Article Marketing - Tracking Article Propagation by Tracking Clicks to Your Webpage

Tracking by Clicks

This is another effective method of tracking the propagation of your article, although it is geared more towards tracking the effectiveness of your article or article submission process when you are submitting for the purpose of generating immediate article directory clicks rather than mass-submitting for backlink purposes.

To do this, you can use adtracking software, or you can design a separate opt in page or web page for each different article directory you use.

If you are using adtracking software, simply include the adtracking link to your bio instead of your regular website link, and you will be able to track the number of clicks from each article directory. This allows you to determine exactly which article directories are most effective for your style and topic genre.

Instead of using adtracker software, you can assign a different webpage for each article source, and place the link to that particular webpage in each article that is submitted to a particular article directory. As long as you can view the individual pages results in your website traffic tracking software, this is quite effective.

If your traffic tracker does not offer the ability to view visitors by page, you can use your autoresponder opt in code to do the work for you. Some autoresponders like aweber, (which I use) can show you the number of times a particular opt in form is shown, and they also show you what percentage of unique web hits that you have received becomes a subscriber. This is an additional method of determining which article directories are most effective at generating clicks, and also allows you to compare the responsiveness of different visitors based on their article directory source.
