Wow, that's cool! So all post will be there intact and we can resume the service anytime? That is nice!

WilsonRose · 05-14-2009, 08:55 AM

Matt, I have a quick question. I have a few blogs linked to your network. However, as I was checking through some of the posts I have received, one of them had some very vulgar language. I had all my blogs set to auto approve, but have since changed them to email me for approval.

Am I required to keep that post on my blog with the vulgar language or am I allowed to delete it. I prefer family friendly sites.

tonystai · 05-14-2009, 11:15 AM

Certainly you should remove the offending post. It would be no different than if you had declined it in the first place. Only side affect could be that the authors distribution count is one higher than it is in reality.

Their sales letter promises backlinks in minutes - of course nobody is expecting that. But what worries me is that I don´t see any backlinks results after 4 days in one case and 6 days in another - just nada.
Well they mailed me that definitely my ranking did not go down due to the submissions....I loved that answer
They also say the info on the blogs where the articles were published are private. That I think is no good policy especially since anybody can check backlinks. It would also be good policy because then we would know if anybody is changing our links

Kuma,

If you have a method or software that can show a new backlink in 4 to 6 days guaranteed, you would either be:

A). Very, very rich because thousands upon thousands of people would purchase your method or software from you.

Or...

B). You work at, or own, Google, Yahoo or MSN.

I doubt it's either.

Best Regards,

I agree but my point was referring to their sales letter where it says on the first page in Tahoma 24point Bold (http://www.myarticlenetwork.com/):
""What if you had control of the sites you post your content to, post it immediately with little to no wait time, and start seeing One-Way backlinks in a matter of minutes?"

Best wishes

So for i've had good success with it. Articles are getting picked up by a lot of sites and we're getting some good traffic and improved rankings. if you can get in at $47/month it's a great deal.

divertic · 05-19-2009, 02:18 AM

My articles been accepted by a lot of sites, and I am start to see real results.

TKO · 05-19-2009, 04:57 AM

If you work the system and provide the network with quality articles, you will definitely see great results.

This isn't magic or some secret, its leveraging your articles to a whole new level.

Am I happy with the system, ecstatic.

kposs · 05-19-2009, 07:22 PM

My only complaint about MyArticleNetwork is that the categories are actually too narrow meaning that each category contains fewer potential sites to publish my article. I'd like to be able to submit to broader categories and then narrow those down if needed.

I submitted articles for clients across 5 or 6 different categories and after a month the least number of times an article was reprinted is 9 and the most number of times an article was reprinted is 43. And I'm getting 30% to 50% acceptance rates across all categories so I don't think there's any problem with the articles themselves.

You can submit to additional categories, but I think you have to rewrite the article so that it's completely unique in order to do that.

I'm keeping MyArticleNetwork for another month and I'm going to try Syndicate Kahuna as well to see if I can get wider distribution.

Daniel McGonagle · 05-19-2009, 09:27 PM

I was one of the first to join My Article Network (I got the bonus for being the first 25 to join on launch day) and have been comparing this against Unique Article Wizard, LinkVana, 1WayLinks and Backlink Solutions.

The links obtained are somewhat anemic, and lacking LinkVana-style power, but with My Article Network you can limit your syndication to a set amount of "published"s or syndications...unlike Unique Article Wizard.

I am finding the syndication limitation to be a good thing as it limits the number of "dupe spins" that are out there. Limit the number of syndicated dupe spins to 100...and you increase the chances of your links sticking...

This is way better than the 1waylinks network which was just a bunch of linkfarm-style donor blogs( I'm still pissed I wasted 3 1/2 months with them) but pales in comparison (so far) to Unique Article Wizard.

My Article Network is similar to Unique Article Wizard since it can have your spun articles syndicated on quality sites, but UAW syndicates on sites and directories, too, adding to the number of places where your articles are hosted, thereby adding value to what their service offers.

Generally speaking, the more targeted your submissions are the better they'll perform due to being on relevant sites and or categories, so it's better to submit an article to targeted relevant directories and let the syndication build over time than to try to jam your "blogging article" category article into the "general IM" category.

However, there is SOME value to doing Brute Force-style link building since it's easier to do but somewhat less effective than getting a few quality links here and there. The link building purists will tell you to get links from the highest quality most relevant sites, but how many backlinks do you think you're going to get that way? It'd take forever... and you won't get a lot of links...
I tested long-tail, short-tail and everything in between with My Article Network with varying results.

