editors accept or reject article on ezine for the past few weeks. I have even heard a few rumors that ezine my start accepting ONLY unique articles. I don't really think that will happen. but you never know, especially since they took a really hard hit from the Panda, they might go to any length to ensure their survival.
  2. shan ali says:
    well i have mentioned this thing in my other comments that quality is compulsory for EZA.... i was going to promote my blog through EZA but since panda update i have not taken a step further in EZA...
  3. Minal says:
    True, quality of content is something that'll build up your reputation even if the process takes longer. Rather than keyword stuffing, I believe the article must deliver as much information on the topic as possible. It is a nice feeling to see the number of clicks on your article increase.
  4. Abrienda says:
    Quality is still important if you have a website. Also, internet marketers out there already know that it is a very competitive world out there and how diverse Google is. Not only that, we also need to consider other strategies to keep our sites from drying out. EZA helped me in a lot of ways and it is such a useful site. We also need to be updated with the current trends in internet marketing.
  5. Anirudh Anand says:
    yes you are correct.. quality does matters.. but i don't know why, i hate submitting quality articles to others or to ezine artiles...
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Could you give me a reason why you hate to submit quality article to EZA? I feel kind the strange because you are the first person who said that.
      • Anirudh Anand says:
        Actually, what i meant is, my mind won't allow me to submit good articles to others and instead i will post it on my own blog..... Peculiar character ugh??????
        • Dennis Edell says:
          I know what you mean Anirudh, this is the same reason i haven't started guest posting yet...I need to get over this quick though.
          • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
            OMG, DennisEdell, you did better get this over because you are going to miss out a great benefit if you don't guest post... And seriously Anirudh, even if you post it on your blog, I still prefer you to send them to article directories, you never knew who's reading your article...
            • Dennis Edell says:
              Oh I know it and I wrote a post in April asking readers if they'd like me to guest post for them. :) http://www.dennisedell.com/11745/guest-blogging-opportunities/
  6. Kevin Tan says:
    I'm glad Google took down a lot of garbage out there. I know EzineArticles lost a lot of traffic, but I feel the new rules will help pick it back up in a few months.
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Yes, I agree with you 100% because this downfall is only temporary and usually site like EZA which had a reputation to hold is usually ready to pull back up to where it suppose to be.
  7. Vijayraj Reddy says:
    Ya if you have quality content you need not worry, there will be some Google dance, but finally quality will win...
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      That's the way it should be... finally the quality is still the winner after all kinds of Google dance...
  8. Ken McDaniel says:
    I agree completely! Quality content is a must. I have run into enough out of date instructions that I have been fed up with the whole thing. Everything I write is of current needs or issues.
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Well, although there are lots of article that's old in EZA, I'm sure most of it still is valid, but anyway having a latest write out of the current trends is still the best.
  9. marcus says:
    Over all better quality content will help everyone, authors for ezinearticles, your personal blog or website and the ezinearticles.com website.
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Ya, over all quality still wins that's for sure an that's what people are searching for online.
  10. Ayden says:
    Really? you mean I have to start writing about stuff that actually makes sense? Oh, no fair. Bring back the old days of Ezinearticles ;)
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Well... do you want to read stuff that don't makes senses?
  11. Selina says:
    Wong, Thanks for not being in panic and telling it the way it is. If we as bloggers offer something worth reading it should be of value and the people that just spin other people's work or outsource someone who must barely speak English to write 200 word posts for them why should they clog up the rankings? Quality Content is the silver bullet. My blog traffic jumped up 50% after Panda. It should also be a lesson to not rely on another website to make your sales. People that drive traffic to EA or Hubpages may one day be out on the street... A self-hosted blog is a must. Thanks Selina
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      To me I do not drive traffic to EZA but let EZA drive traffic to my blog and yes having a blog is important, but the end goal of a blog can be a lot and it is the main goal of the blog that will make a difference in what you want.... for example you want a blog as a tool to drive traffic to your business site or just for personal usage...
      • Selina says:
        Thanks for the insight. I have blogs for both reasons. Being a stay-home-mom. Selina
  12. Sajid Saleem Sajid says:
    Awesome tips...! I personally only like to write some sort of ever green content, It gives us a lot. Full result for forever.
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Thanks for coming by reading my posts, well ever green content is always something new that most reader want and if you can write this sort of content it will have great result just like you say... forever....
