How to Keep Your Articles in Constant Circulation 2
Guidance to those who are continually searching for proven, effective ways to keep their work fresh, relevant, and consistently viewed for life. Through smart, strategic steps, you make all your work limitlessly successful.
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!

I am bookmarking this page and will look at those other articles too. This is so helpful. Thank you, Liane and God bless.

Thanks for this useful article. You’re so kind to share your success here, thanks!Take care!

An excellent and very helpful article. I too have bookmarked it and will make great use of it.
Thank you
Christine
January 15th, 2009 at 8:40 am
Some very useful advice. Revisiting old articles is an area that I have neglected. I will certainly be doing it now. Thanks for the help!
January 15th, 2009 at 8:41 am
Sharing what you have learned over the years that you have been writing on Triond is a nice gesture. It is great advice. Thanks for sharing.
January 15th, 2009 at 8:42 am
thanks…very useful information.
January 15th, 2009 at 8:58 am
Thanks for sharing this very useful information. Great article
January 15th, 2009 at 10:25 am
Great advice! Thanks for sharing.
January 15th, 2009 at 11:22 am
I like it!
January 15th, 2009 at 11:28 am
Excellent advice! Thanks!
January 15th, 2009 at 11:39 am
I thought the article was very helpful and I am glad it was shared.
January 15th, 2009 at 11:47 am
You are always willing to give. These are a group of wonderful suggestions for me. Thank you!
January 15th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
I agree with goodselfme.. you are one who always want to help others.. thanks for the suggestions mentioned above
January 15th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
I agree as well with the giving, and this is a great article,
with lots of great tips, thanks for sharing!
January 15th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Great article to start the year, and serve as a reminder to everyone, thanks Liane.
I’ve actually starting revisiting my old articles even before the Christmas holidays. It’s going on well, and still a top prio for this year.
Triond is terrific in generating statistics to help us with PVs and Revs. I like it, something not done in others.
And it’s not only previous articles at stake and to revisit. For some of us who have multi-blogs, few dot coms we freelance to, this is also a good time to assess and consolidate which ones are worth it, and to look around for other better opportunities.
January 15th, 2009 at 1:11 pm
Ooops sorry, slip of the typing fingers (ah, when one rushes for a late breakfast!) I meant to write, “I’ve actually started revisiting…”
January 15th, 2009 at 1:12 pm
This is really great advice. Thanks for the suggestions.
January 15th, 2009 at 1:16 pm
Thank you very much for the educational information. I hope it will help bring more readers to my articles.
January 15th, 2009 at 1:23 pm
Thanks for sharing, now if I can only not hit enter too soon…
January 15th, 2009 at 1:47 pm
Very informative artical, as usual. Thanks Liane.
January 15th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Your articles are always full of great advice. I’d highly recommend that Triond newbies peruse your articles to take a look at how to be successful here. Great job!
January 15th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
I knew this, but hadn’t been doing it. Thanks for what is new information for some, and a reminder for others.
January 15th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
This is a wonderful article, Liane. I’m going to use it as a guide. I’m also going to read some of your older articles since you seem to be a wealth of iformation. Thanks.
January 15th, 2009 at 2:35 pm
Excellent, Liane–the norm for you
Thank you, we would all do well to rememeber your advice.
January 15th, 2009 at 2:40 pm
…Hi there, thank you for the great information.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
As always great job!
January 15th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
Great information Thank You Liane.
January 15th, 2009 at 3:33 pm
Very good article and valuable advices, thanks!
January 15th, 2009 at 4:22 pm
All wonderful tips Liane. You have to revisit the past on Triond everyday.
January 15th, 2009 at 4:31 pm
I didn’t know Triond allowed members to advertise links to their own articles within another completely unrelated article. Good information to know. From now on, I’ll add an “Other Links” section to the bottom of all my past and future articles.
Thanks Liane!
January 15th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
Liane, this is very helpful information. And we can certainly use all the help we can get.
January 15th, 2009 at 4:36 pm
Liane, these are great tips! Thanks for sharing.
January 15th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
I wish I knew more about this stuff.
January 15th, 2009 at 4:55 pm
Very good points! Well written as usual Liane
January 15th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
Liane
Ths is an excellent article. But I am like BoJack 454..I wishI new more about marketing on the computer. Classes and just sitting down and spending hours learning by tiral and error…but Not when you are on a 24/7schedule as a caregiver. However, this insn’t a dismal complaint…some day I will do all these things…but for now thanks for the good ideas, which I will try to use (one at a time) as my time permits.
January 15th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Of course, Catelin and BoJack, it is all about trial and error and online writing is about more than posting something up and expectingpeople to read it simply because it is good!
Liane gives excellent tips that, if taken in to account, can truly revolutionise the amount of hits that you will get. As she so well points ou, getting hits starts after publish! Restricting oneself to a fingers-crossed situation will never work – whatever the qualiy of your writing!
All praise to Liane for pointing this out and giving pointers too! Most – including myself – had to learn as we went along and here it is on a plate!
Note to new online writers! Please read this and take time to acion it! It will take as much time to do this as a thousand “I will read your articles if you read mine!” spam messages!
January 15th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
Sorry about the typos – sticky fingers and slow brain!
January 15th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
way to go, liane!
January 15th, 2009 at 6:31 pm
Very useful and informative.
January 15th, 2009 at 6:50 pm
Thanks for such an interesting read. I’ve only had a couple articles that seem to still be popular but the others seem to fad as time passes… I’m going to take the things you have mentioned into consideration and go back and fix things up and whatnot. Hopefully it helps because things slowed down greatly…
January 15th, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Good ideas , thank you.
January 15th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Great tips for success.
January 15th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
ya.. I have to add more links to my stuff.. its something I really dont ever do – thanks
January 15th, 2009 at 11:32 pm
I always love to read your articles and poems Liane. As always, this article is full of inspiration. Can wait to see what you’re going to publish next.

