I recently met a CSN member, Matt Lewis face-to-face at a conference. Here’s what he had to say…

Watch This…

There’s another feature to the Article Statistics module that I haven’t even mentioned yet. It will amaze you. I’ll release another video in a few days highlighting this crucial element that will make you smile.

As indicated in the previous post, I’ll be running a special next week for Content Spooling Network members to add this article stat tracking module to their account. If you’re not yet a member, sign up today for your complimentary 21 day trial account.

The Content Spooling Network is about to release an upgrade module to CSN members… Article Stats Tracking.

Here’s a piece of a screenshot showing the referrals stats of one of my published articles:

This module will also show the number of visitors who came from each external article directory as well as search engines & keywords!

On top of that, if there’s an “action” (such as sale or optin) that you want to track, you’ll be able to track the conversion rate per article and source… so not only will you know that 50 visitors came from your article posted on Ezinearticles.com, you’ll also know that 10 of those visitors opted into your newsletter.

This type of tracking has previously only been available to anal retentive article marketers who spend hours porting their stats into an excel spreadsheet with a list of their articles.

To Content Spooling Network members who purchase this integrated upgrade module, everything is tracked automatically. You’ll know at a glance which of your efforts are producing the best results.

I’ll be running a special next week for Content Spooling Network members to add this module to their account. If you’re not yet a member, sign up today for your 21 day trial account.

Content Spooling Network 21 Day Trial

I sent an email out last night and got a handful of new Content Spooling Network members. I also got a handful of questions from prospective members who needed more info before signing up.

To be honest, the main reason I’m currently offering a 21 day free trial of CSN is that it is very hard to be thorough on the sales page of all the membership benefits.

In fact, a month or so back, I decided that I wouldn’t even try to directly sell CSN membership… instead I was selling access to some training materials and then forcing people into a 30 day trial of CSN. It is a lot easier to sell access to training materials than to sell membership to a tool that will do all the work for you.

But members have been so excited about CSN, and I’ve been adding so many time-saving tools that I knew I had to make it public again.

My CSN Overview

So here’s my most concise description of CSN:

The Content Spooling Network is a non-reciprocal unique article exchange network that directly publishes your articles to related sites of other members along with top article directories. In addition to the article publishing tools, to facilitate article marketing success, CSN integrates the following services:

• A low-cost keyword research service. (Currently $10 for a thorough report of suggested keyword to target, which takes our server a couple hours to process.)
• A low-cost ghostwriting service for original articles. (Currently $5.20, which is basically our cost.)
• A low-cost ghostwriting service for article rewrites. (Currently $2-$5 per rewrite depending upon length — again, at cost.)

So what’s the point?

The point of our “article marketing autopilot” tools & services is to get more targeted traffic to your site. This includes direct traffic from links in your published articles along with SEO benefits from the incredibly enhanced link reputation that will come with relevant backlinks in each of your published articles.

There’s currently a 3 minute overview video on the sales page. Here’s a 6 minute overview that didn’t make the cut but provides more details:

I get asked all the time how many article directories should be used for article submission. Everyone agrees that Ezinearticles.com makes the cut. But what about others?

There are two positions on this:

Position 1: The more the merrier!

Since the more links you have the better, you should just submit to any directory that will have you.

The error here is that most of these links will be meaningless if you submit the exact same article to each directory.

Position 2: Concentrate on a few top directories.

Since only a few top directories make a difference anyway, you should just submit to those and not waste your time on the others.

The error here is that it is assumed that submitting to more directories actually wastes time. It is also assumed that it would take too long to rewrite the article for submission to more directories.

CSN’s Position

If you submit to every directory under the sun, there is a danger that this practice can be seen as “unnatural” by Google. But submitting to a few dozen or more top directories can be nothing but beneficial… provided you submit a unique version of your article to each and that rewriting your article can be done quickly.

That’s why we provide a tool to help you write variations of your articles. And provide a ghostwriting service for articles and rewrites if you don’t have the time to do it yourself.

That’s also why we provide a tool for one-button submit to related sites and external article directories. And we gradually release each article variation a few per night so as to be as natural as possible.

I’m happy to report the release of three new CSN features. Watch the short videos below for an overview of each:

Resource Box Profiles

Making Your Articles Available To Other Publishers

The first and the third are features brought over from Content Spooler. The middle one is just one heck of a time saver…

Tomorrow the new “Article Cash” system will be released where I’ll be providing Content Spooling Network members at-cost usage of my Amazon Mechanical Turk interface for ghostwriting articles.

I had previously released a video called “One Cent Words” (available to CSN members) where I show how to use Mechanical Turk for ghostwriting. This video caused quite a reaction of excitement from those who watched it.

