Truth of the power of Article Writing on Traffic-building

Those people who have been around the Internet Marketing world for quite some time, will know about the need to write and distribute articles to your sites. People always done this, and it's always been a great way to lists building. But has anyone taken the time to actually sit down and really study on just how much traffic you can receive through article writing and distribution??


On October 31st, Jon L put up a dog training mini-course site. It's just an opt-in page advertising a free 5 day mini course on how to train dogs. After the 5 day course, the visitor is sent a sales pitch for a great ClickBank dog training product.

It's a very straight forward, one-page site. And it converts about 37% of its visitors into email subscribers.

After writing the details of the mini course, he wrote an additional 5 articles about dog training and distributed them to only 3 article sites, namely EzineArticles.com, GoArticles.com and ArticleCity.com.
His purpose in submitting only to these 3 instead of to hundreds was to see if it was really necessary to submit to a very large number of smaller article sites through submission programs, or if only submitting to the 3 will do.

On a side note, all 5 of the articles were good enough to receive Expert status from EzineArticles.com.

Jon has done absolutely nothing else to get traffic to this site. Not even submitting the site to any directories, nor purchased links or ads, and neither posted about the site anywhere online. The only source of traffic was the articles–period.
After 7 days since the first article was published, the traffic was reviewed.

Page Views = 68
Signups =25
Sale = 0
Listed in Google? Yes
Listed in Yahoo? No
Listed in MSN? NO
Backlinks on Google, Yahoo & MSN? All zero


So after one week, with 25 people on the mailing list, and with most of them haven't made it through the course and which means nothing had been purchased yet. These figures also show that none of Jon's traffic is coming from the search engines yet.
In fact, only Google has the site indexed as of today. So all of the traffic is coming from people clicking on his links in the About the Author section of his articles.

Jon will postthe progress report of his site each week for the next few weeks. So that way you can see how much benefit comes from writing and distributing articles that point to your site. Of course you would normally pursue multiple traffic avenues, but this case study is just to demonstrate the power of article writing. Would you agree?
