what is the Best Article Script for SEO ?

I'm looking at this script..

http://www.alstrasoft.com/article_manager.htm

it's 149 which might not be bad if it's prefect, I don't like that I can't see any type of support forum where I can ask how to edit the script. :|

here are a few things I'd like the script to be strong in...

• seo url's
• meta tags
• able to set some submission as paid ( featured )
• have a full editor when submitting
• supported, customizable

can you please post some links of other great article scripts and why they are so good ? and if you are using one, can you please post your site so I can get an idea of what is possible with the script..

Thank you everyone

I worked a little bit with EvoArticles. It's a pretty nice piece of software with most of the features you are after. The bad news is they know longer offer any support for it and they shut down their forums so it's hard to find other users... the good news however, is they don't charge for it anymore.

The site is at http://www.evo-dev.com but it may not be around for too much longer the way they have been cutting back.

I'll check it out,, I really want something with support though.

I see this script and they have a small forum
http://www.articledashboard.com/
I think it's a free script I just seen it tonight

 

http://www.flaxweb.com/products/articles/

http://www.scriptsfrenzy.com/article.html

this is the same script in the 2 urls, i think they both have resale rights so there is difference in price

i really recommend that one

 

good deal,, thanks Ba7ebahaa
I'll check it out..

anyone else know of other scripts ?

 

Evo Articles is do damn good too

believe me when i say that because i tried lots of article scripts

"Evo Articles" and "Article Publisher Pro" and "vivvo"

the first one is FREE but you won't find support - who needs support when having this amazing script anyways

a won't mind a positive rep btw



Edit:

yet another great script

http://www.softbizscripts.com/article-management-script.php

 

when i try to install the evo- script I see this

"You must have the correct "license id" which can be found in the Member's Area - the script will not install otherwise."

I think maybe it isn't free still ?
http://www.evo-dev.com/products/evoarticles/faq.php
shows 250$ ?



I'll try the other links

oh, and I gave ya some rep already

 

http://articletrader.com/articlems/

 

thank you iatbm this is one I was using but I'd like to get something better

thanks for the link still

 

would still like to hear about a few other article script..
right now I'm waiting for David and his team at phpld to see what his article hack will look like, but I'm only giving till the end of the year. If I don't find anything by then, I'll prolly go with something like the one in my first post..

 

I'm also looking for an article script and vivvo looks really good. The only problem is the price, I think there are other free options that offer the same features.

 

I just purchased this script
http://www.softbizscripts.com/article-management-script.php
tomorrow will install and will let you know

 

Loco, beware of alstrasoft's Article Manager Pro. That version appears to have a lot of vulernabilities. I am (was) interested in this script too. If you check their site, you will see this script hasn't been updated since last year altough it appears to be vulnerable.

See these sites for more info:

I e-mailed Alstrasoft regarding this and I am still waiting for a reply. If I get a reply, I will post here.

 

Got a reply:

 

ah, didn't know that about alstrasoft exploits

Still looking,, I want to see the phpLD version of an article script but the owner has been busy on other things

 

if PHPLD is a good link directory script this doesn't mean that they can do excellent article script

go for established/updated one that has been working with many users and they know what is god and what is bad about it

don't make your site as experiment land for new scripts

 

ya, I've thought of that too, but I want a script with good support, and the phpld directory is "decent" support.

I just want the best article script available,,

I wish there was a clear graph that would show all script available..

I'm looking for the "vbulletin of article scripts"

 

http://articletrader.com/articlems
very good but you have to do many changes.
(you have to read most articletrader forum topics to get what you want)

 

thats the first one I tried and had liked the most so far.

I've been talking about my url on another site and I would like to also have an RSS feed that would show 5-10 post from the feeds I select.

still looking

 

the alstrasoft script is a nice script and they are currently offering a 20% xmas discount.

how serious are the vulnerabilities im in the dark here? was their reply to stdio suggesting v1.7 was a fix to these?