I just started getting backlinks from MAN for the blog post below...

Awesome Blog Writing Tips -How To Post To Your Blog Often With Good Content - Online Marketing And Internet Business Advice

Before I used MAN to link to it I was page 2 without links and a week and 15 or so backlinks later, it's moved from the bottom of page 2 to the top of page 2 and it will only climb.

I submitted the article to their "blogging" category because it was an article about blogging tips, so it either worked decently due to the extreme targeting of the category I submitted it to or because of the non-competitive nature of the term.

This post will most likely make it to page 1 and start competing with the Pr3 and 4 listings there.

Do a search for the term Backlink Solutions... On page 1 you'll see either my danielmcgonagle.name site or my linkvanareviews.com site at the bottom of page 1 (trying not to put to many urls in here).

To test MAN out I wrote 2 reviews on Backlink Solutions, one of the .name site and the other on the lvreviews.com site, and I even linked to the lvreviews.com site from the .name site.

Then I published an article to MAN to get links to one of my posts on the lvreviews.com site to compete with my other site that is usually outranking it without any backlinks to it with anchor text..

So go figure, why would the post without backlinks be outranking/leapfrogging back and forth over the lvreviews.com MAN review post in the SERPs if the lvreviews.com post is getting more backlinks than the other?

Because the links are anemic... OR because the .name site is such a well-SEO-ed site that its posts rank highly no matter what and will outrank other sites and URLs that are getting backlinks.

It's really hard to create logical and efinite comparisons between the effects of link building services when using 2 different sites because there's so many variables to take into consideration, but that's the best kind of test I could think of, to write 2 reviews, both unique, let them get indexed and settle in the SERPs, then link to just one of them to see how the one with backlinks fares against the one not getting backlinks.

I LOVE MAN's interface, even the laborious spinner, but Unique Article Wizard's spinner has the ability to spin words, paragraphs, and even urls, which is really cool since UAW has the tendency to give you TOO many backlinks in a short flurry of submissions.

So spinning the urls in Unique Article Wizard seems to work really well seeing as how 4 of my sites show up on page 1 for the term My Article Network review as of right now. I use one article submitted to UAW to anchor link back to 4 DIFFERENT sites, and the article has been syndicated to thousands of sites and directories with a spin and a click (no exaggeration there, either, thousands with UAW).

I'm finding it really hard to tell if this gets a thumbs up from me yet but

#1- I am happy with the interface,the spinner and the article stats, views and what-not

#2- The # of published sites is consistently corresponding to the 3 of pingbacks I see in my blogs' comments section.

#3- There's a bit of freedom here to submit articles with aff links or even squeeze pages.

As another way of testing MAN out to see if there's any real referral traffic being gnerated, I figured that I'd use MAN for list building purposes by writing quality articles linking to 2 or 3 of my squeeze pages from the articles...and I haven't seen much of an uptick in the subscriber buildup.

If the subscriber opt-in rate increased significantly, I'd recommend MAN on that basis alone.

So I've tested MAN a number of ways since day 1 and the jury's still out. Anyone seeing immediate bumps in their rankings due to using MAN probably saw results because their rankings plateaued due to only getting links from the same series of sites (EZA, isnares, etc...) for so long, thinking that using EZA for linkbuilding purposes was a good idea (it's not...).

There should be some recommendations by MAN to site owners to Not post more than once a week so their sites getting free content don't become un-spidered junk blogs with way more outgoing links than incoming (little to no link juice).

If sites in the MAN, AMA,1WL networks are posting too frequently the re-published articles may not get indexed properly, and the spiders won't be able to catch up, or deep crawl these sites won't find the content, and won't find the links to credit, too.

THAT's why services like Backlink Solutions have inbred limits on their out-linking, and it's also why the consistently rotate some sites OUT of their network, because these sites will turn into mini-link-farm sites if they continue to get hammered with spun, dupe contet and linking outwardly all the time.

THAT's why BLS and LV limit the # of urls per article/snippet, blurb to 1/article, too, and that's why those services work so well.

Having a bunch of sites in a network published tons of articles very frequently and linking out 3 times per article will eventually hurt the network's effectiveness at some point, and the owners of these freebie-content-laden sites will be facing difficulties trying to rank well for anything when they're linking out 3 times per post 5 times a day or whatever.

If something doesn't change here...if site owners accepting free content don't limit their outgoing links, then this service will be reduced in its effectiveness over time, maybe in a few months much like 1wl did.