I know a few people have opened up a Mechanical Turk account and started submitting ghostwriting requests…

So why would you want to pay for access to CSN’s interface into Mechanical Turk when you can do it yourself?

There are 3 primary reasons:

1. Not long after I released the One Cent Words video, someone overseas informed me that only persons with US bank accounts can access Mechanical Turk to create requests (requests are called “HITs” for “Human Intelligence Task”). So unless you’re an American, this service is completely unavailable to you directly.

2. As mentioned in an earlier post, we create 100 or more individual HITs for each full service ghostwritten article (original article plus 3 rewrites). In order to produce reliable results, after every individual HIT is first reviewed by our automated system, we create 2 more HITs for a humans to review the content. If they disagree, a 3rd HIT is created as the tie-breaker. We do this for every article and every paragraph of every rewrite.

Needless to say, the time it would take to create each of these HITs manually would be overwhelming. Indeed, Amazon’s system was primarily designed so that computers could interact with it, not people.

3. Are you forgetting the primary benefit of CSN? Ghostwritten articles are automatically added to your CSN member account for push-button publishing to an impressive number of related network sites and the top external article directories.

So not only does your CSN membership give you access to at-cost ghostwritten articles, but you get access to a streamlined publishing system that has been achieving impressive results.

If you’re already a member, expect this new functionality to go live Friday at noon Eastern.

Update: I’ve been informed that Mechanical Turk doesn’t require you be a US Citizen, only that you have a US bank account. While it may be next to impossible for an average non-citizen to get a US bank account, international businesses are apparently able to do this.

It all started a year ago when I figured out on paper how I was going to make a fortune with AdSense by writing articles.

About a week into writing on subjects such as teeth whitening, classic car insurance, and colon cleansing, I knew one thing… I hated writing articles.

I’ve spent this past year doing everything I can to avoid writing articles on subjects I care nothing about.

So when I started the Content Spooling Network last February (which itself was a manifestation of my desire to do anything but actually write an article), I knew that to keep it useful for myself and anyone else like me, there had to be a ghostwriting component built in.

Hiring and managing a staff of ghostwriters was out of the question. So I turned to Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. I figured if I could modularize the process enough, and provide extensive automated and turk-driven reviews of all the content, it could work.

Of course it was a no-brainer when it came to using Mechanical Turk for other CSN operations such as reviewing websites for acceptance, but writing a quality article was a bit risky.

Well, I’m happy to report that Amazon’s Mechanical Turk has been performing for us reliably for the past 6 months. It was a bit shaky at first as we constantly tweaked our process to achieve the best results.

Now I can outsource my article writing when I’m not feeling up to the task. And if I feel up to the task of writing, but not rewriting (Articles must be paraphrased into multiple versions to be submitted through CSN so we can publish a unique version of your article to each distribution point.), I will be able to outsource that as well.

As stated in the previous post, on Friday August 24, 2007 I’ll be releasing a new benefit to Content Spooling Network members… Article Cash.

Article Cash can be used within CSN to utilize our interface into Amazon’s Mechanical Turk for ghostwriting original articles and rewriting articles. These articles can then be submitted through CSN to member sites and external article directories.

Tomorrow I’ll answer the question, “Why not just use mechanical turk myself instead of going through your service?”

The other day I canceled all existing article credit subscriptions…

As you may know, CSN uses Amazon’s Mechanical Turk for our ghostwriting. (Watch the One Cent Words video in the member area if you haven’t yet.)

In fact, we’ve modularized the process to such an extent, that often over 100 or more individual workers have their hand in writing & reviewing a single article request using our ghostwriting services.

After conducting a thorough audit of all the costs involved, I realized I can provide this service much cheaper as an added benefit of CSN membership.

How much cheaper?

Try $17 for an original article + 3 rewrites to avoid submitting duplicate content + 4 article titles + 4 article summaries that can be used as resource boxes if you wish.

I’ve charged as much as $45 for a single article request in the past (the past, as in 2 hour ago before I changed the price!)

I’m now referring to article credits “Full Service Article Credits” so that the full process can be distinguished from a very new feature…

ARTICLE CASH

Now this really is the most incredible enhancement.

So incredible, I decided to delay the launch until Friday just so this simple email doesn’t disguise the greatness of the power you now have with CSN.

Want just an article without the ghostwritten rewrites?

$5.20 AND IT’S DONE.

Have an existing PLR article that you want rewritten for submission throuch CSN?

A FEW DOLLARS AND IT’S DONE.

With the addition of these features & pricing, CSN is far-and-away the most valuable article marketing resource available on the Internet today.

CSN began almost 6 months ago and we’ve just passed 400 active websites within CSN with 225 active members. I’m still working my full-time day job as a programmer, and CSN is what I do when I get home.
