ezinearticles.com bigger than Reddit, Twitter, Delicious in UK

by Patrick Altoft on October 2, 2008

According to Hitwise ezinearticles.com is bigger than a lot of mainstream social sites in the UK.
News sites

Interesting to see that StumbleUpon is bigger than Digg over here too.

Does anybody generate significant traffic from ezinearticles? Google Trends reports over 400,000 daily visitors which is about the same as major newspaper websites.

Below is the image I get when I visit ezinearticles today. I refuse to type a captcha to visit a website so they won’t be getting traffic from me.

Chetan 02 Oct 2008 at 1:44 pm: Your question regarding ezine articles traffic can be answered by U.K. people but in Asia, i think it has no popularity.
SU and Twitter are more popular here..
Vinay 02 Oct 2008 at 3:25 pm: Interesting observation.. but I don’t fancy Article sites.. due to the fact.. the article are mostly targetted to improve SEO. I use Google Blog Search often if I was looking for user/consumer generated content..!

@Chetan, I guess your observation are wrong.. checking the trends for ezinearticles.com at Google Trends for Websites, India (Asia) ranks 2nd – http://trends.google.com/websites?q=ezinearticles.com&geo=all&date=all&sort=0 while UK comes 3rd!

Comparing ezinearticles.com, stumbleupon.com & twitter.com – Ezine out numbers the rest – http://trends.google.com/websites?q=ezinearticles.com%2Cstumbleupon.com%2Ctwitter.com&geo=IN&date=all&sort=0 StumbleUpon is rising pretty faster..should be at top in few months imo. Twitter has long time to catchup though..!

It’s also interesting how UK users search for ‘health’ related tips in ezinearticles.. may be the niche isn’t much covered by blogs & social media which is the fact ezine enjoys amazing traffic!! ?
Chetan 02 Oct 2008 at 3:47 pm: Still, Digg is popular in India..

I never thought Indians would go to Ezinearticles to search for something. Rather Wiki was in my mind all the time..
Vinay 02 Oct 2008 at 4:07 pm: Google trends for Website shows the estimated traffic/reach of a site.. not how many searches users made on the site if I am right. Btw, Rediff.com dominates most of the big social media sites…! The traffic that rediff.com receives is massive.. (5x Digg) !
Tejvan Pettinger 02 Oct 2008 at 5:13 pm: I get a steady amount of traffic maybe 100 a month from Ezine articles. I once wrote about 200 articles for ezines, but, I don’t bother now. It’s good for helping to get a site going.
Andrew Seaton 25 Nov 2008 at 12:21 am: I am using ezine articles to try and get my ecommerce site more traffic – from reading Patricks Blog, the best way of doing this is to have a blog or articles which add value.

I will let you know how I get on!
