First a little context. even weeks ago I became a member of an article marketing 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.
Because of my past experiences with this guy, I knew that this new concept would give me what I was looking for: 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. For example, I can now put my links directly into the body of the article rather than assigning them to a resource box. That’s something that isn’t allowed in most article directories, but contextual linking offers greater benefits in terms of search engine optimization and traffic maximization. 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. I can also put an affiliate link directly into the article if I choose, another “no-no” with article directory syndication. Fourth, the distribution system has a built in article spinner, so that the version of the article that each website publishes can be unique.
Let me tell you what my membership has helped me achieve in the less than seven weeks that I have been a member. I’ll present just a few of my results regarding my relationship 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 written not quite sixty articles for the system, so far–all very well spun. 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. Obviously, it will require additional time for some of those links to be noticed by the various search engine. In other words, a lot of the work that I’ve put into this distribution already will reach the maximum benefit months down the road.
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. As far as I can tell, that additional traffic can be attributed only to this network and my measly efforts in writing content for distribution that is related to this niche in the past seven weeks.
I’m quite pleased with the results so far, but I have been lax in my tracking. 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. I realize that Alexa is not the finest measure of progress, but I still think that’s a very strong indication of getting my money’s worth and then some.
I became so enthused, I actually started four new blogs just to take advantage of all the free content that is available in this system. By the way, adding websites is free; maybe that explains why there are over 10,000 sites in the system ready to publish articles!
I strongly suggest that you become a member of My Article Network. Yes, you affiliate marketers out there, you can become an affiliate–after you join the article distribution service.
