Back in October 2008, I wrote How to Keep Your Articles in Constant Circulation.  In that piece, I discussed the idea that many of your articles may experience a great volume of views when they are first published but then quickly become obsolete or forgotten while others may stay in constant circulation receiving regular views every month. This trend might lead you to wonder, was it just a fluke that some of your work was viewed in the beginning or simply a passing fad?

I believe there are many logical factors regarding this phenomenon. For example, some titles are more popular than others, choice of keywords, total collective subject matter that was published the day your work was, etc; many factors that are predictable, but others that can often be due to the luck of the draw. However, I wholeheartedly believe you have the ability to make this obstacle a non-existent problem going forward.

As Previously Recommended: Link, Link, Link!

In this article, I wanted to go into more detail regarding the best ways to keep all your articles in constant, growing, popular circulation. In the part 1 of this article, I suggested adding links to your articles at the bottom or within the context of your new publications. And from experience, I have found this to be highly effective. Not only does it make it easier for your reader to find your work, it is another great way to market and advertise your invaluable work.

Link Strategically

Do you notice that some of your articles are more popular than others? Do you have some articles that are consistently viewed each month? This creates a perfect opportunity to spread these views to your other work. Triond makes it convenient for writers to see which of their personal articles are receiving the most views.

Furthermore, in any successful endeavor, focusing your attention on your top generating avenues will always prove most profitable and effective. By spending time adding links to your most popular articles, you will find that overall your total views will grow exponentially. And, as these past articles are viewed more, adding links to these previous articles as well keeps the ball rolling at top speed.

A Reminder

As I stated in part 1, the more links to your articles, the higher they become ranked within Google’s search engine, drawing even more views and income.

If it Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It

In other words, if you have an article that has an excellent title and is enjoying consistently increasing views, capitalize! How can you do this? Read through the comments. Often, readers will have left you questions that can give you ideas for a part 2 article. This is exactly why B12 Shots: The Newest Energy Booster 2 was written. It was created in direct response and overwhelming need. It now has something besides the title in common with the first article; it also enjoys consistent monthly viewing.

Sometimes You Need to Revisit the Past in order to Move Forward

It’s important to keep in mind that people will only keep viewing your articles if you are submitting quality, valuable work. So, in order to solidly ensure the “linking cycle” is effective, it’s vitally important to go back through your previously published work, edit and improve them all as much as you possibly can.

I have been writing for Triond for about two years now and when I look back at some of my earlier articles, I can definitely see areas that clearly need improvement.

The Most Effective Ways to Improve Your Articles

Learn from the Best

Take time to think about unforgettable work that has left a strong impression on you. Make note of the reasons why you think they were so memorable. Then, take the time to integrate these ideas in your “needs improvement” publications. In other words, learn from the best; imitation in many ways is the greatest form of flattery. (Please note: that structure, formatting, and quality imitation is very different than plagiarism which we all know is never permissible.)

Add Value

“A picture is (truly) worth a thousand words.” Where appropriate add pictures to pieces that don’t have any. Take time to check out the most popular keywords on Triond’s homepage; add them where appropriate to all your articles. Run spell checks and double check grammatical errors.

Though you might not think so, these little details make a huge difference in how your work and talents are perceived. One misspelled or misused word in the middle of an extraordinarily romantic poem can distract your readers so greatly that they opt not to read anymore of your work. By using care and proving you are a serious writer, you are showing your audience that your work is worth their time, is filled with invaluable information, beauty, etc. Thus you are opening the door to demonstrate that your other work is equally worth checking out.

Remember: Success Requires Perseverance and Dedication

Though this process is ongoing and takes a significant amount of time, effort, attention to detail, and perseverance, the payoff is measurably worth it. Be patient, work steadily and you will begin to see the difference in the views for all your work as they consistently continue to climb for both your most popular articles and previously forgotten work.

Linking, editing, and continual attention to all your work will ensure that your writing will always be viewed and enjoyed for countless years to come.

Believe, work hard and make all your dreams come true!
