Five Tips to Generate More Traffic for Your Articles
by Ryan J James
Once your article is published to an internet to a site like InfoBarrel or Squidoo, you just sit back and watch your Ad-sense earnings rolls in, right? Wrong! Getting the article published is just half the battle. You now need to share your wisdom with the rest of us in cyberspace. After all, wouldn't the world be a better place if everybody could learn about and appreciate your brilliance? I say that tongue in cheek, but in all seriousness, if you follow these tips, you will increase your readership.
If you get the chance to talk with somebody who has been posting their articles online, they may quietly tell you that they are earning between $0.25 and $2.00 per month for every article in their portfolio. This assumes that their articles are Search Engine Optimized - that is, the topic they are writing about has a good amount of general internet traffic without a lot of competition. Earning money from article writing is a numbers game, and it is critical that you be aware of the direct correlation between people reading your article and your AdSense income. You are likely to generate approximately $15.00 for every 1,000 views from Ad-Sense on average. If you hear that an article earned $1.00 in advertising revenue, you can do the calculations to know that the article had around 70 page-views. That is a decent number for a person who has not researched their keywords, not independently promoted their articles and not tried other monetization strategies (i.e. affiliate leads).
In other words, to make money writing articles, you must generate page views.
Once I receive confirmation that my post has been published, I follow this 5-part checklist to maximize my viewership:
1. If possible, insert natural looking links from your older articles that link to your newest article. The key thing is that this needs to look natural. If done properly, it helps your reader link to related content, which improves the probability they find something they like or would recommend to others. For example, I had an article on "Classic Bollywood movies" ghost written for me. I picked this topic because it had unusually good search volume. In this article, I stated that Bollywood actors were India's version of Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp. Later on, I wrote profiles on both Pitt and Depp. When these later articles were published, I went back to my original Bollywood article and hyperlinked the articles for Pitt and Depp.
2. Some article hosting sites will feature authors and articles. If your article host has this, it is worth your while to apply for a feature. I am an author on InfoBarrel and submit every one of my articles as a potential feature. So far, roughly 40% of my work is being showcased on InfoBarrel's front page.
3. Create a regularly recurring auto-tweet about your new article on a product like Tweet Adder. If possible, include the twitter handles of famous people who might be interested in the subject and retweet your article. This happened to me once - I wrote a piece about Howard Stern and his re-tweet generated nearly 10,000 views within 24 hours.
4. Update your Google AdSense account with the new url of your latest article. This will allow you to monitor the traffic and the income from each article in your portfolio. After a while, you will realize that certain subjects tend to out-perform other subjects. This is valuable for your evolution as an article writer. To do this, go to your Google Adsense account, then go to 'My Ads', then 'URL Channels'.
5. Post the article to various social media sites (StumbleUpon, Facebook, Pintrest, etc) to drive extra traffic to your site.
