This is an older post from senior member, Bill Urell. Brilliant advice!
Not so fast my dear Watson.
In order to determine the cause of the result, we must examine the actions that preceded it. Once the impossible is ruled out whatever remains, however improbable is the answer. Let us proceed. What happened in the last week?
7 blog posts were made, five written and 2 videos utilizing video utility poster (daily posting). The five written blog posts were actually written right on the submission form at Ezinearticles.com, they were immediately submitted for publication, copy and pasted to Windows Live Writer, formatted and uploaded to the blog as posts.( The old 'outdated' article submission trick)
As long as I had my blog posts in article form I figured I may as well mass submit a couple, picking up a couple thousand placements. Checking an arbitrary post thus submitted, "Alcoholic Blackout - Types of Alcohol Blackouts, How They Work, and the Consequences" in quotes at Google, I discovered 816 links, could that be it? No.(But I laugh my way to Link-Love Land, despite the doubters of writing articles).
Yes, I did say Link-Love Land.
I submitted 2 posts each to 20 Blog Carnival sites. Was that it? Checking my Google analytics, the answer is no, but I did meet 2 new bloggers in my niche and exchanged emails.(Best links going)
Each day I hopped onto Track Boost brought up 100 of my latest posts and started adding tracks backs to the oldest, 5 track backs each day, a post a day, adding 35 trackbacks (til I get caught up). Was that it? Checking my statcounter. com account, I discovered that was not it. (using the free ASC tool provided in a shfty way).
I also updated 5 of my Squidoo lenses with a bit of fresh content, increasing my rank, but that did not account for my visitor increase.
Using my google alerts I posted to a new blog each day: that didn't do it.( So simple)
Let's see... using some software, I have been bookmarking a new post and an 2 old posts/ day (until I get caught up) to 20 book mark sites, propeller and stumble. Sometimes using 2 accounts, but sometimes not.
I was due for my monthly rss feed submission, did that (including ahead Squidoo lens feeds). Nope.
If you 've read this far you deserve the answer: The answer was found in the fourth piece of website tracking programs I use, My BlogLog it was a basic Stumble. A fluke. BUT I was not a regular Stumbler. In the last 2 weeks I had started doing it religiously as part of my effort to upgrade my posting routine.
I guess point of this post is simply to point out that luck can play a factor but without having done the foot work the lightning never would have struck. I will never forget to Stumble again. This was a fluke, but since I have upgraded my posting routine my visits have in creased 20% across the board (not factoring in this week).
So the net results of the week:
I doubled my visitors for the week ( Many first time visitors)
I doubled my best single day ever
I enrolled 42 readers to my list
Sold one membership to my club for $162.
Hope this post helped with some ideas about repurposing your posts
