Distribute Your Articles Dot Com

    I still see that there are a lot of issues going on with isnare.com; not replying to message inquiries, articles taking too long to get approved, not being allowed access to your own member's area and so-on. I guess this is why I left them a long time ago. They have had some major issues the last couple of years, but last year was really big. Ever since then, they seem to be digging deeper holes for their customers.

    Anyways, I mentioned the above because while looking for a good replacement of isnare, I came across distributeyourarticles.com. They seem to be very pricey, but also look very good, and seem to be organized.

    Has anyone used them or is currently using them? Or have you even heard of them? It would definitely be nice if I could get some input on how they operate from someone who has used them.

    well, isnare team is least bothered to reply customer`s query.

    My article went LIVE after 3 weeks and not sure whether it has been posted to articles dir/sites they claim to submit.

    distributeyourarticles.com is new in the arena...just browsed the site.There seems to be technical glitches during site navigation...no idea about there reputation and service.

    Howdy, everybody. This might answer some of your questions about Distribute Your Articles

    Article Marketer (one of the first and largest article distribution companies) ceased operations in October 2009. The two founders went their separate ways and each launched a new company: DistributeYourArticles and ContentCrooner. Both offer automated article distribution; each have different features and price points.

    Full Disclosure here -- I am working with Content Crooner, so I won't give any product reviews or opinions on either company...just passing along this info. Happy to answer any questions you have though.

    I don't have any inside scoop on their company beside what's posted on their website. I believe they are doing distribution but their publisher list is currently offline so I don't know how many places they are sending to. I guess I'd recommend just checking their website for updates?

    sorry I don't have more info that that!

    We are all about getting your content (articles) syndicated and distributed automatically to as many places as possible. Our pub list is at 1,500 sites, and 100,000+ readers (news groups, mail groups) etc. In that regard we are doing what Article Marketer did...getting your content out there and building backlinks from relevant sites.

    What's new is we are making it easy to connect your article marketing campaigns to your own social networks...once your article is distributed you can click a link to Tweet it, or add it to your LinkedIn profile (LinkedIn feature goes live next week I believe). We are adding more social networks in the coming weeks too.

    We are also doing automatic article feeds through Twitter and RSS feeds....giving our authors more exposure in whole new ways that Article Marketer didn't. It's what we call the "Evolution of Article Marketing"...using not just other publishers and article sites, but social networks too. Our authors are loving the Twitter tie in, as you can imagine :)

    We just hired on a new affiliate manager and he's going to be putting together some really nice resources for our affiliates, so you might want to look into that too.

    Hope this helps! Oh, btw, we have a monthly or yearly subscription, or a lifetime membership. Whichever you choose, you get unlimited article submissions...no extra fee per article. Prices start at $39.99 for monthly.

    Ah, one last thing...if you need help writing articles we have a great partner company that will do that for you, $21/article. Hope this didn't turn into too much of an ad...just trying to answer your questions :)

    I definitely don't know why its taking so long, but its really pissing off a lot of people...

    What pisses me off the most is that their customer service really sux... Actually I think its non-existent....

    I have written them over 20 times and have never received a reply, NEVER... I was hoping that someone that worked for isnare would see this thread and answer our damn questions. Until then, I'm staying away...

    Does anyone know about articletrader.com, i have submitted articles to them and none of the articles are approved.

    I also posted questions on their forum but it looks as if nobody is interested to answer them.

    I decided to give Distribute your Articles (DYA) a try. I was disappointed. My first article was submitted to 130 article sites, but the sites were pretty low quality (never heard of them). Nothing like EZA, even though DYA advertises EZA and other top article sites on their distribution list. I had no problem submitting several of my articles to EZA manually before joining DYA, so I know my articles are up to par with EZA guidelines.

    Next I decided to check out some of the sites they submitted my article to that I never heard of. Within the first 20 links I clicked, one was reported as an attack site by google, another was a broken link, another had a wordpress plugin problem, another said the article site was suspended, etc. Goodness, that happen within the first 20 links. I didn't have the heart to continue clicking the rest of the links.

    I asked for a refund from DYA. Their policy is they will give a full refund within 30 days. We will see how that turns out.

    Conclusion. I have tried several of these Article Distribution Sites and none have lived up to their promos or promises. You are 100% better off submitting your article to 5 or 6 quality article sites manually than to have it submitted automatically to 130 junk sites.

    Follow up on refund.

    The refunding process promised by DYA has not gone smooth. First request they responded with an email to try to talk me out of it. They question my common sense in wanting a refund.

    I replied and insisted I get a refund. WoW, I have gotten refunds in my time, but DYA wants to make the refund process as unpleasant of an experience as possible. Other internet companies that honored their refund policy was as simple as requesting it and you got the refund. Chris (DYA Rep & I think owner) must think others never had a refund to their paypal account before to compare DYA's bureaucratic nightmare to be refunded as they promised.

    Despite their refund policy, I was persistent and did as they asked. Now I wait for the refund or their next excuse of not refunding as they promised.

    p.s. if you do decide to deal with DYA, keep copies of everything and also, check out the sites they submit your article to.
