Are Your Articles Going Nowhere?

By Donna Bessken

If you write online eventually you will need an article submission service. So, take the time to research which ones are the best ones to use.Time is Money. Are you submitting to useless directories? I just completed a review of article submission services, maybe it will help you find which ones are the best for you.The list of well recognized article submission services is here with notes about each one. No junk sites are included. This list covers these services in random order: ISnare, My Article Network, Submit Your Article, Spin Distribute, Unique Article Wizard, Send Articles.com, Fast Submit Articles.com, SEO Content Writers,1waylinks.com, ArticleSubmissionServices.com and My Way Links. Take your time looking them over.

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.

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,though expensive. That and their site statistics suggest they are delivering good service. No free submissions are available. In the more affordable range is ISNARE. ISnare sends one copy of your 500 word article to hundreds of webmasters. Cross-posting is prevented. 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 surely give free members some traffic and a fair amount of backlinks and more for paid members.

SUBMIT YOUR ARTICLE is better than ISnare. It submits to EzineArticles and other high quality directories. It applies an advanced Article Leverage technology to enhance your listings. Cost. $37.00/month. SPIN DISTRIBUTE is another network of sites service where 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 you would be hard pressed to beat that kind of 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 started out strong and initially helped my sites with their network of blogs, about 1500 of them. But as they progressed, too many of the sites were poor quality and the value of the links diminished. Even though it costs only $47/month, I do not recommend it at this time.

Nonetheless, I have learned that it will be a lot less expensive and much more effective if you apply your own leverage and your own techniques to article marketing and submission. If you connect with networks that already exist and already are waiting for your articles it will cost a lot less than many of these other services mentioned. What works best in my opinion is to use either MY ARTICLE NETWORK ($47/month) if you are just starting a 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. It is best to create your own system. Mine is working well.
