    Articles in EZA already..what's next step?

    I am going to cut through the b.s. for you here ... You need, in my humble opinion, 100 articles per affiliate product to have a viable presence on the web. This does not mean you will not get any sales, but if you have no sales, keep writing. Your first question is a good one. I go EZA...

    Isn't Article Marketing Just one Giant Leak & Energy Suck???

    I ahted to quote the whole post, but it was so relevant. I agree. There are articles I wrote a year ago that are still getting huge traffic and making sales, and I have done NOTHING to them since. The price we pay for using the article directories' sites is that they collect adsense...

    How to increase article submission efficiency? What practices do you use?

    It depends on the site you are submitting to. For instance, EZA would NEVER accept a keyword density of over 1.5% - 2% at the most. Other sites like AC do not mind 3% keyword density. I have been most successful on EZA 9reaching page 1) with 1% KD and 350 -500 words, keyword EARLY in title...
