http://ezinearticles.com/?How-To-Ask-A-Girl-Out—3-Simple-Steps-That-Every-Guy-Must-Do!&id=773977

This articles has given me a lot of sales…I think it is too bad for newbie like me in affiliate business.

Thanks for Ezinearticles that is so powerful than any other article directories in this world…

Simplicity works. My article “If You’re in Sales – Stop Selling” provides a simple and practical message to anyone in sales. While it had a strong number of views, it the one article that did very well with the Ezine Publishers being picked up 55 times.
Salesopedia.com enjoyed over one million page views in it’s first year thanks in part to the hundreds of links from EzineArticles.

If that isn’t enough to win an iPod, Chris Knight is right above me on the expert authors list, that has to count for something … doesn’t it? I think it should. :)

Ezine Articles is my favorite article website to submit to, hands down.

I love writing articles, it helps me unwind and feed my passion. After a year and a half of writing, my ego was overwhelmed in receiving a 5 star rating on one of my articles on this site, for the first time http://ezinearticles.com/?Sports-Drinks—Safe-Alternatives-or-Junk-Food?&id=790027

I celebrated by doing a little appreciation dance. I strive to bring more useful information content to this site, to help empower like minded individuals.

My six months experience with Ezine has been quite amazing! 350 articles have been published with over 26,000 viewings. Whether people read the entire articles of course is a different matter.

The Top Viewing has been “The Facts Surrounding The Birth of Jesus Christ“, although one or two on “Leadership” come close.

I have no Web Page. I have nothing to sell. But I do believe I have something important to share. Articles have appeared under various categories – Religion -Leadership – Inspiration – Motivation – Positive – Health – Ethics – and even Science.
This morning I am viewing on Television the riots from Kisumu in Kenya, where I have taught twice at Pastors and Leaders Seminars.

Should I continue writing and submitting articles for Ezine? Do they make a difference? What questions for New Year’s Day 2008.
Warmest greetings.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the fun little contest and a Happy New Year to you and your staff.

Your e-mail said you wanted our most productive article upon reviewing my stats I am a little confused is that most views, clicks, or published? All are important in their own ways and I do not seem to have a clear stand out in all three areas. My most viewed by a 100% has the least clicks and published articles. My most published and clicked has the one of the least viewed.

I suppose it would matter what one was after in their article writing ventures. I think for me it is two fold both backlinks and traffic are important and as this is my first year with Ezinearticles my stats do not tell a very complete picture. One other area that is important for me is to be an expert in at least one area so the articles that move me to the highest author rating in a particular subject matter is highly important to me and there for I would have to go with the following article:

http://ezinearticles.com/?Tracking-Your-Article-Submissions-a-Way-to-Maximize-Your-Traffic-Part-I&id=671267

Thanks and a great New Year to all the best for 2008,

My favourite is http://ezinearticles.com/?Weed-Control-Basics-UK—A-Quick-Read&id=341046. I wrote it because so many people spend a ridiculous amount of time on weeding instead of sitting back and enjoying their gardens. All because they don’t know the basics.

So I hope my article helps people realise that a garden is not a problem and gardening is not difficult.

[Reply]

Funnily enough, my favourite and most popular article is the first one I ever wrote – http://ezinearticles.com/?Tofu-For-Baby—-How-This-Amazing-Food-Can-Benefit–Your-Babys-Diet&id=133821
It has been published on many other sites and I have had lots of positive feedback about it. For such a long time, parents believed that food for their babies had to be bland and boring, but that’s changing now and I love sharing my adventurous recipes with my visitors.

I love it when parents write to me and say that they had difficulty feeding their babies, then they tried something they’d seen on my site and their little ones happily tucked in! I had a lot of this type of feedback from this article, from parents who had never even thought about giving their babies tofu – then discovered that they really loved it!

Happy New Year to all!

