Marbella SEO

First a little background.  even weeks ago I became a member of an article marketing service.  While I don’t actually know the guy that designed this remarkable tool for online marketers, I think he should let me borrow it for my next vacation].

Because of my past experiences with this guy, I was confident that the service would accomplish for me what it promised: 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.  First, I am able to put contextual links into the body of the article.  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.  Second, the articles go directly to websites for publication, sites that are in my niche or a closely related 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.  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.  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.  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.

About half the articles are directed toward my newest site, which I just started building three months ago.  Alexa couldn’t even find that site when I first joined this system, and now it has climbed in the Alexa rankings more than 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.  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.  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.  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!
