hi warriors,

can someone please tell me the point of article marketing? because we have had 10 articles published from the 26th september to 3rd october so far in the dating category and have tried to to focus on keywords like dating online, dating, date but we have had no serious traffic come to the site at all! apart the stats below:

Account Statistics
Article(s) Views:1,286Profile Views: 14 URL Clicks:12this was for ezine & we have submitted to Go articles too.
& im wondering if article marketing is seriuosly over hyped? as everyone on this forum says article marketing is the best? because we should have had more url clicks from the articles, or is it too soon to tell?
& what is the point of article marketing? is it to drive traffic to the site by url clicks from the resource box or the keyword lingering about in google? whats the point?

    The problem here is that your click through rate is TERRIBLE. You should be running 15% at a minimum, 20-25% as a better target. I have some articles that are over 40% CTR. You need to take a good look at how you are writing your resource box, and also whether the keywords match your article and whether the titles match the content of the articles.

    Here's a post I made in the old forum which should answer your question. Here's the link: http://warriorforum.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=266488

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    Hey Warriors,

    I've seen so many article marketing threads and questions lately that I wanted to drop my two cents.

    People keep on posting about their failures with this type of traffic generation (complaining about it) that I have come to notice certain trends in those mistakes, here are a few:

    1. X submits less than 10 articles and wonders why there are so little views and no sales made.

    2. Y submits hundreds of articles without any method to it and wonders why the results literally suck.

    3. Z Gets many views from his/her articles but very low CTR.

    And I could go on with the list, article marketing has become so popular I see up to 10 threads per day about it.

    This goes for the people that have been complaining: Article Marketing can be extremely powerful, but there is a whole science to it. Like I have mentioned in some other threads before, submitting 100 articles the right way is much more powerful than just submitting 1,000 articles, no matter how good they are.

    I'm not saying my method is the best, it is far from unique, but it works for me and it has worked for many others as well. So here are a few pointers I suggest people follow before going into their article writing and submittal spree.

    1. Keyword Research And Implementation

    Do the proper long tail keyword phrase research, then implement them by spreading them in your articles, most importantly in the title, first paragraph, last paragraph, anchor text and once or twice in the body. That way you will rank in the first page of the search engines for that specific keyword.

    By proper I mean with the right variables, personally, I aim for at least 100 daily search results and less than 10,000 Google competition. It sounds hard, but you would be surprised how much of a joke it actually is.

    2. Original, Unique, Quality Content

    Outsourcing or re-writing can be very tempting, but I would think twice before doing so. You can't imagine how powerful writing your own articles can be, it's a great way to brand yourself and if people like your articles they expect the same tone of your next submissions, not to mention you improve your writing skills tremendously without even noticing as you write away.

    No matter who writes your articles, in my opinion, there is no one better than yourself for the job.

    3. Leading To The Resource Box And The Anchor Text

    Even though writing good articles is extremely imporant, don't forget that one of the main objectives is for the reader to click through.

    So at the end of the article, if you haven't already been doing so, start leading the reader to the resource box and subtlely pre-selling the product you are promoting.

    FORGET about the boring "XYZ is an expert in..... you can visit his blog (if you want) here: [insert link>" sort of resource box unless you want very low CTR. Be creative, appeal to the reader's emotions, be original and just make sure you call to action.

    Also, make sure the anchor text of your link is for one of the keywords you used to optimize the site you are linking to, that will give a backlink extra punch to your articles.

    4. Keep Them Short And Simple

    Everyone knows that people come to the internet for a quick solution to their problems. If they start reading your college thesis they will leave the article half way through (if not before). Make your article 250-600 words, you can write great articles of that length, and if you can't make them so short, break them down to 3 separate articles.

    Don't forget it applies to the language and terminology as well, in most niches people don't really care about the technical jargon, some won't even understand it. Just keep it flowing and write it as if you were actually talking to someone.

    5. The Numbers Game

    AFTER you have done the things I mentioned above, THEN it becomes a numbers game, the more you submit the better.

    So do everyone a favour and get 100+ articles live before complaining (using these guidelines). If you don't make money from it I will personally pay you!

