Good to know there are good results with Article Biz.  Paying for links from a different article directory could be profitable, it would seem.  Writer's choice.

discusses article marketing, I know, but read on for encouragement

Recently I noticed an awesome power of article marketing.

I was looking at a site flipping website where I noticed a site flipped that was PR2. Researching, I discovered that the site had just 5 links and 2 of them from EZA. Going deeper, I realized that if an author has a substantial number of articles submitted, there is a cumulative PR benefits on even a single link from an article.

This cannot be happening only at EZA, it must be happening on every article site.

This is the PR side of the story, not the number of links.

Hope it helps.

Sooper articles doesn't usually take that long, I wonder if they changed something?  Good to know, I will submit some and see how long it takes for mine.

I have 2 articles still waiting for review at ArticleBiz, posted 13 May and 17 May.  They now say it will take up to 6 weeks for a review, (upgraded from 4 weeks).  Well, the 6 weeks is up tomorrow - I'm not hopeful they will publish and well outside the 30 day limit for Cash4Links.

Of course, If I pay them $1.00 per article, (minimum credit purchase is $10.00), they say they will review within 48 hours. 

I've used these 2 articles as a test of their free service.  If they do not publish within the 6 weeks promised, I shall then pay them the $10.00 to see what that service is like.  However, I think I shall be spending most of my time on the sites that do not require payment.   

UPDATE:

Well, still waiting for my articles to be published - it's now 7 weeks.

Also, I was just about to try their paid service and noticed a contradiction on their site.  They state:

You may expedite the review process by buying article credits. Each article credit cost as little as $1.00. You may use 1 credit per article.

In other words, $1.00 per article.

However, when you move down the page to pay, the minimum you can buy is 5 credits for $10.00.  In other words, 1 credit per article = $2.00 per article!

I've given up on ArticleBiz - I'm not paying $2.00 per article and I'm beginning to suspect that they don't publish your articles hoping you will get fed up and pay.

Has anyone managed to get articles published for free?  I shall leave my two articles in their system just to see if they ever publish them.

Thanks for the useful list though Leona. A pointer about Ezine:

Ezine you can have a five words anchor text link if your article is at least 400 words long.

So may be worth writing those few extra words if required...

Angel,

I did not realize that you could even pay 2.00 each.. I had paid 20 originally,
therefore, I paid 1.00 for expiated service.

Yes you're right, you can pay $20.00 and then post 20 articles, but I think their minimum is very expensive.   

The nerve of them, 2.00 to publish an article, when
you can get more views, use any number of pics, and immediate publication
with Gather.

Exactly!  There are lots of quality article directories that they are presumably in competition with. 

For me, it's not worth the $20 with the number of links I get from Cash4Links, but if (hopefully when) the service grows with lots more advertisers, then that would change things.
