Top 5 - Article Marketing Tools
Keep reading for more of the Top Article Marketing Tools…
There are 2 ways to successfully use article marketing and you need to have a strategy for each option. Internet marketers fail because they don’t grasp the difference and use one technique for both.
Here are the 2 strategies and how to approach each one:
- Gain Quality Backlinks
This requires submitting unique content to the major Article Directories like EzineArticles.com, Go.Articles.com etc and ones with a high page rank. Although you want to use EzineArticles, the trick is to be random with everything you do so mix it up. You also want to mix up your links to home page and internal pages… and alter the anchor text ie. use website address, keywords, LSI keywords etc. For recognized backlinks you want to keep your content 100% unique when Google first sees it… that’s the key “when Google first sees it”. After Google indexes it and sees traffic going to it you can then reuse the article by spinning it and using on less important sites and/or mass submitting it for traffic.
It is up to you as to how “unique” you want to be… the minimum you want to change an indexed article/blog post/web content is 30% so rewrite the 1st paragraph, last paragraph and change some wording in the other paragraphs. You can use Article Spinning software to help with this by rewriting once and turning into 10 to hundreds of unique articles (see below)
TIP: Publish unique content on your site first or premium Article Directories. Once it has been indexed by Google and they see some traffic and links going to it, spin it and publish in article directories.
TIP: EzineArticles.com has quite strict guidelines… and that’s why Google loves them! They won’t accept a lot of spun content so you need high quality, original content for them but it is definitely worth it.
- For Traffic
When you are using Article submissions for traffic you want to submit to as many directories as you can. You are not concerned with duplicate content as you are not wanting links so mass submit your article to as many directories as possible. An automated article submitter save you a lot of time (see below)
TIP: Although you are mass submitting you still want to use high quality content to encourage click & therefore traffic… if your article isn’t very good who is going to click on the link to your site to read more?
Top Article Directories
More Options
There are services available now where you submit your articles which get distributed to publishers who accept content on their site. They get put on themed related sites so the article and link is relevant. These are great for backlinks and show a variety of links as opposed to just the normal social bookmarking, article directories and video sites. You can’t control where they go so you have no control over the Page Rank or quality of the site so it is not a use alone strategy though it is a great additional one. One last point is that you can become one of the blogs that accept articles… free unique content!
- Firepow 2.0 – Besides posting content to blog network it also: sets up SEO wordpress blogs & auto content and accepts unique content from other members, backlinking, social bookmarking, all run from admin interface… powerful stuff! They have a $1 for 14 Trial >> Click Here For $1 Trial
- Unique Article Wizard - Posts to blog network. Also has: submit to article directories, videos, audio and pictures, spinning ability (though I am not 100% sure how this works. I will let you know when I sign up late Feb) and you can post articles to your own blogs controlling everything from one central point.
- Article Marketing Automation – A good service.
- Content Crooner – Submits to Article Directories and the Blog Network
- ArticleQast - though they use the same network as Unique Article Wizard & UAW has more features unless you get ArticleQast through StomperNet which is outstanding.
Article Directory Submitters
Article Directory Submitters automate the process for you as article submission is a very time consuming task. Some article submitters will automate 99% of the process, whilst others require you to do some work. There are many on the market so try to get one which also allows you to spin content and has the top article directories included.
Here are a few you can check out. I have not used any of these so I cannot comment or recommend, I just did some research in the Warrior Forum and these were the ones recommended:
- Unique Article Wizard – This is web based. It is a monthly subscription and has a Money Back Guarantee. It has an outsource article writing arm and a spinning capability. It submits to hundreds of article directories, ezines and over 10,000 blogs. It will post to your own blogs so you can manage all of your content from one area. It also manages video, pictures and audio. AND if you want you can have articles submitted to your blog from other members (that’s the 10,000+ blog network). It’s pretty amazing.
- Magic Article Rewriter and Submitter – This also looks pretty good but there was a note saying it doesn’t submit to the top directories… you may need to check that one out. You can buy them both separately so up to you. There are videos on the sales page so make sure you watch them (if you can put up with the automated voice) as the software looks pretty good.
- Article Submitter (Brad Callen) – There are 2 versions of this. A free one which submits to 80 directories but some of them don’t work and you have to do one directory at a time OR a paid one which has over 700 directories and is completely automated… there wasn’t any feedback on this product though Brad Callen in general is highly regarded and normally produces great products.

Article Spinners
There are 2 types of spinners: fully automated and ones where you need to do a bit of work re-writing sentences or selecting words to replace. Whilst the 1st options sounds amazing and can produce 1000 articles from just 1 article, usually only 5% of those articles are just gibberish. If you put in 30 mins with a good spinning program then you can create 10+ unique, quality articles that the directories will accept. The more time and options you put into the system, the more spun articles you will get.
- The Best Spinner – The name speaks for itself, it REALLY IS! This has a HUGE database (hundreds of thousands) of useful synonyms for not only words, but also phrases. It is very impressive. Lots of great features which make spinning articles really quick, easy and high quality. Watch the video on the Sales page to see it’s power, if you spin then it will be worth 15 minutes of your time as it will save you days over time. It also includes PLR as you can use other users submitted articles, you can add your articles to the directory with your links for backlinks AND you can post straight to WordPress… I cannot recommend it highly enough!
- Magic Article Rewriter – Seperate software to Magic Article Submitter but you can purchase both together for a discounted price.
- Unique Article Wizard – See above
Article Writing Software
Instant Article Wizard 2.0 – This is a software program by Jonathan Leger which speeds up the writing process BIG TIME. You put in your keyword and it will go and grab heaps of sentences from articles using that keyword. you then drag the sentences you want into your article and you can have a new article, in on a topic you know nothing about in minutes. You can then submit as is or quickly fix it up for complete uniqueness… maybe use a spinner at the same time so you can get 10+ articles from that one. Watch the video on the Sales Page to see how great it is… Click Here!
