Article Demon by EdwinSoft

Hey Sparkie:

I know what you mean. I own Bookmarking demon and it is a super program. I would venture to say that they don't come out with a lot of products, but when they do, they are superior to anything out there. best thing of all is that they can be bought for a one time purchase price, none of that monthly fee stuff!

I didn't post a link to their site but just go to their regular website and you'll see all their products, including the new Article Demon released today 10/27/2010. The sales page looks awesome...a ton of new features you diffently don't see in the other article software programs out there...I'm in!

Yes, his products are all good, and this one has some really nice features for those who have multiple projects for managing and scheduling.

I purchased

Have not pulled it out yet, but will over night tonight

Also like the automation that is built in and proxy support

I'm going to purchase Article Demon tonight and give it a try. I've been really happy with Bookmarking Demon so I think Article Demon is going to be excellent as well.

1 question: how many of these directories that you can submit to through the software are actively managed by the sites owner? Kind of pointless to be able to submit to 1900 directories if the articles take weeks or minths or never get approved.

Interesting how this is an Article Demon Review thread yet Article Marketing Robot purchasers/supporters are posting here in this thread about that product with the AMR software creator(SniperSoftware) coming in afterwards and posting thank you's under their posts...coincidence ?

Listen guys, Article Demon is brand new today....plently of new features and updates will be coming without a doubt. If you look at the BookMarkingDemon site you'll see pictures of the transition from Version 1 to Version 5...so huge it's almost like a completely new product.

However, I have to say that out of the gate, Article Demons Interface already looks much better compared to AMR's interface.... It makes Article Marketing Robot look like a homemade ubot platform design. I know it's the function of the software that counts but I'm sure Article Demon will be way ahead of the game(if not already) once it's been out the same length of time as AMR...probably sooner. As for now...Article Demons visual interface already looks a lot better thans AMR's and it's only 12 hours old

Is submitting to article directories still an effective method raise SERPS? I heard there are few top directories are added value to ranking like EZ, Buzzle, articlebase and goarticles. What do you guys think?

Just bought myself a copy of this little demon, can't wait to get started, and I like the interface very much! Might try out their blog commenting demon too.

Nice arguments between 2 camps of people.

I think I'll buy both software and do a comparison...

The fact that AMR offered a trial that submitted their own links as opposed to allowing me to try it uncrippled, turned me off of the whole thing.

I am wondering if anyone knows if you can generate reports of submissions made with Demon?

What about account creation?

I used BookmarkingDemon a while back and was annoyed that it did not have automated account creation like senuke, so I switch.

BMD did have auto creation. Unless you were using a version prior to 5. AD does as well, watch the videos first.

Look guys...If you feel that AD has more value (at an admittedly higher price), that's great. If you prefer AMR, great. I may try AD a bit later, but am personally happy with Vince's software. The point is: use what you use and what fits best for you. Don't argue over something that, when you're standing at the Gates of Heaven and your time is done on Earth, will ultimately be meaningless.

I'd be curious to see a comparison review next between both softwares...

Basically, it means that it is pointless to get into arguments regarding which software is better, because we're all in IM to make money and help people. And we will all eventually shed our mortal coil. And it won't matter what software we used...In short, never forget that each of us uses different tools to live our lives better and have more fun, before our time is done. Focus on what works for you.

OK, I've tried both softwares and here's what I think:

Article Demon (AD)
Pros

• Clean user interface, the calendar scheduling is very neat
• More comprehensive reporting
• Able to setup pen names (Important to Article Dashboard)
• More accurate category targeting (Lesser chance of submitting to wrong category)
• Auto-creation of accounts
• Allows reposting on failed directories

Cons

• I can submit to only 150-200 directories on average
• Quite a bit of preparation is needed before you can finally submit
• Submission seems to be slower

Article Marketing Robot (AMR)
Pros

• I can submit to 500+ directories on average
• Faster, simpler setup before I can submit
• Cheaper by $50
• Submission seems to be faster
• Auto-creation of accounts
• Shows how good are the directories with "Health Status"

Cons

• Looks like every button is on the same screen, a little confusing at first
• No proxy setting
• Only one decapcher service available
• No pen names setup
• May have higher chance of sending to wrong category
• It will create a cache HTML file for every submission you make. It can clutter the hard disk

Conclusion
AD has a more consumer-friendly software but it really lacking in the number of directories it has. If it has over 1,000 article directories I would really think it is a winner. Perhaps AD is still new, which is why they don't have a lot of directories but I will definitely keep a look-out on new development of AD.

