    5 article per month on a site. depends on my mood and the available articles i have. usually an article can be seen in more than 2000 sites after a month or two. but IBL only produces 40-60% of it.

    I submit 10 articles a month - trying to raise the bar to about 50/mo, then 100/mo and eventually 100/week (Once I quit my job and devote 100% time to my own stuff). I had asked this question in the past. Some responses I got:

    Depends! (Most of the reponse on the thread)

    50 Articles / week (ysf1)

    If you are in a hurry to build up BLs then you better submit good number of fresh content every week.

    How can you have so much to write this many articles? I am sure most people do not have enough time to write articles for their own sites, let alon produce a bunch for article submission.

    They could be paying for content. I myself have a day job and cant devote the time to stay home and write an article. Id rather let a pro do it for a bulk deal 100+ that works out to 8 dollars an article. Then monthly subscriptions to article submit services like isnare (still trying them out) etc. In total it works out to about 3-4 hours work for each article (writing & submit). In three to 4 hours I make more then 100$. It becomes opportunity cost at this point.

    I never hardly submit articles, but last month I had submitted just over 25 articles. I had them written for me for about $13 per article and I had a submission service so that I could get them distributed.

    Article writing is not rocket science. At present it is mix and match, I pay for the content as well write myself. I have timed myself and I can compose a decent article 5-600 words in 30 minutes (on a subject I know - ofcourse it will be bit more time on a new subject). To hit 100 articles/month - I will be writing 2 articles a day and getting 2 a day written from third party - that makes it 120 - take out Sundays every month and I will have 104 articles/month.

    No time? Well - figure out priorities - if you really don't have time to write - get it written from somebody.

    It depends. I can write 10 a week, and the week after, nada... zero.

    I will start to get my articles written, because I think I am losing traffic. And it is good to outsource and get some free time too.

    Lets say some one submits 30 articles a month (1 a day), how much benefit is that likely to produce as far as traffic is concerned for the site that is being marketed through these articles?

    Traffic through articles? Where do you plan to submit these articles? PR sites? Niche directories? If you are submitting at article directories - traffic benefit will be very close to 0% but it will be beneficial gaining BLs (that is if you include BLs in your articles). 30 articles a month is 365 articles a year - not bad. Even though if you submit articles, your articles should be crawled by the bots otherwise it is useless, hence it is important you figure out which ADs are genuine - you bluntly ask the webmaster (why should I submit to your AD) and if the answer is well you get BLs - well that is one heck of a generic answer. My first article I submitted to Pr0 to Pr5 dirs. Now I submit to only few ranging Pr3-Pr6 (those which were Pr0 are not Pr3). I don't submit to Pr0 anymore because I know they will pick up my article from one of the distribution sites.

    Coming back to your question - incoming traffic benefit can be high if your article is highly visible - the only way to achieve that is to pay to get your article featured in high traffic sites.
