First let me say I have searched the forums before creating this thread and I couldn't find the answer I wanted. I would like some general information and reviews of Article post robot, such as how much traffic does it generally bring back to your site after submitting articles? how many articles should you submit? and how many websites should you register at? should you do all 500+(technically less since not all require registration) or can you stick to around 50? will there be much of a difference if you submit to just a few website? Success stories are welcomed. For the record I have already purchased the software and just need some general feedback so I can sleep knowing it was a good investment.
If you're looking to do it for just a SEO standpoint, you're better off submitting your articles to only one or two each, any more won't do anything. If you want some quick traffic, go for all 500+, theres no real reason to hold back.
I am aiming for quick consistent traffic. I'm trying to figure out how many articles will need to be submitted to bring a certain amount of traffic. I would love to hear any stats that you or anyone else can provide based on your usage. When it comes to SEO these days PR bounces up and down so much that it often becomes pointless unless your planning to keep the site for the long term.
Hey nicerolex, I have no first-hand experience with "Article Post Robot" so I can't affirm your incredibly intelligent decision <grin> but I can give you some sound advice in regards to Article Marketing. While there are a handful of really important article directories to submit to it's incorrect to think that submitting to a large number of outlets won't improve your site's traffic and SEO. Want proof? Search on Google.com for this phrase... "Affiliate Marketing Tips - Creative Strategies For Affiliate Marketing Success" This is a recent article I wrote and submitted (I use the web-based service at ArticleMarketer.com) I submit the article to ArticleMarketer.com in about five minutes time and they submit to more than 600 outlets on my behalf without me having to do any more work. The results? If you searched Google you will find that the article I told you about has been indexed 173 times! That's 173 quality links and traffic from one article. If you only submit to a few directories you can expect much less! True, other publishers will pick up your articles and some will even keep your links live (LOL) but you'll be hard-pressed to get 173 backlinks from one article if you only post to a couple of directories. Hope this helps!
May I ask what kind of cost is associated with ArticleMarketer? Do you pay per submission? and if thats the case then isn't that problematic if your submitting for multiple sites?
I'm pretty sure they have more than one option but I paid $200 for two full years of service. Unlike some other web-based options, there is no ceiling on how many articles you can submit. Submit one a week or 1,000 for the same price. There service is really awesome but I'm not a fan of their customer service. It took me a good week to figure out how to operate efficiently in their space but once I figured it out it's as easy as pie. As for the price, it's a great value for anyone who submits articles routinely. Try paying your niece $3 an hour to submit to 600+ directories and see how much that costs... <LOL> I created a free instruction PDF and video on how I use Article Marketer for my customers/subscribers. You can find it at: articledomination.com/ArticleMarketer.html As to your previous question... I doubt you're really concerned with your PR... What you really want is targeted visitors (and a bunch of them) to come to your site, right? If this is the case, then it's a matter of writing really good articles (both in the content sense and ones that are properly optimized) so that you get readers to see you as the authority you are and visit your site/blog for more information.
Correct I could careless about the PR, I mean if it gets a rank over the course of its existence then thats great however as a web developer I make my money from quickly establishing communities and then selling them off within 2-3 months after monetizing them and generating stable traffic. PR is incredible overrated these days and people end up losing big because they waste money either creating sites with High PR or buying sites with High PR only to lose it months later. Thanks for all the good advice, I wish I had heard about that service before I purchased the Auto Robot however its spilt milk. I will try to make the best of the Auto Robot and if It proves to be too difficult to use I will then migrate over to your software. I wish you could give me some traffic stats based on the articles you have submitted with them but I am very please with all the info you have provided so far. Many Many thanks.
I purchased it now I don't use it at all, my reason....... I loved it! But, it made you use IE instead of Firefox, and it made you turn off a security setting in IE, or else it would NOT work...... this caused me to get trojan viruses on my system almost everytime I used it, so sadly I do not use Article Post Robot, even after paying for the full version. It's a great program, but the threats to my system from it were not worth it at all. The program would open a window with the site it was submitting your article to, if this site had a trojan horse, boom..... the security being off in IE in order to use Article Post Robot, you also had to have 'Microsoft .Net' installed on your system in order to use it........ Now if I submit an article, I send it to 10 of what I call the top sites manually then I use ISnares submission service for the hundreds of small sites......
I have written my take on article post robot as well as other article submission software and service. I use this nifty tool everyday and I have experience in using other article submission services like Article Marketer, JetSubmitter, Article Submitter and so on. The results: more than 240,000 page views and tens of thousand dollar of sales. Read this thread for my comments. "Article Submission Software"
nicerolex, I've recently heard of a free online submission service you may want to check out. I have no experience with them so this is in no way an endorsement but hey, it can hurt to look... Check out ArticleSender.com
ArticleSender sends your articles to more than 20 article directories but the effect is pretty minimal. You can do better with article submission services.
homebizbuilder, Thanks for the tip! I use ArticleMarketer.com personally but I will pass along your insight to my customers/subscribers. BTW... I read some of your posts in the other thread you listed. I'd be willing to bet you already had an account opened with Ezinearticles.com before starting your ArticleMarketer.com account. Unless the two usernames and passwords are exactly the same, Ezinearticles.com will not publish the articles sent by ArticleMarketer.com I had the same problem and it didn't get fixed until I emailed Ezinearticle's support and had them change my user/pswd to match the one I used for Article Marketer.
That is incredible impressive, you mentioned tens and thousands of dollars in sales which leaves me thinking this thing may seriously turn things around for me. I am currently working on developing Dating software so it may very well turn out to be a good financial investment in addition to boosting traffic to my other web projects. So freggin sweet. I do have one question however, for all your sites you create a blog that runs on subdirectory of your domain, you then direct that traffic to your main site correct? Thats the method I was intending to use please let me know if its correct.
I use blogs mainly as my sales machines. I do not have many websites. In fact, content management using blogs are the easiest with WP or Blogger as formatting is dummy proof. Also, search engines love blogs and when optimized properly for your keywords, you get good rankings over time. Use article marketing to channel your visitors to the correct sales funnels. Read my free report on how to create powerful sales funnels. The beauty of article marketing combined with sales funnels are that your visitors are pre-sold on your "sales recommendation" and when they come to your "sales funnels", they are persuaded to buy from you. Article marketing is a long term strategy and will work for years to come because the search engines exist for content and information. I have seen how article marketing has given me a growing income and increasing traffic. I first caught on this when the very 1st article i wrote was ranked No.1 in Google among 100,000,000 (100 million) search results! That showed me the power. In fact, I am getting so excited talking about this. I am planning to release a ebook next year detailing all the strategies of making articles and content build an income empire for you. Stay tuned!
No, you don't need turn off security setting in IE. you only need set your firewall allow article post robot running. Also, in V1.6, article post robot has a method to detect possible virus on the site. If there is a possible thread, article post robot will skip the site. so, basically, I would say it is ok to use article post robot without worry about the virus. of course, you should always have anti-virus installed. article post robot is not an anti-virus software. temp
