I’ve noticed that in recent months it is getting harder and harder to get noticed due to the competition on the site.

Sometimes an article posted will last barely a few minutes on page 1 for its category.

Any ideas what to do Chris?

Way-to-go Chris!
Very impressive and a sound endorsement of EzineArticles. I have found it works for me in terms of referrals but I’ve just converted an article on Business Plans to an e-book so we’ll have to see how that converts. I’ll be revising the links to the new website and hope that works.
Is “more articles” the only way to get lots more qualified traffic?
Keep up the good work,

Chris,

Ignore the competition and DRIVE forward with new articles daily or weekly.

You don’t need to be on page 1 of our main home page nor page 1 of our category view for your niche to have any meaningful difference in terms of how much traffic your articles receive…despite most people not believing me.

Take a longer-term viewpoint: How much traffic does each of my articles receive per YEAR; not the 10 days after it’s posted.

Chris,

Thanks for the updated data and the reminder to increase inventory. Even though I am relatively new on the site, I am pleased with the response to my articles so far. I will be doing more.

I love writing and posting articles but I guess I thought more people might click through to my site. I have a lot of views and even published which is great, but few clicks to my site. I was hoping for more.

Terrific writing on EzineArticles. The clicks come along. Hoping for more is not a bad thing —- but writing more and sharing information is what it’s all about. The clicks came along.

Article marketing may be the best investment I’ve EVER made in my business! I’m constantly repurposing the articles and delivering them to my prospects and customers.

In fact, I can safely say that he who has “the content” controls the niche. No one posts more info than I do in my niche. Which makes me the expert in the eyes of those who read my articles.

Article marketing rules!!

Liz,

You may want to consider adding something in your resource box to entice your readers to your site. Perhaps a free report or an excerpt from one of your books. People love free stuff! ;-)

Chris,

Sorry, no.

We have high pre-qualified TRAFFIC to offer.

I don’t know your content creation costs, but I’m guessing that no one else on the market can send you traffic for the cost per click that we are sending you…

ie: Zero cost per click (in terms of vendor costs alone)

By now, you probably know your cost per article created and submitted… with our goal to continue delivering you traffic that makes it worth your time to create and submit more articles.

For me, EzineArticles delivers way more clicks to my sites than Google does.

In any case, I’m glad that I switched my primary marketing channel from Adwords to article marketing. Otherwise, I shudder to think of how much money I would have lost in PPC costs.

I wonder if EzineArticles can provide the average CTR for each category/subcategory. Chris has said that the average CTR for EzineArticles as a whole is 10%, but a little more detail would greatly help me to fine tune things like my resource box.

[Reply]

Christopher M. Knight writes:

Calvin,

Yeah, if you think about it, our 5.1 million clicks delivered equals somewhere between $255,000 to $5.1 million in PPC value to our members, depending on what the value of those clicks were per niche.

We don’t have any plans at this time to share the per-niche CTR.

Also, I never said it was 10%… not sure where you saw that?

Over the past year, I’ve been saying it’s been averaging 2-12% CTR for most members.

If you’re getting towards the higher end of that CTR percentage, at some point, you’ll want to move from an *optimization* mode to a *new content production* mode.

I fear a lot of members spend way too much time on optimization and not enough time on new article production.

Congratulations! EzineArticles is wildly popular, and for good reason. I want, very much, to write and submit more articles, but my websites and blogs keep me so busy that I’m not left with much time.

That’s why I’m going to sit down in a few minutes and draw out a daily schedule. I’m going to schedule an hour each day for “article writing” and do nothing within that hour but write articles and drink coffee.

Favorite pies? I’ve never tried rhubarb, but I’m going to have to, now. My faves are chocolate meringue, coconut, pecan, apple, pumpkin, and sweet potato. (I think I’ll surprise my husband with a pecan pie when he gets home from work.)

Congrats again and thanks for the motivation. I needed a kick in the pants.

Calvin Loh writes:

Chris,

I believe you’re right. If I recall correctly, you gave a range value for the ctr in some of your interviews, and I latched on 10% as a number somewhere in the middle of the range you stated. After all, 10% is so much easier to remember and aim for than 2-12%.

>>If you’re getting towards the higher end of that CTR percentage, at some point, you’ll want to move from an *optimization* mode to a *new content production* mode.

Yes, after a forced 2 month break from serious article writing, I’m back with renewed energy. I’m now aiming for 1 article every 2 days, spread out among my various niches and other activities. Those authors who create 2, 3, 4 or even 10 articles a day are just incredible. I really wonder how they manage it. Really feel both curious and envious.

And everybody else here. It’ll be Valentine’s Day in just 2 days. I’m really hoping everyone will lighten up and let those hearty juices flowing, in the form of articles of course, say in topics of romance in the 21st century probably..?

Hi Chris.

Thanks for your reminder about the quality and volume of traffic you send to our websites each month. I dare say the quality is even better than search engines because people usually come to my sites after reading at least some of my content, not just because they caught a glimpse of a headline and a keyword.

I’ve been falling down lately with a few hiccups, like over-stuffing one article with too many keywords. I’m trying to remember what the ‘heck’ was I thinking at the time. Never mind though. Your editors straightened me out in no time and got me right back on track.

thanks again for the best article publishing service online.

All the best,
Anthony

Chris and the entire EzineArticles Team!

Congrats! 5.2M clicks in one month is no mean feat. Your work is paying off to benefit authors who write and submit articles to your site.

“How much traffic does each of my articles receive per YEAR; not the 10 days after it’s posted.”

Frankly, this is my main reason for using article marketing as my main internet marketing method.. even though I’m not yet happy with the amount of articles I’m consistently writing yet.

When I first started out, I used traffic exchanges and hated the idea that if I didn’t ‘clcik, click, click’ any one day, I would not generate any new traffic to my site.

With articles, the marketing rewards are as permanent as can be on a medium as amorphous as the internet.

Ha! Increased the clicks from 5.1M to 5.2M above! No worries…. you’ll be doubling shortly anyhow. ;-)

Judy,

Here is your BestEzines link:
http://bestezines.com/?The-Book-Coach-Says&id=13843

…but it will most likely be wiped out when we sweep next (periodically throughout the month we eliminate duplicates) because it’s a duplicate of one you submitted November 11th 2005;
http://bestezines.com/?The-Book-Coach-Says…&id=340

Tell me which one we should purge, otherwise our system is always set to purge the NEWEST entry …thereby preserving the old entry that is most likely indexed by others.

Please delete the 11th 2005 entry- old

and leave the recent one up.

Thanks Chris,

Hi Chris:
One of the happiest moment of my life was getting my first article published in EzineArticles.
I am submitting another one because I saw a few hundreds of visitors in a very short time. It has been a challenge for me since my mother tongue is Spanish, but the publishing and educational rewarding experience.
Thanks
Hector

This actually is a great experience for me and I didn’t mean anything to sound negative. This is a great site. To get published is amazing and really I am still new at this. Haven’t been here very long. It is a great way to share and learn from others. I was stating a wish about the clicks and that’s ok cause that’s one of the reasons I keep on keeping on. But I also realize it’s just a terrific experience. And I thank you for the support.
