How To Get a PageRank 4/10 on a Ezine Article

I have given article submission a good bashing in the past mainly because of the way most people approach it. However recently with the web directories not working the way they used to and stuff I have been trying everything to compete with paid links.

The way I saw it was if I was going to do article submissions I was going to do them right. I had one article wrote for each of the directories I was going to submit to, if someone else decided to publish it fine but I wasn’t going to let them take the rankings of the original articles.

On Ezine Articles I worked out that if I could get so many page views on an article it would get massive internal linkage from the entire category. With this one fairly lengthy article about choosing engagement rings I needed about 1,000 page views or so. I did it and to my surprise the article now has 6,900 mainly internal links, a Google PageRank of 4/10 and good juice with Yahoo!

Here’s how you do it:

1/ Create one good quality original article (at least 250 words long).

2/ Create an Ezine member profile, try to make it look as professional as possible, add a picture etc. and submit your article.

3/ Try and find a couple of friends to help you to promote the article on some of the social networks, plead with your Stumble friends etc. With the one that I did I tried making a joke about how boring it was to get some of my friends to vote it.

4/ Get your page views up to a high enough score to make sure that you are going to be safely in the most viewed in the last 90 day category for a long time and pick up a few do follow links a long the way.

5/ Wait for the next PageRank update and you are done.

The article marketing has been fairly successful, the ones I did on Ezine and Ezilon both got a PageRank 4/10, rank fairly well and send regular traffic which is an added bonus.

I apologise to any Stumblers etc. who had to look at any of the articles. If you really want to see the Ezine article here is the link. Try not to fall asleep.