How does one define “favorite?” If we do it by popularity, my article “Sexuality in Midlife and Beyond,” is surely #1. That one article generated hundreds of hits within 48 hours of publication, and is currently my top read article with 561 hits since it was approved on 12/22/07.

Yet, my article “Leave No Child Inside: Reconnecting Children and Nature,” which was posted on 12/19/07 has had the most hits by ezines.

And what I find even more interesting, is that the traffic patterns here are considerably different than the traffic patterns for articles on my own blog.

It reminds me of the polling process for Presidential candidates. Where you stand depends on where you sit.

More than anything, I appreciate the opportunity to share my articles with those who are looking for them through ezinearticles.com.

As a writer, I write to make a difference in the lives of others. And without readers, a writer stands in a vacuum. Like the sound of one hand clapping.

So, it is wonderful to have this forum to find the other hands, so that together we can clap into a joyful applause!

Heartfully,

My favorite and most visited article of 2007 was Preconception Basics – Three Basic Fertility Rules. This one was also actually one of the easiest ones I have written in a long time.

Nothing thrills me more than getting that email that says “thanks to your information, we are finally pregnant!” That is the true prize for me, making a couple happy.

I hope you all are having a wonderful New Year.

My favorite article of 2007 was http://ezinearticles.com/?Preparing-to-Homeschool-High-School—A-Moms-Review-of-a-New-DVD-Workshop&id=798529. In it I review a great dvd set by someone who has become a personal friend through going back and forth on other projects surrounding this one. I just love win/win situations and so I was jazzed to see that this article had received the most views and URL clickthroughs. That means that both she and I received traffic AND the readers also won by finding a source of information that is truly excellent.

[Reply]

The best one was http://ezinearticles.com/?Vision-and-Finding-Ones-Voice—The-Act-of-Becoming&id=861248

Though it was published with 4 other articles, I believe it was this one that in turn produced the most results.

This article I wrote from my heart. It was my attempt to reach and inspire those people who were hurting and give them hope for the future. When I read it again just a few minutes ago, I broke out in tears, only because I know that it addresses our wishes and hopes to do well in life. It was actually an awesome experience to read it again.

[Reply]

Unquestionably my favorite article that I have submitted to E-zine Articles so far was the one entitled “SEO: Interstellar Web Travel or Affordable Custom Website Design En Casserole.” This was my most popular article to date, being picked up by multiple other sites, but for whatever reason, it retained its own position in the search engines much longer than any of my other articles have. It is also the only article I have written to date where people took the trouble to seek me out and comment about the article.

There is a lesson to be learned from this article beyond whatever instructional value there is concerning SEO, and that is that this particular article was certainly both more creative and more fun than most of the other stuff I have written. So the lesson seems to me to be when you’re doing something you enjoy and allowing your creative juices to flow it will be a better overall experience.
Best of luck in 2008!

Happy New Year everyone!

If there is any doubt that you “get it”… check out this email that came in after we announced the contest:

“I’m LOST Here.None Of My Articles Were Published Because They Were Ads.Yet,Here You’re Asking Which Of My Articles Worked As The Best Advertising….WHAT Am I Missing ????????”

I’ll send this person a nice note that the ARTICLE BODY is where you “GIVE” and the RESOURCE BOX is where you “TAKE”. Such a simple concept that still eludes many.

Article Writing For Marketing purposes is all about LEAD generation through demand generation, but direct advertising it is not. It’s more indirect. PULL instead of PUSH.

Fellow writers,

Can I say I just love this site and have read some great articles over the last year. I have had some great feedback on some of my articles. The article that blew me away for page views (36,500) and clicks to my site (4,189) with a five star rating (yay!) was about he largest medically recorded penis.

http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Largest-Medically-Recorded-Penis-In-The-World&id=606660

I know it is not the best of subjects but found that people were looking for that information so decided to find a definitive answer rather than some of the other disinformation out there on the web.

Thanks ezinearticles and happy writing in 2008.

