Default What do you use for Article Submission?

O.k. I decided to ask tis question as I've used a few differrent options. To start off I've used Article Submission Pro but I'm finding it a pain as it seems to take 10 mins to submit one article after formatting the article, dong the bio, etc. So now I'm trying aticle marketer , first with the partial list to see how good it is. But it just has me wondering what other people who are successful at it use coz I doubt they are spending 10 mins by 250 sites everytime they want to syndicate a new article.

I use Instant Article Wizzard 2. Not bad, although not designed for mass submissions. Then again, I only submit to handful of sites.

Have you ever used any article submission sites? I've seen several that advertise "hand submission" :P for your articles.

Default Re: What do you use for Article Submission?

As my article manager, submitter, and tracker I use Article Architect ($49). Good tool, not perfect, but worth the money. Submission is not automatic, but for a handful of directories, it works fine. It will store your account log in info, your bio, and it tracks articles submitted to each directory. It's good for low volume article campaigns.

It has a research feature but I don't use it.

For research of articles and content I use Instant Article Wizard 2 ($67). This tool is a hit and miss. On some topics in retrieves plenty of good data, on others it's junk. It's not really necessary for writing good articles, but at times it can be helpful.

For creating variations of articles (same topic, similar article, different directories) I use Dupe Free Pro. It's a free download. Time consuming but helpful and useful to alter your article content enough to pass the redundant content filters on search engines.

I have played with Article Jet Spinner (free). You put in synonyms of certain words in your article and Jet Spinner creates variations of a single article. I found the tool too clumsy. The writing process was just as long as if I use Dupe Free Pro. But you can check it out - it's free. They also offer Submitter as a paid service, but I have never used it.

Hope this helps.

250 sites?

Do they list these sites? It would be interesting to see were they are sending your articles and if the sites are worth any value.

Well I have 250 sites setup on my article submission software but I've never actually used them all. Article Marketer say they submit to over 2000 article sites. The list of sites can be found here : http://www.articlemarketer.com/p_distrolist.php

schapman, it takes me about 2 hours to write, edit and submit an article.

Your mileage may vary, but I found that submitting to more than 10 sites was not any more effective in terms of results.
