Promoting My AC Content Helped Me Increase My Page Views by 50%

For those of you who feel that promoting your AC content is a waste of time or simply not worth the effort, let me counter that opinion for you. Until two months ago, I had never bothered to promote my AC content, relying instead on good key words and Google searches to have people find my articles.

When AC implemented its page view program, I was at last able to see firsthand what articles received the most page views, and which articles were doing dismally poor. I also received my first page view bonus payment, and was suddenly struck with the incentive to promote my AC content in an effort to consistently raise my page views each month and thus earn a higher bonus.

For the two months before I started promoting, I was averaging about 30,000 page views per month. Now, I also have about 300 articles published, so while 30,000 page views per month may seem high, it actually averages out to about 1,000 per article, which, having read several discussions in the forums, many AC content producers are also averaging with only a small amount of articles published.

I did several things to promote my AC content, and have seen my page views swell from 30,000 to about 45,000 this month, about a 50% increase. One of the first things I began doing to promote my AC content was to become more active in the forums. If someone had a question and I knew the answer, or if I just wanted to contribute to the conversation, I did so, making sure to provide a link to my content or a relevant article. In this way, I began to gain the notice of other CPs, and I'm sure gathered a few page views.

Browsing the forums also brought to my attention two AC groups on Yahoo, which I promptly joined. PromoteYourACArticles is one, and AC-Friends is the other. I'm sure there are quite a few more out there. The object of AC related groups is mainly to further share and promote your content amongst the other members of the group, earning more page views, but also to share valuable information about AC.
