EzineArticles Member Stats Feature

June 6, 2010 By Lisa Angelettie 2 Comments

There is a reason why I strongly recommend that article marketers should use EzineArticles.com as their primary article directory. Especially if you are new to article marketing. The reason why is that the team over there continually adds new features that tremendously benefits authors. The latest feature which they have introduced in beta is the Member Stats feature.

Ezinearticles has been providing authors with member stats for quite a while now, but they were distributing the information separately. Some of the info came via email. Some was in your author admin backend. What they have done now is combined all that information in one place which you can find in your admin backend and added some nice visuals (graphs etc.) that make it much easier to understand what your statistics are and what they mean.

Things You Will Discover In The Member Stats Area Include:

1. Number of article view per month

2. List of 5 most viewed articles

3. Keyword stats for those most viewed articles

4. Author stats which include how many people viewed your author bio/profile per month

5. How many people clicked on your url links

6. How many times your article was published

7. Several ways to view these stats (combined, just author stats, just article stats)

8. A link to download your articles and their stats in CSV format or the ability to print them

So What Do I Do With These Stats?

I’m glad you asked:) The reason why I thought the new member stats features was worth writing about is because knowing your article marketing statistics is vital to knowing what your next article should and will be.

These stats will help you learn what articles people in your niche read most, what keywords they used to find your articles during a Google search, and perhaps how interested those readers were in finding out more about you by clicking on your EzineArticles profile.

This is the type of information that people have paid big bucks for or that they use a website statistic program (like Google Analytics) for. Yet now you can write and publish your articles in front of a very large audience AND get this type of valuable information on those articles over at EzineArticles for FREE.

This means that you can write more content using keywords that should produce more results in the search engines. In other words, you will be that much closer to writing and publishing articles that both readers and Google loves:)

Where Can I Find This Feature?

In your author area home, look in the left hand column — it is in the third section down (account statistics). Should be the last link in that section “New Stats Overview”. Just click.

Make Money Promoting Article Marketing Tips On Amazon

May 1, 2010 By Lisa Angelettie 6 Comments

Are you an Amazon.com affiliate? Isn’t everybody:) If you are and you love article marketing or writing articles, then it should be a no-brainer to promote article marketing tips and strategies to your Kindle readers.

Even with the competition heating up (iPad, Nook, Sony Reader), Kindle sales are still great and people are slowly using their Kindles for more than reading novels. They are subscribing to newspapers, blogs, and reading their favorite PDF files. (I read many of my information products on my Kindle:)

Also, I can tell by my slowly increasing income from folks who have subscribed to my blog, that interest is picking up. So as you are promoting books, products, etc., think about also promoting CONTENT. While you will not pay your mortgage with the money you make:), my argument is that it’s something new and fresh to offer your members AND something you may want to learn more about so that you can promote your own content as well. Just a few quick steps…

1. Sign up as an affiliate over on the Amazon site

2. Get your code to promote my Article Marketing Tips blog subscription

3. To find the product in amazon, you can use my direct link or you can do a search for “article marketing tips” on Amazon.

4. Talk about it on Twitter

5. Spread the news on Facebook

6. Write an article about it on your site, for your ezine, or for an article directory.

Twitter Automation

April 26, 2010 By Lisa Angelettie 6 Comments

I am a strong believer in the use of article marketing automation and social media tools, because there just aren’t enough hours in the day to do everything ourselves. So one social media tool that I use quite a bit to automate my article marketing is Twitter.

While you need to actively be present and writing messages on Twitter to build relationships with folks, there are parts of your life on Twitter which can totally be automated and increase your visibility and traffic all at once.

FIRST, you need to set up your blog and article directory RSS feeds to automatically post your newly published articles to your Twitter account. I do this with a free service called  Twitterfeed. What this means is that as soon as your articles are published, they will also be posted to your Twitter stream. People can click on the links and go read your articles. This will greatly increase the amount of traffic you get to your articles. Sometimes people just need the information placed in front of them instead of waiting for them to find it.

SECOND, you need to be able to automatically schedule tweets, add tweet followers, unfollow folks who you aren’t interested in, and send direct messages (like welcome messages). You can set all of this up to work automatically with a great Twitter tool I like called TweetAdder (my affiliate link:). I have been using this tool for a couple of months now to naturally schedule SOME of my tweets and to follow or unfollow people. All I have to do is login and it does all the work for me everyday. (Voted best Twitter adder software and is both Mac and Windows compatible.)

