Fewer Than Fifty Days With an Article Syndication Network

Posted by iberbiz in Internet marketing

I have some data to report, but first let me provide some background.  Fewer than fifty days ago, I made the smart decision to become a member of an article marketing service.  While I don’t actually know the guy that designed this remarkable tool for online marketers, it seems to me as if I do, because I have bought so many of his products and joined enough of his membership services to have paid for a good part of his car.  [He should at least offer me a ride in it

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.

In the past, most of my subtly promotional articles have gone to article directories, but this new network offers some important advantages over article directory submissions.  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.  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).

Let me tell you what my membership has helped me achieve in the less than seven weeks that I have been a member.  Here are just a few of the highlights of my experience 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.  Over 1900 web pages now consist of my unique versions of those articles.  I have between one and three links in each article, so I estimate that the sites I have been promoting have added a cumulative total of around 4000 external links.  Of course many of those are so new that they haven’t been picked up by the search engines, yet.  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.”

I started a new site in a very competitive niche about three months ago, and I have directed the links from more than half of my articles toward that site’s promotion.  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.  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.

Okay, if you like those numbers, take a look at this.  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 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.

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.
