Link To Your EzineArticles Profile

Here’s a simple trick for anyone doing article marketing via EzineArticles or any other similar site: bookmark your profile for added linking benefits.

On EzineArticles, you become an “Expert Author” once an article you submit has been accepted for publication. (Which is not automatic, by the way — EzineArticles has strict editorial guidelines.) You get a profile page and are listed in EzineArticles’ list of expert authors. Here’s the link to my profile: Eric Giguere – EzineArticles.com Expert Author.

As you can see, the profile page lists all of your articles. (I don’t have a lot of articles under my real name, I have them spread out under different pseudonyms — a perfectly acceptable practice supported by EzineArticles as long as you’re not out to deceive anyone).

The important thing to note is that EzineArticles profiles are indexed by Google and carry PageRank. My own profile, for example, currently has a PR of 1. This gives all my articles a small PR boost, which is great. If I can increase the PR of my profile, of course, my articles will get an even larger PR boost.

There are many authors out there who benefit from a high-PR profile page. Type this query into Google and see for yourself:

site:ezinearticles.com "ezinearticles.com expert author"

For example, author Alison Cole has a PR 4 profile, which is obtained from a combination of article volume (over 1000 articles published on EzineArticles, each one of which links back to the profile page) and many links back to the profile page, most of which are from sites that republish Alison’s articles.

A combination of positive PR and careful choice of keywords can result in your articles ranking in the top positions on Google.

This is why linking to your EzineArticles profile is a good thing — it boosts the rankings of all your articles (in the long term). Spend an hour or two bookmarking (in the generic sense) your profile. This could include:

A related technique is to take your EzineArticles RSS feed (here’s mine) and adding it to some RSS aggregators and directories.

Of course, you should also be bookmarking your individual articles as well. And doing everything you can to encourage others to republish those articles (there will always be people who scrape the articles and republish them without attribution, which is unfortunately, but most are republished with links back to the article source).

And, above all, keep writing and submitting articles! At some point you’ll reach a critical mass that propels your traffic numbers up significantly. Of course, not everyone knows how to benefit from that traffic, but that’s a topic for another day.

    Thanks for the tip. I have been using Ezine Articles for a while but never though about bookmarking my profile.

  2. David on January 23rd, 2009 10:33 am

    I also do this on Ezine, but I personally bookmark and ping where ever I visit. It’s beneficial to me and it’s beneficial to the site owner, it’s a win-win for everyone.

    ezinearticles is good ,i often write some articles in there.just get some traffic.

  4. Lonely hearts on January 25th, 2009 3:33 pm

    Thi is a good way to generate a lot of links but believe me it isnt easy to keep coming up with original content or keep writing good articles.

    I would rather submit a few good articles than a lod of mediocre or bad ones.

  5. Brandon Thomson on January 25th, 2009 6:41 pm

    I guess I’m confused why you would want to write articles for the EzineArticles site when you can publish your content on your own site with your own domain and with full control over everything. Any chance you could elaborate on this?

    Very informative post and thanx for this wonderful article, i hope my ezine article profile PR increases too.

  8. Dofollow Blogs on January 26th, 2009 3:02 pm

    I publish on Ezines.com, but didn’t realize the benefit of promoting my author page. Thanks for letting me know.

    By the way, I have listed this blog as a dofollow blog and send a few readers your way. I’ve linked to the page above.

    I’m in the process of updating the rankings and providing a bit of information about each site. Updates should be up by Wednesday. Let me know if you’d like to change yours.

    Warmly,

    This is a fantastic suggestion. I do submit articles on several directories actually and never did think about bookmarking my own profile, moreover linking to them. One good advice on link building tactics. Definitely will go for this from now on. Hope it does boost my PR in the future.

    Thanks again.

    I second the part about bookmarking your individual articles. A lot of people will just search sites like del.icio.us instead of Google.

  11. Shane on January 27th, 2009 6:51 pm

    Good tips will give it a try

  12. GenTopics on January 28th, 2009 5:20 am

    Cool… Thank you so much for this wonderful blog. I have been lurking on the web to look this kind a method but can’t find any good lucks. But thanks GOD i found this one.

    THanks

    Brandon:

    The reason you publish on EzineArticles is two-fold… first is to get a nice backlink or two, second is to get traffic. Because EzineArticles is considered an authority site by the site engines, its pages rank much more easily than yours would for almost any given keyword… I’m not saying don’t publish content only on EzineArticles, but definitely include it in your traffic building strategy.

    Good tip, I had not thought of doing that…makes good sense though.

It’s not that I dont like you, it’s just that as I know from past experience people come to these places to learn, so they dont appreciate impatient self-righteous attitudes. 3. The "loose weight" term is intentional, i’ve made money from misspellings, They work and shortcut SEO, end of check out a keyword tool for the term, there is plenty of traffic for it. 4.That about the ezinearticles link, actually your wrong because linking to your Ezinearticles profile passes on any link juice and pagerankand distributes it to the articles, tried and tested. The important thing to note is that EzineArticles profiles are indexed by Google and carry PageRank. So your wrong. Maybe its you that needs to read more…..
