Once your article is accepted on EzineArticles you become an expert on your topic and you get a profile page with all your articles. Note, most people will also spread their articles out of many different pen names.
If you increase the profile search engine score your articles will also receive a higher search engine score and benifit as well. You can do this by bookmarking your profile. Use sites like del.icio.us, Squidoo, WiseWeber, Blogroll to do so.
You can then take your Eznie Articles RSS feed and add it to some RSS Aggregators like RSS reader or RSS connect. You can do a search on Google for other RSS Aggregators.
Don’t forget you also need to link to your articles directly as well. A quick an easy way to do this is by using your signature in forums you belong to.
