Mainly this week I have been using Directory Submitter to submit Article Land to high ranking directories. Did about 50 directories this week, not that many, but traffic appears to have been rising slowly. Didn't submit any artilces this week and traffic has still risen so it must be the directory submissions that are causing it.
Spent most of the week starting up a new site called Information Booth. Similar to Article Land in as much as it's based around an article content management system.
Update on the stats:
Google PR = 3 (No change)
Alexa Rank = 693,259 (Up 5,087 points or 0.73% on 3 month average)
Link Popularity:
Google = 34 (No Change)
Yahoo = 1253 (+26.56%)
All The Web = 661 (+50.38%)
Altavista = 1450 (+38.10%)
Article Land Stats
Number of Articles =13217 (+8.93%)
Number of Authors = 2145 (+7.6%)
Average Number of Visits per day = 690 (+15.19%)
Average Adsense Revenue = $11.61 per day (+27.02%)
Web Site Value = $6,424 (+91.42%)
OK the Google rank isn't going to change until the next quarterly Google update. Even then it may stay the same. The Alexa rank is still creeping up on the 3 month average. I am expecting it to jump quite considerably as we get towards Christmas as the 3 month average contains a lot of data before I started the promotion process.
Backlinks have shot up quite considerably, especially in Yahoo, All The Web & Altavista. I have managed to generate 1060 extra backlinks this week alone!!!
The Article Land stats are increasing steadily. This is good steady progress, which will provide good long term stability.
Adsense revenue has increased by an average of $2.47 a day. Steady income from one site averaging around the $11 per day mark over the week. On 5 of the days it was over $10 and on 3 occasions was over $13.
For the website value, I used the tool at http://www.glurk.com/. Although the accuracy of this evaluation may be suspect, at least it gives a baseline to measure against in future. The increase in one week is astonishing, the value of the site has almost doubled. This is mainly due to the traffic and backlink increases.
OK this week I'm going to continue with Directory Submitter and Article Post Robot to get even more backlinks into Article Land, and hopefully increase the adsense revenue as more traffic is generated.
Enjoy your week and make lots of money.

Week 5 Update
Ok this week , I have been submitting articles as per usual using Article Post Robot. Not as many as I would have liked, only did 5 this week but nevertheless, traffic is still being generated from them. I love this tool, as I stated last time if you haven't got this software you are missing a major trick.
I have also been submitting Article Land to directories using Directory Submitter. It is not like the totally automated tools that get you banned by Google, but it does save a lot of time. Again, worth the investment.
Found a new website value tool at http://www.glurk.com/. Used it to create a baseline for the site. So let's look at the stats to see whether the work I've done this week has paid off.
Update on the stats:
Google PR = 3 (No change)
Alexa Rank = 698,346 (Up 29,175 points or 4.17% on 3 month average)
Link Popularity:
Google = 34 (No Change)
Yahoo = 990 (+70.1%)
All The Web = 264 (+36.08%)
Altavista = 1050 (+62.29%)
Article Land Stats
Number of Articles =12056 (+8.93%)
Number of Authors = 2009 (+7.6%)
Average Number of Visits per day = 599 (+5.83%)
Average Adsense Revenue = $9.14 per day (+11.19%)
Web Site Value = $3,356
OK the Google rank isn't going to change until the next quarterly Google update. Even then it may stay the same. The Alexa rank is still creeping up on the 3 month average. I am expecting it to jump quite considerably as we get towards Christmas as the 3 month average contains a lot of data before I started the promotion process.
Backlinks have shot up quite considerably, especially in Yahoo & Altavista. I have managed to generate 881 extra backlinks this week alone!!!
The Article Land stats are increasing steadily at just below 10% per week. This is good steady progress, which will provide good long term stability.
Adsense revenue has increased, albeit by an average of $0.30 a day. Steady income from one site averaging around the $9 per day mark over the week. On 2 of the days it was over $13.
For the website value, I used the tool at http://www.glurk.com/. Although the accuracy of this evaluation may be suspect, at least it gives a baseline to measure against in future.
OK this week I'm going to continue with Directory Submitter and Article Post Robot to get even more backlinks into Article Land, and hopefully increase the adsense revenue as more traffic is generated.
Enjoy your week and make lots of money.

