APPROVED!

eZine articles approved my rewritten article. YEAH BABY! and even better news is that they're going to feature it on the homepage. Know what that means?? submit more articles ASAP.

I also added a links page to my site and will be updating that later tonight with 15-20 more links. My store's getting regular clicks now and I'm curious to see how this will play out once I build more backlinks and rise in the SERPS. I was on the first page of google saturday but it's looking like the site's going up and down in the rankings. So I'll need somemore articles and backlinking.

Is Ezinearticles anal retentive? or maybe OCD?

Or could it be that they're really thorough? Who knows, I haven't come to a conclusion on that. What I do know is that they kicked back one of my articles saying it was "too" keyword optimized. Apparently they have a ratio to determine how many times a keyword should appear per 100 words. Blah blah blah. To me it's bullshit, but I've got to edit my article to get it in their directory. The article sounded right to me. It's not like my particular keyword was used every other friggin word. But whatever, I'll edit it today and get it resubmitted.

In other news I've got another niche I'm going after and I'm not telling. I'm buying a domain today and will begin construction on it. To speed the process I may do some PPC as well as soggy's SEO program which works like a charm. It takes some time to see results but you will see results with patience. Now here's another question with my new store, should I do a regular bans with a custom template or will I go with a wordpress niche store? As it stands I'm leaning towards a wordpress store powered by the bans script. Why? Wordpress has 50 million themes, it has built in SEO features, Google likes it and finds it quickly and there are tons of SEO plugins to work with it. We'll see, I have a couple days to make a decision.

The joys of article marketing

I love article marketing. Especially when I DON'T have to write the articles. One of the biggest lessons I've learned about running a business, a real business is to outsource what you A. don't like doing, B. aren't good at doing, C. low dollar tasks that don't add to your bottom line so you can focus on MARKETING, MARKETING and more MARKETING. Writing articles was something that I really don't like doing, so when I found out that there were services out there that provided that, I was onboard. I joined www.need-an-article.com and so far I've been pleased. I send in a request for an article and it was finished that same day. As a matter of fact, later that evening when the system load was high. So far I'm pleased with them and will be using them more and more in the future.