Also...

If you submit to targeted categories, that is the best type of link you can get, from a relevant category and section of a site, right?

So the more targeted you are in your category selection for article submissions, the more limited to are to a FINITE number of sites, right?

So what happens if these same sites are linking to your new articles repeatedly?

THOSE links become less effective with each passing link. You can't go to the well too often there...

No link building service is perfect. MAN is decent right now, but I can't believe people are coming out with case studies and "proof" when they're not comparing it to the effects that different services are having or whether or not the effects are permanent...and because of the reasons I've listed above it can take 30-60, maybe even 90 days to see if the benefits continue on past that time period as the network decreases in value.

Another suggestion for MAN is to have a feature whereby they suggest you limit your syndication to 50-100 sites per submission, then allow you to submit to 100 new sites with subsequent article submissions. That way, you're not tapping into the same sites and IP addresses all the time, and your articles aren't getting "snapped up: and republished on the same first 50-100 sites that have their accounts set to auto-approve articles.

It'd be good to know that you will be submitting articles for syndication to different sites to enjoy the benefits of getting links from different IP addresses.

I've seen pingbacks from the same sites multiple times and while not a huge cause for concern for me, this will still lead to a decrease in the linking effectiveness.

MAN has 20,000 blogs in their network, which is a totally awe-inspiring number... so it'd be great to get the mos tof ouf their service by knowing that you'll have the ability to tap into this plethora of site by having an option to submit new articles to the NEXT 50-100 unique sites.

Hope this makes sense and isn't too complicated...

Daniel,

Thanks for the detailed review. I also like the MAN spinner very much, whereas other spinners I've looked at [briefly] in the past seem more complicated. How is UAW's spinner set up? Would there be a way to take one's spun article from MAN and just copy & paste it into UAW's interface?

I couldn't agree with you more on this one, and I posted earlier in this thread that one small thing I don't like about MAN is that the least frequent option to ask for articles to be published on one's site is one per day. I really don't want to publish a new article every single day on my blogs (with outgoing links). So I end up rejecting some, not for quality, but because I don't want as many articles as they send me.

But the current frequency options, being one a day or more, is a disservice to members, as it implies that this is good practice.

I would much prefer that an option of "X number of articles per week" be included (I'd probably take 2-3 per week). Although I really don't use MAN for content for my own sites (am just testing it on a couple of broad niche blogs), but as you point out, for our published articles to get the most benefit, they should not be sitting on junk blogs.

Daniel McGonagle · 05-20-2009, 09:34 AM

UAW's spinner allows you to spin keywords (anchor text) and MAN's does, too but I'm not sure how spinning anchor text works with MAN, in reality as I haven't played with it because I don't want to mess up any hyperlinks.

Yes, you can take an article for MAN and submit to UAW but it's be best if you rewrote your MANs quite a bit to make it really unique.

UAW's submission process is a bit different and you get 1000s of submissions with them, but my testing has shown that the first wave of submissions (set to 50/day even though you'll have option to send to 1900 places) produces quick results, then dies off a bit afterward. It seems like the benefits with UAW come in the first few days of your submissions then everything dies down afterward.

And that's why you should have several different sites that have a similar piec eof site content optimized for the same words that you want to rank well for. In other words, UAW is very powerful and that doesn't really matter though because much of the submissions get wasted due to the overwhelming amount of backlinks you'll supposedly receive, which is why I spin the URLs and anchor text to send links to different sites and urls.

With your donor blog in MAN, you have complete control! Don't auto-publish the articles and be picky about what you accept on there. there's no reason why you should be publishing more articles on your sites than you want to.

Plus, you have the option in MAN with your donor blogs to only accept articles that are at least 30% Unique.

kenwarrior · 05-20-2009, 12:22 PM

I think that the network is fair value at $47/month, providing you add plenty of new articles, my goal is to add 1 at least every 2 days. I've seen some back links appearing after 30 days however I don't buy some of the hype on the sales page with people saying after 3 days they jumped to the top 10 on google etc, I don't think the people making the testimonials know what they are taking about.

askloz · 05-20-2009, 12:40 PM

no one yet cos it's not ready... article blog poster should be ready hopefully by the end of the month, but you know programmers...

it's so complex, there's nothing out there like it, not even myarticlenetwork, it has far more services included, plus it's cheaper...

we're at about 800,000 lines of code right now.