    I submitted less than 300 articles last month working 4 hours per day only, the results of those articles to the date I am writing this are: 37,535 Views - 11,058 URL Clicks - 429 Articles Re-Published. And yes those results are for articles submitted less than 45 days ago (I only used EZA). Add a really mediocre conversion of 1% to those URL clicks for let's say a $20/sale average and you got yourself $2,211.60.

    Just imagine the potential money that can be made from such an article marketing campaign alone.

    Article marketing is far from dead,

    Daniel Molano

    --------------------------------------------------------------

    Look specifically at the keyword research and implementation section, you didn't do it and that is one of the most important parts (Your entire article views depend on it).

    By the way, this was posted about 2 months ago, the article views and URL clicks to date have almost duplicated in results. So yes, about 70,000 views and 25,000 URL clicks from articles submitted 3 months ago.

      You don't seem to be focusing on long tail keywords - you'll never get much traffic for keywords such as 'dating', and 'dating online'. With a decent article you should be getting at least 30% CTR - I recently tried submitting a few in the dating niche (which was brand new to me) and got close to 50% CTR. It's a very hot niche.

      Unfortunately, although it's not over rated (and this has been well discussed on WF before), not everyone will 'get' article marketing.

      hi,

      thanks for your reply,

      yes there is clearly something wrong ih tne articles i have typed & submitted! because i looked at the most viewed in relationships/dating category & sort of re-wrote those but they were more related to issues in relationships & general dating whereas we want to focus on online dating & that sort of thing.

      but i do confess i am finding it hard writing content around those keywords! as online dating/dating online/dating are well searched keywords on google keyword tool & i am find it hard writing content around those keywords? how shall i do it? how shall i improve the writing of these articles is it all keyword related?

      & with the resource box i just talk generally about how great dating is.
      im really stuck! what are long tail keyword words? what would they be for dating?

        You need to be aiming for keywords with lower competition, the keywords you chose are too hard to compete with via article marketing, your articles will never rank in first page of Google for those keywords and you NEED to rank for keywords. So unless you are willing to get 1,000 backlinks per article for it to rank high, you should aim for low competition keywords.

        Here's how it's done. Go to a keyword research tool. Free options are wordtracker and SEO Book tool.

        Look for PHRASES that have over 100 daily search results in Google, now go to Google and type the phrase/keyword under quotation marks like this "keyword phrase". Do the search and look at the number of search results displayed, if it is below 10,000 then you are good to go. Now go write an article around that keyword.

    To be really successful in article marketing, one has to write more and more articles all the time.

    If you can focus on writing 1 article per day for a time period of a year, your traffic will rise to the point where you will be making more and more money.

        Some keywords can get you a lot of clickthroughs and some will get you less.

        Some articles will get you more exposure and some will give you less.

        BUT, you have got to write more and more articles and to be honest with you, 10 is not enough.

        You have got to get to the point where you have a minimum of 100-200 to really see the "fruits".

        I have been writing aritcles for the past 2 years and can tell you that 10 is not even close to enough.

    As other have already said, Article Marketing does work do not give up on it. You need to dissect your articles and find out why you are not getting descent click through rates. Remember every article is not going to be a winner. Some will give you more click through rates than others. With that said, I would definitely look at your resource box. You are getting people to read them, problem is they are not clicking on your link. Try to change your resource box a bit and test your results to see if you get any better click through rates. Hope this helps, Jesus

    well it takes time on article marketing, you have to keep on posting on social sites, if the current keywords are not working then you can try another, like long tailed keywords... search for a keyword with less competition yet lot of search volume

    i think there are a lot of SEO techniques for keyword research, just search the net for tutorials

    Hey,

    First, your click through rate isn't that good, I guess that the articles are not interesting for people in your niche.

    Secondly, you are in a ultra competitive niche, and 10 articles is NOTHING... You need 10 articles per day to make it....

    Third, you are on the right track. Many didn't make it to the 10 articles. Doh!

