Automatic Submission Tools?

[Brokerstar]

I'm curious about this as I've not really done anything in the way of article submissions.

Now I was always lead to believe that having the same article on lots of directories was bad, you know with duplicated content and all.

But I just read a thread where one of the guys says that Traffic Mania Article Bot really helps them with article submissions and gets lots of links back to their site.

So I'm trying to figure out if it's really worth while buying this software and what difference submitting articles actually makes with regards to helping you rank?

The best way to do it is using an article spinner. There are loads out there so just be careful which one you choose as half them are garbage. Use different titles, different keywords (vary the number randomly as well), different anchor text, different reference box text etc. Also, be sure to learn the ins and outs of spinning. I've become pretty good at it but it's annoying at the beginning. Once you get good at it, start swapping paragraph positions as well as removing random paragraphs as well. Basically you want every aspect of the article to be as different as possible.

You can then use some semi automated tools for submitting your articles.
Ive tried quite a few and theyre a mixed bag. Article bot is cheap but very limited and only submits one version of an article.

Personally, I've reverted to using a bot to semi automate account creation on 20 dirs, spin the article and all its components, then semi auto submit using one of the submission tools. go for the bext article sites - Buzzle, GoArticles, Ezine Articles etc. You can go for amass submission approach as well. I havnt tried this yet, but id imagine it can only do good things.

Also, learning to spin articles is very handy for spinning other content too such as press releases but could of course be applied on a much bigger scale.

Re: Spinning Articles.

Ok I understand what you're saying but lets say that I have a 'fresh article' and I want to send it out via my mass submission tool.

The submission tool would not spin it for me as it just submits the article so then my new and fresh article gets sent to say 200 directories, that's 200 duplicated posts essentially.

So would that not then make it worthless?

I've tried and tested many forms of article submissions, and here's what i've found. The best automatic article submission tool for sale is article post robot. It's very fast and efficient, but basically pointless, as submitting to 2000 directories makes no difference whatsoever as google only indexes four duplicate articles. The rest do not get indexed, so in googles eyes, the rest do not exist, and neither do the links on them. You may as well submit your articles to the top four directories manually, and save your money. As Ian said, the only way forewared is to spin various different versions of your article. You can do this using a spinning tool then manually submit the different versions, or use a semi automatic submitter as Ian said. There's a great site out there now called spin2submit which allows you to enter different word possibilities next to each word in your article, then automatically spins and submits all the different versions for you. It costs $35 per month, but is well worth it. To be honest though, i don't think that article directory links are worth much, and there are better things you could be doing with your time to build links. Sorry if all of that was a bit jumbled. I'm drunk.

Spinning just fills the web with more useless garbage, it's spam even if it's packaged in better terms, horrible advice to use any type of spinning software.

if your aim is to fill the web with usefull content, then don't use spinners. If your aim is to get the highest amount of indexed links from your articles, then definately do!

I dont think the intention of the OP was to find out how he could fill the web with really useful content. My interpretation was that he is looking to expand his backlink profile.

Let's be realistic. Even if you write a Pullitzer prize winning piece about rakeback, you're not going to get much traffic or sales because of it. Thats the nature of the rakeback industry.

Article directories are far better suited to other sales arenas (IMO).

If your goal as a poker affiliate is to fill the web with great content then that's great, by all means stick to it. Its a great ideal. If you're looking to get more backlinks and increase your SERPs then ignoring article marketing would be a big mistake.

There is a big difference between submitting a decent article using a mass submission tool and spinning that same decent content into 200 useless pieces of crap that read like jibberish.

Good article directories (and especially decent publishers who use these) will not use your articles if they read like jibberish.

I've done it, we've all probably done it - the benefits aren't there as with most shortcuts.

The problem with continuously using article submissions for links is that there's only a certain amount of directories, then you're continuously getting links from the same domains, and the links start becoming worth less and less. It's definately worth doing for a while, but in my opinion, it's not a long term strategy. Also, other than the top directories, the actual value of the links from the vast majority of directories is pretty much negligable. Blog links, even no follow ones, are generally far more valuable.

Fwiw, I think it's a great way to do a little link building to your inner pages when done properly.
