For Serious Marketers Only

Last week, I almost bought an automatic article submitter. It's called Article Submitter and it claims it can submit up to 600 article websites or directories in just one click. I downloaded the standard version and it has all the components except that there is no button to submit the article.

The trial version of Article Submitter has a database of 85 article directories. You have to fill up your profile information as this is needed to sign up to any article site. Then, you can input or paste your article, both in plain text or HTML. The HTML version is for websites that requires that.

For some article directories, you need to type in a confirmation code to submit an article. Someone came up with this idea about to avoid spam. I read in forums that submitting articles automatically is considered spamming in itself yet there is no evidence to support this claim.

I thought Article Submitter can be better improved by having the capability of adding articles. Although Brad Callen, the maker of the program said they spent 18 months in building it, somehow, I feel like it is yet in its development phase.

The price of Article Submitter is a whopping $197 but it depends on what URL you landed. I found the same product for $97 and $167.

Holly Mann, in her ebook Honest Riches, recommended an article submission service. Two hundred thirty sites for $25. I was thinking the owner of this service has a kind of automatic article submission in order to do that for cheap. Holly Mann also listed a directory of Article Directories spanning four pages(Honest Riches 2007, pp.69-72). Just looking at the list makes me want to p***.

I think Article Submitter would benefit webmasters who are really keen on having backlinks to their sites. I was thinking that those marketers who have full sites should really invest in article submitter. It's really a pain to submit articles manually and to auto-submit your articles is just a welcome idea, if not for the price.

Nonetheless, after much deliberation, I decided not to pass on the Article Submitter. I weighed my options and decided to invest the money on something more important like the keyword tool.
