    I just write my own or rewrite quality PLR products. It's really not that hard. I do use Wordflood.

    Your articles won't be accepted in the article directories if they are some spammy nonsense content.
    Furthermore how do you think the potential customer will feel about that?
    It's not about quantity, it's about quality :)

    I've been using submityourarticle.com after hearing someone here (perhaps the owner, I don't know) mention it.

    I'm pretty happy with it after two months. I write a article a week, use the spinner to create some slightly different flavors, and then let it submit the article to a bunch (50?) of sites. I don't think I've seen any bump in traffic yet... but I'm optimistic.

    THOUGHT: One good relevant website that picks up a good on-topic article you've written can basically be golden in my experience...

    BTW, a related thought. I used to write computer books. More than 150 of them. And I took a book I'd written about Excel (MBA's Guide to Microsoft Excel), gave it to my admin and had her create, no kidding, 70-80 articles on using Excel functions. E.g., "using the Excel PMT function to calculate your mortgage payment". I then had her post the articles (each with a couple of links) to my favorite half dozen or so directories.

    I am not sure that the, roughly, 1000 links I got were useful at all. I don't think I saw any bump in traffic that I can associate with the links. I explain this, er, failure to myself as a case where irrelevant links from off-topic articles in low PR locations end up being worthless.

    I wouldn't recommend using that software. It doesn't take long to write an article. Or you hire someone to write articles for you for a minimal amount of money. You want quality articles so that readers will click through to your site.

    Article software spits out crappy content.

    You're better off hiring a good writer or writing the content yourself.

    As both a writer and an editor I can tell you that it is absolutely obvious when someone uses article spinning software to generate articles. If you don't want to write your own articles you can always hire someone to write them for you--after all, you'll probably have to hire someone to rewrite them for you when the spun articles don't work out, why not just spend the right amount of money the first time around?

    I have tried software and it very poor. Stick with writing your own articles or hriing others to do it for you. You ca't beat human intervention

    I've used Instant Article Wizard 2.0 and it's nowhere near as good as it make's out to be, the research it does for a keyword could be done yourself online through Google or any search engine for that matter.

    I now write my own articles using around 300-400 words using microsoft word as my spellchecker, i then submit them to ezinearticles 1 at a time so my articles don't get buried amongst the others.

    Personally i don't rewrite articles but it is another way to go so i might try that.

    Like some members have said here it isn't actually that hard to write articles, it takes me 10 minutes to write 1 so 6 an hour is a realistic target.

    I can write and rewrite quality articles for you at a very reasonable and minimal price. Instead of buying software why not hire me instead. I'm on or . IM me so that we could talk.

    It would be a better bet to write your own articles. If they are spammy in any way your account will be suspended.

    so many others said it first, just hire or generate your own content. this forum has a section on services and you can always try elance.com. I've been using them and so far, I'm pleased.

    This is new to me. I looked into it and saw the WordFlood demo.

    From a marketing perspective, you would be better off writing it yourself and having a professional edit it or hiring a professional to write it for you, paying particular attention to hiring a person who has a handle on your market and its essential keywords as well as search engine optimization. Likewise, from the SEO perspective, I noticed the demo's final selection of words were worse off for SEO than the original.

    I would strongly advise anyone not to use content creators. The output is very low in quality and your site content should be of the "quality, not quantity" variety. It does you no good to have 100 pages of content on your site if visitors come and only spend 2 or 3 seconds on a page before clicking away. It would be better to have 10 pages of well-written unique content that capture the attention of visitors for several minutes. The longer they're on your site, the more likely that they will do what you want them to do (sign up for an e-mail list, download a report, purchase a product, etc.).

    I have been writing articles for more than two years . I prefer writing articles through your own effort. Its time consuming but worth it. Auto writing software spit out an article which seem to be different but they are poor in quality. It will not take you that far in life. I have been successfully writing articles on various topics.I just use my mind.

    You know.... a thousand monkeys on a typewriter, typing non-stop for 1 year will eventually re-write William Shakspear's Hamlet.

    You might want to try that out. Just a thought. :p
