We are getting an excellent response from our first article. It went into searchwarp. First off the article shows on google first page for two terms relevant to our industry. In 3 weeks the article has more traffic than any source we have other than direct visits, google, yahoo, and msn. (75% of our total traffic is direct, 20% SE and 5% links). We have had a number of visits off the links - 5% of the traffic to the article - and 1 conversion. I'm totally surprised...and happy at the results. Above all I'm amazed at how high the article shows for those terms. (Obviously not real competitive) Need help and ideas on how to capitalize on this further. 1. Think I'll add pages to the site that optimize for these phrases. 2. There are other phrases and potential articles that cover phrases that could expand our marketing and reach. Articles can be a great way to test certain keyword phrases. I'm wondering if I get links to the article (while it links to us...it is written in a way that is more even handed than content on our site...which is clearly directed to us.). I'm searching for ways to capitalize on this. Can you help? Dave
If you have 2 sites or even 3; link the other sites to the page that lists all articles by your user name. the increased PR will definitely help the listings. I do that; most of my articles go to 1 site of my two main ones; so the second site links to my summary page. I've gotten decent traffic from the articles and a few conversions too.
Thanks: What a cool thing. First article for us. Can't wait to do some more. I have two sites that are themed for this. I'll get some links to the article. Dave
I think I have 20 articles on searchwarp. If you search google for "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" my site comes in at 5/6, searchwarp comes in at 7. They get some clicks too, and the clicks come back to me with a nice conversion rate. Articles are a definite way to get some good solid traffic and rankings. Free links from a non-commerce site? Can't beat it. Too bad most other article sites aren't as easy to submit to as searchwarp - its by far the easiest I've found.
I'll be a monkey's uncle!!! That is astounding. And the number of visits to the searchwarp site is dynamite...let alone the traffic you must get..and the links to your site from the article. That's a killer!!!
Try Pr Web for article/ news release. They are a great source for getting information out to the consumers. In the last week I have had over 500k views of my news articles released. These articles will show up in google, yahoo and MSN plus several other SEs. One of my articles has gotten a # 2 placement in the natural results for a very good key phrase. Contact Mario at 866-640-NEWS tell him Las Vegas Homes a Realtor in Las Vegas sent you. You will be glad you did. Trust me
My domain names have a long time ago come out of the real estate filter. If you have a related article, I can host it and we can add your banner on top to give you some exposure for your information. If you have a good, unique article about real estate in any area of the United States or Canada please PM me! Thanks.
Lorien: Have seen my article drop in serps for its keyword phrase. Haven't put links up on it yet. I imagine, with your example above the links keep the phrase high in serps...as articles get archived and lose effectiveness. Additionally, key phrases can be attacked by articles and the site. All very cool. I'm still learning. Dave
Are articles archived on that site? I'm not so sure. I'm hiring elance people to write articles for me, I post them on search warp and on my site as well, with links to appropriate pages in my site. I've seen em have a great effect. If you link to the page that lists all articles by you, even if they ever do get archived, I don't think it'd matter would it? Yesterday, I did find another site (Pr5) that gave me 23 PR4 pages to put advertisements on (about 7 links/text block with graphics and text that they designed and I approved and will very nice for traffic too based upon placement) for $200/year. That was my best find in months - I've been scrounging on link worth for a while looking for good spots to put ads on.
Great deal. We have a hard business that draws people off the web. I can't say how much we spend on print media...but it is stupid high. Over the last 2 years the web has been responsable for 1/2 our volume. We spend far far far less on web advertising in all ways than on traditional advertising. BTW; our business slows toward Christmas. I'm negotiating for links from some of the more potent link sources I found from google content ads. Currently the prices are ugly compared to your find. We will see though over time.
I;m looking for alternate methods of advertisement beyond SE's right now. There has to be more to life online than google. I might run a test with burstnet on targeted sites and see if it is remotely close to breaking even.
Feel free to submit your articles to me. I will put them in my site "Free Webmasters Resource" and have no problems in leaving an info box that includes a link to your site. I am always looking for free content (articles, scripts, tutorials, web templates, graphics, anything!) and feel its only fair to say where it came from.
How much do you charge to submit an article to the list (The site says you offer that service) Cheers
