The purpose of this article is to encourage you to include links in newer articles to previous articles that you have written on related topics. By doing this, you will get newer readers to check back to the older articles. You can increase your clicks to the older articles while building a viewership base for a give topic.
As a relatively new Triond writer with only about 50 articles so far, I am thinking of the ways to get more clicks to my articles and therefore, more money. In this article, I am going to write about how it is good to write multiple articles on the same topic and link the articles in content and link them in your new article.
I am going to explain my method by referencing one of the articles that I wrote yesterday (http://www.authspot.com/Journals/Making-the-Transition-From-Walking-to-Running-Marathons.610973). This article is a continuation of many articles that I have written on losing weight and walking marathons and half-marathons. In the first paragraph of the article, I was able to make a connection to four other articles that I had written on my journey in losing weight and walking half-marathons, then full marathons as a means to an end to lose weight. Therefore, I placed a link to these four articles in this first paragraph. Therefore, if this article is the first a person is reading, he-she canread the other articles and read my whole story. Conversely, someone that has been reading all of my articles from the first one will have more to read and therefore, more clicks and dollars for me. You can do the same with related articles that you write. Writing multiple articles on the same topic will allow you to build that base of readers. You are writing a story with many chapters that people will tune into.
In the past, I have written a single article on a topic; other times, I have written time sensitive news articles, like the columnists in the big newspapers. While these articles and columns make people like Dick Morris and George Will a lot of money because of consistent readership, I am not there yet. While I enjoyed writing these articles, they got no clicks once the news cycle was over. Of the 50 articles that I have written, these articles have been the lowest viewed.
I am glad to see that Triond has made the connection to a previous article obvious with the article’s name as opposed to a vague link where someone may not understand that it is a link to the previous article. This will help my strategy to get more clicks on those articles that you have written long ago. So now, using this strategy, someone reading my article on marathons may lead me to get five clicks for five articles instead of just one.

so true this is a topic that needs to be told it causes the spiders to crawl our pages more when they are linked the way the search engines view it the more linked content the better the pages are good work god bless

Great article. I have a mini series of stories I am writing and I am also writing a background story about the story. This helps a lot, now I can place links in the back ground story so people reading it can link to the individual stories themselves. Thanks a lot for the article. Its great.

Great article! I still say publishing articles on http://www.triond.com and http://www.bukisa.net is the best way to build a long-term income. Sure it takes a while, but you end up with an automatic recurring income for a long long time.
