Gaining More Traffic From Your Articles at Ezinearticles.com

Recently like alot of people my click through ratio at ezinearticles has decreased meaning I have less traffic coming to my sites and offers then i use to. Alot of people including myself feel it is the new adsense ad layout that is underneath the article title. It is now 3 large ads smack dab under your title, i think alot of people see them and click away before they read your articles.

I figured there had to be a way to get people to notice my article instead of the ad boxes. I came up with a simple but so far effective way to get the readers eyes to my articles.To test this theory i started a new pan name account under my main account at ezinearticles.

What I tried was For every article i put a bold headline In bold italics right at start of the article. The headline was written like a question the reader my want to find the answer to.

For example for the weight loss niche the headline could be-

"Do You Want To Lose That Last Five Pounds Fast?"

I also did some resource box tweaking and with this new account I have 40 live articles since April 28th and have 2099 views and 520 click through for a CTR of 25%. This CTR is with a few articles not having my new resource box layout and dragging it down slightly. I actually have one article with a CTR of 65%!!!!

My next post will be on what I am doing to get those 25% CTRS on my new account as opposed to the 16% my main account with just under 600 articles has.

Clickbank Article Marketing-April 2009 Earnings Update

Well its been awhile since i posted last on my progressbut i wanted to report my earnings for April. It was not a very good month. Total profit for the month was $296.88

I did get hammered with an unusual amount of returns in April. The returns amounted to $85.90 so the actual sales for the month were $382.78 but the returns just pulled me down.

I kind of took it real easy in April and did not write that many articles. I am starting again and the sales for the month of May so far are $202.92 with no returns so far this month. So it appears as long as the articles are flowing out the money comes in.

I did have my biggest day online in May as well $73 and change from clickbank and $24 from another affiliate sales through paypal.

I am starting to think that this method of redirecting my domain to the merchants sales page may only have so much potential unless you have thousands of articles out there.

With that said I may switch over to CPA or actual products and article market those and see what happens.

I started to mess with squidoo and try and promote a product ont here. Hopefully that will go well and i will report back on that in the future.

Sorry for the short post but its nice here in Wisconsin and i gotta run outside and play with my kids!

Article Marketing Clickbank Products Update

Well the month of January was OK total sales for that month were $305.03 Not that great but much better then when i started out. February is starting out great. I started promoting a new product that pays out over $20 per sale and over $40 if they buy the up sell. I sold 4 a the end of January so that helped boost the earnings.

So far a few have bought the up sell and sales so far for February are $65.06 which makes me feel pretty good considering it is only the third day of the month so i feel i should easily pass last months $300 mark.

The new product i am promoting i have been using article marketing, and a few other free methods like blog comments and craigslist so it has really not cost me anything to increase my earnings accept time. I am averaging about a sale per 150 hops which to me is not to bad.

I did accomplish getting to #1 author in my first niche and having 11 out of 15 spots in the most viewed articles section at ezinearticles which i am sure is helping to fuel sales of the older product i promoted. I have 132 live articles for the product I am promoting.

My goal is to have at least 3-4 good campaigns up this year to help increase my income, i am going to stick to things people like and need. Weight loss, make money and maybe one more that i have yet to decide.

Simple Article Marketing Trick That Will Double Your Traffic

Something that i started to do recently was to target two or even three keywords in my articles i submit to www.ezinearticles.com. It has really driven more traffic to my Adsense pages more then a single keyword article ever could.

To do this i go the the free Google keyword tool and find my first keyword. I shoot for medium competition with this keyword with under 20,000 competing pages when searched in quotes

The next keyword i try for slightly less so maybe 10,000 competing pages when searched in quotes.

I will then use these two keywords in the title and try and keep the keyword density the same for each keyword. I like to keep it at 1-1.5%

I put the keyword with the most search competition first in the title.

The results have been literally amazing, the article traffic has doubled and my earnings got a slight bump. Plus it is very easy to do. I am currently going back over some old articles t modify them in this manner.

I wish i had started doing this when i first started article marketing and for the life of me I cannot figure out why i didn't?
