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.
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 and about two hours to write quality seed articles for my article spinner. 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 website, why not create ten or even more websites? 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. You can even avoid paying $50 for submitting articles if you have the time and the patience to do them on your own.
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.
I really hope you found this case study useful. Don’t forget to subscribe to my list to get more information on affiliate marketing and search engine optimization.

whoa quite the new layout is really wide. I’m on a resolution of 1024 by 768 and it still doesn’t fit. By the way, I asked where you got your article submission done a while back. You said you got someone off DP, can you refer me to someone, I don’t seem to be able to find anyone willing to submit all my spun articles.

The new layout looks better than the previous one. Simple and clean.

The new layout is not ready yet, however, I have changed the width to fit 1024×768. I hope it looks better now. There are so many people who do spun article submissions. You can check these threads(it took me a few minutes to find them), or you can even generate 200 spun articles yourself and ask to submit them to article directories(one article for each article dir).

Thanks, the new layout is much cleaner. It fits on my screen now with no horizontal scroll bars.

First off, AWESOME case-study!
It really got me thinking, I’ve been looking for ways to build my backlinks and what a better time to find your CS.
I’m currently using your Article Spinner, is there by any chance I could input my seed article and have it spit out all the variation of my seed article in a zip file or bulk download?
I’m hitting the refresh button but not sure when I’ll have all the possible spun articles my seed article provided.
Please LMK if there’s an easier way…as for now I’ll just keep refreshin’ and copy&past’n
Thanks!

Hi Dencha,
I will add this feature soon. Unfortunately this month I do not have enough time because I am graduating from university.

Hey Sergey congrats on graduating from your University & looking forward to the new feature on your Article Spinner!

Do you mind if I ask how you managed to get $850/month with only 1500 uniques a month promoting clickbank products?
I have been doing this a long time and I have many clickbank sites. For every 1000 visitors that come to my site, 20-30% click through to the vendors sales page. Even if the sales page converts 2% (which is pretty darn good), the most you would make with a thousand uniques would be 6 sales. Assuming the product pays 25 bucks, that is $150 per thousand visitors or $225 per 1500 uniques. And this is the best possible situation – chances are, 20% will click to the vendor’s page and it will convert at 1%, leaving you 2 sales and $50 per 1000 or $75 per 1500.
Am I missing something?
Steve

Steve, there are many products that pay $50+ per sale, some of them even pay $82. Have you tried to promote them? With 1500 targeted visitors and 30-40% ctr (that is my avarage ctr), it won’t make you a problem to make $850 from one single website. You can make even more if you collect email addresses of your visitors. You should work on your CTR and conversion rate.

Hey Serg!
Howzit going? Got any new updates on the site you did the Article Spinning experiment on?
Also could you write a post on how to write “quality” seed articles? Currently that’s my biggest problem…I can’t write to save my life
Thanks man!