Cheers

I adore writing. It is how I nourish my soul and breath. I haven’t made a million dollars off what I’ve written nor had tons of referrals for my coaching skills. I’ve not had newspapers contact me to post my articles. What I DO know is that every single person who has read every one of my articles has been impacted somehow by what I’ve written. Now if THAT isn’t a powerful gift, I don’t know what is. I take great respect in the words I put down and am honored to have the skill to do so.
It was hard to choose my favourite article.
The one that received the most “reads” was http://ezinearticles.com/?No-Such-Thing-as-an-Unfair-Fight&id=727725
My favourite one was http://ezinearticles.com/?No-Such-Thing-as-Keeping-Your-Options-Open&id=886683

My best article should win the award and I will tell you why. It is written about helping todays youth, and todays dilemma of underfunded schools and programs. HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS, NEW ENGLAND IS ROLLING OUT THE CARPET is the title.

The article was written a few months ago and I had many hits. However more exciting- last week it was republished as a GOOGLE headline- I received many contacts since about it and am really pleased so many feel sports are an important aspect of todays world, and the betterment of todays youth.

This was my best article for several important reasons. It was about a rare (but benign) illness which had afflicted me for a few years. I later developed a food supplement for other illnesses that, serendipitously, cured this distressing condition. As it is a very rare illness, very little is known about its cause or treatment therefore it was an ideal niche subject for an ezine article.

It was read by far more people than all my other articles and brought a large amount of traffic to my website. It also helped to place my website very high in the search engine rankings for several appropriate keywords.

Being a medical doctor it was great to be able to reach out to so many people who could benefit from my product and the information on my website.

It was also gratifying to see how powerful the submission of a good, niche related article through ezinearticles.com can be.

As a newbie to Ezine Articles I decided to write on a variety of relationship topics to see what readers were interested in. My third article on Relationship/Affairs: What the Person Who is in an Affair Wants You to Believe had by far the most views and URL clicks.

Writing articles is a whole new venture for me. The views count and URL clicks have been a useful barometer of what interests readers. Articles which I thought would be useful and popular have had surprisingly few views. Thus I can say that my third article has been my favorite because it has taught me to always pay attention to what the reader cares about.

This site allows us to share our life experience and knowledge with others. What good is knowledge unless we share it? Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to do so.

The article of mine that seemed to attract the most attention was:

http://ezinearticles.com/?Time-For-A-New-Costume?&id=793897

My purpose is to improve someone’s life every day. This article was the vehicle for me to fulfill that according to a viewer.

The comments left really say it best, here’s just a portion of what a viewer shared with me:

“But today, between you and my old friend, I am moving closer to the me I want to be. Thank you for your wonderful writing! Today you have encouraged one – me! Thank you!”

Just eleven months ago, I didn’t know I could be a published author. Then someone told me about EzineArticles.com I can’t describe the elation of having that first article published. Thank you.

Since then, I’ve been developing a website, writing an ebook, blogging and writing more articles. I’ve used the article resources on Ezine to answer my questions on developing an online business.

Surprisingly, my most posted article was about a most enjoyable afternooon we spent in Memphis at Mud Island. Our Las Vegas travel tips was the second most popular.

Thank you for providing this wonderful service for all of us!

Hi Chris,
My two best articles were: “How to Teach Classroom Mathematics” and “Al-Gebra and Illuminati Links Discovered“. In other directories, the last one was definitely first. Although the number of visitors to my website increased considerably, it has not produced more sales.

Reason? Well, Chris does not allow to present negative conclusions, so I obey his rules.
In spite of this, I am impressed by the amount of work Chris does to us, the writers.
Well done Chris!
HAPPY AND SUCCESSFUL NEW YEAR

My favorite article this year helped sell my book Flip That House with FAUX. I was surprised at the number of views which happened so quickly for “Fireplace Mantle Information – New Ideas to Update Ugly Fireplaces.” http://ezinearticles.com/?Fireplace-Mantle-Information—New-Ideas-to-Update-Ugly-Fireplaces&id=679947 This article drove a lot of traffic to my website, which tells the story of my husband’s sudden death during the filming of Flip That House. The TV show gave my children a terrific tribute to their father.

