Interesting: Traffic and Ezine articles
My main traffic looks like this:
Ezine articles: 31%
Google organic: 28%
Websites sharing my Ezine articles: 14%
I only really used Ezine articles to start out with because of backlinks. My domain name is .com and ranks anywhere from number 1 to 5 - which is where I was hoping to make most of the money.
What became more apparent is that more sites have been sharing my Ezine articles - which is largely possible because blog creators have more articles to choose from and there are niche sites I wouldn't expect to host my articles - using them.
It's only a 3 page site promoting a single product and my next step (since it's doing better) is to build a blog either on the same domain name or a new domain name and see if how much traffic I can get to that - before funnelling it through to the 3 page site.
And finally... I put this site up nearl 18 months ago and have done nothing else to it. It was averaging a sale a month most of the time.
Recent work on it has boosted my interest and because it's doing better - it'll get more attention and see if it's possilbe to get 1000 visitors to the supporting blog per day and see what % I can get to the money page.
The key to that isn't anything other than consistent daily progress or work.
