Guys,
- I didn't vote many (few votes on few posts)
- I built backlinks crazily for only one post (for experiment - 8k - SB)
- I spun one article (with great sense) and submit 5 versions of it (I did this with two niches)
- I do put affiliate links in my post (php redirect, ~2 links/post)

All such things I did 1 month ago. Recently, I do nothing with that account and yesterday, there was a nice email from AB said I was banned.
I still don't know the exact reason. The account has 46 posts, not much really.

what I will do is.
- Create a long gmail address
- register multiple accounts
- Post no more than 20 posts/accounts

just started reading this thread yesterday.
im just a noob so here's what i did.
1. created account on article base
2. READ READ READ and READ stopwatch articles(LOL i found that its not that hard to write articles) as i was writing the article i was barely trying i just kept on writing hahah
3. find a picture of a not so pretty girl
4. created my article i used MSword for grammars and spellings
so here is my article hope it gets approve

Why is business leads important

I have been on the online business circuit for almost 3 years now, and yet I’m still having great trouble finding stable, willing to buy costumers for my businesses. I’ve heard about leads and what they are and find it very hard to do and waste lots of money, I’m sure some of you experienced this too.
Leads are people who are interested on anything that you would offer them too. Can you get the picture now; imagine hundreds of people waiting for you to release your brand new service or product. Rather than spending lots of money on advertisements that just won’t convert very well. On my offline business years I have experienced walking on the streets talking to people I don’t know selling them our new line of perfumes. Oh so much time and efforts wasted on my part.

My first year on this business was mainly on bulk mailing, which did not convert very well and I was also struggling just for the bills on my house. I would spend almost 24 hours a day in front on my computer and cash in not near to half a thousand bucks a month. I had to learn it the hard way because I had no one to teach me.

I resorted to buying eBooks and stuffs to learn more to improve my system, but none of the books I read had helped me. I do not blame those books for I know that the reason that things didn’t work out because I was very busy trying to learn new things and reading stuffs hoping to find the shortcut to success instead of getting right on to it and work very hard.
Finally I decided to change my attitude and look for an eBook about Leads. The first one I saw I instantly grabbed and read it and focused only on it. I have tried very hard, at first I was earning from little to nothing and was about to give up but I glad I kept on going hard instead of skipping it and looking for another technique.

As of today I’m having a good and stable income. I’m very glad that I made that decision, turned out that the shortcut that I was looking for was the reason I did not succeed.


If you would like to know about the lead technique I had read CLICK HERE

----------------------------------

im not very good at english and i know that my article is not staying on the topic haha. this is my first article and im hoping that it gets approve.

Well im not trying to show off here. im just showing that even a super noob like me can do it with just a little more practice and experience i know im good to go.

when i started reading StopWatchArticles i found out that the Talkative force is strong inside me maybe thats why this post is so long sorry for that.

Hi Everybody, Ronit from ArticlesBase

1) Regarding the redirect issue: we have noticed this issue happening to a few of our authors. Apparently a server between your side and ours has been compromised. We are contacting the networks involved, but since the problem is not on our servers the solution could take some time.
It could help us if you could send the results of the following command: (done via command prompt - start: cmd and enter)
tracert (here type our domain, i couldn't add it because of moderation)
Thanks for your cooperation.
2) CBnoob - didn't you get several articles rejected prior to your account being banned? I would really like to look into it. Send me an e-mail to ronit on articlesbase including the e-mail address used on this account ok?
3) Tvision10, indeed a great post We always encourage original and well written content, and you gave everybody a great incentive to do so. Keep it up!
Sorry but I have to show your multiple rating video to our tech team, although I've tested it on both Explorer and FF and couldn't recreate it. Perhaps it only works on Chrome?

All the best,

Ronit

nice post, can i know which is the correct gravity number to select a product?

Hello, great job with this. A minor note with some of your wording if I may..

"would spend almost 24 hours a day in front on my computer and cash in not near to half a thousand bucks a month."

Change to--

"would spend nearly 24 hours a day in front of my computer, and barely even hit the $500 mark by month's end.."

Just look for other words that may work better and keep sentences simple.

Keep up the great work!!

Okay.

SOME HOW, SOMEONE HAS GOTTEN INTO MY ARTICLESBASE ACCOUNT AND CHANGED MY PASSWORD, LOCKED ME OUT, AND HAS CHANGED EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY ARTICLES TO THEIR AFFILIATE LINK INSTEAD OF MINE.

