THE ARCADE

The Benefits of a Unique Approach to Article Distribution

First a little background.  Almost fifty days ago, I made the smart decision to become a member of an article marketing service.  While I don't actually know the guy that designed this remarkable tool for online marketers, it seems to me as if I do, because I have bought so many of his products and joined enough of his membership services to have paid for a good part of his car.  [He should at least offer me a ride in it

Because of my past experiences with this guy, I was confident that the service would accomplish for me what it promised: An innovative way of distributing my articles.  Like any Internet marketer, I could always use more traffic, and is there anyone who isn't on the look-out for a way to add external links pointed toward our virtual real estate?  My primary approach for achieving both of these goals is distributing content to article directories.

In the past, most of my subtly promotional articles have gone to article directories, but this new network offers some important advantages over article directory submissions.  For example, I can now put my links directly into the body of the article rather than assigning them to a resource box.  That's something that most article directories don't allow, but I know that it is more effective for both traffic generation and for search engine optimization.  Second, the articles go directly to websites for publication, sites that are in my niche or a closely related niche.  As with the previous benefit, that helps with regard to both traffic and SEO.  Third, since some of my business involves affiliate marketing, with this service I can put an affiliate link directly in the article, if I want--another thing that the article directories don't allow.  Fourth, the distribution system has a built in article spinner, so that the version of the article that each website publishes can be unique.

Let me tell you what my membership has helped me achieve in the less than seven weeks that I have been a member.  Here are just a few of the highlights of my experience with My Article Network.

You need to realize that the system gradually distributes articles to websites, so every article I've submitted so far is still yet to be published on some of its sites and other articles have just begun.  I have written not quite sixty articles for the system, so far--all very well spun.  Over 1900 web pages now consist of my unique versions of those articles.  I have between one and three links in each article, so my conservative best guess is that my sites singled out for promotion through this system have received somewhere in excess of four thousand links.  Obviously, it will require additional time for some of those links to be noticed by the various search engine.  Some of my links are actually pointed at other of my articles published on article directories and some of the sites in the system to give them a little more "link juice."

About half the articles are directed toward my newest site, which I just started building three months ago.  Alexa couldn't even find that site when I first joined this system, and now it has climbed in the Alexa rankings more than two million positions.  In fact, it gets more traffic than some of my sites that have been around for quite a while.  Indeed on the oldest site that I ever built (that I still own), has received no attention from me in months, but I entered nine articles into this system and that site's Alexa ranking has improved by more than 120,000 positions.  I can't attribute that traffic growth to anything other than those nine articles--and the system that distributed them.

I'm quite pleased with the results so far, but I have been lax in my tracking.  I didn't even think of tracking the results of this program until six days ago--yeah, I know, I'm a slouch).  In that one week (little less) the eight sites that I have directly promoted through the service have increased a cumulative total of over 5 million positions in Alexa.  I realize that Alexa is not the finest measure of progress, but I still think that's a very strong indication of getting my money's worth and then some.

I became so enthused, I actually started four new blogs just to take advantage of all the free content that is available in this system.  By the way, adding websites is free; maybe that explains why there are over 10,000 sites in the system ready to publish articles!

I urge you to check out My Article Network.  Oh, and for you affiliate marketers, yes you can become an affiliate after you join as a subscriber.

The Invisible Man - The Original Classic Edition $16.81 On the surface, THE INVISIBLE MAN concerns a scientist named Griffin who has discovered the means to invisibility--but who has gone mad in the process. When frustrated in his efforts to restore himself to visibility, he determines to embark upon a reign of terror that will make him master of the world. It is worth noting, however, that Wells was very much a social writer and that his novels are inevitably commentaries on various social evils. Once you scratch the surface of THE INVISIBLE MAN you will find that it is very much a parable of class structure that dominated British life during the Victorian age: there are many 'invisible men;' this particular one, however, is in a very literal situation. And it is the literal situation from which the novel draws most of its power. Invisibility sounds attractive--but what if you were to actually become so? How would you cope with the ordinary details of every day life? Griffin does not cope well at all, and although Wells suggests that his madness have arisen from a number of sources, he also implies that it may arise from the fact of invisibility itself, again twisting the context back into the social criticism on which the novel seems based. First published in 1897, THE INVISIBLE MAN is one of Wells earliest novels, and for all its charms it creaks a bit in terms of plot and structure. Some may disagree, but to my mind the most effective portion of the novel are the chapters in which Griffin relates his adventures to fellow scientist Kemp--but regardless of its flaws remains extremely influential and it has tremendous dash and style throughout. Short enough to be read in a single sitting, it is a quick and entertaining read and it is also quite witty in an underhanded, subversive sort of way. Extremely memorable

The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain - The Original Classic Edition $8.89 The haunted Man and The Ghost's Bargain - The Original Classic Edition was written by Charles Dickens in the English Language. Mr Redlaw is a teacher of chemistry who often broods over wrongs done him and grief from his past. He is haunted by a spirit, who is not so much a ghost but as Redlaw's phantom twin and is "an awful likeness of himself...with his features, and his bright eyes, and his grizzled hair, and dressed in the gloomy shadow of his dress..." This specter appears and proposes to Redlaw that he can allow him to "forget the sorrow, wrong, and trouble you have known...to cancel their remembrance..." Redlaw is hesitant at first, but finally agrees. However, before the spirit vanishes it imposes an additional consequence: "The gift that I have given you, you shall give again, go where you will."As a consequence of the ghost's intervention Redlaw is without memories of the painful incidents from his past. He experiences a universal anger that he cannot explain. His bitterness spreads to the Swidgers, the Tetterbys and his student. All become as wrathful as Redlaw himself. The only one who is able to avoid the bitterness is Milly. The story climaxes when Milly presents the moral of the tale: "It is important to remember past sorrows and wrongs so that you can then forgive those responsible and, in doing so, unburden your soul and mature as a human being." The story is about the spirit of the holidays than about the holidays themselves. The tale centres on Professor Redlaw and those close to him. So if you enjoy a thoughtful Christmas story this is for you
