Article Submission Services: How To Find A Good One

By Steve Shaw in Featured

So, you’ve finally made the decision to make your life easier by employing the services of an automatic article submitter. That is a very wise decision, because if you choose the right service you can save a ton of time and vastly increase the effectiveness of your articles.

When you’re evaluating article submission services, keep these tips in mind:

1 - A referral from someone who has actually used the service is your best bet in finding an excellent article submission service.

If you haven’t been referred by anyone, check the website of the article submitter you’re investigating and look for testimonials. If the service is good, its customers should readily volunteer their recommendations for it.

2 – Look for a service that has stood the test of time. In the online world, a service that is 5+ years old is a veteran one, and the longevity of the service speaks to its stability.

3 – Is it known for its customer service?

When you need help, you want to know that you can get timely and accurate answers. When considering a friend’s referral or testimonials that you are reading about the article submitter, is the business’ customer care complimented?

4 – You will want to use an article distribution business that has professional editors on staff who review each and every article.

Why? You want your article to be pre-screened for any obvious issues that might prevent it from being accepted by publishers.

5 – Does the service update their distribution network on pretty much a daily basis?

The distribution network is the list of publishers to whom your articles are sent. Having a well-maintained list is crucial, as these types of lists can go out of date pretty quickly if they are not attended to regularly.

It’s a perk if the service has a good reputation with publishers. If the publishers directly request to receive articles from the article submitter, then they are much more likely to approve your articles for publication.

6 – How many article submission are you allowed?

The most flexible option would be unlimited submissions, although I must caution you that when you are submitting automatically you need to submit far fewer articles than when submitting manually. Usually 8 articles per website is enough when submitting automatically to a large network of publishers.

7 – How about scheduling your articles?

This type of feature allows you to submit your article and then have it be distributed at a later date. This is particularly helpful if you are going on vacation and want your article marketing campaign to continue when you are away. Many people also like to submit all their articles at the beginning of the month and schedule them to be distributed at various dates throughout the month.

8 – Can you “trickle” your article distribution?

Normally when you submit through an automatic article submitter your article would be sent to the entire distribution network all at one time. However, there are SEO benefits to having your article submitted to a few publishers a day, perhaps over the course of a month or so.
This creates a more organic accumulation of links, which Google appreciates. Check to see if the service you are interested in will allow you to submit in this “trickled”
fashion.

9 – What kind of article spinning features are available?

It’s great if a service allows you to create article variations so that the same article is not sent to every publisher.

10 – Is the article submitter committed to ongoing education?

Most article submission services concentrate on the technical aspects of article distribution, rather than on teaching their customers how to improve their article marketing. If you find a service that offers ongoing training, that is a plus!

It may take you a while to find the article submitter that works for your unique needs, but it’s worth the time and effort to do this investigating. The more information you can gather about the service beforehand, the more likely you are to be satisfied.

How To Kick-Start Your Article Marketing Strategy Into High Gear

By B Hopkins in Featured

Have you realized the importance of article marketing and know you need to create articles to begin your article marketing efforts? I have surveyed hundreds of people and for those of them that feel there is a barrier to their article marketing efforts, it usually comes down to not knowing what to write about, not knowing how to write an article, not having the time and not liking the whole article writing process to begin with. If you know article marketing is going to be very powerful for you and you know that you may have some trouble starting it for yourself because it is too overwhelming to even go there, you can begin by buying unique articles. I’m not talking about buying the same private label articles that hundreds of people have already purchased before. If you are going to use private label articles, using them to drive traffic to your website, will be a waste of money because chances are, that same article is already out there 1000 times over and you won’t be getting much response from them. Private label articles have their uses, but driving traffic to your website by submitting them all over the Internet is not one of those uses.

The kinds of articles you want to buy are unique articles that are written to connect with your target audience, and have the proper keyword phrases in them. When you use your own unique articles to promote your product or service, you are saying to the world that you value and take the time to serve your clients and customers. Most communication isn’t about what you SAY; it is about what you DO. It is important to serve your clients and customers from your heart, instead of just giving them anything anyone else can give them because all you are interested in is getting their dollars. Marketing your business with unique articles is a good way to show them you care about serving your target market.

You can get your articles from a number of different sources, and each source will have different plusses and minuses and well as different levels of expenses.

1. You can hire a writer directly from a writer’s guild to write your articles. This will probably be the most expensive way to go. You can be pretty sure that you will get a quality product, but it may or may not be written to get the best response from the Internet in terms of article marketing.
2. You can hire a writer from an online bidding place such as Scriptlance. You are taking somewhat of a gamble here as you can end up with someone writing your articles who doesn’t speak your language well enough to write articles in your language. In order to avoid this problem, you really have to understand how to word your article writing project and be very specific on the quality standards. One thing would be to have them write a sample article and indicate that the person who wrote the sample article is the one who
3. You can use an online article writing service. These online writing services screen their writers so you can be pretty sure you are getting someone who will write a well written article in the language you require. The more established online writing services have also had time to screen their authors for the quality of their writing (following the instructions from the article requester, creating original content and not just a copy and paste job).

Buying articles is a quick way to begin your article marketing efforts. There are a number of ways to buy your articles, but the most effective way that gives you quality articles at a reasonable price is to use an online article writing service that you or an employee would use. There are a few of them online that charge a reasonable price. Go online and see what is available, or read some reviews on the various article services.