They have also changed my author name from Katie White to "Katie Red".

The clickbank affiliate name they have changed my articles with is "BABYHUG"

I WILL PAY CASH TO ANYONE WHO FINDS THIS PERSON FOR ME.

I have already contacted my lawyer, Clickbank, Articlesbase, and a few IM hard-hitters whom you don't want to f*ck with, so if "babyhug" is reading this, just know your time will come to an end VERY soon.

You just messed with the wrong bull..

Wow, I guess the person had to be smart to be able to do this but really stupid to think they can cash in on this.

Yeah.. I have no idea how they got my password, but it's funny to me they think they're going to just take over my articles and not get banned by Clickbank for stealing MY sales and illegally gaining access through Articlesbase..

I heard above that Articlesbase's server was compromised.. maybe that's how this person got access.. Either way, I'm not letting this one slide..

This is exactly what I HATE about people.. Instead of taking this method, and putting in the hard work like I DID.. Why not just steal my articles (which took me months to complete) and make money off my work?.. F*cking sad..

Oh F*ck dude, that's bad.

Someone's still pissed at the eBook/PayPal decision?

Yep, and as I said, your method for upping votes is gone...brilliant.

BTW, what if article base goes down? Are you going to put articles on two or so more sites to expand your traffic control and stability?

WHOAAAA!!

that sucks major ty!!!
whoaaa!!! yeah you should easily be able to get him banned from CB
at the very least.....

I think I'm going to reinforce all my pw's

hope you get quick resolution ty

I know you said to use Facebook and Twitter, which I tried, but do you have any other suggestions about how to get initial views?

Also, does an article have to sit and age to start ranking for KWs?

I am not sure how to drive traffic to an article, but I would love to hear suggestions.

It is still up on YOUTUBE as of 10-18.

Regardless of the communications from AB, take it down.

Ty that sucks big time dude...

thanks very much for the tip Ty. i was having hard time on the part because i was trying to avoid using $$$ signs and numbers, i have no experience about articles but i have small experience on ********** marketing and i know that $$$ mostly triggers spam.

gonna get busy now making new articles

D.amn dude, great thread but wtf were you thinking outing your own s.hit... That's a cardinal rule of this biz. Even if/when you get your account back and fixed you're going to have the copycat army on your a.ss. I'd get rid of that vid pronto to start with, and see if ArticlesBase can give you a new account because anyone with half competent Google skills and this thread can find your s.hit.

Nice copywriting though, having done articles myself I appreciate the case study.

video taken down.

got 2 articles approved now. got 2 visits on my affiliate link...this is getting very exciting

They are auto approved man, as long as you don't put any picture in the post.

1200 hops, no sales... I'M A SAD PANDA!

1200 hops?! How many articles did you write?

I've written about 10 and spun each and every one of them a few times and submitted it. I didn't follow this method closely, so I'm not pointing fingers or blaming or anything... I'm just learning .

The articles simply referred to the vendors page with my affiliate link using a cloaked link.

Calm down panda.. It's normal for these things to happen. It can all depend on the product, day of the week, or a thousand other factors which can wreck your earnings. Just keep at it..

Hey, at least you didn't have an account with 100 high quality articles get stolen from you and replaced with someone else's affiliate link.. like I did!

Yeah... I'd be more of a suicide panda if that happened, heh.
Good luck with that!

i thought that articles are only approve if you already have 11+ more articles approved?

just submitted a new article it still says wait for 72 hours till approval..

after 2 hours my article got approved..now have 3 artilces online..

if articles are auto approve wont AB full of spam articles? just asking im a noob

Well, there is some good news here.. I went to some of my articles which are still up on articlesbase, (the ones from the account this guy "babyhug" stole from me) and when I clicked on the dude's hoplink, it took me to a blank page saying:

"The link you clicked on has expired. The link was created by an affiliate of the ClickBank network whom has since been deactivated or temporarily suspended. We apologize for any inconvenience!"

So at least Clickbank is doing their part to try and stop this guy from making sales off MY work..

Yeah they do start to auto approve after you have submitted a certain number of articles. I guess after you have submitted a certain amount they don't think that you are the type that will spam.

I am just wondering how fast sales will drop if I decide to take a few days off.

thanks

mind to answer my question? thanks and I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get that butthole that stole your account. I guess I will see that as a lesson to stay way under the radar...

