Article marketing is more than just about article submission. A few simple tips in this article will help you leverage your articles for more traffic and profits.
When you’ve finished with your article, usually you submit it to one or a few article directories and that’s it. Perhaps you write another article and repeat the same process again. While there is nothing wrong with this approach — in fact, you need to continually write and submit articles to make the effort effective — you can get more from it by tracking closely how the articles work.
Various reports that you can get from article directories can be helpful. You get feedback about which of your articles are the most popular. You also know which articles drive most traffic to your site, and other information as well.
You can use that information to improve your article marketing results.
Another source of worthy information is in your web access log. Your hosting provides this information for free and you should check them at least once a month.
For instance, if after looking at it you notice one or two sites referred you a lot of traffic, you may want to click through and find out why and which pages referred the traffic. If those site used your articles, you have just found a goldmine.
Web publishers who use your articles want more content. You can approach them by thanking them first for rerunning your article on their site and ask nicely if you can be a regular contributor to the site. By taking a shortcut, you secure the opportunity to get more traffic.
Chances are they will agree because they have used your article once, they will keep using more if you can guarantee the quality and if the future articles are still suitable for their audience. If you help them enough, they will allow you to “steal” their traffic by linking back to your site and giving your site a boost in link popularity due to the inbound links.