    I think this help.

      ok thanks for the replies,

      but its very difficult when you come into this sort of marketing & your new! so ill search long tail keywords with search volume under 10,000 results , but if have a long tail keyword like "find a date using online dateing sites" how would i write an article around this? because would i have to include in the content a few times as stated like this "find a date using online dateing sites" ?

      secondly the articles i have written are 1 a day to EZA & 1 a day to go, is this enough shall i continue? & should i expect better results once i focus around the keyword and write around that?

        Do the research for that keyword. Look around the internet for tips on how to find a date using online dating sites and then write an article about it.

        And like Tal said, stop questioning everything, just do it.

      The second one (47,100), that's ok, but you should aim for 10,000 for a better chance of ranking first.

      Yes wordtracker is a bit off. For more precise results try SEO Book tool or the Google keyword tool.

        when we use the google keyword toll, do w esearch borad, phrase or exact match is it phrase? & we go for under 10, 000 searches ?

        i just did a phrase match on google keyword tool & "find a date online" & came up with 210 searches for this phrase & broad came up with "find a date" with 340 searches & exact was similiar but the other keywords/phrases that came up were strange like sql search !!1

    None as far as i know.

    You know in the time since i posted i've written two articles on two different keywords for my website in a compelling manner.

    I landed a gold mine keyword Results 1 - 100 of about 5,150 for - with 390 searches in google keyword tool. Would have done Ezines but i've no more submissions left.

    It's really not that hard.

    when i first started writing articles i created huge articles trying to give every point on the product.

    These days i've learnt that the smaller and the more compelling the better. List the amazing points and then get them to your website for more information. Capture their interest.

      I recently submitted 10 new articles to Ezine related to skin care niche and none of them have gotten the pageviews that I would have expected. After about a week they only have had 20-30 pageviews each. My titles are fine and I have good resource box info. How do you improve the pageviews in ezinearticles? I thought for sure the articles would surely get much more views due to the beauty/skin care niche. However, it seems that is not case. Is just the niche that is not to appealing? The keywords for the niche have high CPC and many good long tail keywords (with plenty of seach volume) accoding to Google Adwords tool.

    have you tried typing the keywords into google without quotes and then setting google to display 100 result sper page.

    CTRL + F and then search for the number at the end of the artiel URL.

    You will eventually find where your article is at.

    The problem is either 1)no many people search for the keyword you're targeting, so try checking that in google keyword tool

    or

    2) your article doesn't rank high in google, maybe because of compeition. If that's the case you can try getting a few backlinks to the article but i'd go long term and create the article on my own website and then link back to that article form ezines and with other blog links etc, social bookmarking.

        100 daily searches in the keyword tool and less than 10,000 competition in the Google.com search results when you add the phrase under quotation marks.

          hi,

          thanks for that, so today i went to google keyword & typed in phrases and chose a phrase "online dating profile tips" which has 22 searches in google over 12 months & 16 in september & on google i searched in speech marks & the results were 9840 under 10,000 as stated.

            In the niche I'm in (a super competitive one) I am sure that even all the long tail keywords are taken.

            So I've quit doing keyword research. I use the articles to get 'upfront' traffic - if they get indexed by the search engines then it's icing on the cake.

            Anyways, my results from 140 articles in the screenshot below -

              hi,

              ok but here they say keyword tools are very good for writing articles so this is why i have done this! so what do you do with your articles for them to recieve that mushc traffic? how do you do it? that traffic is amazing.

              also when i write the articles for EZA the keywords that i implement are they the same keywords i have used int he article or are they the competitive ones relating to the niche, like dating online, dating? or is it online dating profile tips? which is it? & how many articles should i write daily?

    Things that work for me might not work for you, so there's probably no point talking about that and muddle things up further for you.

    There's just too many variables to consider - your choice of niche, where your traffic comes from, and even the time and day your article is published. Just post as many articles you can and TEST everything possible - your title, resource box, length of article, and even the tonality of your article.

    Good luck.

      hi,

      ok thanks for that, but if your not using keywords to write articles then how are you driving all that traffic to your articles?

      my plan now is to use google keyword tool search a phrase/words that & select the phrase that has 100 or under searches daily then using "" google search & if under 10,000 then write article on this ensuring keywords are in title, 1st, 2nd & last paragraphs, then writing a decent resrouce to get url clicks,

      & i really hope this works as ive heard so much about article marketing & would like the same traffic, but as stated is 1 EZA & 1 Go daily submissions enough?????????????