20 servers on back up, plus 50,000 unique ip addresses ready to be put at work.

we anticipate within say 6 months, or 12 at max, there should be around 300,000 - 500,000 websites in the network.

My programmer created a script that hunts out domains based on keywords and automatically purchases them through his domain registrar (he's also a website host too).

Can't say too much about what it does, cos M.A.N has already taken a few of my ideas from a preview video I launched a while back. kinda peed me off really... oh hum... I guess there's no love when it comes to business.

but congrats to Matt and his Biz partner on getting it up and running though. but watch out...

Loz is coming with a killer

This is excellent advice all around. I have 5 donor blogs in the system and at this point my stats show I have rejected 74% of the articles offered to me. That's because I have pretty strict criteria.

First I have the system reject all articles under 30% unique. Although that 30% is very inaccurate. I'll explain more in a minute.

Next I will reject the article if it has 3 links to the same web page. That just looks spammy.

Next I will reject any article that has redirect links to affiliate pages.

Finally here's where it get's a little time consuming. I'll take a sentence from the article and put in quotes in Google. Usually I'll get back anywhere from 10 to 75 pages. Then I'll randomly open tabs with 3 of those pages. I'll then copy and paste the original article and the 3 Google found pages into Dupecop Spun.

You'll be amazed at what you find. Articles that you get that are supposed to be 75% unique often come back only 5-10% unique when put into Dupecop Spun. If my article is not about 30% unique from the other 3 found by Google, I'll probably reject that one as well unless it happens to be exceptional.

Generally if the article you get from the network does not arrive showing at least 150% unique, chances are it is nowhere near 30% unique from others already published. I have no idea how they get their numbers but check it for yourself.

I should mention that I am using AMA and not MAN but it's my understanding that it is the same network.

Yes it's a more work to do it this way, but at least I know I'm only publishing somewhat unique articles. And I get more than enough submissions to publish as many as I need to.

askloz · 05-20-2009, 09:35 PM

Doesn't M.A.N have it's own dup checker then?

Daniel McGonagle · 05-23-2009, 02:08 PM

Hopefully the Callens come back to read this thread, because the suggested features that would improve the service and the network would make this an almost-equal to UAW.

AskLoz, yes there's supposedly a dupe checker or uniqueness checker, but as the OP mentioned it's not consistent with what his dupe checker software comes up with.

I've also noticed that some of my links get broken from time to time and I'm pretty sure that 18/24 articles I submitted that had linking errors weren't due to error on my part.

Therefore there should be a link-checker feature that checks the articles for proper hyperlink-age prior to publishing and after publishing, too

linkbuilder · 05-24-2009, 12:32 AM

At a glance the site is not look like effective as I first time hear about the site but when Brad Callen is referring this site it means the site is genuine and effective , so i must join there and the price is not much high, so i would like to say thanks to Brad Callen that he has given a good review on the site.

This is my experience as well. I have an acceptance of more than 90% of my articles but what I am offered amounts to a rejection rate of about 60%. If you are out for quality on your blog you have to be choosy and see that you get decent content

Hi korvix,

Here's what our FAQ says:
"What happens? Zero, nothing, nada. All the links in the copies of the articles that have already been published on the sites remain intact. The system doesn't touch those links."

Here's the FAQ in case there are any other questions... they may already be answered there: FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions MyArticleNetwork.com

I've noticed that there have been a few initial startup questions about "how this whole system works with article marketing, how it helps increase Google rankings, etc..." These have been asked more than once by some of my own subscribers (as well as other Warrior members here at the forum)...

So I went ahead and just had 3 videos created to give the entire picture of how useful and powerful M.A.N works in the whole big idea of "article marketing, SEO rankings and increased traffic results".

Here are the 3 videos I originally made specifically for my own members, but I figured that it may help some fellow Warriors too.... so here ya go (these are free, direct links):
Video #1: www.mattcallen.com/videos/1_fundamentals

Have a great weekend!

Daniel McGonagle · 05-29-2009, 09:22 PM

Matt, thanks. One thing I'd like to mention is that these videos aren't fluff, B.S. videos, they tell you exactly what to do and how to do it. You get free content sent to your sites and permanent one-way links too.

Matt, a couple of questions... is there a video on how to add a site to network using whatever that code is?

Also, what are your thoughts about "leapfrogging" over sites that previously published our articles so the same first 150 sites aren't the one always published our articles?