AMR is obviously a software developed by a hard-core developer, which explains why it doesn't have a friendly interface. The submission is faster and it is has a lot of directories submitted. It's strange why AD does not have proxy servers as some of the users will have higher chance of not able to submit due to IP blocking.

If I am one who believes in submitting to as many directories as possible, AMR would be my choice. If you are one who wants better management of the submission, AD would be your choice.

So, which one will you choose? You decide.

Thanks you guys for a great discussion - I'm definitely keeping my $127 and spending it on some content, spun articles, and the like. You've definitely convinced me Article Demon is not worth the purchase - my money doesn't know if it's being spent on a brand name or simply staying put because AMR has yet to be out done.

All the other bells and whistles - like spinning pen names and using proxies - sound so good (when you're forum or social bookmark or comment spamming) - but not when you're submitting a ton of articles. Those features are entirely worthless in an article submitter.

I realize our industry has made us all BS artists - but selling to others in the industry, I'd rather have an honest review and not the hype. Will AD work? Sounds like it. Just can't part me from a dollar when I can save fifty and accomplish more with a tool made by a fellow Warrior.

I could care less about the shiny interface, or the calendar --??-- I have one of those already. You all have fun, now, selling people hyped up products that are second-rate.

Joseph - thanks for the input.

Why don't they add 1000s of article directories that already exist and test them all out, rather than tell us to add them ourselves. Weird to be honest.

Just got another package bonus from AD, so around 420 article directories at the moment, I guess it hasn't grow to its fullest potential yet, will be expecting more bonuses from them.

I know it's early yet - but would really like to hear from you AD users: since there are 100 sites loaded, it should be pretty easy to test the acceptance rate. That would be a genuine selling point.

That's good news, then - and a quick build up from the 100. Gotta give cred where it's due. The only submitter I've ever used that can post to EzineArticles and other top directories successfully (most of the time) was Magic Submitter - never used SENuke. Would be eager to hear (give it a week I'm sure) if the same's true for AD.

So: the bonus directories - are they quality directories or more PR0?

Hey James, I don't do auto submit for ezinearticles etc top directories, prefer manually so won't be able to tell you the result. As for the bonus directories, first and second bonus packages should have about 200 pr0 100 pr2 and 50 pr1.

I have not tried out that particular niche, but it being a popular one, the percentage should not exceed 1.

Hey Guys...just received this email from Edwin Soft with a bunch of New Features and Directories. Article Demon is only a few days old now but Edwin Soft always takes care of their customers with new features, updates and customer service...class A company to deal with. They have really proved themselves with their last 2 programs as well(Bookmarking Demon and Blog Demon)


We have just updated http://articledemon.com (not an affilaite link)with a new bonus list
and new features.

1. Added 450 bonus article directories, bringing the total to 550
article directories.

2. Upgraded site detection engine. It is now able to handle more
directories.

3. Added "Spin To Text Files" into rewriter. User can now spin the
article into unique versions and store them into .TXT files.

4. Added "Protected Words" into rewriter. User can now mark words
that they don't want to replace when they use the synonyms replacer.

5. Rewriter is now capable of detecting missing { or }. They will
be highlighted in red. This will prevent articles from getting
banned due to unreadable article caused by missing { or }.

6. Added a new randomization option into scheduler. User can now
instruct the scheduler whether it should randomize the
selected items before adding it into the scheduler. By default it
is set to no randomization.

7. User can now change "follow tag" by unlocking protected field.
Only works for self-added directories.

8. "Add Article Directories" now support retry for auto-detection.
This allow user to retry their list that contain unsuccessful
records.

