    Hi
    In response to many tips on article writing and its use for traffic direction, i'm now two weeks into a monogomous writing, pasting and submitting programme. That's 35 unique articles placed around the web, yet my numbers remain low at 4 visitors a day, despite on going SEO, my niche is a difficult one, yet rewarding if broken down.
    Despite some members on here, telling me to give up, to them, i'm not going to. To those who employ karma and wish me luck as i do to you, then all i ask, is for some knowledge.
    How long can it take before these articles i'm placing (Each one unique) on the internet, before i can see an improvement in numbers. As for my four a day unique visitors, then my SEO keywords are being tweaked as we speak, just not landing those pages yet.

    I will prevail.

    Well wishes to you all

    bingoboots, it may be quite frustrating seeing that your efforts are not up to your expectations. Just persevere and always be positive no matter what people say. However, you must be open to constructive criticisms. Continue what your doing, your hard work will pay off. All the best to you!

    Tell them to ***** **********! Of course, don't give up!

    35 backlinks - that's not much even for an easy niche. You need to multiply this quickly. If you have spare $10, go to iSnare, pick the 5 best articles you've written and submit them for distribution. I don't know your niche but for one of my clients I did an article on style/fashion and a single article produced 71 backlinks. So, with just one shoot I did better than you elaborating on 35 articles (I'm not saying this to boast - it's just a comparison).

    If you go for distribution, do it gradually, don't spend it all at once :D

    Plus, article marketing on its own isn't designed to produce the result. You need to plug into other link building sources too!

    Dont give up , and let them say waht the want to.
    Your Articles are unique that doesnt means you are going to get traffic from them, But the important thing is that how you manipulate keywords, im not talking about keyowrd stuffing, but yeah play with them smartly and you will get there. And my suggestion would be for you is that always give atleast give 4-5 months to your new websites before even starting to think about monitizing them. Thats what i do, and it works.

    this is one of the biggest myths of the internet.

    great writing doesn't automatically mean great traffic.

    Just like great music doesn't mean instant stardom.

    And crap stuff can take off big time - think crazy frog.

    Your problem is that you aren't on a level playing field. You're doing everything by hand, slaving away there, while everyone else has automated.

    Sorry.

    That's just how it is.

    Very true! Think "4 Non Blondes" to name but one :(

    Are you sure that doing it on autopilot you don't lose quality? Creating an article that is readable by a human, takes time, effort and most importantly talent. If we take the example from my previous reply, I don't think I would end up with 71 link with an article that's been written automatically.

    Quality writing with SEO in mind can get you to the top of the google pile with just one article if you write it correctly, title it well and place it right.

    You know the cliche' about putting your hand on the stove burner to see if it's hot?


    I guess some people have a higher tolerance for pain than others.

    BTW bingoboots when you talk about "monogomous" writing, I assume you mean monotonous. If you are truly that bored writing your articles that may be why you are not getting the views.
    With so much competition out there, writers have to keep the reader interested and wanting more.
    Good luck!