Article Distribution: Frequently Asked Questions

March 11, 2010 By Lisa Angelettie 4 Comments

I receive inquiries every week on how to effectively execute article distribution. So I thought this would be a good time to address several of the most common questions sent to me by members:

Q. How often should I distribute my articles?

A. It is important to the search engines that you build links back to your site “naturally”. And that is what you are doing when you publish and distribute your articles to different places. You are building links. So it is best to not distribute too many articles at one given time. Instead it is better to “drip” your article distribution.

Q. Should I use an article distribution software program?

A. It is no secret that I have bought, tried, and tested almost every article distribution software out there and frankly am not impressed. So should you invest in a software product to see results in your article marketing? I don’t think it is neither essential nor necessary. Distributing your articles manually is just fine.

Q. Should I use an article distribution service?

A. I have also invested in several of the top submission services and like these much better than article distribution software programs, BUT they have their downsides too. Some have a pretty steep monthly fee, which I think works against the spirit of article marketing. One of the great things about article marketing is the fact that it is free, costs you nothing, and having to pay an arm and a leg to have someone simply distribute my articles is not something I prefer to do.

What I do LIKE about many article distribution services is that some have well-established connections with highly ranked and trafficked sites that would be great place for your articles. These are sites that many of us would have no real opportunity of getting published on by ourselves. So sometimes, that is worth the investment.

Q. Is there an article distribution service that you recommend?

A. Out of all of the services that I have used, I think the one with the strongest connections to 3rd party sites and superior customer service is Submit Your Article. There are a few others that are good as well — but I think that SYA has the strongest 3rd party site connections and superior customer service.

Q. How many places should I distribute my articles for effective article marketing?

A. There are two approaches that most marketers seem to take with the distribution of articles. One is to try and publish articles to as many places as they can in an effort to build backlinks and traffic. Yet this is the type of approach that leads to duplicate content penalties. The other is to publish articles to strategic places based on traffic, importance, page rank, usability, etc. This is the stronger approach, and with it you only need to distribute articles to “select” places.

Q. How much time should I spend on article distribution?

A. Contrary to what you may hear from marketers who want to sell you some “bright and shiny” software program, etc., you do not have to spend a lot of time on article distribution. Remember that quality is much more important than quantity. I rather publish and distribute my articles to 3 kick-butt directories than a 1000 no-traffic blogs.

How To Add Article Marketing Content To Your Website

February 3, 2010 By Lisa Angelettie 3 Comments

If you have been following my blog or my list for a while now, you realize that I do not do a lot of “personal posting” on my site. In fact, I do very little of that because I don’t have much time for that nor do I think that’s what my community wants. We can chat it up on Twitter or Facebook if you want to ask me about my kids, my dog, my husband or my home office:)

No — I write a lot of information-based content, because I love to do it, the search engines love it, and most of all my community loves it. It’s important as you are growing your business, and building your community, that you keep providing members good content; but if you have been struggling with creating consistent content, let me show how you can add solid article marketing, information marketing, and social marketing information and tips to your site for free in less than 5 minutes! It’s called article syndication.

article syndicationDo you have a Twitterfeed? If not, you should. This free tool will feed your blog’s RSS feed to your Twitter and/or Facebook accounts therefore notifying your followers every time you post something on your blog. We will use this same tool to feed my article marketing articles to your Twitter followers as well — giving them more valuable content while also increasing their exposure to you.

1. So open a free Twitterfeed account or Login to your existing account.

2. Add my RSS feed as well as your own to your account: http://feeds2.feedburner.com/LisaAngelettiesSmallBizBlog

3. Track your feeds and see real-time stats through your Twitterfeed account.

That’s it, your done! More content to your followers and fans – zero work on your part:)

Make sure to let me know in the comments below if you’ve syndicated my content and I’ll give you a shout out! Or if you have any other ideas for adding fresh content.

Website Traffic: Where Does Your Traffic Come From?

December 3, 2009 By Lisa Angelettie 14 Comments

Website Traffic

Website Traffic

In one of my private coaching groups of which I am a member, the group was polled on where our traffic was coming from. This group doesn’t really have too many newbies, it is for intermediate and advanced marketers. So I found the results interesting. Choices included: Podcasts, Videos, Social Marketing, Article Syndication, Search Engines, Links From Other Sites, and Other. The top two sources of traffic for members which represented 70% of the results, came from the search engines and from article syndication. Both of which are content driven.

1. Search engine traffic comes from people who have found your content organically through a search online. There has to be content with keyword phrases that exists in order for you to be found. Rarely in this day and age can you just rank for keywords based on your website title or url. You need to have content living on your site to make an impact on the search engines.

2. Article syndication occurs when someone republishes one of your articles on their website, newsletter, etc. So that just goes to show you that whether you are just beginning or have been at this a long time — writing content (articles) is what ultimately will bring you REAL and long-lasting traffic that visits your site again and again.