Chris, the ONLY reason that we were featured on Flip That House is because of my article on flipping houses:
http://ezinearticles.com/?A-Beginners-Guide-to-Flipping-Houses&id=4317 The producer found me by a search and called me. She said that I was all over the Internet for “flipping houses.”

The article with the most views (2,233 since August), “Real Estate Market Update for Fall 2007 and Forecast 2008,” is helping me make money today with a REO teleseminar.
http://ezinearticles.com/?Real-Estate-Market-Update-for-Fall-2007-and-Forecast-2008&id=674599

Since I have three children in college, it’s great that I can make money off just a few articles.

Thank you for enriching our lives. I am so grateful for being on the TV show. Not many kids get to have a professional DVD of their dad and our grandchildren will get to know their grandfather.

Listing you in my Gratitude Journal,

Jeanette

Wow. It is hard for me to pick one out of my 10 articles to be classified as the best achiever because the 10 articles published by EA has been performing equally-well. They have got almost equal number of views and almost equal number of publishing by ezine publishers. However, since I have to name one as the best I would say my latest article entitled “Guiding Young Internet Users” as the best and the quickest achiever. It has obtained the most views out the 10 articles I have submitted to EA. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Chris and his support staff for providing this prestigious forum for authors from all over the world. And thanks also for having accepted all my articles.

[Reply]

Having been selected as a beauty contest judge before, picking one’s best achiever is difficult because each of my best six has a different benchmark–which is why I write in the first place.
The day the pride of peacocks danced for the autistic child’s birthday is a personal milestone of spiritual communion–evidenced by the many publishers that have run with the article since. Personally, the cancer-proofing of our immune systems is a medical alarm bell that could not ring sooner. However, since Chris has posted his guidelines, I will throw the best six (statistically) in a hat and let the hand of fate pick one, since all six of my 30 meet his criteria:
(1) So You Think I Am Crazy Because I Apologized to a Peacock?
(2) How To Cancer Proof Your Immune System!
(3) In The Bulls Eye Of Untruth, Even Lies That Miss Hurt!
(4) Perishable Pens Maul Mighty Men’s Swords – Sometimes!
(5) Discover How a Five-Course Lunch With a Vagrant Changed My Life Forever.
(6) Tomb of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Jesus–Historical Fact & Doctrinal Enigma!

As I open the crumpled pieces of paper, slowly I unfold one only. DRUMROLL PLEASE: The selected piece is–(1) So You Think I Am Crazy Because I Apologized to a Peacock.

Well Chris–even the hotel where the little boy vacationed is in love with the article.

My favorite article is one entitled Is your Spouse Cheating? – 21 Ways to Tell http://ezinearticles.com/?Is-Your-Spouse-Cheating?—-21-Ways-to-Tell&id=763430 because in the less than 3 months since I posted it on it has been viewed over 3385 times and I have received hundreds of requests for the tip sheet that I offer at the end entitled 10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Signs of Infidelity,

As an infidelity expert who is frequently called on by the media to comment on infidelity issues in the news, I wrote the article illustrate to suspicious spouses and significant others that rather than relying on the so-called top 10 signs of infidelity, they should actually look at 21 areas of concern if they want to accurately assess whether or not their mate is cheating. Infidelity is far too serious a situation to make a determination from a mere 10 signs because there are more than 10 factors involved.

This article and the tip sheet mentioned drive home that fact.

A lesson learned – write about what interest people and peek their curiosity.

Apparently romance is challenging for everyone, and long distance relationships are even more so. despite writing articles about several topics this past year, my article entitled, “The Challenges of Long Distance Relationships” has by far received the most hits. It just goes to show that while love makes the world go round, it takes a lot of work to get there.
