How Good Is Unique Article Review?

Posted by Daniel McGonagle on March 30, 2010

Is Unique Article Review Still Effective? Obviously I think so because I am still using it as a mainstay for my article marketing and article syndication. But the question comes up because some people are having difficulty getting the same kind of positive and lasting results.

If you have heard that spinning is no longer acceptable by search engines that is not really accurate. Bad spinning has never been accepted by search engines and lousy articles do not rank well either. Google does appreciate the good quality content and fresh perspective and that comes from good spinning.

How long does the interest in your article continue to send your site backlinks? Well, that is going to depend on many factors. The frequency with which you add fresh content to your website had an effect overall. If this seems to be the case for your site, there are several ways to restore the flow of links or fix the situation. It has not been the case for most of my sites and articles.

Even if it is true that all or nearly all syndication services have some sort of footprint these days that search engines can identify, there are ways to work around this. Actually in some cases the footprint is dead obvious. When all of the articles have the same size, structure, number of paragraphs or the number of words, that is very conspicuous. You really need to vary your anchor text and stop using that same old static hyperlink in every article you write. Because you can rotate multiple resource boxes for each article there really is no excuse for using the same old identical resource box all the time.

Don’t kid yourself. There is more to this program than just a quick submit and forget your article. Take the time to learn how to use some of its additional features to improve you traffic results.

For one thing, it is simple enough for you to vary your anchor text and keywords and urls for your articles. Another way you can expand your online presence and improve traffic is to make some additional sites in good niches that you can link to from your articles.

Another approach is to increase your web presence with some Web 2.0 sites such as HubPages. They need to be content rich. You already know that your articles will be sent to many sites and result in direct traffic. Send the direct traffic to your hubs, raise their ranking and they will continue to direct traffic to your main site long after your article has been dispersed.

Remember Unique Article Wizard allows you to resubmit your revised articles after a while. Analyze which parts of your sites can benefit most from increased traffic and revise your anchor texts and urls accordingly. Then revise your article and resubmit to start seeing a fresh flow of authentic targeted traffic. Learn how to use the tools you have and then work to improve how they work for you and you will discover even more online business success.

Yes. Unique Article Wizard is a valuable tool for article marketing and to get good quality one-way-links back for your website.

Which Article Submission Service is Best?

Posted by Donna Bessken on October 3, 2009

Are you a struggling writer online? You write and write and your articles just sit there? How do you know what to do next? How do you decide where to send them? Here are some great tips to help you find the best article submission service to use for your work.Here is my list of well recognized article submission services. No junk sites are included. This list covers in random order these services: ISnare, My Article Network, Submit Your Article, Spin Distribute, Unique Article Wizard, Send Articles.com, Fast Submit Articles.com, SEO Content Writers,1waylinks.com, ArticleSubmissionServices.com and My Way Links. A brief description of the services and costs is included for each one.

The sales page at ARTICLE SUBMISSION SERVICES.Com has typos and grammatical mistakes. No Way. No, I do not need their submitting services either. They also cost too much. I can get better results for less. Cost – $20 to write one article and submit to 100 directories. At FAST SUBMIT ARTICLES.Com they write and submit one article to 352 directories for you for $30.00! That is expensive unless you wrote the article yourself and have them distribute it for $6.00.They include EzineArticles and several other highly regarded directories. No free submissions allowed.

ISNARE sends one copy of your 500 word article out to hundreds of webmasters. They are careful about preventing cross-posting the same article to multiple directories. The difference between paid Platinum membership level ($59.95/month) and the free service is substantial. There are many additional perks for paid members. ISnare will give free members some traffic and a decent amount of backlinks. On another company, if you want a team of dedicated witers working on your project, take a look at SEO CONTENT WRITERS. Their site is professional in appearance and expensive. That and their site statistics suggest they are delivering good service. No free submissions are available.

SUBMIT YOUR ARTICLE is better than ISnare. It submits to EzineArticles and other high quality directories. It applies an advanced Article Leverage technology to enhance your listings. Cost. $37.00/month. SPIN DISTRIBUTE is another network of sites service where you get links from other sites in the network AND from other sources, like directories. They also offer to write, spin, submit, and syndicate 10 articles/month for $89.00/month, and you would be hard pressed to beat that kind of value. There are smaller packages but no free ones.

MY WAY LINKS is like a closed-door membership site/service whereby you’ll only get links from quality sites. The network is small compared to what My Article Network and Unique Article Wizard have for network size. Cost. $7 first month. $47.00/month. On the other hand, UNIQUE ARTICLE WIZARD offers blog, html sites, and an article directories network. You WILL get hundreds or even thousands of backlinks per article here, plus a decent amount of referral traffic. It is worth every penny of its $67/month cost.

Article Marketing Automation, also known as MY ARTICLE NETWORK is a blog network that is roughly 10k-20k sites in size. This kind of distribution of original articles is great for backlinks and referral traffic. Cost at the time of this writing is $47.00/month. No free membership levels except for a short trial. Another service is SEND ARTICLES.COM. Their sales page is too brief. They cost too much at one article per month/$30. And they only send to 100 directories. Remember your link building campaign needs more than one kind of backlink and an article directory is only one type.

1 WAY LINKS is another network of blogs with about 1500 blogs in the network. They started out strong and I was initially pleased with their results but the quality of the sites was not maintained, too many of them turned into link-farm type sites, thus rendering their links as ineffective. This was disappointing because it was easy to use and only cost $47/month. They had a good support forum too. I am not recommending it now though.

Nonetheless, I have learned that it will be a lot less expensive and much more effective if you apply your own leverage and your own techniques to article marketing and submission. If you connect with networks that already exist and already are waiting for your articles it will cost a lot less than many of these other services mentioned. What works best in my opinion is to use either MY ARTICLE NETWORK ($47/month) if you are just starting a site, or UNIQUE ARTICLE WIZARD ($67/month) for solid power and reliability. Write your own articles or get some written where they have writers who specialize in preparing original content articles in UAW format. Use your time, money and talent wisely. It is best to create your own system. Mine is working well.