Week 4 Update
Hello All
Much happier this week with progress. I have been posting one article per day to approx 300+ article sites and the traffic to my site, linking in from the resource box of the articles has almost doubled. The best thing about this process is that I'm using PLR articles I purchased sometime ago and just revising them slightly, so it's taking me about 15 minutes to get the articles ready and submit them via Article Post Robot. As I stated last time if you haven't got this software you are missing a major trick.
Update on the stats:
Google PR = 3 (No change)
Alexa Rank = 727,521 (Up 237,402 points or 25% on 3 month average)
I changed the Alexa stats to look at the 3 month average as opposed to the weekly average as that is a little irratic.
Link Popularity:
Google = 34 (No Change)
Yahoo = 582 (+9.6%)
All The Web = 194 (+46.96%)
Altavista = 647 (+10.79%)
Article Land Stats
Number of Articles =11068 (+8.63%)
Number of Authors = 1867 (+6.32%)
Average Number of Visits per day = 566 (+91%)
Average Adsense Revenue = $8.22 per day (+77.92%)
Web Site Value = Unknown - Tool still seems to be broken, which is a shame as it was quite interesting to see how your site was valued.
As you can see from the stats above all have increased. Especially happy with the number of back links, as these will prove valuable as time progresses. I am currently using a new tool I purchased this week called Directory Submitter. It is nothing new, just semi-automates the directory submission process. Again a real time saver as it shows which directories have been submitted to, and you can open 10 directories at once, and the software fills in the fields for each one for you. All you have to do is find the right category for your site and click post. Again highly recommended.
OK I'm off to use Directory Submitter to get lots of one way links to my site, will tell you about the progress next week.
Enjoy your week and make lots of money.

Week 3 Update
Hello All
Had a strange week this week. Spent 3 days wondering why the traffic to the site had dropped off by 50%, then realised that I had not posted any articles for a week. As soon as I started posting articles the traffic doubled.
Adsense earnings for the first 3 days since last update was $0.74, once I started to post articles linking back to my site it rose to an average of $7.90.
So despite all the extra stuff I've been doing like social bookmarking, blogging, etc... it's the article marketing that has shown immediate profits. Don't get me wrong though, I believe the other avenues of generating traffic will work on a long term basis, but article marketing is great for short term gains.
Incidently, I use Article Post Robot to post articles to over 500 sites at a time. A major time saver, couldn't imagine internet marketing without it.
Update on the stats:
Google PR = 3 (No change)
Alexa Rank = 516,209 (Down 24467 points or 4.98% on 1wk average)
Link Popularity:
Google = 34 (+1033%) Massive increase, this, I believe, is due to sorting the sitemap out on Google webmaster tools
Yahoo = 531 (+3.71%)
All The Web = 132 (+33%)
Altavista = 584 (+3.84%)
Article Land Stats
Number of Articles =10188 (+9.77%)
Number of Authors = 1756 (+7.27%)
Average Number of Visits per day = 296 (-1.08%)
Average Adsense Revenue = $4.62 per day (+5%)
Web Site Value = Unknown - Tool still seems to be broken, will have to search for an alternative.
In general the stats have improved. I am particularly happy with the Google Link Popularity. I knew the figures being produced by the link checker tool were scewed as Google Webmaster Tools were showing higher. However they seem to be pretty close now.
Taking my eye off the ball has probably cost me $20 - $30 dollars in adsense earnings but I'm not going to worry about that too much, it just throws a curve ball into this analysis which is the most annoying thing.
Next week I'll ensure that posting the articles is no.1 on the list followed by the other types of marketing.
I've also been working on another site based on the directions found in Profit Lance which hopefully will be published over the next couple of days. I'll post the link to that blog here once it is live.
That's all for now, enjoy your week and make lots of money.
