Is the Mission Ever ‘Accomplished?’
Because the success of your articles strongly depends on the keywords used to find information on the Internet – and because the content and popularity of these keywords constantly changes — you’re going to have to create and upload new content – or archive older content in order to capitalize on the changes.
For example, a keyword that was popular a year ago may not be popular today, and vice versa. Your job as an SEO Article Marketeer is to make sure the content on your website caters to the fluctuating demand for information. So yes, there’s plenty more work to do, and no, you’re never finished with article marketing.
It isn’t unreasonable to expect some hard-edged results from all the work you do as an article marketeer, but solid figures just aren’t available – and they probably won’t ever be available. Results will vary from a number of factors including the latest, hot topic, article quality, article size and number, distribution, and more.
Our best suggestion toward gathering any realistic statistics behind article marketing is to:
1. Visit http://www.ezinearticles.com/ (or any of the other more popular article directories)
2. Search for the topic that you want to write about, and…
3. Take a count of the number of times each article was read.
This figure may give you an idea of how many people will read your own article(s). As an example, we searched for articles with the keyword, “monsters” in the title.
GoArticles listed 3,818 views for 15 of these articles, and from those results, we estimate that one article with “monsters” in the title has the potential of being read by about 254 people (or 254 times by a very forgetful person!). 50 articles with the keyword “monsters” in their title have the potential of being read by about 12,700 people, but 100 articles with a monster title have the potential of being read by about 25,400 people!
Of course, “potential” is a big word for only 9 letters, and we strongly recommend against making any wild and crazy financial investments based solely on a few articles about monsters!
A mother’s work is never done and an artist never really finishes a painting. So it is with Article Marketing. We’re quite sure that as this strategy grows, our knowledge about the phenomena, and our experience with meeting its demands will grow right along with it. While it does, you must continue to learn and update your strategy with new tricks and tips, or need-to-know info.
Good luck!
