ok, I am confused. First, I have been getting traffic to my lens which are very new as I am very new. I am getting click throughs but no sales. Today my ezine article was released and it is in first place on the first page of google above the affiliate himself. Now I would think that was a good thing, but have not seen the dollars. Am I impatient or am I doing something wrong. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Also this may be a crazy question, how do I stay there? How do affiliates feel when you put them in 2nd place.

You can try building back links to the article, it may help. e.g. writes more articles and post it to goarticles, and then in the resource box point it to the article in the Ezinearticles.com

Never thought of that, so in other words I want to get more clicks on my ezine article to keep it in first position? Do I think of this like cross referencing? Is that how it all works together.

Quality backlinks are one of the keys to keeping first page of G to make sales you need awesome presell language and a product they want or need. Good seo knowledge is a must as well. Just don't give up and keep plugging away!

Not giving up. Just figuring out this back links thing. I went into all my sites today and did just that ( I think). Doesn't that mean linking your articles to your lens to you blog and vice versa?

Hi Robin,
It could be any number of things and as such it's really hard to pin down.
It helps if the page loads quickly, looks attractive, and is easy to navigate.
Good writing helps and as Sonni mentioned, good preselling with a call to action - however subtle or blunt - is a must.
Furthermore, there is usually a big difference in regards to sales conversions when it comes to using tightly targeted buy phrases vs. either general, informational, or even opinionated phrases.
For example: note the difference in someone who would click on the phrase "what kind of guitar should I buy?" vs. "Buy a Gibson Cherry Sunburst Custom Les Paul".
The later is in the buy phase. They've already done their research and know what they want. They are ready to whip out their wallets and toss some plastic at the net.
That's not to say that you should always title pages with buy phrases or use them every time in anchor text (wording in the hyperlink).
While it may often be appropriate for a single page "site" such as a Squidoo lens or a Hub Page, you'll want to mix it up quite a bit by using all types of phrases on a multi-paged website or blog.
Know your reader. What are they into? How do they talk? What are they looking for? What is their problem and how can you offer a solution. Put yourself in the shoes of your visitor and be sure to mention benefits throughout your writing.
Imagine yourself as a visitor who has just arrived on your page. What are you looking for? Do you trust the webmaster? Are you convinced they know what they are talking about, have used and are happy with what they have to offer? Would you buy from you?
Would you be excited or relieved to have found the page? Would you spend your hard-earned cash on this site? Would you be eager to dig into the product? Would it likely solve your problem or improve your life?
Hope that helps,
~Newbie Shield~

Hi Robin it can obviously take time before you get your first sale. Take not of all of your stats, how many hops do you have exactly?
Like newbie shield said, take a look at the keywords your page is optimized for. Are they late in the buy cycle or are they more in line with someone who is just doing research and not interested in buying yet?
Think about any bonuses you can give away with your offer to make it more worthwhile for the user. Also if you have any personal experience with the product, not a problem you had and show how it helped you overcome it.
If all else fails you might want to go and do some research about your target audience. Look into some forums that your customers take part in and actually read what they want and change your campaign accordingly. 
Hope that helps.
