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.

I have some hard data to report, but before I do let me provide some background with you.  Almost fifty days ago, I made the wise choice of becoming a member of an article marketing service.  While I don’t actually know the guy that designed this remarkable tool for online marketers, I think he should let me borrow it for my next vacation].

Because of my past experiences with this guy, I knew that this new concept would give me what I was looking for: An innovative way of distributing my articles.  Like any Internet marketer, I could always use more traffic, and is there anyone who isn’t on the look-out for a way to add external links pointed toward our virtual real estate?  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.  Second, the articles go directly to websites for publication, sites that are in my niche or a closely related niche.  Once again, great for traffic and SEO.  Third, since some of my business involves affiliate marketing, with this service I can put an affiliate link directly in the article, if I want–another thing that the article directories don’t allow.  Perhaps the greatest advantage is this:  The system has a built in article spinner so that if I prepare my articles well, each website that receives my article can publish a unique version of it (essential for any SEO gains).

After almost fifty days, I thought that I would check to see what I had accomplished so far.  I’ll present just a few of my results regarding my relationship with My Article Network.

Now the articles trickle out to the sites, so those I’ve put into the system so far are all at different points in their publication schedule.  I have written not quite sixty articles for the system, so far–all very well spun.  Over 1900 web pages now consist of my unique versions of those articles.  I have between one and three links in each article, so my conservative best guess is that my sites singled out for promotion through this system have received somewhere in excess of four thousand links.  Obviously, it will require additional time for some of those links to be noticed by the various search engine.  Some of my links are actually pointed at other of my articles published on article directories and some of the sites in the system to give them a little more “link juice.”

About half the articles are directed toward my newest site, which I just started building three months ago.  From the first time I noticed it in the Alexa rankings (after I had joined this network) it has climbed over two million positions!  In fact, it gets more traffic than some of my sites that have been around for quite a while.  Indeed on the oldest site that I ever built (that I still own), has received no attention from me in months, but I entered nine articles into this system and that site’s Alexa ranking has improved by more than 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.  Only six days ago, I decided I should just keep records of the results, so I set up a spread sheet.  During that six day period, the eight sites that I have promoted using this distribution network have risen in Alexa a cumulative total of over five million positions.  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 actually became so excited by the whole process that I have subsequently created four new blogs to join the over 10,000 websites that are eager publishers for the content that we writer-marketers provide.
