I posted four articles to Associated Content last year, three that they paid for. What's the best way to get traffic to these articles as in addition to paying for articles directly they will pay you for people viewing them?
Social Bookmarking, posts with a link to the article in forums/blogs that are relevant.. Visit Yahoo! Answers and find questions that your article may be able to answer. AC has a whole section dedicated to helping you get your article page "out there".
Stumble is absolutely amazing for this. I did a walkthrough for Stubbs the Zombie. With just a stumbles, I got 600 visitors and it seems to have gotten a bit more authority because of it. The three paying ones I've submitted are earning a nice little 3 cents every week or so. Not bad for no additional work.
