Tracking Your Articles Properly
by Martin Lemieux
Writing articles related to your business is a great way to build
your link popularity and also to provide more content for your site
and other sites. Not too mention it's always nice when someone finds
your site and uses it within their newsletter.
The only problem is, what if people dont tell you that they were
using your articles??? How would you know who to reward?
I say reward because of another article I wrote, "reward those who
publish your articles". It briefly outlines how to boost your
articles popularity by boosting the other sites it's listed on.
Let's say for now, you just want to track your articles properly.
#1 Creating appropriate forlders within your "favorites".
Every browser allows you to create a folder in order to hold your
favorite web sites. Organizing your favorites folder is key when you
plan to market your business 24/7. In this case, we'll create a new
folder called "Articles Listed".
Within that folder, you'll want to start creating other "sub"
categories for EACH INDIVIDUAL ARTILCE that you market.
For instance, let's say you have about 10 articles that you always
promote, you'll want to add 10 folders within your new "Articles
Listed folder". Make sure to give them a short but recognizable name
that you would be able to distinguish which article it is for.
Ex. (I will use 3 of my title's)
1 Tracking your articles properly (Folder: Tracking Articles)
2 Writing Articles To Boost Your Traffic (Folder: Writing Articles)
3 Reward Those Who Publish Your Articles (Folder: Reward Publishers)
#2 Always keep the same headline for your article:
I've visited many sites who consistently change the headline of the
article simply to make it seem like a different article. Don't be
shy, I'm sure we've all thought about it, infact, I am also guilty.
Starting now, let's all keep the same headline...
The reason for keeping the same headline is for 1 keeping a strong
consistency with your marketing and 2 making it easyer to find your
articles online.
#3 - Finding All Of Your Articles:
Now let's find them for you... (Hoping that you already created your
folders within your favories menu?)
I preffer using Google's Toolbar for this but it is not required.
Let's all go to: www.google.com and start looking.
Why google? Simply the best...
Take your 1st article and cut and paste the EXACT title within the
google search. Now add "" at the beginning and the end of your title
Adding "" at the beginning and the end will narrow your search to
exactly what's in between.
For ex. "Tracking Your Articles Properly" would give me better
results than if I were to search: tracking your articles properly.
Actually I do recommend you try both methods just in case.
Now once you have found a site that has listed your article, add
the exact page your article is listed within the proper folder you
created within your "favorites menu".
Once you have completed this task for all of your articles, it will
be very easy to keep up with your new articles. Another thing is,
if you plan to reward those sites, you now have them all seperated
into proper categories.
I hope this helps you out even a little like it did for me...
