Article Marketing Correlating Revenue To The Articles You Write By Abdul Rahim Khurram

In the event that you are involved in writing or using articles in order to establish your credentials in order to share skills and knowledge with a broader internet community, it may be time to take a step back and consider whether or not this activity of article marketing is bringing in revenue to your online efforts.

We can't get away from the reality that when it comes to the profitability of any online business, we must think in terms of dollars and cents, despite the fact that article marketing is a function of many elements that may not allow for an accurate computation of advantages in monetary terms.

This is where statistics play a significant role in determining the relationship between income and the content we publish.

Is it feasible, for example, to estimate income in relation to the number of articles we write, given that there are elements that are unique to the author and that are not shared by any other author? Is it possible to project revenue in relation to the number of articles we write?

This is where the application of elementary mathematics can be beneficial in our effort to establish a link between income and the articles we create.

After writing several articles over a period of six months, an author can actually maintain a graph of revenue generated from article writing, with the "y" axis representing revenue and the "x" axis depicting the number of articles written, while maintaining a constant figure for the number of article depositories to which the article was submitted.

When marketing articles to article depositories such as ezinearticles.com or goarticles.com, your revenue will be represented by the "y" axis, which represents the payout from Google Adsense for the month generated solely through article marketing, and the "x" axis will represent the number of articles that have been submitted to these article depositories.

Over the course of six months, you will have accumulated sufficient data on the graph for which you may draw a best-fit curve or, using the concepts of linear regression, build a straight line that passes through the majority of the points on the graph and is represented by the equation y=mx+c.

According to the straight line regression function, the revenue obtained is a function of "m," which represents the gradient or slope of the line, and a constant, denoted by "c."

The constant "c" represents the point at which the straight line intersects the "y" axis, and it represents the specific part of the graph that originates from the individual and is a representation of his writing abilities, his writing style, his command of the language, and other factors that only the individual possesses.

It will be feasible to determine the quality of an author's work by conducting a correlation research between the money earned and the number of articles submitted in article marketing, while maintaining all other variables as constant as possible. Also possible is to develop a rough basis for estimating future revenue based on the number of articles planned for submission, while ignoring other factors such as keyword selection, onsite and offsite search engine optimization, which are not included in the study, and only on the basis of the individual writing "flair" and abilities as measured by the constant "c."

While this is by no means a precise science and is only an estimate, collecting data and charts like these serves an important purpose in assisting the marketer in identifying rapid trend shifts, particularly when performance or income suddenly falls below the expected level ( or the mean ).

He can next investigate what has caused this divergence from the mean and why it has occurred. By charting these facts, any changes that occur will be immediately visible and will not be overlooked otherwise.

Even while it is customary for an online marketer to employ software scripts to track his or her revenues from Google Adsense and other sources, most scripts do not lend themselves to this specific graphical analysis, as discussed below. When charting is done manually, even if in a simple manner, the internet marketer is more sensitive and attentive to any unexpected changes in the market, and is able to assess what component in his article writing should be changed to generate more cash.

He can go even farther and raise the following question: "Since revenue is directly proportional to the slope of the revenue line, what circumstances will cause the slope to change?"

Knowing these variables, he may experiment with them and see how they affect his results.

By establishing a relationship between income and the amount of articles created, the internet marketer may forecast profitability, no matter how shaky the market conditions are. A collection of statistics is in his possession, which he might utilize for additional investigation and analysis, or in marketing jargon for "testing."
