Many people use article marketing to promote their websites. Utilizing articles in this way can demonstrate your credentials to share skills 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 revenue for your online efforts. If not, you are highly recommended to spend some time correlating revenue to article marketing.

While article marketing includes many variables such that an exact computation of benefits in monetary terms is difficult, we cannot escape the fact that when it comes to profitability of any online business, we must think in terms of hard cash.

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

Simple maths can help to project revenue to the quantity of articles we write, even though there are factors peculiar only to a particular author that are not common to any other person.

Over a certain time of, for instance, 6 months, an author of various articles can graph income derived from article writing with the "y" axis as Revenue and the "x" axis of the graph as the quantity of articles submitted, every time maintaining the number of article sites to which the article was submitted 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 only article marketing, and the "x" axis will be the number of articles sent.

Over a period of 6 months, you will have plenty of information on the graph to draw a straight line that goes through the majority of the 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 intersects the "y" axis and this is the particular part which stems from the author and is an indication of his talents in article writing, his style of writing, his command of the language and other factors that only the individual shows.

By studying earnings obtained vs number of articles submitted, keeping other factors unchanged, it will be possible to gauge the quality of the author's writing and form a rough basis to project further revenue to the number of articles planned for submission, ignoring other factors such as keyword choice, onsite and offsite search engine optimisation which are excluded from the study, and only on the basis of the individual's writing "flair" and abilities as measured by the constant "c".

This is by no means exact; but keeping statistics and charts like these is useful in helping the marketer become aware of sudden trend changes, especially where performance falls.

He can then study what has caused this change and take note of details that may be otherwise missed.

Many use software to track earnings, but most scripts do not incorporate graphical analysis. When the charting is done by hand the internet marketer notices sudden changes or is able to consider what to change to derive 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 further analysis, or in marketing terms "testing".