Depending on whether you do a product launch or not, the sales usually stay pretty steady. But with the digital goods market, particularly with ebooks, the amount of hops/sales can go up and down. This can be due to economic trends, holidays, certain days of the week, whether someone got sex or not the night before.. a whole bunch of things.. Heck, just this past week my sales dropped horribly, yet my hops stayed the same.. But I would suggest you stay on top of it and take no more than a day or two off, and then work overtime on the day you come back to make up for it.

Of course sales will drop as new products continue to come out, this is why it's very important to choose the ones that you know will continue to make money down the road.

This method has the potential to make a lot of money, the only trade off is that you've got to continuously work at it daily. But hey, anything of worth takes work, and it's better than flipping burgers for 8 hours or working on the street corner..

Best of luck

Thanks for writing this up. It should help me really well .

well I'm about ready to post my 1st article...

I too will keep you guys informed of the results, but like I've read it's
not a "magic fix" it may take a number of articles and some time to work.
Especially because I have no experience in this area...

The "magic" for me was I was intending to embark on this anyhow
at this point in time, Ty just happen to have this thread at my
"magic" moment.....well, I may "slide around in the mud" for a while
but will keep my head to the grindstone nevertheless

But I have determined I will give it a go and stick with it

Hali~! (ty hope you got your "stuff" back!)


PS: ty, if you happen to have the answer to the question below;


about the title of an article specifically the portion after the hyphenation

"product name/author - How to market your own widget"

and if those few words that follow "how to market your own widget" if any "keyword searching" needs to be conducted there? or whether we simply "use our own judgment" ? your addressing that point would be much appreciated! after asking the question 3 times, this being the 3rd time, then I give up asking! giggles!!

Amazing - i shal adopt this method - in fact i have already started!

Hey there, yeah I'm sorry for taking so long at answering questions. It's been one of those weeks for me..

As to your question, just like the beginning of the title, I will also do maybe a little research on the second phrase, and use maybe some keywords that may increase the articles ranking. Mind you some titles wont need any extra phrase, but just use your sense.

Good ones are -- "Is it a scam?" -- "Does it make money?" -- "Does it work?"

These are phrases many users will search for when researching a product. Just think of phrases you would use and throw something together.

Ty I have to thank you...

you have been sooo helpful
and the appreciation I have is huge!

I just hope your get your "stuff" back
and realize you have that to deal with as well

so thank !!! thank you!!!


you're an tvision!




Hali~!

(and don't be afraid to hit me with a "thanks" Giggles!

Remember it gets lonely here in "Uranus" !! It's stinks too!!!!

viry with a pic of check and your username on there..

Hey guys, i want to try this as well. BTW, tyler, when you create fake female account, what's best to write in bio box, i mean the background, a mother, student or what? Beside articlebase, is there any better article directory? Bec articlebase has joined this forum LOL.

I do not see what the big deal is all about with this method. It has been done before a thousand different ways with every directory out there. Is this just one big add for article base???. Why would using article base be such a revolutionary approach. Sure it is easy to get articles approved but your not going to rank more then the other article sites. Just don't get what is so impressive with this method that has been done to death. Also as it is now only the op is the one claiming to have made any money.

Yes. This is the only flaw of this system.

just got 3 more articles approve..last two days i remembered that i am very scared of writing articles. now now im making articles in less than 10 minutes.. f*cking awesome!!

thanks to Ty and StopWatchArticle


lol i sound like a fake comment for a product hahaha

in my opinion its already perfect. because it makes us noobs work hard learning each time we do something instead of having it spoonfeed doing some easy things that gets saturated anyways that the next day it wont work anymore

Well, maybe what troybh said is true. I see top articles were posted like 2 years ago or more. To get it rank well and be seen by millions of people is the hardest part.

Yep.. You got me.. This is a big ad for Articlesbase..

No one said this is some "revolutionary method sent from Jesus.." however it is the method I use, and so I figured I'd share it. Horrible right? As for "not getting ranked any higher than other article sites."

Wrong. You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

You know why this method has been done to death? Because it works. And I am just a speck in regards to the amount of people making steady money with it. I have spoken with many people, both on and off this forum that have made great money with this method. Heck, I got a message from a user who made his first 3 sales EVER within 2 days, after reading my thread and getting to work.

I wouldn't waste my time if this didn't work, but the fact is, people are going to read reviews and make purchases based off of them. The only difference is whether it's going to be me profiting off that sale or you..

Best wishes