I'd like to know that I'm getting links from different sites and not just the same "first 150 who have their settings set to auto-approve".

It would also be good to have a way of dictating the pace of the submissions so the articles don't all get republished/syndicated in 10 days but get spread out over a period of time.

Also, MAN DOES send out links almost right away, there have been times when I'd finish rewriting an articles and 10 minutes later I'm seeing ping-backs from my articles being published elsewhere, just an FYI for everyone else

DaleP · 06-04-2009, 05:25 AM

Matt hopefully you can answer my questions below before I put ALOT of time into MAN...it relates to a post submitted earlier on...my questions are below..

Quote:

Gday Matt, just purchased and like what I see so far.

Just a quick question, in terms of re-writting the articles, what percentage should we be aiming for as a bare minimum? Obviously 100% is best, but what percentage works well as a minimum?

Cheers Thomas

Now I have 20 articles I would like to submit on MAN as I have just signed up...this is going to take alot fo time and effort so I would like to find the following out before diving in.

1. What do you suggest is the most optimum spin ratio (what percentage) to get the most out of my time. I guess what im asking is what is the smallest spin ratio I can use which yields the greatest acceptance rate from site owners.

2. Is it recommened that one spins the title at the same ratio as the actual body/content?

3. I see there are 2 aspects of spinning on MAN...one is how many sentences you actually spin, and the other aspect is how many times you actually rewrite each sentence. I am wondering whether to go for spinning a few sentences plenty of times? or spinning ALL sentences only once or twice.

If others have had recent experiences on the above please feel free to share too.

Thanks

csm · 06-04-2009, 07:03 AM

Dale,

I'm not Matt, but can tell you my experience with re-writing my articles.

First, when I re-write the title, I usually provide two or three extra titles in addition to my original title. This always results in my title being shown as more than 100% rewritten. Sometimes, it even says my title is more than 200% rewritten (just viewing one now that claims to be 211% rewritten). I have no idea how this percentage value is calculated, but if I can get a title rewritten percentage in excess of 100% by providing 2-3 additional titles, I'll continue with this approach.

Second, for my article body, I usually rewrite at least half of the sentences. So when I start the process, if it says I have 36 sentences that can be rewritten, I keep going until it says I have fewer than 18. Sometimes I do more if the juices are flowing and I feel productive, sometimes I do less if I'm struggling and then I'll check the percentages and go back and rewrite more if I'm not happy with the result.

I usually provide at least one and up to four new sentences for each sentence I rewrite. Some sentences I only write one alternative because my brain cannot think of another one. Some flow easier and I might provide as many as four rewrites, but almost never more. With this method, whenever I refresh the pages to review my article, it usually tells me that my article is 80% or more rewritten, sometimes even close to 100% or a little over.

What I'll do is after spinning a batch of sentences, I'll go to the View option and refresh a few times to see the percentages I'm getting. If it only says I'm at 60% or so, I rewrite a few more sentences. I do that until my rewrite percentage exceeds 80% consistently.

My articles currently have an acceptance rate of over 90% each. Overall rejection rate is 8% across all articles.

I don't know if there is a 'magic' percentage to hit which gives the best results with the least amount of time, but even if a lower percentage would mean that my articles are picked up as frequently, I wouldn't really want an abundance of articles out there that are too similar.

You may be able to get by with a lower rewrite rate. Keep in mind that publishers have the option to automatically reject any article that is not rewritten at least 30%. So if you are going for bare minimums, I would say that over 30% would be the minimum. I don't find it to be that much more time consuming to spin a few extra sentences and get a significantly better ratio, however.

Hope that's useful!

Thats awesome advice thanks Susan.

One more thing...I have set my article to be distributed 2 days ago already and still I have 0 reviews/publishes? Is there some sort of time lag before the article gets presented to site owners?

..and lastly, where do you view how many sentences there are? I can only see a word count when I click 'View'

eg. "This preview of your article consists of 876 words."

csm · 06-04-2009, 10:13 AM

I've always seen my articles start to be published the same day I set them to go live. But I would imagine this is dependent on the category. If you select an obscure niche/category, there may be fewer sites to distribute your articles to.

For the number of sentences, you only see this when you click to Rewrite. After you've rewritten your Title, and you move to starting to rewrite sentences, at the top it will say "Your article has XX sentences left that can be rewritten." This changes after each sentence is rewritten.

What's nice is that you can go back any time and rewrite more. So even if your article has been live and published, you can always go back into the Rewrite area and it will present you with the remaining sentences that can still be rewritten.

