Comments on: How I quadrupled my daily visitor count in one month (total cost twenty bucks) http://www.affiliateblog.com/2006/04/how-i-quadrupled-my-daily-visitor-count-in-one-month-total-cost-twenty-bucks/ Tue, 19 Aug 2008 22:42:19 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Steve Gill http://www.affiliateblog.com/2006/04/how-i-quadrupled-my-daily-visitor-count-in-one-month-total-cost-twenty-bucks/#comment-129 Wed, 05 Apr 2006 14:59:54 +0000 http://www.affiliateblog.com/2006/04/how-i-quadrupled-my-daily-visitor-count-in-one-month-total-cost-twenty-bucks/#comment-129 Thanks for this very informative and thorough post. Although spammer-types have begun flooding the article field with their typical lazy methods off getting traffic to their spammy sites, using well written articles to promote a business is still very successful (as you've demonstrated here). Another angle to consider when submitting articles is to see if there's a way to spin the same content into a press release. Prweb.com is the one most touted I've seen, and although you can submit a PR for free there, a token amount of cash will increase its distribution (i.e. $20, $80, etc). With a little work and imagination - and a shot or two of whisky - I'm sure many articles could be associated with a news story of some sort or otherwise spun into a press release. -- re: "If you’re going to do this manually, pick sites with good traffic and/or article propagation" -- I have a free resource page that lists and periodically purges and updates many article directories. Each one has its Google PR rank indicated, along with other information, so that would be a decent way to figure out which ones get spidered most frequently and probably receive the most traffic. My resource is #1 on Google when searching for: article directories so anyone who would rather spend time instead of money (for software or submission services) can feel free to use that page. Congrats on your own success with articles and thanks again for writing up this comprehensive post and case study! Now that I've added you to my Bloglines rss reader I'm hoping to see more of the same! ;) Thanks for this very informative and thorough post.

– re: “If you’re going to do this manually, pick sites with good traffic and/or article propagation” –

I have a free resource page that lists and periodically purges and updates many article directories. Each one has its Google PR rank indicated, along with other information, so that would be a decent way to figure out which ones get spidered most frequently and probably receive the most traffic.

My resource is #1 on Google when searching for:
article directories
so anyone who would rather spend time instead of money (for software or submission services) can feel free to use that page.

Congrats on your own success with articles and thanks again for writing up this comprehensive post and case study! Now that I’ve added you to my Bloglines rss reader I’m hoping to see more of the same! ;)

I googled the top article in my category and found 6000 pickups. Talk about successful. I wonder, how do you get an article to get picked up that many times? I had one featured on searchwarp.com as an excellent article. Got plenty of traffic from them but never received any pickups. Also, out of curiosity, did you subscribe for the platinum membership at isnare? I'm considering doing it for a month and publishing a new article every day. Hopefully that will get me to the tipping point for article marketing traffic. Yes, you’re probably right. I googled the top article in my category and found 6000 pickups. Talk about successful.

Google Affiliate Programs...you get 146,000,000 pages. Internet Marketing gives you 809,000,000. Real Estate Investing yields 66,800,000. So while there may arguably be more demand for Affiliate Programs and Internet Marketing, there certainly is an abundance of supply. As far as articles go - Ezinearticles.com lists 988 articles about real estate investing, 978 about Affiliate Programs, and 7,020 about Internet Marketing. I strongly believe that if you write quality articles that appeal to your target audience you will get exposure, regardless of your topic or niche. Au contraire, Mr. Morrow…

For other site topics, such as real estate investing, I've noticed less less of an effect. But it's still worthwhile.
