For all you bum marketers... how many articles are you spitting out to promote one product. Are you go for as many as possible per product or only a few per product?
I'm sure there are lots of different opinions, but I suggest writing enough articles to generate around 200 hops to your product to test. If you haven't sold anything with that many hops its probably not worth following up. As a rough guess, I would say 3-5 for articles for each product. If you get a sale, crank it up and write more!
I write 2-3 really high quality articles loaded up with great keywords. Then while I'm waiting for traffic I go start another project 2-3 articles pointing to a site. If I get traffic I crank it up with about 2-3 more articles if not I move on. It's a process that works for me. The biggest mistake I see people make is not doing the keyword research then giving up after one project.
In response to the above post... you really shouldn't have your articles 'loaded with keywords'. Target one or MAX two keywords in one article. You want a new article for every keyword term. So, one is more than enough, we don't want to confuse the search engines...
I agree. One keyword per article, if you have 10 great keywords then write 10 articles for them. Then write them and change them up and submit them to Go Articles after you submit them to Ezine
I'm kind of frustrated right now. Did some keyword research and found a good keyword that gets 500+ searches a day supposedly with literally no competition for the product I'm trying to promote. On the first page of google for this keyword, yet I haven't received any traffic to my article. I'm wondering if wordtracker was lying to me or what... it doesn't make sense to be ranked so high for what seems like such a good keyword yet with no traffic.
Trust me, I've had that exact same thing happen and I still don't understand why. But it happens. Some articles that I though wouldn't do anything get lots of traffic each day.