  13. karan says:
    For me Content and its marketing go hand in hand. Your content is of no use even if it gets traffic as crappy content stays crappy content no matter how many links you manage to get. So, I strongly support your point that Quality Content is maybe the building block of a successful online business.
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Ya... agree crappy content is useless even if it had millions of traffic, because like you said crappy is still crappy and quality is what successful online business in all about...
  14. Margaret Adams says:
    This is a very useful and timely article. I had read that things had changed in terms of how Google looks at sites and I knew that Ezine Articles had been mentioned as having been affected. This article explains the situation and what to do about it. It's clearly written and the article makes its points well. Many thanks.
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Ezine can never be gone or it can never be lost marketing method because it's just temporary that the traffic had gone down but I personally believe when quality is up so does the traffic and it's all a matter of time...
  15. Davis says:
    The Ezine news and Google Panda update is pasted all over the internet so it also was not a 'slight hit' for me at first but it is the responsibility of the media and the internet to give breaking news :) Whether original or perfectly spun articles, content will always rule. Its now more obvious that the strong will survive.
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Nice word "the strong will survive" that's how the Google battle for traffic is all about...
  16. Sandeep says:
    Yup, quality of your posts is always the way ahead.. and ezine articles needs to make their guidelines more strict considering the google panda update
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Yes, quality must be the main goal now... keywords should be second...
  17. John says:
    Hi Wong, Nice post, i agree with you, quality content is very important element of website or article. If the post or article is not helping others to solve problem then it is useless to read.
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Ya, if it's useless... it's always useless, and writing quality content is always the biggest problem people are having... Can this tittle still work ---> "How to write quality content?' I wonder?
  18. Lee Ka Hoong says:
    Hey Wong, I definitely agree with your statement that quality equal to money and success. In the latest Google Algorithm or what we call it "Google Panda Algorithm", Google will look more into quality of content and inbound link instead of quantity of inbound link. When it comes to doing article marketing in EzineArticles, I don't actually see what's the point of doing that. Yes, EzineArticles is a huge and great article directories, but I think the quality of article has not been reaching the level yet. From my point of view, if you can write quality and unique content, I would prefer doing guest posting on established and similar niche blog, that would help a lot and more effective instead of posting in EzineArticles, at least you could get relevant readers. Anyway, unique and quality of content is still king! Nice post Wong! Regards, Lee
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Yes you are right... writing a guest post is more effective in getting traffic, but getting an expert status is a different story... Now if you are a professional in consulting... and you did like to find clients online... you do not guest post on any blog and said you are an expert or professional... I mean no one had heard your name... and moreover even if you are an offline expert... you need a status to proof... And EZA is one of them... and you might said "well I can write just 30 articles to get the expert status in EZA." but the truth is can you really write 30 quality articles in one short? Absolutely no, right... that is why it takes time to achieve a status to proof you know what you are talking about in your expertise... As for guest post... you get quality links, you get immediate traffic... but you don't get an expert or professional status just by writing a guest post... Hope you understand the importance of branding a name online as to getting a quality link ... It is how the end goal of what you want that actually decide which method to use... but of course you can use both... which I'm doing right now... :)
      • Lee Ka Hoong says:
        You may right if someone who wants to get their name well known on the web especially he is providing article writing services on the web, an "Expert" status in EZA would be good to proof that he can writes quality articles, that would help to gain trust from clients. Perhaps someone who is a blogger needs guest post rather than EZA. Anyway, I agree with you Wong! Regards, Lee
        • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
          Well... it's all about the end goal, for example if your are selling for a service an EZA status will be beneficial in a way or two but of course like you say if you are a blogger, guest post is much better... so either way it's fine, but I prefer both :)
  19. Khalid Hosein says:
    'Slight' hit?! EzineArticles more than took a slight hit - they got pummeled by the Google "Farmer" algorithm update. Just take a look at this chart put together by metrics company Sistrix. Granted, those are not raw traffic numbers, but it's telling in that their combination of traffic, rankings and click-throughs dropped SO much. Bottom line, I would seriously re-think using EZA (or any other article directories) at all, or at least do some serious keyword research to figure out if it's worth submitting article(s). Additional references: http://www.quora.com/SEO/Which-websites-dropped-the-most-in-the-Google-algorithm-change-of-February-2011 http://www.seobook.com/google-kills-ehows-competitors _
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      All the links are good info, but this info is to scare the hell out of people who do not know the potential of EZA... I had been using EZA for about 3 years and within this 3 years Google had change a lot, so does EZA but till today had you seen EZA being name as the worst article or average article submitting directories before? Absolutely no. First of all, you need to understand it is not EZA that makes the rank drop but the people who write crap content make EZA drop... With the result like this, EZA is now more specific in checking the quality articles... and because of that... getting approval takes longer time then ever before for "new user"... Here's a little story I did like to share... As you already know, everywhere around the world there are people who kept telling us human to save the earth, they even had advertising on tv and radio... but the truth is the earth will never die... it's been here long before anything we had discovered... the only thing they need to concern about is not saving the world but saving the human. Now is the same as EZA... EZA may seems low in traffic but that doesn't mean they will dies out just because of the Google update... what will dies out is the crappy content that's in EZA that's going to die out... as for quality... they won't... remember it is not the size of the traffic that matter but the potential of quality content... if you have a quality content... you are in for quality results... this is probably the longest comment I had make... but I will write a very detail stuff about this in the near future...
