    I'd like some feedback on isnare as well please :)

    If I pay Isnare to submit articles, is it still worthwhile submitting to anybody else?

    I think the more places you will submit, the best result you will have (sorry for my english fellas :) )

    I mean even if an article site doesn't have traffic or pr, is a matter of luck if another webmaster will see it and grab it to his/her site.

    I've used ISnare, not a great deal of links were gained, but it was probably worth the money. I'd look for a solution that includes them amongs other article distribution networks also.

    You will get what you pay for. I think it works out (less than 10 articles) at $2 per article. It takes them (at the moment) approx 5-6 days to approve your articles ....... and in the meantime you can't edit or view what you have submitted :(

    Maybe this is just bad for me as I usually rattle the article off and then submit ASAP. Quite often I will think, did I do that right? When you can't edit/or see the article whilst "in the queue" I find this somewhat annoying.

    If you do need to change it you have to send an email, they get back to you within a day or two. You see that it was OK and resubmit it and have to wait another 5 days :eek:

    So my advice is check your article thoroughly before submitting.

    </rant>

    Anyhow I'm digressing, wrt your question - I seem to remember slowly seeing results within a couple of weeks and approx 120 odd backlinks within 6-8 weeks. I'd use them again and have done since my first couple of run-ins!

    Heres BETTER than using article submission......

    You have your site..................... http://www.url.com
    THEN, sign up for a blogger account.... http://url.blogspot.com

    Then, you design the blogger template to look exactly like your site (with nav and all), like a chameleon. (this means that there will be many links pointing to your main site from your blog)

    Instead of submitting the teaser articles to some other site, where they can earn ad revenue on YOUR work, add them to your blog! Then, use bloggers xml feed to "notify/ping" other services.

    Im doing this with a brand new domain (6 mos old, but just put online about 1.5 months ago) and thanks to this, I have 30 pages indexed, and rank top 10 for a few phrases. My links show up in other blog aggregator sites using the xml feed, and from these, I even get a few referrals a day.


    See this blending in action on my billiards site. on the homepage, click the "billiard blog" tab in the top nav to see the blogger site blended.

    If anyone has anything to add to this technique plez do.

    This is your fault. Why not spend a minute and make sure what you wrote is what you want?

    As for iSnare, I have used them often. Can't beat the price really. If you only get 10 links, that's 20 cents per link, which is not bad.

    Personally, I would never pay more than this for submission.

    If you want to do it for free, just spend 1 minute submitting to ezinearticles.com and goarticles.com. Both of these will get you some links.

    My friends have had good results with them, but you could also get article submitter pro or article announcer and then you can submit all you want for nothing (after their one time cost)

    Did you understand where my post was coming from MJ ? :rolleyes:

    I was merely pointing out the problems of making this "hasty mistake" to other users of iSnare .... in that a hasty decision can cost you around 7 days.

    The man power wasted for me to email iS, iS to respond and cancel the post, then me having to re-submit could have been alleviated with a simple edit button. You don't even get a change to view the article that you have posted after committing.

    Anyhow, I think we've covered this quirk in the iS system sufficiently for me to grab a beer. ;)

    Cheers

    Why would you pay for this service when so many other websites offer the same service for free? In my experience the other services actually result in more links, for less money.

    Article-Submitter.com is another service...

    Just to be fair, the 7 days you were talking about for isnare is I think temporary and now they have been submitting and distributing articles for like 72 hours? Well that's what I heard.

    Anyway, check article-submitter.com this is another submission service which you wanted to know.

    I do not agree. you should submit your articles only for people and for bots. BUT not for other webmasters.

    I'm quite interested in trying this technique, but am a novice in the world of blogs. Can you elaborate more on what is involved in notifying/pinging other services about your content?
