Why I Created This Guide...
I created this guide because I noticed so many people exhibiting frustration with Street Articles for various reasons. They complain about low traffic, low article click-through rates, or a frustrating article review process.
Although I have experienced all these things in the past, I have finally learned how to use SA articles effectively. My article click-through rates average around 20% or 30% (sometimes as high as 50%), and I have generated consistent sales from my articles. My record is over 50 sales from 1 article.
I don’t mention these things to brag, but merely to show you what can be accomplished through articles submitted to SA if you do thinks properly.
You will want to read this guide if you too want to master the “art†of using Street Articles. There is a certain technique that I employ to maximize my results from every article that I write. This guide will show you how to also maximize your results from Street Articles.
However, I should point out this guide assumes an introductory understanding of how to write an article. It also assumes you understand basic concepts such as backlinks and anchor text. If you would like more information on writing an article (structure, formatting, etc.) then you will want to check out other training resources on WA for that first. I don’t feel a need to re-hash what has already been covered in great depth.
@urn357: I understand where you're coming and you do raise some legitimate concerns. I'm not claiming these techniques will work for everyone, but I have certainly noticed a higher CTR on most of the articles I submit using these strategies. I'll upload some screenshots when I have a chance, but it's not uncommon for me to get CTR around 20 - 30% on my SA articles.
Part of a high CTR also has to do with the article topic and the quality of the article. Some topics are just not going to give you a high CTR for various reasons (e.g. not something people are passionate/emotional about).
In response to SA not coming up in webmaster tools, I have noticed a similar thing as you sometimes. However, webmaster also doesn't show ALL of the links going to your website. Just because it doesn't come up in webmaster doesn't mean Google doesn't recognize it. And no, SA has not changed their links to NF.
And I've said this before in the forum. Google webmaster tools no longer recognizes my links from SA. They used to about 6-10 months ago, but nope not anymore. So if you are looking for Google to recognize your links from SA, then good luck on that. Yeah, your article may rank high in their search engine, but I think SA changed their links to NF or something. I will think this way until they clarify and show me I'm wrong anyway.
