Spinned Article Marketing Case Studies

I found some really interesting case studies that Sergey Loren’s posted at his website.

What he did was he created a mini affiliate site and only used social bookmarking and spinned article marketing to build backlinks for it. In 3 months his site was generating 70-80 unique visitors a day and it had generated $2,627 in revenue for him.

Not bad!

Read the case studies below:

parts 1 and parts 2.

Highlights from Part 1…

The only thing you needed to do was write one seed article, which looks something like this:

{Hello|Hi|Greetings} {John|Mark|David}, {how are you|how do you do|how’s life}?

Then you use a special script or piece of software which spins the seed article and generates many unique versions for you. Just from the example above, it is possible to generate 27 different variations of the sentence. Imagine how many unique articles you could generate from a 400 word article?

This is one of the biggest reasons I like using spun articles for linkbuilding and marketing. The sheer math behind it makes a 300-400 word article have thousands of possible combinations. It’s way more effective than submitting the same article to many different places.

I decided to test this method on one of my websites and the results were amazing. After just one month submitting spun articles to various article directories, I was seeing lots of valuable links as well as positive changes in my search engine positions.

Before writing this post, I made a small case study. I created a new mini affiliate website optimized for a keyword that was not very competitive (about 1,000,000 competitors in Google). There were only two link building methods I used with this website: article spinning and social bookmarking. I actually only submitted my website to couple of social bookmarking sites because it is proven to be a very fast method of having your website indexed in the search engines. Almost three weeks have passed and here are the results so far:

On December 6th my website was indexed in Google at number 60 in the search results and I then started submitting my spun articles. As you can see, the very next day my website dropped to number 75 and then disappeared from Google’s index for four days. This is a normal occurrence with brand new sites, so I continued with the article submissions. From December 11th my positions have been constantly improving and there haven’t been any negative fluctuations since then. The website generated more than 400 USD in three weeks through affiliate sales. Some of these sales were from traffic that came from the article directories; however, the majority of sales are from Google organic searches.

Judging by initial results, I can honestly say that this link building method is undoubtedly worth continuing… Moreover, it has two positive aspects: first, you can get sales from the article directories because if you have written a quality seed article, so generated articles will also be of good quality, and second, you can get sales from organic search engine traffic.

Pretty superb if you ask me! His SERPs just go up and up, and generating $400 USD in affiliate sales for a 3 week old site is something I’ve never personally done. I’d really like to know more about what he’s doing to convert the traffic like that!

Highlights from Part 2…

I started this case study just over three months ago in an attempt to prove that article spinning can be a very effective link building method, one that doesn’t only increase your website positions in the search engine results (SERP’s), but can also bring a fair amount of traffic from article directories as well. If you recall, the initial results of the case study was quite successful so now, in the second part of the case study, I will show you the website’s results that I have achieved so far and how much money it has subsequently generated. To begin with, I will show you the website’s traffic graphic from my Google analytics account.

As you can see, the website gets around 50 unique visitors per day and more than 1200 per month. 81%of the visitors came via the search engines and 13% came from referring sites. In my case, these referring sites are the various article directories where my spun articles were posted. At the moment the website is at the fifth position in Google’s results for the main keyword. Positions in Yahoo are lower, it is not even in the top ten for the keyword the website is optimized for.

Not too shabby, almost 100 uniques a day with some pretty decent SERPs for his niche.

The website has generated $2,627 so far which works out at about $850 per month just from one single affiliate website which took me only two hours to set up…

Sheesh, blows my mini sites out of the water! For a site only 3 months old that’s pretty good.

As mentioned in the previous part of this case study, I actually hired a person who manually submitted the spun articles to various article directories, so the total amount of money invested in this website has been $80 ($50 for submitting my articles and $30 for 3 months hosting) and the total amount of time invested is a paltry 4 hours!

I am absolutely delighted with the results I achieved from the website. If you can make $850 per month on autopilot from one single affiliate website, why not create ten or even more websites?

Good idea

Moreover, you do not even have to have a website to promote it using spun articles, you can use squidoo lenses or even blogger blogs instead.

Shameless plug, we also do that service here: 30 Hubsite/Blog Creation Not only will we write, spin, create accounts, and submit your articles, but we will also social bookmark the URLs after they’re live.

I think that this will be the last part of this case study. It is enough proof that article spinning is undoubtedly a very effective and profitable link building method which you should include in your “to do” list. At the moment I am writing some very useful affiliate marketing tutorials which will be sent to my subscribers in the very near future.

Cool case studies, thanks Sergey!
