Talented writers, here at Associated Content (AC), strive to increase their page views on their articles every day. Content Producers are always looking for new and effective ways to get the word out about their articles. They want to attract more readers, more page views and, ultimately, more money.

There are many helpful Associated Content articles already written by the Content Producers (CP's) here on AC. These helpful articles contain hints, tips and suggestions to help CP's with their page view goals. It is highly recommended that all Content Producers do a search for these articles in the Associated Content search box and read them. Learn and utilize the tips and suggestions shared by professional Content Producers who want to help others succeed as they do. You'll thank yourself when you start pulling in 5k page views.

To get started with one, very effective, way to promote your AC articles that is guaranteed to build page views and pull in new readers, read on.

The first thing you want to do is create a blog of your very own. Keep it simple until you get the hang of utilizing all the templates and such. Then, you want to use your blog to advertise your Associated Content articles. You will also want to sign up for Google's AdSense so you can set up Google Ads on your blog and, hopefully, make a few extra bucks the same way AC does.

To get started, follow these suggestions:

1. Sign up with a free blog company like Blogspot at (http://www.blogger.com/).

2. Use your blog to share all the articles you post on AC.

3. Install the Google Toolbar with the B (Blogspot) Button activated. (http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/index.html)

4. For exclusive articles, pull up your article on AC, highlight an interesting, short, snippet and click on the B in the Google toolbar. The pop-up box will show the link to your article and the snippet you highlighted. Double check the contents of the box, add a unique comment, if you like, and then Publish.

5. For nonexclusive articles, copy and paste a larger portion of your article with a link back to AC into your blog and publish it.

www.Squarespace.com is an EXCELLENT blog site, great layout and VERY easy to use. There is a monthly fee but they offer a 30 day free trial with no sign up except a valid email. That's what I use for my blog.
