Xfactor Adsense Myths - The Updated Scoop

The "issue" some of the above posters are referring to is with their disbelief that writing articles for submission to EZA alone for backlinks is not enough to rank a site on the first page (or positions 1-5) in many cases.

I don't wish to stir up any more talk about this and sidetrack Johns thread, but here is my input on this matter:

1) If you do your keyword research right you will often find your sites land on page 1 even before you build any backlinks (even if it's only a initial/temporary ranking boost due to your sites infancy in the SERPs), and if this happens it's usually an indication that you're going to be able to sustain or increase a first page ranking with minimal backlinks.

2) In scenarios such as the above when you require very few links, links from a single "trusted" site such as EZA are often enough. In cases when you need more links, you'll need links from a greater diversity of sites/domains/IP addresses.

3 - (and probably the most important point)) It isn't just about getting the backlinks from EZA alone, it's about having your articles republished on other sites. EZA being the most popular article directory means that articles listed there are generally picked up and republished quicker, more often and more consistently than articles submitted to other directories (which are often merely spun, inferior-quality "duplicates" anyway and don't read as well).

Now, to elaborate on and reiterate the above point (which I'm not trying to pass off as fact, but in my own opinion, based off my own experience), what you write as well as how you write and submit your articles can make a huge difference.

Firstly, articles about very obscure topics will probably not be in as high demand as articles about very broad, popular topics such as health/fitness, dating, etc, and thus it's likely that articles about other topics will not be republished as much.

Having said that, categories containing articles on hot, in-demand topics are often much busier than other categories, and so any articles you submit will get "lost in the mix" much quicker.

In other words, whilst an article submitted to a relatively obscure sub category may remain on the first few pages for a relatively long time and thus likely get more exposure to those searching for them to republish, an article in a very hot subject category will often find itself being demoted to the higher page numbers in a quicker time, thus receiving less exposure and perhaps less likely to be found as easily by those seeking to republish them.

That is why if you're going to submit "high-demand articles" on popular topics, you have to be consistent in how you submit them. Submitting one or even 10 articles and then expecting to have them republished 1000 times and/or your site ranking in positions 1-5 on Google within 24 hours is simply not realistic. The more articles you have on there, and the more you submit consistently, the more exposure your articles will receive, the more times your articles are likely to be republished.

I can't say what the best way to submit them is in terms of time scales and what not, but I will say it's probably better to submit them more in a most consistent ongoing manner than either submitting 100 of them at once or submitting a handful and then not submitting any for a long time to come whilst you repeatedly check your rankings and backlink in Yahoo Site Explorer.

This is something that people don't seem to think about. They just sort of take one of two extreme approaches - throw their articles at the "wall" all at once or trickle them so finely and sparsely that the fruits of their efforts (or lack thereof) aren't as great as they could be.

I am endlessly amused at the amount of bandwidth nay-sayers will waste in claiming something WON"T work.
It has for me. It didn't for you (or did you actually attempt it...that's what I thought :rolleyes. I think the real issue is apparent.

To explain why he or she exist you need to first prove that he exists.

You can't because you can't and also because it's against the forum rules.

/argument please.

Clearly you've never taken a philosophy class.

I could shred your argument to pieces, but as you said this isn't a religious forum, we'll leave it be.
