Question For Article Marketers
I started converting my travel article directory to the Article Friendly script last week and found that the article listings on the directory home page are random and not the latest articles. At first I was going to change it to latest articles but then as the list refreshes regularly I thought that it's a nice touch that articles have a chance of appearing on the main page way after they have been submitted so I'm undecided.
The latest articles are listed when you click on each category and when you click on an authors bio, their articles and the latest 10 submitted articles are listed. As I know from stats that entry points are more often through individual articles than the main page and that the variances can be a visitor going through everything in a category, or in a certain authors article list I suspect that the random article list might work better for authors long term than a latest articles list.
Article Marketers what do you think? Would you rather see a latest articles or random selection on the main page of a directory?
P.S. I say main page because I had to put the new directory in a folder while I am doing the conversion, but have something more planned for the site itself.
