Article Submission Service Reviews


There are different ways in which you can submit your articles to the article directories:

  • Manually
  • Through online services
  • Through stand-alone submission software tools
If you have decided to use articles as a method of marketing your products, services or your website and blog, you will soon learn how tedious it is to submit and/or to spin additional articles. 

Below, you will find different article submission services, each offers something different for the user. Depending on what you want and need, you will see a sampling of both, online submission services and stand-alone submission software that will help you to distribute your content, and in some cases, help you to spin your article to prevent duplication in the other article directories.



Magic Article Submitter-Magic RewriterMagic Article Submitter/Magic Article Rewriter

Magic Article Submitter/Magic Article Rewriter is a stand-alone software package. It can be bought bundled, or you can purchase either the article submitter or article rewriter separately. 


Magic Article Submitter
Magic Article Submitter is a stand-alone or it can work with the Magic Article Rewriter. The database contains 700 article directories in which you can submit too. This is how it works.


How It Works

The Submitter comes pre-installed with over 700 article directories. To start the process you need to enter your profile information (this is the information you need to use to create accounts on each directory). This will take several minutes for the program to create the accounts.

The program guides you through the whole process of putting your articles in the system-
this includes entering the article title, article summary, article text, keywords and your resource box..

Once you have entered  the necessary article information, you will need to select the categories that you want your article to be included into within the article directories.

The last step, is to indicate whether you want to "drip feed" your articles or have them submitted all at once. My advice, go with the slow drip.

The software will display the progress of each submission. There's also a nice function for 
checking the publish status of each article so you know when it's been accepted.

Pro
The Magic Article Submitter has over 700 directories which you can distribute your articles too. But it also has one additional feature, it allows you to add to your list.

The "drip feed" submission feature allows you to submit your article over a period of time, instead of dumping your articles into the directories at once.


Cons
1. I noticed that not all the directories accepted my application for membership. But, then again, getting close to 600 into the directories was still good. I have to assume that my article did not meet their categories. Anyway, this took about 5 minutes to complete.
2. The submitter does not submit your articles to high PR article directories. Most of the directories are "Article Dashboard" style directories only.
3. Need to be careful where you are sending your article. Niche specific.


Magic Rewriter

Okay, I've been trying to find an article rewriter that had certain criteria that I wanted met. There were: 1) Produce readable articles; 2) Easy to use; 3) Control over the word and phrases used in the rewrite; 4) Didn't cost me an arm and a leg.

With those four elements to consider, I found that Magic Rewriter came the closest to my needs. Here is what it does.

How It Works
You are able to draw upon a synonym database of over 30,000 words to help speed your rewrite. (You don't have to only rely on your own vocabulary base. If you're planning on putting your articles in a lot of directories, this can be tedious and impossible, if you want unique articles).

Yes, you have to manually choose the words. This is how it works. The software will highlight a word or group of words and on each selection you will see the software has inserted the spin tags [spin]/[spin]" for you. It is your choice as to which tag to use.

Once you have completed going through each word, you either spin the article once to have your new article fully re-written or you can spin the article, selecting how many times you want this spun.

If you spin one article many times, the program saves the spun, unique, non-duplicate content article to a folder you created.

Bottom line, the program offers you a unique way to have 100% unique articles that you can submit to article directories, post to your blog, etc.

Pros:

The software will let you:

1. Rewrite articles
2. Have control over your words, sentences, and structure of your words
3. Spin anchor text in your articles
4. Spin urls to your home page or any other web page on your site
5. Spin whole sentences
6. Allow you to add your own words and synonyms to your database
7. Works directly from your laptop or desktop
8. Full copy and paste function
9. Cost is reasonable. 


Cons

1. The user guide tell you more with what the Magic Article Rewriter can do, but didn't  do a good job at how it was done.
2. As with any rewriter, you need to make sure sentences, titles, etc are unique. The one positive I can give to a rewriter is that is expands your vocabulary - but you still need to do the work if you want the content to be readable.

Some like the article submitter, others do not. There are more positive comments about the article rewriter than the submitter.


Content Crooner 

Content Crooner is a simple web application that will distribute your content to
thousands of publishers, bloggers and site owners in minutes. You just enter your content
into the article submission form and they will distribute it.

