| Several years ago, I invited
someone to write an article for Wifcon.com's Analysis page
(Its under the Reading section in the right column). The
individual said he was going to submit an article to a "professional"
journal, instead. I thought that was great, if he didn't want
anyone to read it. If you are an author of
professional articles on federal contracting, or, if you wish to write a
professional article, submit it to Wifcon.com. If you want
publicity for yourself, and/or, if you want free advertisement for
yourself and organization, publish it at Wifcon.com. Here is why
you should.
The table below shows the Top 10 articles for
2007 that are stored on Wifcon.com's server.1

that are stored on Wifcon.com's server and not as a link to another
internet site. |
The table above presents some impressive numbers
but a little more information stresses the point. For example,
during 2007, the top article was downloaded 3,089 times. On
average, that is about 257 times a month or about 9 times a day.
Remember, that is just for 1 year.
Let's take another example--my article on the
Fixed-Price Incentive Firm Target contract. That was downloaded
1,637 times during 2007. However, it was published to the site in
2003--over 4 years ago. That is over 4 years of being seen!
In the first 7 weeks of 2008, it is ahead of its pace for 2007.
Do you think that is impressive? Well, here is one that is better
yet. In the year 2000, Vern Edwards published his article:
Award Term: The Newest Incentive on Wifcon.com. Seven years
later, it was the second most popular article with 2,143 downloads.
In fact, none of the top 10 articles were added to the site in 2007. That's
telling you that Wifcon.com provides your articles with staying power.
So, ask yourself this. Do you want your
article to hide in that stack of aging paper in the corner or do you want
people to download it at Wifcon.com?
