ezinearticles.com "technical" question

Hi All

Have got an answer from ezine.com but don't think I understand it.

1. Please could somebody tell me whether my "worked example" (given below) would actually work?
2. And if it wouldn't, what have I not understood please about the answer I've been given?
3. Also, when someone says they want http://your-company-name does it mean everything'll throw a wobbly if I put http://www.your-company-name instead?

ezine.com advice:-

You are able to create linked text by using the following HTML:

<a target="_new" href="http://your-company-name.com/">Anchor
Text Here</a>

My goal is to have my anchor text reading Career and linking through to the home page of my website.

So, do I first switch from WYSIWYG to the HTML version of the article submission page - or isn't that necessary?

When I get to the word before the Career I want to use as my anchor text, do I write as follows please:

<a target="_Career" href="http://www.careers-partnership-uk.com/">Anchor Text Here</a>

Would be grateful for any advice offered. It is so frustrating to fall at this last hurdle! Best wishes, Linda

Been a while since I did anything on ezinearticles so I'm no expert, but just logged into my account, and the resource (signature box) is in html.

My sig is this:

Steve Richardson</br>
<a target="_new" href="http://www.mylocalservices.co.uk">My Local Services</a> - The Online Business Directory - rated and reviewed by real reople.</br>


In your example, to have career as an anchor text, it would look like this:

<a target="_new" href="http://www.careers-partnership-uk.com">Career</a>

putting www or no www won't make any difference.

does that make sense?

Thanks, thanks and more thanks! Will now see if I'm allowed to adjust the ezine article in accordance with your advice.

It's been so frustrating, I'm anticipating my second article will be rejected purely because of the Resource box problems I'd experienced.

Followed your advice very carefully sjr4x4 - and VICTORY!!!!!

I've also got a template to follow in the future too.

Thanks again, you've saved me hours of fiddling around getting nowhere.

Best wishes Linda

happy to help

In the ezinearticle you can add your keyword through hyperlink in Resources box. You can't add the hyperlink ib the body of the article.

Thanks Proval, This is what I'm doing.

I aim to write articles linking back to each of my web site's most important pages and then place the two anchor text links to the relevant page as well as my Home page. I've one article "live" and two articles pending.

Would be interested to know others' experiences of any increases in site visits and improvements in Google page placings as a result of ezinearticles.com exposure.

Best wishes, Linda

Now 2 articles up and one re-submitted (guess what, I still got it wrong on a bit of the HTML ).
