Another Article Marketing Myth Blown To Heck

Know what I love? I love all these "Notification Of Payment" emails that I get
from PayPal or the CB-xxxxx emails I get from Clickbank. They really keep you
inspired on days when you think it's just too much trouble doing all this work
for the money we make.

But that's not the point of this post.

See, today, I got one of those CB emails (only vendors get them) and I
noticed something strange about it.

It wasn't for my main Clickbank product in that account. You know how you
can have multiple products under one account, right?

Well anyway, I looked at the number and didn't recognize the product
right away, so what I did was go to my tracker to see where the sale
came from because I've stopped promoting off number products for a
long time now.

Okay, know that myth about how your articles that you submit to
directories over time eventually just stop bringing you in traffic and you
have to keep writing them in order to continue getting traffic?

Well, today, an article that I wrote and submitted on 3/26/2007, brought
me in a sale. Now, admittedly, it was the first one in quite a while from
that article, but still, here it is 20 months later and people are still finding
that article on line.

As a matter of fact, much to my shock, that article has been average
over a view a day this month.

Then I started going through ALL my old EZA articles. I love their new
tracking stats.

Guess what?

ALL my old articles from 2007 are averaging over a view a day.

Imagine what will happen when I go from having 1200 articles online to
2400 articles online.

The momentum doesn't stop folks, whatever people tell you. Your old
stuff, if it's good, will still bring in views and visitors.

This is a good part of the reason that between 2006 and now, my income
online has more than doubled.

Hard work? Yeah.

Takes dedication and persistence? Yeah.

Have days where you just don't feel like writing? Yeah.

But one day, I'm going to look up, find that I've built an empire and then
I'll be able to go out surfing with J-Mo.

But first I have to learn how to swim.
