Cache now rebuilt
January 26, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Customers who updated content have been asking when their article amendments will be live - we updated the cache today - so all changes will now show live on Article Alley. Tags: Cache Explore related content
January 26, 2010 at 6:03 pm
A new feature we are testing at the moment is a related content explorer - we already have a lot of similar features, such as the tags on the left of 90% of articles and the recent articles on the right hand. That said this new type of search is proving popular with hundreds of searches already after only a few hours of it going live. We are not sure what impact if will have on our other monetization methods, but its certainly worth a trial period. Tags: asterpix, Related content Article Alley on Juggle.com

Found a really nice website data aggregator today, check out Article Alley on Juggle, there are literally hundreds of these sites around, and we have blogged about a good number here. Juggle is not that different except it has a really good design.
A weakness and Juggle is not alone in this respect is reliance on Alexa data, as this is not as representative as other data sources such as compete.com or quantcast. That said, its easy to use, and seems to contain data for the most popular sites on the web. There appears to be a feedback section, but I couldn’t easily find any way to add other sites, there is no add url type page etc. Their website says “Juggle provides factual information on hundreds of thousands of the web’s most popular topics and products. By using basic semantic technology, Juggle assesses and combines facts and information from the most trusted sources on the web to create a complete information set on each product and topic in our database. Juggle carefully organizes relevant data in each subject area in order to compare related topics and display more meaningful information about each topic. Juggle aims to give you all the facts and then some.” I really like this site, so will be keeping an eye on how they develop. Tags: Juggle Babiesbase

We are please to announce the launch of a new site in our network, this week we launched a baby and pregnancy community site.  Babiesbase I have two young babies at home so have been spending hours reading articles from Article Alley on this area, and the natural thing for us was to launch our own site. It already has a forum and a blog will go live this coming week. Of course related content from Article Alley authors will figure prominently if the content matches. In the coming weeks we will be launching a promotion campaign and adding video material from providers such as YouTube and our partner 5min. If you interested in this area, join the baby forum, there will shortly be a community area. Tags: babiesbase, baby, pregnancy Happy New Year

A warm welcome back to the New year from all the team at Article Alley - we are planning for 2010 to be our best ever year. This year we will be focussed on promotion of our authors articles, we are in discussions with a number of large internet players about content syndication, its going to be very exciting, more news soon.

Today we made some tweaks to Article Alley, 90% of our article pages have now lost their common left hand navigation menu and now show the most related tag pages for that page.
We thought what use is an automotive link to a someone reading an article about dating, hence the move to get rid of these non-relevant urls. Also for a long time the wiki link has been broken this is now fixed and a few hundred new wiki pages are also live. In 2010 we will expand this section hugely with a several 10,000’s of new pages going live. But for now its a few steps further along. Our 5min partnership is well progressed and their videos will very shortly feature on Article Alley - they are already proving to be a big hit on our other Article Directory A1articles. We are working very hard at promoting Article Alley again and following a few hiccups over recent months are confident of a doubling of traffic during the early part of 2010.

We are pleased to announce that we have signed a partnership deal with 5min.com, later this month, visitors will be able to watch their vidoes running across nearly 1,300,000 pages on our network. 5min.com attracts a large audience of millions of monthly visitors, distribution and monetization of these videos is the Company’s primary focus. 5min offers a one-stop solution for online video: providing a rich, segmented offering of tens of thousands of videos; empowering websites to integrate videos throughout their sites with just hours of work; and creating incremental revenue, traffic and engagement We feel that adding 5min’s content to our article pages will provide even more useful information to assist our visitors.

Thats some going and is a great tribute to all the hardwork that our authors put in. Every new page on Article Alley brings a small amount of traffic. When you have nearly 1,200,000 pages its easy to see where the traffic comes from. Our authors are always asking how to get more traffic for their articles - the basics are easy - write quality and ideally unique content and visitors will come.

We are pleased to launch our latest service, a squidoo and hubpage writing service. Both these sites are peforming really well in the search engines at the moment and we think that this service will be really popular.
You can use a Squidoo lens to add RSS feeds, images and links associated with your website you can also place descriptive and promotional text on it. You can place as much or as little information as desired and best of all you aren’t merely limited to the one lens; you can create several, all of which can promote the same website.
Hubpages is another popular social network site. It gives you the opportunity to get your website more hits and to bring you potential customers and clients. This is because even if people can’t find your website within a search engine search they may come across your hubpage, which will contain links back to your website, thus bringing you more traffic. So what can you do with a hubpage? On a hubpage you can include aspects such as links, images, text and RSS feeds as well as videos, all of which can be used as means of promoting your website and again, like with Squidoo lens you are able to produce a number of hubpages and the more you have the better chance you have of driving more traffic to your website. Like the sound of this? Our service can be found here New editor joins the team

We have been finding it really hard to keep up with all the great articles that our authors send through each day. But the good news is that our team has expanded with the recruitment of Suzanne, which takes us up to 4 full time editors. With her help we have cleared the backlog of submissions and emails that was starting to mount up, and the good news is that we are completely up to date as of 25th September. Thanks for bearing with us. |