        How much traffic do you want to drive to your sites? If you need 1,000 clicks per day, and each of your article delivers 100 clicks, then you need to write 10 per day.

        Simple math.

        This, of course, assumes that all the traffic you get is 'direct' at the article directory on the day of 'publication'. If the articles get indexed at the search engines, that's a bonus.

        I understand that the norm is to primarily get the articles indexed, but if you're in a fierce niche then that could be difficult.

        Again, this is the method which works for me, and I would not vouch for its effectiveness anywhere else - simply because the variability is too great across niches.

          hi,

          i thought it was the average amount to write 1 article a day one to eza & 1 to go i didnt realise that we could write 10 a day, if i do this do you think my fingers will drop off?

          or what would be a reasonable amount? as at the moment im currently wriitng them following the discussion here using the keywords so do u think i should make 1 article really good & see how that goes & then follow the plan & write more?

    Tuzic,

    With all due respect, do you write your own articles or do you have someone write them for you. If you do write them, do you have anyone proofreading them for you?

    Again, with respect, if your articles are written in the manner that you write in this forum, your CTR will always be low. You need someone who can write in "proper" English to proof your articles for you.

    If that is the case, I would bet the farm that your CTR would immediately double, triple or more!

      This is it.

      Your resource box should be relevant to your article and should say you have a solution for reader's problem. Also you can try to put some call to action in your article resource box. Also bold the text to make it more visible every time you publish your article. This should earn you a few extra clicks.


      Regards

        hi,

        i am a graduate & im just writing this forum like im having a conversation and im not paying any attention to spelling & writing, so when i write the articles which i do write myself i do write them as well as i can & it is a good standard since i am well educated.

        but yes i do write them myself & i was told its much better to write them yourself, & at the moment we need the free options.

          Agreed Allen.

          Building trust, brand and credibility is only like 10% of what article marketing is about. If you are doing it for that sole purpose, you are just leaving A LOT of money on the table.

              Sure, but you are aiming too high. I suggest 100 daily searches and less than 10,000 Google competition.

              50 articles like this = about 5,000 daily views to your articles if you are ranking first (Which if the article alone doesn't, you just need a few backlinks to do so). With a 20% mediocre CTR = 1,000 daily unique visitors to your site.

              Start counting 30 minutes.

                  10. how to kiss a woman

                  That took me 15 minutes, all within the parameters I mentioned and all can easily be spun around to ANY dating niche product.

                  For the horoscope ones, just mention a few traits of that respective sign after some research and then tell them to go to the product you are promoting in the resource box to know EXACTLY how you can do it. Or you can just bash on the horoscope say it's a scam and that you will show them the real thing.

                  You can spin any related keyword towards any product.
                  You've given a lot of great information in your posts and I appreciate that but the keywords listed above do not get 100 daily searches. According to Google Adwords Keyword Tool

                  1. seduce a capricorn = 720 searches per month
                  2. seduce and aries man = 320 per month
                  3. seduce a gemini = 720/month
                  4. how to seduce a virgo = 590 / month
                  5. seduce a virgo = 880 / month
                  6. seduce a scorpio = 1900 / month (gettng closer)
                  7. types of flirt signals = (not enough data)
                  8. learn how to french kiss = 2,400+
                  9. instructions on how to french kiss = 320 / month
                  10. how to kiss a woman = 590

                  I did not check these to see what the competition was like and they may be great keywords but certainly not 100+ daily searches (3,000 / month).

                  If the above terms didn't have too much competition I would still go after them though. I would not throw out the list because the terms are only getting 20 - 30 daily searches.

                      If a key word term had 500 daily searches and only 200 competing web sites would you not use that term because it has more than 100 daily searches?

                      You want to find search terms with as many searches as possible while having as little competition as possible.

                      Competition is not determined by the number of searches but by the number of websites optimizing for that search term.

                        No, they don't and that was my point. They very well may be great keywords to go after but they do not get 100+ daily searches. Although I would still praise Daniel for his contributions to this thread, giving a lot of great info.

