Check Out These Numbers On Document Sharing

If you a regular reader of Insightful Mommy, you will appreciate this update.  If you a new visitor, welcome – I hope you find value in what I’m sharing with you.

I thought I’d check in and see how many views my documents are getting from the document sharing sites I mentioned a couple of weeks ago.

Remember that document sharing sites are websites that you submit your articles or guides or reports to that reach a wider audience than simply posting to your blog.  It’s a way to get more readers, more exposure and, in turn, more sales.

So here’s my update:

• The one I submitted on Scribd.com has gotten 17 views.  One that I submitted about 2 weeks prior to that had 26 views.  But here’s the kicker – one that I just submitted last night has 287 views today!  I can only attribute this to the subject matter.  They are all written in exactly the same style, same font, same length – so it must be a better topic.  I will keep writing about this!
• The one I submitted on Yudu.com had 4 views total for my 3 documents.
• Those from Issuu.com only had 2 views on the oldest document and 4 views on the document from 2 weeks ago.  The newest one submitted yesterday has nothing so far.
• On DocStoc.com numbers were about the same – 3 views on the oldest document and 1 view on the one from 2 weeks ago.  I forgot to put my newest article on there, so I’ll have to check on those numbers in the next few days.
• And on Docshare.com something must have gone wrong with my upload.  It is showing that I have no documents uploaded.  I will look in to that one as well.

I also found another website that I will share with you – www.edocr.com.  I uploaded one to it last night.  Upon checking the numbers, it got 2 views.

So, from all these document sharing sites, Scribd.com is showing the best numbers by far.  Definitely seems like I should focus solely on submitting there and forget the other sites.

However, I hopped over to Google Analytics to see the actual click-thru rate to my website.  There were only 2 click-thrus from the document sharing sites.  And you will never guess where they came from…

Issuu.com!

I guess I won’t discount the other sites just yet

Well, I won’t dwell too much on the numbers – they are what they are.  And, believe me, I have to fight it to not dwell and research and study them till I go cross-eyed.  But, I have a renewed focus from my coaching call and mastermind group, so I’m moving on to more important things that I am working on.

I will be very interested to see what the click-thru rate from Scribd.com is after Analytics is updated tonight.  With 287 views, there must be some click-thrus, right?!
