Article Marketing Automation Vs. Article Ranks Vs. Free Traffic System SERPS Contest
By MMJ admin on Dec 2, 2009 in Article Marketing
Unique Article Wizard won my last SERPS contest so handily that I’m going to leave it out of this one and instead focus my other three main article distribution services: Article Marketing Automation, Article Ranks, & Free Traffic System.
The contest will work like this: I’m going to create three EZA articles which all focus on the same main keyword phrase (this will be a longtail keyword that currently has no EZA articles done for it.)
I will do no linking to these articles except with the aforementioned three services. Each service will link to a particular article and I will then be checking the search engines for where these articles rank for the longtail phrase and include the results in the comments.
I will be using Magic Article Rewriter for this. This will allow me to essentially do all of this while only writing/spinning one article (I’ll submit it via UAW too, I just won’t be linking to pages participating in this contest.)

UPDATE: Article Ranks won this contest with the top SERPS rankings on Google, Yahoo, & MSN/Bing.
the EZAs have been submitted. now of course I must wait for approval and then I can move to the next step.
I made every effort to make the keyword density and titles as similar as possible to try to make on page factors as small as possible.
I want to test the SEO power of these article submission services in a vacuum so that requires trying to iron out all of the other factors as much as I can (of course it’s impossible to know all of these factors and to ever do this 100% — just trying to get it close enough…)

All three EZAs are up. Now I’ll have to get to building the links. I am thinking about doing a second test just like this one but using a different keyword phrase (of course) and testing ISnare, UAW, & Article Ranks. I’ll probably get on that next week.

Very early results (probably too early to mean anything.)
GOOGLE:
#1 FTS (#9 on Google)
#2 AMA (#21 on Google)
#3 AR (no Google rank)
BING/MSN:
#1 AMA (#6 on Bing)
#2 FTS (#9 on Bing)
#3 AR (no Bing rank)
YAHOO:
none in top 100. It’s quite early so.. I’m not too concerned. Yahoo can be slow.

Again, it’s very likely that these early results mean just about nothing — In the coming weeks I should get a clearer picture of what was most effective.

And as you can probably ascertain by these high rankings for just throwing an EZA up, this target phrase is not very competitive.

Update:
Google:
#1 FTS (#6 on Google)
#2 AR (#12 on Google)
#3 AMA (no Google Rank)
FTS & AR both moved up nicely, AMA dropped out (only two can rank.)
Bing/MSN:
#1 FTS (#29 on Bing)
#2 AMA (#37 on Bing)
#3 AR (no Bing rank)
Both FTS moved into first place but both FTS and AMA dropped from last week’s update, so overall pretty disappointing results in Bing.
Yahoo:
#1 AR (#8 on Yahoo)
#3 AMA/FTS (neither are ranked in Yahoo.
Nice showing by ArticleRanks here.
Overall AMA is looking like the big loser with no good rankings, while AR is doing well in Yahoo (and not bad in Google) and FTS is doing well in Google.

ArticleRanks is kicking ass and taking names on this one. Very impressive, top ten in all three search engines.

Nice experiment - I have been using Article Ranks on a couple of my sites but I am not seeing much benefit due to them both only being a couple of months old.
I have made some slow progress on the SERP’s, 70 > 50 in the last few weeks on Google, but I think I am still in the ’sandbox’ and I suddenly climb up in a month or so.
I do have an article on EZA at the moment, maybe i’l rewrite it, drop it on AR and see what happens