9. Directory detection has been updated to provide more information
on why a detection has failed.

Previously, directories that are no longer online will show
as "UNDETECTED". Now you will be able to see more specific error.

10. Previously duplicate directories are added into the fail
counter list. This confuses user. A new counter is added to the
detection screen when duplication is detected.

11. Closing the "Add Article Directories" after detection will copy
all unsuccessful directories into clipboard. User can then paste it
into notepad to see what directories have failed the detection
process.

12. User can now click on any segment of the "Preview Spun Article"
screen to copy it into clipboard. To copy the whole spun article
into clipboard, user can click on the [Copy To Clipboard] button.

13.The .CSV file for Export/Import accounts, articles & directories
now include the column headers (for readability). Exported files
created in previous version no longer works unless you copy the
header line from file exported using the new version into the older
one.

14.Author Bio column added into "Account Creation Queue" grid. To
enable it, click "Restore Grid Layout" from the toolbar.

I have bookmarking demon and I don't like how the scheduler works. I set it to come on automatically when Windows starts and I have to turn the scheduler on manually to get it to bookmark.

Does Article Demon's scheduler work like that?

Any WSO available for ArticleDemon ?

Of the people using Article Demon, how long do you spend actually operating it? Say on a daily or a weekly basis.

The same free public proxies that work inside of Bookmarking Demon work inside of Article Demon. That is good news.

About the bio boxes. I learned long ago that a bio box is not really a bio box to an Internet Marketer. In my bio boxes, I just continue the article. I leave two links, anchored text #1 points to my homepage and anchored text #2 points to a deep page, if I have one, or also to the homepage. When the article goes live, the bio box is indistinguishable from the article itself. Here is an example of what I am talking about: hxxp://ezinearticles.com/?Will-Social-Bookmarking-Improve-Your-Website-Traffic?&id=4326967 (You will have to change the hxxp to http in your browser.) On that article, the bio box starts with the words "You can submit manually..." In my bio boxes, I don't talk about myself at all. I learned this idea from Grizz... and it has served me well.

I always submit manually to ezine articles, wait for the article to go live, then submit rewrites of the ezine article to all others. Even though EZA is inside of Article Demon, I will still submit to that one site by hand.

The pen name creation ability is one that is important to me. I have a pen name for each niche and keep my articles organized that way. I use pen names because I don't want anyone to discover my entire niche website network. A friend of mine did not use pen names at first. He showed an article to me, and when I clicked on his author name at the article directory website, a list of all his articles appeared. He did not know about some article directory sites doing that, and started using pen names after that.

The fact that Article Demon notifies you that a category was not available is such a great feature! You can then choose a category that is 'close enough' and get a successful submission instead of a failed one.

Just bought Article Demon, can't tell if I like it yet because the instruction manual sucks, just a bunch of pictures of the pretty interface with very little practical details on how to use the program.

I'm a BMD user so you would think I'd be able to figure this thing out.

So, for any of you who are successfully using Article Demon here are 2 questions for you:

1. Is the resource area HTML - can I insert links there.

2. In the "Published" tab - Do I need to do anything to check if my articles have been submitted/published on the target site or does the software automatically go out and scan the sites at some set interval - then report back to me?

Thanks

Just out of curiosity - all you Article Demon users - any of you using it along with other submitters (articles)?

I'm wondering specifically if anyone knows if the article directories are different between AD and AMR, because that would be reason to buy both (if you're nuts like me).

Will check it out this tools...If this tools have an update support like BMD, I'll go with this software. Thanks for the information buddy

To those already have it, what is the % of acceptance in AD?

I just got it, AD looks great and it is very well organized, however I'm having problems adding the 600+ bonus websites they offer, they all fail to add, and when I try to add my list of sites too, not sure what is wrong, however the rest is working fine, It created 75 out of 100 accounts automatically with decaptcher, need to submit some articles now and check that, the one I submited, i think 40 of them went thorugh and 2 were almost automatically approved, will wait more time to see the rest getting approved.

