Looking through the feedback on this forum, it seems isnare have been performing pretty badly..two things: 1 - Can I just check with the folks still using Isnare if bad /slow customer service is still an issue they are facing (ie long time for article approval and submissions) 2 - What other article submission services are you using that are similar to isnare in terms of coverage and good quality. Thanks
ISnare is still very slow to approve articles but they do seem to be getting around to it now... It takes them a few weeks. I've seen pretty good results from ISnare in my article marketing tests. ISnare is the only service I'm using that's really like that... the others I use (Article Marketing Automation, ArticleRanks, & Unique Article Wizard) use "spinning" and the articles go up on different types of sites. One thing I really like about ISnare is that often the articles themselves actually rank in the search engines so I can get some direct traffic.
EZA does the same...it actually ranks pretty highly (depending on the niche) and sometimes ranks higher than my site - so I get direct traffic from EZA as well. GoArticles is another one.
Last month's article I submitted to Isnare took a couple weeks to get published. I just submitted another article and it is marked for distribution. I guess time will tell.
Yes... but that's the main reason for doing EZA, with ISnare it's just a side benefit. I don't look at EZA and the like as article marketing really. I know that may sound crazy... but I look at EZA as a landing page just like hubpages or something like that because the articles end up on other people's websites so rarely that it's not much of a link building method.
Are you going for backlinks or traffic? I usually go with EZA first. After they've approved my article, I submit it to Buzzle, Goarticles and article dashboard, as they seem to be the only article directories that actually drive traffic.
I had heard so many good things about Isnare back in the early summer that I signed up, paid them for expanded distribution- and submitted 8 articles. Well then later this summer the bottom dropped out, many here and elsewhere were not getting their articles published and I found that I was unable to log in to my account. So I kept trying, trying and finally I sent them three emails through their online support. No response. Now I got hacked off as they had 8 of my articles, nearly 100.00 of my money and they would not respond. So I called my credit card company after the first 3 emails and they suggested I contact C20 or whatever their credit processing company is- very polite, professional and direct. They said they would send a message to Isnare and if I did not hear from them in 2 days to get back to them. Well I waited 10 days and now I am going to have to charge them back and post bad thinhgs about them wherever it comes up. As a merchant I am slow to dump on businesses but you all will agree, what took me so long? I would not recommend Isnare as my experience has been long and totally uncalled for. This is not just delay of printing my articles. They were submitted in late May of 2009. Don't say you werent warned. I have not rushed into judgement, no I don't work for anyone but myself and I am afraid the problems they are having are either beyond salvation or I just fell through the cracks. This is from my personal experience and I would simply love to get my money and articles back. Oh I should mention I cannot log into my account after the crash they had a couple of months ago. If I did something wrong or there is some explanation for their holding my money- not publishing my articles or whatever you have to agree they owe me an explanation and my money and articles back. I don't really like to bitch but geez I have been very patient. If anyone here knows a better way of getting their attention besides their credit card processor and 5 lengthy emails, 2 more since contacting my credit card processor-PayPal- please let me know as I want my stuff, not to sit here writing this down. I use ezine, goarticles and buzzle and they have all resulted in some publications on others sites and some traffic. For obvious reasons I don't know about Isnare but I would highly recommend ezine, buzzle and goarticles. as they have been very responsive although ezine does take a while to get articles printed but not really too bad. Buzzle takes a couple of days and goarticles go live within a day.
Agreed, i am facing the same problem like you i seek the online assist form C20 (they are very good and effective) and get refund from isnare.
It seems isnare is definitle not the way to go..will be trying out the others mentioned above!! Cheers all
As slow as ISnare is, I still think it's a valuable service - you just have to be patient. I use it in conjunction with a lot of other things so it doesn't bother me too much that it takes a month for my articles to go live.
I submitted an article to Isnare 20 days ago and it has just been published. So it's still worth using them, if you have the patience to wait for your article to get published. If you're heavily into article writing, waiting is not really an issue - I just submit and forget for the most part because I've reached that part of the cycle where a new article is always being published on a daily basis.
ISnare are thiefs, who sold the credits and then "due to technical issues" lost them and never replied. Just junk publishing same articles on their own network thus creating lots of duplicate articles which will be ignored by search engine, and that's if you're lucky and they don't SCAM you. Ezine and GoArticles will add much more value, but again not a lot.
If you want to publish unique content similar to ezinearticles, try dropping them on http://www.infobarrel.com Just make sure they are not duplicate to ensure they get published.
I joined isnare.com about a month ago and purchased $10.34 in "distribution credits". I submitted my first article at that time. It has yet to even be reviewed and despite repeated emails sent to their team asking when I can expect to have my article either reviewed OR distributed, I have not received even a single response. I think it's a scam and will not be submitted any more articles to them.
isnare is too much slow, i have no good experience with that service. EZA is best and working well for many of the Article Marketers.