                          Well. 20-30 per day per article still is good - although going by fair share you're probably going to capture say 30-50% of these searches to be optimistic.

                            I'll go after terms with less than 100 searches per day if the competition is low.

              hi,

              sorry confused again,

              when i used the keyword search tool on google i typed a phrase like finding a date online & also typed in other words & the type of search i did was "phrase" too so i can write an article on this. But i looked for searches that were under 100 exactly. Then i put that phrase in google search on the actual google iste & searched in "" & i decided to use the keyword that had searches under 10,000 because in this thread thats what i thought was a good way.............am i doing this right then?

              & how do i know if the keywords have been used?

    Hi Tuzic,

    You have over 1,200 views but 14 clicks, I suspect your article is not implementing the AIDA formula (Attention, Interest, Desire and Action).

    Write keyword focus article doesn't mean you ignore the human...!

    My suggestion to you now...as you are beginner in Article marketing, Fxxx the keywords! Just focus on your content and create good AIDA article that really helps people.

    Just keep writing and submit to all article directories, as many as you can, no spinning, just the same article.

    Key is: Write article as fast as possible, write 5 articles a day, and submit them to all directories. I use ArticlePostRobot software to help me syndicate the articles.

    For each article you write, you send to 100 directories, so daily you will have 500 submission!

    After 50 articles, I guarantee you even your article not keyword targeted, you still get at least 50 visitors a day!

    This is a dummy method that works for volume...! Once you are used to AIDA writing, then back to optimize your article with keywords...

    Long tail keywords!

    If you have submitted 50 articles as I mention, you should seriously start learning the BUM marketing, SEO and on page optimization.

    Start working today.

    BTW, if you don't have topic to write, just repeat your topic in other words, you can rewrite the same topic, again and again and again.

      hi,

      now im really confused, so your saying NOT to focus on the keywords & just write an interesting article & submit the same article to about 100 directories?

      so which is better than ? write keyword focused articles & submit to EZA & go or just write one & submit everywhere?

        To answer your question - it depends on your goal. If your goal is traffic then just submit to EZA. If your goal is to get lots of backlinks to your site then use mass submission.

        The best thing to do is to stop discussing the ins and outs of article marketing and just try it. Everybody has their own way of doing things, and what works for one person may not work for another. Some people write keyword focused articles, some people prefer reader orientated articles. Neither are wrong.

        You'll never find what works for you until you start trying the different methods you've read about and test as many different variables as you can. Eventually you should find what works for you.

    "Articles are for building trust and credibility" - of course. The benefit in strict business sense: marked increase in conversion rates.

    I tried PPC. Didn't work for me - too 'cold' to convert.

    Article traffic, on the other hand, was absolutely fabulous - my simple (short) sales page converts predictably at ~6%. The ROI is simply staggering.

    That strange thing is happening again, google keyword tool lists this as 9,900 -12,100 searches, keyword tracker gives 32.

    When i type it in quotes in google i get this...

    Results 1 - 100 of about 749 for

    I think i could spin the keyword into my playground, but i'm not sure what to trust.

      That is a fine example of a good keyword.

    Wow, i think i've found an amazing groups of searches that it seems no one is targeting. It's a group of keywords relating to health asking for information, the keywords have nothing to do with a product but i'm sure it could be spun for a product or even an adsense blog would probably make a fair bit.

    Each keyword has between 1,000-12,000 searches, keyword tracker picks one up as 1,000 per day and yet no one is targeting them.

    Do you think i sohuld go ahead and work something out for these keywords?

    My opinion, Tuzic -

    Consider going into a less competitive niche which is not that 'saturated' yet - you'll find it easier to locate good long tail keywords.

      The more competition means there is more demand, so more potential sales. Both ways are effective, but high demand means more potential customers. It's just a matter of working hard and you can penetrate into any niche.

      Tuzic, don't listen to this advice. As someone who has been in the dating niche for years this market is only saturated by people who don't know what they are doing. I've seen hundreds of competitors come and go. Most of them fizzle out within a few months. The ones that ONLY rely on PPC are usually the first to go. You're getting some good advice here on how to mine for long tail keywords. Another thing to think about is using press releases and other forms of free publicity to get massive amounts of traffic to your site.

