        Huey,

        I think you are giving us a bit of a vacuum here. Can you tell us a bit more in terms of what you are wanting to affect in the SERPs? Or are you simply asking is an Ezine article better than Hubpages in terms of having an affect on SERPs?

        Thanks,

          yes this one -  Ezine article better than Hubpages in terms of having an affect on SERPs?

          I am actually posted one article on Ezine and Hubpage with the normal anchor/keyword text to boost my keyword position.. i see the effect, last time my KW position is 147 and now it is 25-26.. but don't know should i continue doing the same method or should i also do something else (please advice). I am doing everything manually not by any software.

            Creating links on different websites is the key... Submitting multiple articles to the same websites/Directories wont have as much of an effect as if you submitted to other websites.

            I have also heard that links in article directories and web 2.0 sites are devalued by Google as they are easily "created" and not "Earned"

            If i was you, I would search Google for websites looking for guest authors and submit your article to those websites.

            Search this in Google and you should get a few websites to submit your articles too.

            "keyword"+“Guest bloggers wanted” OR “guest blogger wanted”

              You answered my question and your answer was posted by DiscoverAfricaGroup. This is a very low value way to go.

                Huey,

                As you have unique content, Why can't you create blog on your own website. And publish content on own blog instead of putting them in article and web 2.0 sites. After posting content in blog share them on social media. By that you will get direct traffic on your website.

                  I am doing that method but didn't see effect. Without good keyword position no traffic will come in my blog.

                    This is what we do.  Keep the content on your own site... but share where only a signpost pointing to your site will be present.  This earns links, brings traffic, and reduces duplicate content risk.

                      EGOL, what is a signpost?

                      I know I am supposed to know everything, but that is why I have you!

                      Keep on own site... but share....signpost...?

                      • So I ran into a site that was not ranking 4 days ago and has over 2 million links to it on some keywords. My guess is this is a link bomb, but the issue is this is pushing one of my sites down. Does anyone know a good way to over come a bomb like this?
