The Traffic Rewards of the New Approach to Article Syndication
I have some data to share, but before I do let me provide some context. Almost fifty days ago, I made the smart decision to become a member of an content distribution service. While I don’t actually know the guy that designed this remarkable tool for online marketers, I honestly feel as if I do, because I have heard his voice on so many training videos about how to use the many products and services I have purchased from him. I think I am responsible for paying off his last car.
Due to my many prior experiences with this boy genius (well, he’s not really that young), I was confident that the service would accomplish for me what it promised: An entirely unique, Effective approach to content marketing. I’m no different from any other online marketer, I’m always wanting more and more quality traffic, and who among us is not constantly looking for fresh one-way external links. My primary approach for achieving both of these goals is distributing content to article directories.
This service has some advantages over traditional submission to article directories, though. First, I am able to put contextual links into the body of the article. That’s something that most article directories don’t allow, but I know that it is more effective for both traffic generation and for search engine optimization. Also, rather than being filtered through an article directory, my articles in this system can go directly to a website that is specifically related to my niche. As with the previous benefit, that helps with regard to both traffic and SEO. Third, since some of my business involves affiliate marketing, with this service I can put an affiliate link directly in the article, if I want–another thing that the article directories don’t allow. Perhaps the greatest advantage is this: The system has a built in article spinner so that if I prepare my articles well, each website that receives my article can publish a unique version of it (essential for any SEO gains).
Let me tell you what my membership has helped me achieve in the less than seven weeks that I have been a member. Here are just a few of the highlights of my experience with My Article Network.
You need to realize that the system gradually distributes articles to websites, so every article I’ve submitted so far is still yet to be published on some of its sites and other articles have just begun. I have submitted 58 well spun article. Unique versions of those articles now appear on over 1900 pages on the web. I am allowed to insert up to three links in each article, but I vary the number of links, so I estimate that the sites I have been promoting have added a cumulative total of around 4000 external links. Of course many of those are so new that they haven’t been picked up by the search engines, yet. Some of my links are actually pointed at other of my articles published on article directories and some of the sites in the system to give them a little more “link juice.”
About half the articles are directed toward my newest site, which I just started building three months ago. Alexa couldn’t even find that site when I first joined this system, and now it has climbed in the Alexa rankings more than two million positions. I’m a bit embarassed to admit it, but the new site gets more traffic already than some of my old sites that I have been working on for years. For example, I have done nothing to my oldest site (no pages added, no new SEO, only 9 articles in this system pointing at it), and it has jumped 120,000 positions. I can’t attribute that traffic growth to anything other than those nine articles–and the system that distributed them.
Okay, if you like those numbers, take a look at this. I didn’t even think of tracking the results of this program until six days ago–yeah, I know, I’m a slouch). In that one week (little less) the eight sites that I have directly promoted through the service have increased a cumulative total of over 5 million positions in Alexa. Not bad for six days.
I actually became so excited by the whole process that I have subsequently created four new blogs to join the over 10,000 websites that are eager publishers for the content that we writer-marketers provide.
I urge you to check out My Article Network. Yes, you affiliate marketers out there, you can become an affiliate–after you join the article distribution service.
