I have some actual data to share, but before I do let me provide a little background.  Almost fifty days ago, I made the wise choice of becoming a member of an [1] 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 entirely unique, effective approach to content marketing.  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?  In order to achieve both these objectives–traffic and improved SEO–I rely heavily upon article marketing.

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 most article directories don’t allow, but I know that it is more effective for both traffic generation and for search engine optimization.  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.

After almost fifty days, I thought that I would check to see what I had accomplished so far.  Here are just a few of the highlights of my experience with [2] 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 submitted 58 well spun article.  Over 1900 web pages now consist of my unique versions of those articles.  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.

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.  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.  I can’t attribute that traffic growth to anything other than those nine articles–and the system that distributed them.

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.  Not bad for six days.

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 urge you to check out [3] My Article Network.  Yes, you affiliate marketers out there, you can become an affiliate–after you join the article distribution service.
