I submitted to EZine Articles over 2 weeks ago.  I submitted 2 spun articles which were my first articles ever.  I'll call this campaign 1.  Campaign 1 is the same Affiliate Campaign I used for my Facebook Ad Experiment.  I assumed my spun articles were disapproved because of all the latest changes to Google.

While I was waiting for approval, I discovered StreetArticles and started using them with Campaign 2.  I'm very passionate about campaign 2 and have a lot to contribute to this campaign.  I received approval from SA in hours, not weeks and got first page results on Google with some great keywords.  Very impressive, but so far I haven't gotten any sales.  I'm still working on my website everyday, but the learning curve has made it difficult to get things done as fast as I want.  So many widgets and plugins to check out and try.  I know what I want the site to be like in my head, I just need to find the right tools to make it happen.

EZine finally sent me emails yesterday letting me know that my articles have been approved.  Holy Cow.  Great.  But I didn't really care, since I've ditched campaign 1 thanks to the failed Facebook Ad campaign.

Today, I get 2 emails from the affiliate host of Campaign 1.  They are auto messages that let me know that somebody has opted-in to the email campaign.  So now I know that I get an email when someone joins my affiliate email list.  That means that out 32 clicks that I got from Facebook Ads, Nobody opted-in to email, because I never got an email from my affiliate company.  Since I quit my Facebook Ad Campaign a few days ago, what triggered someone to visit my site and opt-in to the email list?

It's because of my EZine Articles.  I logged into my affiliate console to find out which backlinks landed the lead.  Within a day of publishing my articles, I've got 2 leads.  I have to say that's impressive.

Since my Campaign 1 and Campaign 2 are completely different programs, I can't really compare Street Articles and EZine to each other yet.  I guess I could try writing some Campaign 1 Articles to SA, but writing original content for this campaign is tough for me.  SA doesn't allow article spinning.  I'll see if I can come up with something original, but to give you an idea of the kind of stuff I'd have to write, it would be helpful if I had a degree in Psychology or worked as a Therapist.

I'd also like to try Campaign 2 at EZine Articles, but waiting 2 weeks for approval is tough for this impatient Newbie.  But hey, if it gets good results, it's worth it.