You also should check your articles periodically to make sure the hyperlinks didn't get stripped out pre- and post- submissions

DaleP · 06-05-2009, 06:40 AM

Susan you have been a big help, however I'm pulling my hair due to one small thing...while rewriting the sentences, do you guys notice that you cannot see the last few charactes in the text box? ie. once your sentence is long enough to take up the entire length of the textbox and starts scrolling, I cannot see the last few characters so I cannot see what Im typing....driving me nuts. I;ve tried Firefox and IE.

Anyone?

He, he. Yup, same problem for me and I found it very irritating at the beginning. My solution was to open up TextEdit or Notepad and copy & paste the sentence to be rewritten to it, create my rewritten sentences in the text editor, and then copy & paste the new sentences back into the MAN interface.

Cheers,
Susan

Daniel McGonagle · 06-06-2009, 01:04 PM

The solution to that is to write shorter sentences, which also means you will be presented with more sentences to spin.

OR... just use your keyboard arrow key to go to end of sentence to see what's written there

DaleP · 06-08-2009, 03:43 AM

Matt, any idea when this will be fixed? It just seems like such a small thing to rectify which causes such a big inconvenience. It's basic GUI stuff which one would have thought the developers would have spotted and rectified by now.

Thanks cms and daniel for the suggestions in terms of getting around it...

In all fairness, how does this service stack up against LinkVana?

Quite well actually...

I had 2 subscriptions running at the same time LV and AMA and I tested both services with one page sites hosted on free wordpress blogs.

Some sites were linked to using strictly LV and some AMA.

- 2 months later only half of the LV links showed (25 out of 50) in the Y site explorer (they ranged from pr0 to pr3).

- 1 AMA article got me 24 links from sites ranging from pr0 to pr2 (in addition to that, surprisingly I still hold the number 2 position for "Spanish learning Mp3")

Anyhow, in the end I got the same amount of links from both services. One might argue that it takes the same amount of time to write one good "spun" article as writing 50 mini blurbs, but the biggest difference was the price and the fact that you can actually see what's happening with your article in AMA as opposed to LV.

IMHO if makers would include the directory submission function (such as the one in unique article wizard) into their tool it would become a one stop shop for many link masters.

Although myarticlenetwork helps to create many backlinks in a short time, but it doesn't tell you what blog your articles are published to, all these seems like a blackbox to me.

If you are trying to list for a long tail keyword, it is quite easy to appear on 1st page of google by using squidoo and any blog.

It seems that nobody has asked the question "how long can my website stayed on 1st page of google?"

The thing about seo is that no matter how good you are, the listing on 1st page of google is not guaranteed and you can lose your ranking anytime.

Therefore although SEO traffic is free, it's always unpredictable and you should not
depend your entire business on seo alone.

Kuma · 06-11-2009, 11:00 AM

The question I am asking myself as I don´t see any of my articles published (although accepted around 90% and now on MAN for about 2.5 months).
Doesn´t Google search blogs? That would be really surprising.
Or does the indexing process take that long?
I would really like to see what ranking these publishing blogs have.
The articles that were submitted to me in many cases have a very low quality and seldom do I see something that is really new. I think you really have to be picky about that point if you want your blog to offer value.

seolake · 07-01-2009, 01:45 PM

I think Matt may be the best person to answer this. There are problems of articles being published on sites that are sandboxed. So, these bring no benefits.

clubvikram · 07-02-2009, 01:08 AM

i have purchased matts myarticlenetwork recently.. and trust ne the product is awesome, you can easily rewrite articles, it is not exactly a spinner, you have to manually rewrite each sentence so the result is really good. the cost is mere $47 per month, so it is quite affordable

__internet__ · 07-09-2009, 05:14 PM

how many backlinks can you expect from one article submission on most of the categories? it seems like it's dripping in like 2 or 3 a day for posts, is this normal?

simonLC · 07-20-2009, 12:33 AM

With the assistance of MyArticleNetwork, we are now sitting on Position #1 for a major term, and it is converting like wildfire.

Axeman63 · 07-25-2009, 04:17 PM

Same here with 96% articles accepted (AMA) yet not seen anything coming back.

I really, really don't mind (in fact I'm hoping) that articles take a month or two to perculate through to backlinks. What gets me is if that's the case then just say so, Matt, any comments?

