If you are a writer online, you will be using article submission services. Investigate which ones are the best ones to use for your purposes. At least this is true from an economical standpoint. It also seems true from the perspective of efficiency. Why put a lot of time and effort into an article that will get lousy distribution or supremely slow dispersal? Check out which ones are the best. This is an annotated list of popular and well recognized article submission services. There is no special order to the list but it includes these services: ISnare, My Article Network, Submit Your Article, Spin Distribute, Unique Article Wizard, Send Articles.com, My Way Links, Fast Submit Articles.com, 1waylinks.com, SEO Content Writers, and ArticleSubmissionServices.com.
ARTICLE SUBMISSION SERVICES.com has a sales page with typos and grammar mistakes. No thanks. I don’t plan to have them submit articles for me either. Their cost is not a deal. I can get better results for less. Cost - $20 to write one article and submit to 100 directories is not efficient. At FAST SUBMIT ARTICLES they write and submit one article to 352 directories for you for $30.00! That is not bad but it is expensive unless you wrote the article yourself and have them distribute it for $6.00. EzineArticles and several other highly regarded directories are included. No free submissions allowed.
ISNARE sends one copy of your 500 word article out to hundreds of webmasters. They are careful about preventing cross-posting the same article to multiple directories. The difference between paid Platinum membership level ($59.95/month) and the free service is substantial. There are many additional perks for paid members. ISnare will give free members some traffic and a decent amount of backlinks. On another company, if you want a team of dedicated witers working on your project, take a look at SEO CONTENT WRITERS. Their site is professional in appearance and expensive. That and their site statistics suggest they are delivering good service. No free submissions are available.
SUBMIT YOUR ARTICLE is better than ISnare. It submits to EzineArticles and other high quality directories for you. It applies an advanced Article Leverage technology to enhance your listings. Cost. $37.00/month. Another network type of sites service is SPIN DISTRIBUTE. You get links from other sites in the network AND from other sources, like directories. They also offer to write, spin, submit, and syndicate 10 articles/month for $89.00/month, and that is a real value. There are smaller packages but no free ones.
MY WAY LINKS is like a closed-door membership site/service whereby you’ll only get links from quality sites. The network is small compared to what My Article Network and Unique Article Wizard have for network size. Cost. $7 first month. $47.00/month. On the other hand, UNIQUE ARTICLE WIZARD offers blog, html sites, and an article directories network. You WILL get hundreds or even thousands of backlinks per article here, plus a decent amount of referral traffic. It is worth every penny of its $67/month cost.
Article Marketing Automation, also known as MY ARTICLE NETWORK is a blog network that is roughly 10k-20k sites in size. This kind of distribution of original articles is great for backlinks and referral traffic. The current cost is $47/month. No free membership levels are available beyond a short trial. SEND ARTICLES.COM has a really brief sales page. SendArticles.com sends your articles to only 100 article directories. Don’t forget a link from an article directory is only ONE type of backlink, and you want to have a variance of backlink styles for a well-rounded link building campaign. Cost for 1 article/month is $30. There is no free level of participation.
1 WAY LINKS is another network of blogs with about 1500 blogs in the network. They started out strong and I was initially pleased with their results but the quality of the sites was not maintained, too many of them turned into link-farm type sites, thus rendering their links as ineffective. This was disappointing because it was easy to use and only cost $47/month. They had a good support forum too. I am not recommending it now though.
Even so, I have found that it is a lot less expensive and much more effective to apply your own leverage and your personal techniques to article marketing and submission. Mine is working well. By connecting with existing networks that are already waiting for your articles it will cost a lot less than these other services. What works best for me is to use either MY ARTICLE NETWORK ($47/month) with a new site, or UNIQUE ARTICLE WIZARD ($67/month) for solid power and reliability. Write your own articles or get some written where they have writers who specialize in preparing original content articles in UAW format. Use your time, money and talent wisely as you develop your own system.
