hey all, first, I am no way affiliated with this software, and also I cannot be becuase I dont have paypal account (country not listed).. Anyways, I am writing this becuase it may be useful to someone in some way.. I have been reading the forums and stuff about "writing articles", most of the people said a lot of good things, they got backlinks, they got traffic etc, so I thought I should give it a try.. I search google and found a software instant article submitter, honestly from the page (first impression) it looked like a scam site, thats why I asked them if they had a 2checkout.com account, so that I can pay, I thought if it was a scam then I can get my money back through 2checkout.com, always be safe good idea.. bad things about this software.. 1. when I purchased, I was unable to unlock it, they are using some other site for verification, and it was frustrating becuase each time I tried I failed, then I contacted them, and got the reply about after 6-8 hours or so, and they suggested me to make changes in windows registry manually, and it worked.. 2. It had about 208 directories listed, and I had to manually approve all those directories for my new account, becuase those directories sent me "confirmation email" for my account, and I had about 150-200 emails in my inbox for validation, this part was really frustrating and time consuming, it took me hours to open each mail and validate.. anyways I did all that.. 3. In some directories I got "half of" my article, for example I posted 10 tips, but on some of the sites the article was broken and only 2 tips were published, so it means there might be some error which my article was not published correctly, not sure if it was an error on the submitter end or may the article directory.. 4. I purchased it for $97 and after registering on many sites, after two days I got an offer for the same software for $75 and after a week or so $50, lolss, it was quite funny, I thought I lost $50.. ha now I tested this software for posting only 1 article, and also checked the statistics about my article, here are the stats until today.. I posted an article and here are teh searc hengines results.. ========================================================== Article : "top 10 tips to make search engine friendly pages" ========================================================== this article was sent through software I purchased. Google Results May 9,2006 : 0 results May 17, 2006 : 151 results May 19, 2006 : 182 results May 26, 2006 : 202 results May 31, 2006 : 196 results June 8, 2006 : 144 results July 17, 2006 : 322 results Yahoo Results May 17, 2006 : 133 results May 19, 2006 : 538 results May 26, 2006 : 981 results May 31, 2006 : 1,580 results June 8,2006 : 1,720 July 17, 2006 : 1,550 MSN Results May 17, 2006 : 140 results May 19, 2006 : 141 results May 26, 2006 : 208 results May 31, 2006 : 208 results June 8,2006 : 206 results July 17, 2006 : 159 results I tried to keep track and see how all this works, but still when I check my backlinks, there are about 10 or so, lols, so I think these are published on different website as RSS and link to one directory, not sure why I didnt get much backlinks. Overall, I think its a good idea to purchase any software if you want to save time.. if anyone else has used any other good software / service for submitting article quickly, please do post the links, it may help me and other a lot. hope this may help anyone..
I'm into article marketing, would you say after your review that the product was worth it? What is the program?
Honestly, I bought this software and thought I would have time to write articles or I will hire someone, but I didnt get time to work on "article marketing", but I hope next month or so I wil have some spare time, I will test this software again with some articles.. as I mentioned I have only tested it with one article, and I think its worth using it, becuase it saves a lot of time once you have done the donkey work "account validation process", but buy it where they are selling it for $50 rather than paying $97, as I paid.. regards
