Article Marketing

Okay, I've concluded a little experiment on Article Marketing, consisting of 12 articles marketed over the last few months. And my findings are good, though a few things could changeit.

Firstly, you must realize my bit of research uses lots of subjective values. This is just how it is.

I found that the average article recieved 1.5 click-throughs; via a click trough rate of 2.9%. Thus the average article recieves about 51 hits per month. This rate seems to sustain itself so far, but varies dependng upon article interest level and content.

I came up with bit of a formula to represent content quality and hits, and how they related.

Quality x .5 = Hits

A very rough formula. The quality is a factor of 1 to 10; though as you can see; this is a very restrictive formula.

However, we can assume that the lower quality articles will be produced in far superior quantity. More than likely, you wont even realize the quality of an aricle until you've published it, so we can assume all are 2.5 Hits Per Month.

If you post one article a day for a month; assuming its of average quality, you will be producing 65 hits per month to your target website.

To generate 1000 hits per day to that website, you need an astounding 12,000 articles. Thats 400 per day if you plan to do it in a month; and 33 per day if you plan to do it in a year!

I suppose you had best get writing!
