Article Stats Tracking

January 2nd, 2008

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:

stat-summary

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.

How Many Article Directories Should I Submit To?

September 12th, 2007

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.

Why Not Just Use Mechanical Turk Myself for Ghostwriting?

August 23rd, 2007

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.

Why I Hate Article Marketing And Love Mechanical Turk

August 22nd, 2007

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?”

CSN Article Credit Overhaul! …big changes to CSN

August 21st, 2007

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.

Last minute feature…. Auto Pen Name Creation

May 16th, 2007

The CSN Directory Submitter has been released to a handful of members already and should be released to the full membership by the end of the week.

While I was putting it together I decided to throw in an added feature: Auto Pen Name Creation.

Here’s how it works…

If you submit an article using a pen name that doesn’t yet exist in your directory account, we’ll create it for you before submitting your article.

FYI: In addition to the new submitting to traditional article directories feature, CSN continues to submit to our own network of topically-related websites.

For more info on the new directory submitter, read the post below.

Now’s definitely the time to join!

Automated… But You Still Keep Control

May 1st, 2007

The CSN article directory submission service is loads better than any existing “auto directory submitter” software on the market today.

Here are just a some of the ways:

  1. Once you click to submit, your article is submitted gradually to just a few article directories per day so that your link-building will be natural.
  2. Just like the rest of CSN, A unique version of your article is sent to each directory so your links will have full weight and escape the duplicate content filter.
  3. Your articles can take full advantage of each directory’s unique requirements. Example: if a certain directory allows link in the body, your article will be submitted with live links in the body. If not, we’ll see to it that the links are only in the resource box. We take into account much more… such as field length, # of links, etc.
  4. We have a smart-category category selector… but you always have full control over which category your article ends up in. Before the “one-click-submit”, we list out the directories your article will be submitted to, along the custom directory category we think is the best fit based on your article contents. But you are free to change the category to your liking before you click to trigger the natural submission process.
  5. The submissions happen while you sleep, not while you wait. If there is a problem, we’ll tell you about it, but we feel your time is too valuable to have you site there while the submissions actually take place.
  6. Since this is a web-based service, there is no need for you to download upgrades & enhancements… as we make the service better and add support for new directories, you will benefit instantly and automatically.

The directory submission feature of CSN is in final development and testing. I’m planning to release a new Keyword Research module at the same time.
