I currently have my first 5 articles published on ezine articles. I have written some and used content from a subscription article writer.

Geedo said this.. (To get the best results you should have a different headline for each article directory. You should also change the first 4 or 5 sentences and the last 4 or 5 sentences of your article.) Follow his directions and you will find it saves some trial and error and headaches..lol

Keep this mind when using an article for an outline or wanting to not get a duplicate content flag. I am using this program right now and have found it to be the best I have tried in searching for 8 months.
Take a look here...

Here are a few links to those articles..

I think you get the idea. If you want to try and see how an article will look when published, then try my own database and publish it there. Then you can link to that article from your ad or whatever. If you are using an affiliate link, that is fine with me.
Here is my Article directory..

If you want to see how much better I am now doing with wordpress, then I have a link for that too. The adsense template I am using works very well, also take a look at using Blogrush widget, it will help bring loads of new blog traffic and it really works.

They have videos for the script install to help you. It is free and one of the only programs I have found that really brings in the traffic.

As I mentioned previously, with my computer service websitewww.ronscomputerservice.net target="_blank"> www.ronscomputerservice.net, I had very little traffic until I started submitting articles about problems with computers and how to solve them.

The same thing is true with my ebook site, almost all of the traffic that comes to www.5star-ebooks.com is through the articles I have submitted.

I am getting some click throughs on other forums that I visit, but for the most part I can track most of my traffic through article submission.

I do use a service Submit Your Article dot com that works very well for me. That service submits to various ezine/article directories. I also use EzineArticles.com.

I do highly recommend the use of articles to get a flood of traffic to your website(s).

Ed Dale's Thirty Day Challenge is a great way to learn about internet marketing.
