My boss made $270,000.00 in 90 days by cranking out many (no less than 1 per day) articles and getting them on many directories. I write about three a week and put them on only two article directories to get the traffic you are looking for.
The easiest thing to do is to find freelance writers than can write articles for you. Its so much easier
Yeah to get alot of traffic aim for 50 articles and then later on aim for 100. and later on even more. Like I said before. You can hire a freelance writer to write the articles for you. You can just have him/her write a few a week or whatever so you dont have to spend alot of money
It all depends and there is no magic formula. I would suggest you write very good articles and keep them on your site. If they are useful, you will get natural links. That is the best long term strategy...
There are way too many variables when it comes to article marketing to simply say that after writing "X" number of articles you will recieve "X" number of visitors. Are your article titles attention grabbing? Is the body of your article interesting enough for people to want to read all the way down to your resource box? Does your resource box have a strong call to action so that people feel compelled to click through to your site? Even if your articles have all of those elements the niche you're in will determine how many people might be interested in your article. I'm sure if I thought about it a little longer I could come up with even more variables but the point is, it's simply not possible to give you a simple answer to that question. The advice I would give you though is that not only should you write and submit articles on a regular basis, you should also build backlinks to your articles to get them ranking in the search engines. A lot of people say that article marketing is good for a short burst of traffic and then they die off. If you get your articles to rank high in the SERPs they can bring a lot of traffic for a long time.
What is your boss selling, diamonds or nuclear weapons? His articles must be advertising something very expensive to earn that much money from his visitors.
it doesn't really matters how many articles you submit in your site,it's the quality of the article that counts. As long as you submit a good article readers will come visit your sites.
Alot of you already know this, but, for the Affiliate Marketer it's not only the amount of articles you submit, it's also the length of the articles that's important. You may have alot of valuable info to share but if you're goal is to get people to click on your link at the botttom. Make your articles good but SHORT. Leave the readers wanting more. And make your link anchor text match your article.
