When you first get started submitting articles online, and periodically in the future, you will want to track your article submissions and the articles' propagation on the web, so that you can see where your article submission efforts are most effective.

There are several ways you can do this.

Tracking by Title

One easy way to track the number of times your article is appearing on the web is to create original, never-before-used titles for each of your articles, and you can track the number of times your article appears online simply by typing the article name into a search engine and counting the number of times it appears.

This method is one of the easiest ways to track the propagation of your articles, especially if you are mass-submitting to multiple websites for backlink purposes.

To do this, simply use a search engine to search for your proposed article title. Type in your article title into a search engine, in quotes, and if you come up with a 'search term not found' result, then you have a unique title. If not, add or subtract a word from the title and try again. For example, if I am thinking about using the title "List Building - How I Use Articles to Maximize My List Building" I would type that title into a search engine, in quote, and see if anyone else has used that title or word combination before. If they have, I might I might add the word 'results' to the end of the title, to create more uniqueness. The new title would look like this: "List Building - How I Use Articles to Maximize My List Building Results".

Once you have a unique title, submit the article you have written using that title. In a few days, type in the title you used into a search engine, once again in quotes, and unless someone else has by chance created something with exactly the same name as yours, you will be able to count the number of times your article appears by the number of times your article title shows up in the results.
