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.

It means less links per page and more relevant text to accompany articles.  Most visitors come directly to a page following a search from Google or Yahoo so it makes sense to only show relevant text.

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.
