It has come to my attention that most online article authors have no idea how many people are reading their articles or how many places that those articles have ended up you see? For instance just because an article that a writer has written has let's say 350 article views does not mean that this figure is the total number of article views. How so you ask?
Well consider how many people, websites and Ezines will capture these articles and re-host them elsewhere and how many people are reading those. On one online article submission site they work very hard to attract more traffic and thus there will be more views there thus higher average counts and that should be the goal of the online article submission website, both for their revenue and most bang for the buck for authors.
For authors they need to consider something also, that just because an author me for instance has 1,690,035 does not mean I do not have over 10-million or more total due to the RSS feeds and article publisher captures, 35,148 now. You see those articles are everywhere now? Those are my initial thoughts on the subject as a studier of online article author stats, so attention Online Article Authors; Consider the bigger picture and ask yourself; How Many Article Views Do You Really Have? Think on this in 2006.