      You've also got to become an article and content creating machine. You can get so many ideas from other authors by looking at the titles of their articles and check and see how they rank in Google, Yahoo, and MSN (if you're so inclined). You should be promoting no less than ten products and have your autoresponder follow up with your opt-ins for at least a year.

    Tuzic, maybe you're starting in the wrong place

    In 4 days i've had 460 odd views and 65 click throughs, dominated both my keywords and am hoping for my first sale through EZA very soon!

    Give it another go dude, maybe try an area that's not so competative

          As many searches as possible with 10,000 or less competing websites when searched for with the keyword in quotes.

          I hope that is less confusing.

          You aim for 100+ in daily search results and less than 10,000 in competition.

            This is only ONE way to go about it. If you take a look at some of the more prolific article writers on the forum, you will soon see that there is more than one way to skin a cat.

            TimG - If you look at what he does you will see that he often targets keywords with as few as 10 - 15 searches a day with low competition
            and he is making a killing.

            Steven Wagenheim - I stalked this guy for over 2 months and I seriously
            think that before he started marketing products outside of the IM niche
            that he only targeted 2 keywords in his entire life and I think we all
            know the rest.

            When you are talking about Article Marketing or any kind of marketing in
            general, often times, there is no one size fits all solution. The correct way
            is the method that your comfort level allows you to take action, even if
            it is only a small amount.

            So, for people like Tuzic that are looking for some direction, I say this
            to you. Don't buy another product or try to learn a new method until
            you at least put what you already know into action to see what your
            results are. When you start being productive you will often times be
            surprised by how good your results are.

              Yes, Jeremy is right. This is my method and it has done wonders for me, but that doesn't mean it's the only way to do so.

              In fact Jeremy, I have been aiming for 30+ daily search results lately and it's giving me pretty awesome results (the competition for those keywords is usually even lower, therefore easier to rank for).

                I've been lowering my daily search limit too and have found a couple things to be true....

                1. The competition that is out there for those keywords...isn't very good
                2. I am actually getting more traffic than I expected
                3. It makes my life a whole lot easier

                • Wow. I just realized that I'm actually doing pretty well with article marketing even though I haven't done much of it.

                  3 live articles
                  202 article views
                  43 URL clicks

                  (and counting)

                  The articles have contributed such a small part of the total traffic that it never dawned on me that I have barely even scratched the surface.

                  Who knew?!? That means that for every 30 articles, I should get 430 URL clicks out of it -- not bad! Plus, you theoretically increase your search engine juice. Plus, people keep finding the articles themselves for a while, no?

                    If you do the proper keyword research and implementation then yes, people will find your articles forever, even after years of submitting them.

    Write something that is close to your heart or things that you really want then load it up with keywords!

    People think that by writing keyword loaded articles they would get several thousands of hits. Let let me tell you "NO!", to get traffic you must write something valuable! something with feelings, something that is true! then load it up with the proper keywords.

    Go to the article directories, check out the most read articles. This are the articles that are really valuable. Really thought out or written by experts. Maybe it is loaded with keywords but that doesnt mean that they just wrote whatever trash they could put in there and expect heavy traffic.

    People must like your articles..Then they will click on your link to get more of that good feeling or valuable information that your article has provided
    them. If your into seduction or attraction thing, look for the person in your group that is either really into seduction or someone who's been doing it for a long time. Then edit the wordings check where or what word you can replace with your keyword.

    Otherwise your article will be bland and in my opinion should not have been given anytime at all.

    If you want to increase traffic yet can't write QUALITT CONTENT then you're better off trying off page SEO. There are different ways to skin a cat.

    I'm not new to article marketing but now I finally feel like I have a good idea on how to make it work better for me.

    I have 45 articles with 82,775 pageviews & 7,148 url clicks but the majority of the views/clicks have come from one article (27,376/4,633).

    Thanks to this thread, I now realize what I did right with that one article.

    If you focus on your articles alone, it is hard to get started. I suggest that you combine article marketing with social bookmarking. If you promote your articles using sites like digg and propeller you will be able to get a lot more attention to your work. You will achieve more traffic and more backlinks with little extra effort.