How many people write a few articles, see no reward for their effort and cancel within the month?

You guys that posted no links, have any come through now?

Adam,
I have responded to your Private Message two times. Please submit a support ticket at our support department here: Support Desk and provide your receipt and refund request. Or reply to the private message I sent you. If your membership was with AMA, then you need to contact them because that's not our service. Ours is for MyArticleNetwork.

This forum is not the place to request refunds or tech support. This is why we have a separate support desk for that. I just checked the support desk personally and could not find your request by searching for your full name or email address. So if you please PM me here or submit a new ticket we'll take care of it, just like we always do.

Thanks,
Matt Callen

Thanks for the input!!!

I have a few blogs linked to your network. However, as I was checking through some of the posts I have received, one of them had some very vulgar language. I had all my blogs set to auto approve, but have since changed them to email me for approval. Am I required to keep that post on my blog with the vulgar language or am I allowed to delete it.

War Room Member Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: NC, USA Posts: 383 Thanks: 32 Thanked 37 Times in 31 Posts	Re: Matt Callen's MyArticleNetwork My only complaint about MyArticleNetwork is that the categories are actually too narrow meaning that each category contains fewer potential sites to publish my article. I'd like to be able to submit to broader categories and then narrow those down if needed. I submitted articles for clients across 5 or 6 different categories and after a month the least number of times an article was reprinted is 9 and the most number of times an article was reprinted is 43. And I'm getting 30% to 50% acceptance rates across all categories so I don't think there's any problem with the articles themselves. You can submit to additional categories, but I think you have to rewrite the article so that it's completely unique in order to do that. I'm keeping MyArticleNetwork for another month and I'm going to try Syndicate Kahuna as well to see if I can get wider distribution.