Update:

Got it to work, not quite sure what it was, but now is ok, and it is working really well, somebody got any directories list to add in?

Hi guys,

Does AD a good tool to invest? I have articlerobot on it.
I love the feature of tracking of approved articles but does it Really work?

My intention was get links so is it able to include HTML / links?

Final word is it worth it to invest this as article submission tool? Or should I get those monthly fee type of article submission tool?

Oh... That's a good news... Different software are really coming out this days and it is really an advantage for many of internet marketers. Great!

Just picked this up last night and went through the account creation/add pen names/verify emails stage. VERY easy and fast. Used a list of proxies along with decaptcher and sat back while it did all the work. Will submit my first batch of article tonight

Well, this thing is a complete bust at this point. Account creation went great, article submission was awful. When I "queued" my articles for submission, there were 215 directories that it was prepared to submit to. Of these 215, a total of 3 were successful - all the rest failed.

I have been back and forth with support who have not been helpful up to now.

If anyone has any idea why this is, please let me know. When I use the "view last error" feature it rarely tells me anything. There's a couple of ones where it says account hasn't been activated or summary is too short, but most don't show any error.

VERY frustrating.

I found this article by searching "article demon discount" I wonder if it was submitted using the software. Read through it and tell me what you think. I was ready to purchase last night but after reading this I'm not sure. Article Demon Discount Article Demon Bonus
Is this the kind of results that are expected from most spinning software? I'm new to this but I don't think I would want my name on anything this bad. And do you think she intended to use her yeast infection bio?

I am just happy with AMR and gave some experiments with AD, there is no doubt it is also a good tool.But, Right now AD is bit behind AMR when we compare both the features and price together.
Yes BMD is a nice one but AD is just a newly born baby and it will get some feed backs and some more bug fixes. The initial functionality make me think that it will grow and become better than AMR. However, just we have to wait a little in order to make a mature comparison.

I had AMR and I found it to be really hard to use, so I tried this new program, and I really like it a lot more.

AD is confusing at first, don't get me wrong, but once you realize that all of the creations you're trying to run are still in the submit queue, it's fairly easy to slam right though them. The scheduler is kind of lame, since you still can't do anything else with the software while the scheduler is running. I'd love the ability to have it send requests to a server that can submit articles for me at intervals, but I suppose I'll have to wait for a new piece of software to do that too.

By the way, you can add your own directories. With a little Scrapeboxing I added over 1,200 working directories to AD, and now the two softwares have very similar capabilities.

The 500 submission limit on account creation is kind of dumb. I wish they'd get rid of that. Another thing I'd like to see in the future is some kind of randomization feature for articles I'm waiting to submit so I can pick from a variety of spins I've got out there.

I had AD and AMR. Tried AD, found it very pretty but on 100 or so submissions got 60 successful and out of that 14 links. And from account creation to scheduling to submission it was slow and tedious. AMR might not look so pretty but it is much more effective and quick to use. So I refunded AD

We used Article Demon heavily for more than 12 months. Initially, success rates were around 70%. Then they dropped to 50%, then 30%, and now they are negligible.

Whether simply creating accounts, pen names or submitting articles, the software is now virtually useless. We use a rotating list of private proxies that we change out each month, we use Decaptcher and ByPassCaptcha, we DO NOT spin content and we always use corporate email accounts.

We have tried every workaround imaginable with no improvement. It's unfortunate because we are big EdwinSoft users - BCD and BD are also among our SEO tool and they work very well most of the time.

However, when it comes to AD, I think it's safe to say the software is dead. They put too much effort into their new product, Ultimate Demon, and neglected their powerful stand-alone tool.

It's a shame.

Much better, having used both. It supports more footprints and is overall faster to use. Higher success rate as well.

there is any posibility to add articles directory which don't have any foot print and to learn AD to submitt to them?

AMR can add only footprint directories, if the owner change the name of the files for signup you can't do anything.

I think the success with articles directories is to build your own list of directories and to submit to them.

If we already own UD, is there any reason to buy and use BMD or articledemon?
