I discovered this method on marketing articles by using my Profile User Name. And I found it very effective way. So, I also applied this method on marketing articles. At ExpertsColumn my profile user name is Pruelpo. And it caters all the columns I published on that site. I shared my profile user name to Twitter, Facebook, StumbleUpon, LinkedIn, Google+ and other social networks and other book marking sites I am connected with – with short description about it.
Aside from those social networks and other book marking sites, I also shared my profile user name to other publishing sites I am writing for. This technique is legal and nobody will charge you spamming. And whoever attracted to click the said profile user name I used – he will be redirected to the landing page of my profile page. I called this procedure as “one link for all columns to read“.
We know that there are million of writers from around the world competing one another through their awesome original products. All these writers are considered as businessmen and women. Some of them are paying money too to promote their goods online. But we writers, we do not need to spend money to advertise our stuff. We writers are already the advertisers. When you shared your articles through adopting different methods, we know it that we are already advertising our own products. And we are promoting them without spending any pennies.
At the time I started my blogging hobby and I started writing for some paying sites, I started adapting this method. I started submitting my profile link for every paying site I am contributing to the three giants search engines also such as Bing, Yahoo and Google. Now every time I published a new column, I submit it to Yahoo, Bing and Google by using my ExpertsColumnprofile user name. Of course, before I submit them to those search engines – I have first opened an account on them.
There is nothing wrong if you will adopt this method. By the way, after the submission of your profile user name to those search engines - they do not immediately index what you have submitted. Their crawlers would have to check first the link - their purpose is to gather and collect data found on that link. At least it took them from a period of a week, or a month before the link of the website is considered to be indexed and included on their websites and articles directories - so here writers should have to practice the habit to write original good quality contents columns for your readers and search engines.
