This is a great point. There’s a great trade we make with EzineArticles for the content we provide. That’s lots of highly visible links with resource boxes pointing back at our sites. It’s a huge win and is a great incentive to provide QUALITY content in the form of articles.

Although I must admit that when I peruse all the article titles within a catagory I have submitted to I get a sense of overwhelm, but I then focus on the unique take I have on my subject and my commitment to write the best quality article I can muster (within time constraints ;-) ).

Not into the realm of volume yet, regularity being the first goal. My utilization of the site’s benefits are different than I have seen discussed and may be a generally unrecognized value. I have predominately been using my published articles to support my marketing plan on a local, grassroots level. I do not yet have an internet biz to directly reap mentionable profits from my online exposure but am receiving much value as I stoke the fires of my local biz and build an internet platform. My SE rankings will come into play in due time. Thanks for the opportunity!

Chris –

I think I understand what you’re getting at here. If the originators and franchisers of McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Burger King, Carl Jr.’s, Roy Rogers, Arby’s, In ‘n Out Burger etc. looked around and said, “No way, the fast food category is way to congested…” they’d never be the fast food empires they are today.

Same goes for our article topic categories.

Exactly!

It’s no small coincidence that there is almost always a Burger King kitty-corner to every McDonalds.

Great observation. :-)
