    Thanks to the feedback I got from the previous thread, I decided to make the plugin available to everyone.
    The plugin will allow you to post any of the free articles on articletrader.com to your blog with just a few clicks.

    Let me know what you think.

    Has there been any change in the code since the last beta?

    Only superficial changes (smaller code, better error reporting)
    You dont need to upgrade from the last beta.

    Dejavu - this is brilliant. I missed any previous discussions. Are you seeing the tool used a great deal yet? Very nice - I am thinking about this from an article writer's perspective. Now I am motivated to write some articles!

    I'm just wondering..this plugin will just create a lot of duplicate content on the internet -- what exactly is the point of that?

    FSMedia,

    While that is true, article directories do exist, and their entire raison d'etre is for people to republish the articles. This is just a tool for facilitating that. (and it works quite well).

    The primary benefit goes to the authors, secondarily (of course) to the Directory owner, and also, some would say, the benefit to the reader is that if an article has greater exposure, it is easier to find.

    Not that I'm advocating either way (I'm agnostic on the issue) but I do have one site I use republished content on. We'll see what happens.

    Thanks Mister Tut, I was just about to say that.
    The main reason people submit these articles, it the hope that it will get picked up by other sites. This tool just helps with that, and if anything, it will hopefully encourage people to write quality articles (no-one will republish junk)

    The artilce might not be unique, but it can still be very relevant to your site, and very usefull for the visitors (and Google)
    eg. if you have a site about dogs, it makes sense to publish an article about 'teach your dog to stay'. People visiting your site might be much more interested to read it and it will be more valuable to you than say people visiting my article directory.

    Thanks for the comment. I only made this available yesterday so it is really too soon to tell. So far about 40 people downloaded the plugin, but I dont know how many used it.