      • Khalid Hosein says:
        Wow, thanks for the quick and lengthy response Wong. Just one last comment and I'm hanging up my keyboard on this discussion: I hardly think those articles I referenced are 'out to scare' people - those are some hard numbers. And EZA and the rest would never have responded as quickly and as emphatically as they did, if there wasn't some real hard truth to them. Anyway, I wasn't saying don't use EZA or other article directories, but it's not the same easy-money game it was before. PS> Nothing is forever! ;-) _
        • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
          Yes nothing is forever, but if it's good... I will let it be... and it is the reason why... I said the numbers is to scare the people... but have you ever wonder if those people who wrote those post... are they using EZA? That's the under-the-table question that you had to really think about because, the online world is just like this---> This method is dead, and after a few weeks someone created a product saying it is not dead here's how you can benefit from it... (sound familiar?) You see, the numbers are always something to shock us, and make us panic... but the real truth is ... online world of marketing is always like this... :)
        • Gene says:
          First of all Wong, thanks for a great article. And Khalid you make some great points.No doubt EZA has taken a hit but the raw numbers are misleading too. EZA had far too many articles in the "spammy" topics that seemed to be specifically targeted (like 10% of its search volume) (like "get your ex back" ) Those articles got flat out slammed. And deservedly so.The other articles hit were the ones that really cut ezine articles own rules (the old ones) close and did non of what Wong advocates.In other words...articles that were crap and deserved to be hit.I personally have about 500 articles on EZA. I have been holding off writing new ones (only about 2-3) since Panda to study my personal metrics.Now I have always aimed for (not ALWAYS succeeding) about what EZA current standards are at 400 words plus and at least answering what the topic says it will answer. With a fair-sized sampling of what I think are "quality" EZA articles my traffic is down 5-10% from previous months averages. It sucks, but it sin't the end of the road for EZA.The stats for the whole site may be significantly lower, but remember, that may often include some of the older and frankly crappier articles.Like the man said, go forth with quality and your results can still be quality.
          • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
            Thanks Gene... for your great comment of explaining the dark side of EZA about articles that are useless, which actually bring EZA down like a black hole... But I personally feel quality will always bring quality traffic and that's what we as information provider on the internet should be doing...
  20. Jitendra Singh says:
    Yes, quality means money. So as with Google.
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      That's why Google can never be dead.... and I still see people... saying Google is dead... now "Facebook"... saying dumb... this is dumb... :)
      • Jitendra Singh says:
        whoa... who said google will be dead ?? tell me the name :) Yes, google is still a king of the web.
        • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
          Just go and search "is google dead?" in Google and you will know who... :)
          • Jitendra Singh says:
            Yeah i know ... was kidding :) Dont take it seriously :)
  21. karan says:
    According to me, if we are looking forward to create some really resourceful content then rather than submitting our content to Article Directories, I would prefer submitting them as a guest post. Since, the content is good, we shouldn't have much problem in getting it accepted. Besides from getting better link juice, we stand a chance to build up better relationships with new readers via comments. What do you think?
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      If you are getting readers and a back link of course using guest post is better, but if you are promoting your brand or your products, you should write in Ezine because earning status in ezine is not easy and once your got a status such as an expert author your brand will increase and that's where you can brand yourself, the second thing is promoting your product, giving a solid information and then directing them to a page where you will introduce the product you are going to sell... It is the way you are going to use that matters... so are you going for readers or are you going for customers?