Your account page allows you to:
1. Create pen name besides just your regular name
2. View full list of articles you previously submitted
3. View distribution and exposure reports to see exactly where your articles have been used.
4. View or change dates when your article are to be distributed
5. Ability to tweet your articles

Article Submission

The article submission process is simple. You just need to click the "Submit Content" button and follow the instructions. 

You have a choice of 360 different categories from which you can choose to place your article for distribution, and, you have the option of placing your article into three different categories. However, be aware that the Crooner editorial staff does check to make sure your articles fit the categories you choose.

Your articles are not only reviewed by machine, but also by a live reviewer. In either case, they can help you find issues that may prevent you from having your article published.

Once the articles pass Content Crooner editorial staff's review, your articles will be distributed slowly over the course of several weeks and months. This is a nice feature. You really don't want all your articles dumped into a directory at once. This slow trickle, increases your credibility and help you to regulate your articles over time, and it eliminates a red flag to Google.


Pricing

Content Crooner has three different pricing options that you can choose from:

1) Monthly
2) Annual
3) Lifetime

For every article you submit to Content Crooner you can include a resource box with up to 3
separate links. Even though this is an option they offer, be aware that many article directories will only allow 2 links in your resource box.


Con:
If money is tight for you, you may shutter at the price. It's not cheap. 

Pro:
You have nice checks and balances with Content Crooner. And it does put your articles on auto-pilot.


ISnare Article Distribution 

ISnare is a fee-based article directory that will submit your article to a network of over 40,000 publishers and website owners. ISnare has a different twist to their article distribution that I found interesting. So, let's start with their pricing.

Pricing
ISnare offers a different method of having you pay. They call it "distribution credits". You have the option of submitting and distributing an article by upgrading to Platinum and paying a monthly fee or buying distribution credits.


Purchasing Through Credits-
 The distribution credits can be bought or you can take advantage of their referral program. Below is the costs per number of articles:

$10    5 Article Distribution Credits (distribute 5 articles at $2/article)
$18   10 (+2 bonus) Article Distribution Credits (distribute 12 articles at $1.5/article)
$38   25 (+4 bonus) Article Distribution Credits (distribute 29 articles at $1.31/article)
$49   40 (+8 bonus) Article Distribution Credits (distribute 48 articles at $1.02/article)
$71   65 (+12 bonus) Article Distribution Credits (distribute 77 articles at $0.92/article)
$100 100 (+20 bonus) Article Distribution Credits (distribute 120 articles at $0.83/article)
Platinum Distribute 300 articles per month with lots of benefits for $59.95/mo. recurring.

If you are low on cash you can take advantage of their referral program. Under the referral plan you simply have to refer an individual, and if the individual purchases  any of the credits, you earn credits toward article submission.

ISnare distribution credits is a good alternative if you don't write many articles during the month, but still want a method of getting your articles out to the masses without killing your budget.

ISnare has been in operation since late 2004. 


Pro
1. Free to submit your articles (only 5 a day)
2. Free way to distribute your own articles (Through their referral program)
3. Wide variety of categories.

Cons
1. Free level article submission takes up to a week to approve an article for submission to their directory.

2. Platinum membership for distribution costs $59.95 per month. Ouch!



SubmitYourArticle.com 

SubmitYourArticle.com is an article submission service that distributes 8 articles per month to thousands of publishers and article directories. 

Article leverage is also offered, this service lets you re-write parts of your article, so that every directory gets a unique version of your article.

Here's how article leverage works.

You login to your account, you complete the article submission form. This is where you enter your title, the article, your keywords, and your resource box.

Once you've completed this section, you just click okay to save it. You'll see (just like the free directories) that you can edit, publish or delete your article. If you select publish, you have two options to choose from: 1) normal article submission; or 2) article leverage option.

If you choose article leverage you will have the opportunity to edit some selected sentences in your article, add a new headline and/or resource boxes. Once you have finished these steps, you are ready to submit your article.

The articles are submitted to:

1. Double-opt-in email publisher list
2. Article directories
3. Niche blogs
4. Article announcement lists


Pro
1. Saves time
2. Reaches a huge audience

Con
1. Offer article leverage, but in my opinion, one sentence or a new title is not going to fool the search engines in assuming that it is not duplicate content.
2. Have to be an active member to maintain $47 monthly charge for the services rendered


As you can see, there are different methods in which you can submit your articles to the article directories. It's all dependent upon what your "need" or "want" is in getting the job done quickly and efficiently.
