Automated article submission?

    Are there any really good article submission software programs out there? I've tried a few but no one is automated, takes at least an hour per batch.

    Many experts think article submission died in 2006 and search engine discounting links from article sites, IMO alternatively Blog Syndication is good.

    Blog syndication is definitely the way to play the game nowadays.

    I would also be interested in details. I have used article submission with some success but am unfamiliar with blog syndication.

    Yeah, I'm interested too. I had a feeling that automated article submission was long passed its peak.

    I don't think so. Article submission is still very powerful. Of course, depends on how you submit it. It will not be so good if you simply blast one same article to hundreds of sites. It is much more powerful if you submit different versions of the original article to different sites.

    There actually is an automated article submission program out there called Artemis Pro.<---Affiliate Link

    It isn't the cheapest article submission software out there, but it is the only completely automated one that I know of and use often.

    The software is easy to use, allows you to submit three variations of each article you submit (so you don't take a hit with the search engines), you can create an unlimited number of resource boxes (it will rotate through them and only add one to each outgoing article), and comes with thousands of publishers built right in and ready to submit to.

    James (the author of the software) has an eight week guarantee on it, but if you actually use it I highly doubt you will take him up on it.

    Here is the non-affiliate link if you are more comfortable: http://www.artemispro.com

    This is the problem when I asked this last time, not interested in affiliate links, want a real, honest opinion of software.

    I completely answered the question your posted. But, I will be happy to answer your new question:

    After I tested this software I stopped using Article Announcer because I received better results from using Artemis (only because Artemis came preloaded with hundreds more publishers to submit to and of course it is automated so it is easier to obtain the results).

    Unlike Article Announcer for example, with Artemis you do all of the article creation in a text editor (like WordPad, notepad, etc.) The software itself is basically an auto-submitter. You fill in your name, return email address, what .txt file your articles are located in, what .txt file your resource boxes are located in, and then you click submit. Simple as that.

    As far as the actual submission process goes it isn't lightning fast by any means. It normally runs on my machine for around 15-25 minutes and depends on your connection speed as well as the availability of each site you are submitting articles to.

    I can't tell you how great the product will be for you because I have no idea what quality of articles you write, nor do I know what the quality of links you will be using in your resource box. What I can tell you is that you will probably get better results than the non-automated submitter you are using because this software probably comes loaded with more publishers then what you are currently using (over 1,000), or maybe not if you have taken the time to build an enormous submission list. In either case you can load your submission list into Artemis as well.

    Now with all that said I would recommend that you be more specific with your question next time. I.E. Please include your detailed opinion of the software as I figured I answered your original question very well when I stated that I "use often." Besides the fact that I included the non-affiliate link as well which should tip you off that I like the software enough to not only take my own personal time to tell you about it, but also enough not to worry about whether or not I benefit financially from it.

    Good Luck finding the solution you want,

    Troy

    but have you ever actually been able to find an article which you have submitted through artemis? i did a test run and weeks later could not even find one article that had been indexed. where are these article directories it submits to?

    Ultimately I think only manual submissions work. If anyone knows a legit service for that, let me know.

    I currently use Article Submitter Pro but it's not 100% automatic. it allows you to select from about 1,000 directories and then you will have to go through each one selecting the appropriate category. But at least it fills in all the required fields.

    I used to submit to hundreds of sites but now only focus on about 20.

    If you have any specific questions about the features just ask me.

    Being that in theory Article Submitter Pro is still a manual process, might be a good business approach to sell article submission services. Just a thought.