      On the contrary, when you first start online it is better to use one method and stick to it until you are good with it and then move to something else, otherwise you might lose focus and get overwhelmed.

      What you suggest is not a bad idea regarding social bookmarking sites for the backlinks, but let him get it over with his articles first and then he can move onto another method.

        Daniel, Karin meant that it's a good idea to promote your articles by social bookmarking *them*. Works like a charm. I took one of my articles from 124 views to >1500 views over a single weekend using the same strategy. I think you mentioned using this strategy too.

        Only crappy thing is that the one's click-thru rate drops most of the time. I ignore it, and set a new ground zero after a few days when all the 'nosy' stumblers and diggers have helped to put my article on the most viewed list

        Of course, once you get on the most viewed list, your views and click-thrus start snowballing again...

            Yeah, digg doesn't accept EZA bookmarks, but I get a ton more traffic from stumbleupon than from Digg for most of my niches anyway. With the right title, the stumblers normally get me onto the most-viewed list in just days.

          Yes I do mention this is my system. However, I also mention that you should get the articles over and done with before. It's a good idea, but you should do it AFTER your articles are live.

  • Profile picture of the author stevecl
    100 searches a day should be the minimum. It also boils down to competition. The keyword i gave you has less than 2000 competing pages optimised for that keyword.

    So in a nutshell - you a have a keyword that gets searched around 1900 times a day with less than 2000 competeing websites that = potential earner

      ok yes i undeerstand now so more searches but less competition so more liekly to get hits = clicks - revenue.

      but how can i brainstorm? it sounds really easy looking for keywords and its easy find competitive keywords & well searched ones but its hhard find keywords that have 100+ searches & less than 10,000 searches on google, & find keywords that relate to the datin niche...like dating online profiles? or finding success by dating online?

    Dating = people looking to find a partner. What criteria do people use to find a partner. personality, (starsign Compatibility) etc. So if i was a gemini what star sign would be compatible to me?

      GoArticles has a much lower PR than EZA (PR3 and PR6 respectively) therefore they rank lower than EZA in the search engines. Although you could possibly solve that with a few backlinks, but you would have to give each of your articles around 100 backlinks PER article.

        Tuzic -

        Travis Sago sent out a little gift to his subscribers the other day. It's a PDF called "Write Like A Maniac," by Ed Lewis.

        I found it to be really inspirational and confidence-building. There don't seem to be any rights restrictions to it, so PM me and I'll get you a copy of it. It's 28 pages of explanation that "finally makes writing fun and not a chore."

        If anyone else is familiar with this book, do you know anything about distributing it freely? I'll make it available here if I'm sure I'm not violating any rights. The salespage writelikeamaniac.com is incomplete.

        I'm waiting to hear back from the author.

    Hello, I found a website that gives 7 Top benefits of doing article marketing. The three top reasons are:

    1. Attract visitors to your web site

    Distributing your articles to online publishers, article
    submission sites can instantly bring thousands of visitors
    to your web site. For example, if you manage to get your
    article accepted by a large ezine with half a million
    subscribers you will experience a sudden increase in
    subscribers or sales from your site.

    2. Establish yourself as an expert in your field

    It's not easy to trust people on the Net because you can't
    see them or you may have been ripped off by some
    fly-by-night schemer trying to make a quick sale. If people
    find your articles contain valuable information that they
    need, they will come to respect and trust your opinion. You
    then establish yourself as an expert in your field.

    3. Builds link popularity

    Search engines, particularly Google, place importance on
    the number of links that point to your site from other
    sites or directories. If many sites link to yours it helps
    boost your search engine rankings with the effect of
    increasing traffic and thus gaining more sales or
    subscribers from your site.

Create one LONG resource box that you save in your author account. Break it up into several paragraphs, each paragraph has a link to your offer page as above.
    Create an authors bio on every article submission sites where you normally post your articles to. Make it interesting and personal by communicating your hobbies, interest, personal stories, and experiences. Creating simple content will really only take you a small amount of time and once you get really good at it you are likely to be able to churn out a nice amount of them every hour or so.
