I have some actual data to report, but first let me provide some context.  even weeks ago I became a member of an article marketing service.  I don’t literally know the man who owns this service, but 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.

Due to my many prior experiences with this boy genius (well, he’s not really that young), 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 traffic, and who among us is not constantly looking for fresh one-way external links.  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 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.  I can also put an affiliate link directly into the article if I choose, another “no-no” with article directory syndication.  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 submitted 58 well spun article.  Unique versions of those articles now appear on over 1900 pages on the web.  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.  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.”

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!  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.  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.

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