is ezinearticles dead?

I find that it's not worth my time to submit stuff there unless you can do it auto and get a decent approve rate.

just like ezine, i think other articles directories are loosing their edge. I have already stop spinning articles and put my attention more into making videos

 

[MyWayOr]

its easier to make hour own content sites/blogs

No kidding on the Ezine editors..had to redo a simple article three times before they'd accept it...never again.

Why? Is google already able to "crawl" video content?

It's true EZA isn't what it used to be... 3 days of traffic, a decent backlink and then some. It does still provide trickles of traffic though and is best used as linkbait along w/ Articlesbase as autobloggers still scrape them. The direct link is nofollow and the autobloggers link is shit too but all in all it still has to hold weight.

I HATE article marketing. It's taken me nearly 3 years to see the light past an odd sale here/there to earning nearly daily. This is the time for us to think outside of the box/cubicle. This is the time we really are entrepreneurs and take whats worked for others and put our own little creative spin on it.

This is the time most of us had wet dreams about when we found IM and affiliate marketing. Some of us are lazy and braindead and liked the little do this, this and this and $$$. Them people trying to do the free route are going to have to go apply for jobs now.

We're in a recession right now my friends. They're saying it's an upswing. Hell, they even say crime rate is going down but I see more gruesome violence daily when I turn on the news or pick up the Chicago Sun-Times.

There were MILLIONAIRES made during the Depression. Those guys were innovative, not much but put spins on current shit out there and made it happen. Our "jobs" as entrepreneurs is to make that happen.

Provide value. Think outside the box, then outside it again. This isn't easy, but it's simple. If you were put on this earth to do this then you will finally thrive in the 2012 and beyond. If not McDonalds is always hiring

PS: Still submit a few of your rewritten articles, posts to EZA and at least AB when starting a new site, it's just promotion. Mew businesses advertise and so do our new websites.

I haven't even seen one ezine article rank high in Google lately. Is this just me, or have ezine seriously dropped in the serps?

 

[bewithme465]

Ezine articles is still best of best easily getting index in all search engines

 

[stressfree]

so if you write a good article is it best to submit it to several directories or do you need to spin that article and submit a differnet article to each directory?

since we are at this topic..did you guys notice that goarticles.com has N/A PR? LOL? I thought goarticles is one of the best contenders in the game..

Ezine articles is still a fine place to get a backlink. Your article just won't rank as well in the SERPs as it once did so`you can't rely on bonus traffic from the site. I never got bonus traffic because my Philipino girls don't entice people to read past the first line usually.

GoArticles is showing n/a for me too. I would assume it is a data unavailable thing and not a demotion.