I know you are all very keen to optimize your Web sites. Why not try some brand new site that has proven very handy for my account – I now work full-time in them.
http://www.constant-content.com – pays $40 per 1000 words. Buyers email you for articles and the standards are incredible.
Also,
o.desk.com provides a great forum for aspiring authors.
You can strive in Triond and soar in the others .
Liane, I know you have it in you to excel beyond this arena although I recognise Triond as a true writer’s Web site that hones your literary smarts.
Check them out – their standards are exceptionally high – like yours . j
January 16th, 2009 at 4:04 am
Ah linking back to old articles, so simple why didn’t I think of that?
January 16th, 2009 at 6:49 am
Very well composed and a goldmine of information. You obviously have studied the art of publishing and thank you for it. I will certainly expand my avenues in my writing pursuits because of your articles on the subject and thank you Liane.

January 16th, 2009 at 9:43 pm
As always when things seem to slow their pace and creativity crumbles by seeing the lack of views and comments that adore our profiles , a simple article like this lifts the writer’s spirits and creativity flows again. Thank you for being a very interesting writer with sensical views on your articles. I always look forward to reading more of your work liane. Thank you for the words…
January 16th, 2009 at 10:31 pm
As usual you have given us a very useful article. Thanks for the tips and tricks, I will be sure to remember them.
Take care,
Darlene
January 16th, 2009 at 11:36 pm
Liane,thanks for the tips of the trade. They are very much appreciated, and I amgoing to try my best to use some of them. The only thing I\’m not sure about is how to insert links, but maybe I can figure that out on my own. Thanks again! Oh Yes, some people might like to know how to make it possible to lnk back to their page from their comments. I didn\’t know how to do that until I got help with it. Maybe you could tell people how to do that too. I think I remember I was told that there is two ways to do it isn\’t there? I only use one way, but I\’m still fairly sure. What you said about spelling is sure right too. I remember one time I was reading someone\’ poetry, and they said, \”Don\’t even bother mentioning the spelling. It is good enough for me, and I have no plans of changing it.\” It was terrible spelling too, and I never went back to read any more of her poetry after that one poem.Johnny Yuma

I ditto RJ Evans, this was an article I could have done with when I first started here.
I have made some buttons on my blog, they link to each block section of my work on Triond,I have noticed that some of my old works got hit recently, so they are working.
If anyone interested, will give you my blog address if you ask for it, then you can see them.
Brilliant guidelines, wonderful advice, thanks.
January 17th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
You are right! Great tips! Linking is crucial and we should use the frequently in order to have constant views!
January 17th, 2009 at 1:10 pm
Very true. I have just started discovering links. I can actually succeed here. Now, if I could learn how to make pictures work. You’re the best.
Thanks Liane,

January 17th, 2009 at 3:14 pm
What a good idea: use popular articles to drive traffic to other articles. This makes good sense. those articles that get the most views can propel readers to yet other articles.

Great tips as always. Thanks Liane for an excellent written article.
Take care & God bless.
