Article marketing is one of the best ways of building backlinks and traffic for your website business.  However, article marketing is a numbers game.  Any given article will likely only generate a dozen or less visitors a day.  So many people use automatic article submitters in order to submit their article to hundreds of directories.  That way they at least generate hundreds of backlinks.

Instant Article Submitter

The long and the short of this review is that I would not recommend this product to you.  Here are the features:

• Sign Up for 241 Directories (but most don’t work)
• Multiple Logins (slightly confusing but appears to work well enough)
• Automatic Submission to the 241 Directories

These are the basic features necessary for any good piece of article submission software.  Except in my opinion these features need to work and work well most of the time.

Problems

Sign Ups

There are 241 directories that you can sign up for using the software.  In my test there were a high percentage of these directories which no longer existed – high as in 25%-ish.  On top of that there were a high percentage – 20%-ish – of article directories listed which were based on technology which the software couldn’t handle.  Specifially there is a set of directories which require 10+ fields to be filled in which the software doesn’t recognize and won’t automatically complete.

On top of those issues, I find it particularly annoying that the software can’t complete the sign up for you.  Current article autosubmission software – like Mass Article Submission – aren’t really any better and this is ridiculous.  Software like Brute Force Linking Loophole will create accounts and logins start to finish and then move onto the next site.

Automatic Article Submission

The automatic article submission portion of the software works better but wasn’t really to my liking.  My primary complaint is that software opens several web browsers that interfere with the normal operation of your computer.

Other web based automation programs will also create web browsers that can interfere somewhat.  Most stay in the background though.  This one returned one script error after another – probably from the directory sites themselves – that kept popping up in front of the program I was trying to use.  So not only did hte software not automate enough of the process but it also interfered with the use of my computer while requiring my constant attention.  Submission to the sites that were left fo the 241 (plus about 60 that don’t require a login) took about an hour.

Summary

The software will certainly save you some time.  Given a little practice I’m sure some of the initial irritants would be less irritating.  However, the submission seems to be very time consuming.

I’ve used the site JetSubmitter in the past and I’ve found that it was better.
