Many people use article marketing to advertise their websites. Using articles for this purpose can demonstrate your credentials to share information to the broader internet community.

If you are involved in this promotion method have you ever stopped to consider to what extent this activity of article marketing is bringing in income for your online efforts. If not, you are highly recommended to spend some time correlating revenue to article marketing.

While article marketing incorporates many factors such that an exact computation of advantages in income terms is difficult, we cannot ignore the fact that when it comes to profitability of any online business, we must reckon in terms of pounds and pennies.

Here statistics play a big part in comparing revenue to articles and I am about to explain a way that you can check your article marketing statistics.

Simple calculations can help to compare revenue to the quantity of articles we write, even though there are factors specific only to a certain author that are not common to any other person.

Over a certain time of, say, 6 months, a writer of several articles can graph receipts derived from article writing with the "y" axis as Revenue and the "x" axis of the graph as the quantity of articles submitted, each time maintaining the number of article directories to which the article was sent at the same figure.

For example if you are marketing these articles to sites such as ezinearticles.com or goarticles.com, your revenue that goes to the "y" axis is the payout derived for the month from using solely article marketing, and the "x" axis will be the number of articles submitted.

Over the time-span of 6 months, you will have enough evidence on the graph to form a straight line that goes through nearly all these points on the graph where the line is represented by the equation y=mx+c

The function of the regressed straight line will indicate that the income derived is a function of "m" which is the slope of the line, and a constant "c".

The constant "c" is the value at which the straight line cuts the "y" axis and this is the particular part which stems from the author and is an indication of his skills in writing, his style of writing, his command of the language and factors that only the individual demonstrates.

By studying earnings obtained vs number of articles submitted, keeping other factors unchanged, it will be possible to compute the quality of the author's writing and form a rough basis to project further revenue to the number of articles scheduled for submission, ignoring other factors such as keyword choice, onsite and offsite search engine optimisation which are not included in the study, and only on the basis of the individual's writing "flair" and talent as measured by the constant "c".

This is by no means exact; but recording statistics and charts like these is useful in helping the marketer notice sudden trend changes, particularly where performance falls.

He can then consider what has caused this deviation and highlight details that may be otherwise missed.

Many use software to record earnings, but most scripts do not include graphical analysis. When the charting is done manually the internet marketer notices sudden fluctuations or is able to consider what to alter to bring in more revenue.

He can go deeper to ask this question: " Since the revenue is directly proportional to the slope of the revenue line, what factors will change the slope?".

Knowing these factors, he can vary them and test the changes.

By correlating revenue with articles written, the internet marketer can forecast profitability, no matter how rough the estimate. He has on his hands a set of statistics to use for more analysis, or in marketing terms "testing".
