I simply couldn’t be more pleased… so if it really picks up when you get 20, 30, 50, or 100 articles, it’s really going to rock for me! Guess I need to get to writin’ huh?

In fact, as I approach one hundred submissions, Google Analytics tells me that thirty per cent of my traffic is arriving via Ezine.

I have absolutely no doubts whatsoever of the value article submission provides - but with one caveat, I do not believe I would achieve the same return on my investment from any other site.

It’s very satisfying to hear that EzineArticles is a top referring traffic provider or at least one of the top referral providers for many of our authors.

This is by design and one of the outcomes we had for our site and business model because we know if we send you highly qualified traffic, you’ll continue to submit quality original articles to us and tell your friends to as well. :-)

Many people don’t realise that it’s quite easy to get an article submitted to Ezinearticles ranked on the first page of Google or MSN, if you choose the right keyword phrase with low enough competition and optimise the article for that.

I have an article optimised for the phrase: “Celebrity Hairstyles of 2006″ which was published on the 17th November and today being the 30th its been number 1 in MSN for that phrase for over a week, and I think about 7 or so in Google now. It’s had 1250 views in just 2 weeks!

Nevertheless I noticed a really huge bump at about 100 and then another at 250. After that it is all sky baby!!!
