Article Promotion - Comparing Your Revenue With The Articles You Compose
Many people use article marketing to publicize their websites. Using articles in this way can demonstrate your credentials to share information to the broader internet community.
If you are involved in this promotion method have you ever stopped to consider to what extent this activity of article marketing is bringing in revenue for your online efforts. If not, you are highly recommended to spend some time correlating revenue to article marketing.
While article marketing includes many factors such that an exact computation of benefits in monetary terms is difficult, we cannot run away from the fact that when it comes to profitability of any online business, we must think in terms of pounds and pennies.
Here statistics play a large part in correlating revenue to articles and I am about to explain a way that you can check your article marketing statistics.
Simple maths can help to compare revenue to the number of articles we write, even though there are factors peculiar only to a certain author that are not common to any other person.
Over a period of time of, for example, 6 months, a writer of several articles can graph income derived from article writing with the "y" axis as Revenue and the "x" axis of the graph as the quantity of articles written, each time keeping the number of article sites to which the article was submitted at the same figure.
For example if you are marketing these articles to sites such as ezinearticles.com or goarticles.com, your revenue that goes to the "y" axis is the payout derived for the month from using only article marketing, and the "x" axis will be the number of articles submitted.
Over a period of 6 months, you will have enough details on the graph to make a straight line that goes through most of the points on the graph where the line is represented by the equation y=mx+c
The function of the regressed straight line will demonstrate that the income derived is a function of "m" which is the slope of the line, and a constant "c".
The constant "c" is the value at which the straight line cuts the "y" axis and this is the particular part which stems from the author and is an indication of his abilities in authorship, his craft of writing, his command of the language and factors that only the individual possesses.
By studying earnings obtained against number of articles submitted, keeping other factors unchanged, it will be possible to measure the quality of the author's writing and form a rough basis to forecast further revenue to the number of articles scheduled for submission, ignoring other factors such as keyword choice, onsite and offsite search engine optimisation which are not included in the study, and only on the basis of the individual's writing "flair" and abilities as measured by the constant "c".
This is by no means exact; but recording statistics and charts like these is useful in helping the marketer become aware of sudden trend changes, especially where performance falls.
He can then consider what has caused this deviation and highlight details that may be otherwise missed.
Many use software to record earnings, but most scripts do not incorporate graphical analysis. When the charting is done by hand the internet marketer notices sudden fluctuations or is able to consider what to alter to attract more revenue.
He can go deeper to ask this question: " Since the revenue is directly proportional to the slope of the revenue line, what factors will change the slope?".
Knowing these factors, he can vary them and test the changes.
By correlating revenue with articles written, the internet marketer can forecast profitability, no matter how rough the estimate. He has on his hands a set of statistics to use for further analysis, or in marketing terms "testing".