      • karan says:
        You're pretty much right Wong. Yes, it's free and it gets easier to rank via article directories like Ezine. But from my experience, once we have a nice targeted reader base on your blog, promoting and selling stuff gets a lot more easier and rewarding. And yes, if your blog is relatively new and not well established Article marketing is the way to go! :D
  22. Alex says:
    I think we all know by now that Google will pretty much take you to the ground, if you don't write articles that are original, researched and actually provide some useful information. Ezinearticles were hit where it hurts most, in the amount of revenue it was producing. They got slapped by google, their rankings dropped so their pageviews dropped which means their click numbers decreased too, when they saw that their money are in danger, they started doing what they should have done a long time ago, when they saw that people are starting to right snippets and useless blurbs just to get a link or some traffic from them. So like you said it, it all comes down to money. If you want money, then just write your own resourceful articles and write something that will help others, because in exchange those articles will help you in the long run to make money or keep your rankings (but mostly, it all goes back to money)
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Yes, you are right, if you want money then you have to write resourceful articles... if your article sucks it will most probably sucks at almost every article directories... that's for sure..
  23. Zohan says:
    I am agreeing with you absolutely Quality and original content is the only thing neededt for a great blog. Without quality no use of websites. Google's new strategy affected almost all famous bloggers including Amit Agarwal Of Lanol.org ! I dont understand why he got affected by new google decision!!
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Well... I doesn't really know about him and I think the most affected site will be article directories such as Ezine... and because of that it won't be easy to get approve from them like last time...
  24. Kavya Hari says:
    Quality content should be most important part in the blog post. And, it would be attract the audience side. Thanks a lot for written great article on here :)
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Ya, great quality content come great quality audience... thanks for reading and commenting, I appreciate it.
      • Kavya Hari says:
        Yeah, great effort Wong :). See you again :)
  25. Tinh says:
    One quality article is better than 100 of duplicate articles. The future of autoblogging will be very near LOL
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      ROFL... that's a nice ending sentence.... and is really true...
  26. Dennis Edell says:
    What's the word on some of the other directories, i seem to only hear of EA?
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Will, you can try ideamarketers.com or articlebase.com, both article directories are not bad in terms of traffic coming in and out of it.
      • Dennis Edell says:
        So others weren't hit as hard as EA?
        • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
          For what I know, it won't...
    • Tinh says:
      Just add hubpages, ehow...
      • Tia Peterson says:
        Agree. My hubs still get traffic. I love Hubpages! I do that for fun; not for any other reason.
        • Tinh says:
          Great to hear that @Tia :-)
        • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
          Mind adding me to your list in hub... what's your name in hubpages....?
  27. James Martell says:
    I would like to offer up another strategy... Instead of posting to EzineArticles I would suggest a better strategy would be to find 5 *quality* guest blogs and start contributing to a community like this one. I understand that a quality article on EzineArticles can rank highly in the search results (for those looking for click-through traffic), but that same quality article posted on for example, FamousBloggers.net, will also rank highly. In both cases you get the backlinks, click-through traffic, but with the guest blog you can get yourself REPEATEDLY in front of a whole new audience. If you we're to 5 find quality guest blogs and contribute 1 article a week to each -- in a month you would have 20 articles in front of 5 new audiences. If you were to include two backlinks in each article you would also have 40 fresh backlinks to your site. The following month write another article a week for each of the 5 guest blogs and at the end of the month you will have an additional 40 backlinks. If your articles (and comments) are helpful your reputation in the community will start to grow. James
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Well... this is a great strategy but I think you should write a new post about this strategy rather then posting it in the comment here....
  28. Justin says:
    Quality and original content is essential to a great blog. Rewording someone else's content or short useless articles are not worth reading. There needs to be a better way to get the best websites according to their niche at the top of search engine rankings.
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Actually re-writing other people's content is not useless... all you have to do is make it better because if you can rewrite a content to make it better and more valuable... why not rewrite them as a means to let readers know what you know....?
      • Justin says:
        Let me clarify myself, it's useless to someone like me who is in search of valuable and original content. I'm not saying that it is not useful to someone who has never came across the topic before. I check out at least thirty different blogs a day and a lot of it is not profound to say the least. I want to read a blog that "wows" me with some new, useful, and practical information. After reading so many blogs on a consistent basis I see a general pattern of, write as many articles as I can, as often as I can, even if they are short posts without much quality or useful information.
