Calling all editors, publishers, writers and freelance journalists. Now is the time to breathe more life into your articles. Turn your articles into living pieces that spark measurable debate and that allows you to engage with your readers mind and soul – we’re talking revolution.

As it was in the beginning

Publishers have for many years relied on letters to get feedback from their readers and although email has opened up this method of communication it is still time consuming and difficult to monitor and process, and for the more popular articles, it is either a case of only a fraction of the received correspondence ever being used, or where online comments have been allowed, well written and good comments can be buried under poorly written and abusive comments.

As well as being an overhead for the publisher, it can also be an unrewarding medium in terms of the amount of effort required and response that is received, just consider the number of letters that go unread and unpublished.

As it is now

The Internet has brought new channels of communication and created opportunities that allow us to challenge traditional methods. The Internet is now a mature technology, no longer the preserve of the new fad brigade but a technology that has been embraced by a global population, young and old alike and it allows us now to re-evaluate the way things are done. Newspapers, trade journals, magazines and ezines now have the opportunity to change the mental process.

When people read an article they often would like to comment, and historically this has required them to feel strongly enough to put pen to paper; or with the creation of the Internet send an email or write a comment. Emails make communication easier but it still takes time to craft an email and time for the majority, is what they haven’t got.

The letters page, or a list of comments, although interesting, are often only a snapshot of views, or an endless unmanaged list of comments; a well crafted and well written letter on any given subject may hold the view of the majority, or the minority, but due to its free text form it is difficult, or near impossible, to measure.

As it should be

Now consider the advantages of linking articles to online surveys where as a publisher you will have the ability to obtain valuable readership feedback in a form that can be easily measured. Just as important as you communicating with your readers is giving your readers a way to communicate with you where they know it will count.

Want an instant snapshot of opinion? How much did they like the article? Did your readers agree with what was said or do they take the opposite view?

Now it’s easy

In the past surveys would have taken considerable effort to design and publish and altogether was a process too long winded and therefore reserved for the niche and bigger topics.

However, using sites like www.surveygalaxy.com surveys and questionnaires can be created and published via the Internet by anyone who has a pulse. Professional looking questionnaires and surveys created in minutes make the perfect compliment to articles that prompt opinion and debate.

The advantages over letters, e-mails and comments are that with online surveys all the feedback gathered is properly managed and easily measured with sites like Survey Galaxy providing you with real time polls and charts that you can either keep to yourself or share with your readers.

It can be complimentary

By linking each article to an online survey it will not only extend the life of the article, as people have a channel to express their views, but it will involve your readers in the discussion and in a way where they know their opinion will be counted.

You think they would rather send an email? – not a problem – just include the facility within the survey and get the best of both worlds.

It’s low cost, fast and easy to do; it will not only empower and engage the reader but will establish a valuable communication channel that will provide you with measurable feedback and give you the opportunity to promote other related articles.

Although of interest a letters page is at best a snapshot of views or if comments have been allowed an unmanaged and often never ending list of comments; they may be well crafted and well written but due to the free text form, collectively they are views that are notoriously difficult to measure.

I started using myarticlenetwork.com 2 days ago when it launched, and so far I am impressed with the results and the features.

I have so far submitted 7 articles in 5 days, and they have been placed on a total of 33 sites total between them already. If I can keep posting 3 or 4 articles a day, I will have hundreds out there in a month.

The system has a built in article spinning system in place. You just paste in your article and title, keywords, and maybe a youtube video, and once you save it as draft, you can start using the automated spinner.

The auto spinner gives you a sentence from your post, and it gives you 10 more places to input alternate sentences. Using the auto spinner and giving each sentence an alternate sentence, each time your article is spun, it is over 100% unique or spun. Some of my articles are over 150% spun.

The real power is when you edit the spinning manually, alternating between words inside your sentences. You also get another level of spinning that lets you substitute words for one another inside each of the sentences being spun, giving you even more uniqueness for each blog post, all with your 3 links.

The articles you submit will be treated like a blog post instead of an article. There’s no authors box, and your able to place up to 3 links in each article, and if you change keywords in your spun text, you can do some deep linking with this system.

The other part of the system is getting content for your blog, you can add as many of your own blogs to receive content, you have control over whether they get published or not, just leave the links intact. But the neat thing is when you approve an article, youget a chance to leave feedback to the author anonymously. I think this is a great feature, unlike the other article network, I was able to let 1 author know that his titles weren’t coming out so great (bad spinning, his fault), and I asked another author for a specific keyworded article for one of my sites.

Whether or not they get my messages remains to be seen, but this system is really looking good for article marketing, you can use it for backlinks, or just put in your affiliate links, its up to you. I have combined a mix of both, since I can have 3 links per post.

I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to gain more exposure and traffic through blog posting and article marketing.

Join MyArticleNetwork Here , you can even submit articles for month and if you don’t like it, you can cancel for a full refund, and the posts or articles that are already out there will still be there.
