Reasons Why Bum Marketing Doesn't Work Sometimes

This post is based on what i have experienced after submitting a lot of articles on ezinearticles.com

There are a lot of affiliates who rely mostly on ezinearticles to earn money online. There are even more whose affiliate marketing journey begins with promotion using ezinearticles.com

Reason Why i think article marketing using ezinearticles.com won't work for someone:

There are many articles for the same keywords so even if you have optimized your article for some phrase, it doesn't make sure you will rank high for that phrase.

There can be only one ezinearticles listing at a time so the best one(keyword density wise, counting incoming links, etc.) would probably show up.

I think its better not to rely only on this site for making money. Better to build your own website and post articles there. It will be more profitable in the long term.

These are my thoughts. Let me know what you guys think.