  29. semmy says:
    Hi Wong nice article. I agree with you. It's always come with quality..quality and quality. If you're following google rule. there is no problem with your site. Quality is more than quantity.
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      You are absolutely right, quality is always better then Quantity and that is how value are serve as one of success element.
  30. Alexander says:
    I have never really done article marketing that much, overall I think I have only written about 12 articles and submitted to srticle directories. The reason why I have not done this that much is because I know that my articles will lack value.Whenever I am writing for some article directory it feels like no one is going to find that article anyways, so I automatically lower my standars so that I can focus on posting higher quality content on my own website. I suppose that article marketing is not my "thing". I prefer doing blog commenting, forum posting, guest blogging and other things that I feel work better for me.Maybe itäs best that way since I am one of those people trying to make the Internet better with quality content, and if I were to use article directories I would only post crappt articles, hehe.Anyways, have a great day! =)
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Well... remember this, quality stuff will never get lost in the world wide web, so whatever you have posted up online unless you delete it, it is going to be there for years to come... and it goes the same as writing articles for ezine. Just imagine 5 years from now, that you have written a quality article for ezine... and your article got about a 1000 views after five years which is very low... but can you really imagine what a 1000 view is all about? Is all about everything... buyers, mouth to mouth, social media and many more... so if you didn't write article on ezine.... just imagine how much traffic you have lost out after 5 years.... That is why writing articles is called a long term traffic strategy which is always use by pro's of any niche... so remember "it is not how fast you can get traffic to your site... it is how much you will get from the single article for years to come..."

    Hey Wong, great post. I was a big EZine Article writer and enjoyed that part of it. I always wrote quality articles though so I honestly believe this is a step in the right direction. Too many people were learning how to just "get by" with their content but no more. Guess this is everyone's wake up call. Glad to hear other people's take on this. Article marketing will never die! :-) Adrienne

      Ur right, article marketing can never die because people will not get bored in print... and this is really a wake up call for those who think quantity is the way to go... surely is not now....
  32. Alexis says:
    I absolutely agree with you. I even think Ezinearticles will come back stronger. Right now it's almost impossible to have a crap article approved there.When all articles submitted will have a better quality then the ranking will go up again. Good content is what makes internet useful.
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Yes, getting approval is much harder now in Ezine... and if people think by sibmitting span article is possible, I don't think so...
  33. jane says:
    Actually I find the new rules in ezine a pest. I believe in quality, but the amount of time it is taking to get an article approved now is considerable. Why not just submit to Go articles where they pick it up immediately?
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Having quality takes time and so does the editor in Ezine, as for Go articles... the audience is not as big as ezine and usually there are too many crappy articles in Go articles that just not formatted properly, I had not use since the start of this year....

    Earlier it was too difficult to get an article approved by Ezine editors . Each and every articles were hand picked, but over the time their editing standard become considerably degraded. Now the recent change in Google Algorithm compelled them to concentrate on quality- not quantity.
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Yes you are right, even I as an expert author doesn't have about 2 to 3 days to get approval, it usually take about a week or so... unless you are a paid subscriber and also a diamond author, which is very hard to get unless you are a well known professional in your field...

    It is about time that Google slapped down hard on article spam. If You looked at the statistics from the directories that were hit they were playing with fire. I hope that EzineArticles tightens its belt now and that article quality proves worthwhile reading. Kevin Foulds
  36. Andreas says:
    For me the problem with ezinearticles is that it is just too mixed, you find there all content from health issues to casino poker tips. If you really want to focus on quality content, then editors must be niche experts and know what their approving is really helpful and something that has not been posted before or just another rewrite. This is why posting to niche authority blogs is more helpful in my eyes.
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Actually, I had about 10 pen names in ezine which I wrote in 10 different niches... I personally think each pen name should focus on only one topic and never mix because it will show reader that you are an expert in the niche....
  37. Jayant says:
    Its really true that Google has lowered the SERP ranks of ezine articles due to being misused by many of the internet marketers. You always need to put your efforts in such a way that it does not make a big difference in a long way.
    • Wong Chendong aka The Bad Blogger says:
      Yes, quality is always important and like you said putting in effort in such a way is going to make your article a big difference in a long way.