Posts: 1,415 Blog Entries: 14 Thanks: 27 Thanked 189 Times in 74 Posts Social Networking Contact Info	Re: Matt Callen's MyArticleNetwork I was one of the first to join My Article Network (I got the bonus for being the first 25 to join on launch day) and have been comparing this against Unique Article Wizard, LinkVana, 1WayLinks and Backlink Solutions. The links obtained are somewhat anemic, and lacking LinkVana-style power, but with My Article Network you can limit your syndication to a set amount of "published"s or syndications...unlike Unique Article Wizard. I am finding the syndication limitation to be a good thing as it limits the number of "dupe spins" that are out there. Limit the number of syndicated dupe spins to 100...and you increase the chances of your links sticking... This is way better than the 1waylinks network which was just a bunch of linkfarm-style donor blogs( I'm still pissed I wasted 3 1/2 months with them) but pales in comparison (so far) to Unique Article Wizard. My Article Network is similar to Unique Article Wizard since it can have your spun articles syndicated on quality sites, but UAW syndicates on sites and directories, too, adding to the number of places where your articles are hosted, thereby adding value to what their service offers. Generally speaking, the more targeted your submissions are the better they'll perform due to being on relevant sites and or categories, so it's better to submit an article to targeted relevant directories and let the syndication build over time than to try to jam your "blogging article" category article into the "general IM" category. However, there is SOME value to doing Brute Force-style link building since it's easier to do but somewhat less effective than getting a few quality links here and there. The link building purists will tell you to get links from the highest quality most relevant sites, but how many backlinks do you think you're going to get that way? It'd take forever... and you won't get a lot of links... I tested long-tail, short-tail and everything in between with My Article Network with varying results. I just started getting backlinks from MAN for the blog post below... Awesome Blog Writing Tips -How To Post To Your Blog Often With Good Content - Online Marketing And Internet Business Advice Before I used MAN to link to it I was page 2 without links and a week and 15 or so backlinks later, it's moved from the bottom of page 2 to the top of page 2 and it will only climb. I submitted the article to their "blogging" category because it was an article about blogging tips, so it either worked decently due to the extreme targeting of the category I submitted it to or because of the non-competitive nature of the term. This post will most likely make it to page 1 and start competing with the Pr3 and 4 listings there. Do a search for the term Backlink Solutions... On page 1 you'll see either my danielmcgonagle.name site or my linkvanareviews.com site at the bottom of page 1 (trying not to put to many urls in here). To test MAN out I wrote 2 reviews on Backlink Solutions, one of the .name site and the other on the lvreviews.com site, and I even linked to the lvreviews.com site from the .name site. Then I published an article to MAN to get links to one of my posts on the lvreviews.com site to compete with my other site that is usually outranking it without any backlinks to it with anchor text.. So go figure, why would the post without backlinks be outranking/leapfrogging back and forth over the lvreviews.com MAN review post in the SERPs if the lvreviews.com post is getting more backlinks than the other? Because the links are anemic... OR because the .name site is such a well-SEO-ed site that its posts rank highly no matter what and will outrank other sites and URLs that are getting backlinks. It's really hard to create logical and efinite comparisons between the effects of link building services when using 2 different sites because there's so many variables to take into consideration, but that's the best kind of test I could think of, to write 2 reviews, both unique, let them get indexed and settle in the SERPs, then link to just one of them to see how the one with backlinks fares against the one not getting backlinks. I LOVE MAN's interface, even the laborious spinner, but Unique Article Wizard's spinner has the ability to spin words, paragraphs, and even urls, which is really cool since UAW has the tendency to give you TOO many backlinks in a short flurry of submissions. So spinning the urls in Unique Article Wizard seems to work really well seeing as how 4 of my sites show up on page 1 for the term My Article Network review as of right now. I use one article submitted to UAW to anchor link back to 4 DIFFERENT sites, and the article has been syndicated to thousands of sites and directories with a spin and a click (no exaggeration there, either, thousands with UAW). I'm finding it really hard to tell if this gets a thumbs up from me yet but #1- I am happy with the interface,the spinner and the article stats, views and what-not #2- The # of published sites is consistently corresponding to the 3 of pingbacks I see in my blogs' comments section. #3- There's a bit of freedom here to submit articles with aff links or even squeeze pages. As another way of testing MAN out to see if there's any real referral traffic being gnerated, I figured that I'd use MAN for list building purposes by writing quality articles linking to 2 or 3 of my squeeze pages from the articles...and I haven't seen much of an uptick in the subscriber buildup. If the subscriber opt-in rate increased significantly, I'd recommend MAN on that basis alone. So I've tested MAN a number of ways since day 1 and the jury's still out. Anyone seeing immediate bumps in their rankings due to using MAN probably saw results because their rankings plateaued due to only getting links from the same series of sites (EZA, isnares, etc...) for so long, thinking that using EZA for linkbuilding purposes was a good idea (it's not...). There should be some recommendations by MAN to site owners to Not post more than once a week so their sites getting free content don't become un-spidered junk blogs with way more outgoing links than incoming (little to no link juice). If sites in the MAN, AMA,1WL networks are posting too frequently the re-published articles may not get indexed properly, and the spiders won't be able to catch up, or deep crawl these sites won't find the content, and won't find the links to credit, too. THAT's why services like Backlink Solutions have inbred limits on their out-linking, and it's also why the consistently rotate some sites OUT of their network, because these sites will turn into mini-link-farm sites if they continue to get hammered with spun, dupe contet and linking outwardly all the time. THAT's why BLS and LV limit the # of urls per article/snippet, blurb to 1/article, too, and that's why those services work so well. Having a bunch of sites in a network published tons of articles very frequently and linking out 3 times per article will eventually hurt the network's effectiveness at some point, and the owners of these freebie-content-laden sites will be facing difficulties trying to rank well for anything when they're linking out 3 times per post 5 times a day or whatever. If something doesn't change here...if site owners accepting free content don't limit their outgoing links, then this service will be reduced in its effectiveness over time, maybe in a few months much like 1wl did. Also... If you submit to targeted categories, that is the best type of link you can get, from a relevant category and section of a site, right? So the more targeted you are in your category selection for article submissions, the more limited to are to a FINITE number of sites, right? So what happens if these same sites are linking to your new articles repeatedly? THOSE links become less effective with each passing link. You can't go to the well too often there... No link building service is perfect. MAN is decent right now, but I can't believe people are coming out with case studies and "proof" when they're not comparing it to the effects that different services are having or whether or not the effects are permanent...and because of the reasons I've listed above it can take 30-60, maybe even 90 days to see if the benefits continue on past that time period as the network decreases in value. Another suggestion for MAN is to have a feature whereby they suggest you limit your syndication to 50-100 sites per submission, then allow you to submit to 100 new sites with subsequent article submissions. That way, you're not tapping into the same sites and IP addresses all the time, and your articles aren't getting "snapped up: and republished on the same first 50-100 sites that have their accounts set to auto-approve articles. It'd be good to know that you will be submitting articles for syndication to different sites to enjoy the benefits of getting links from different IP addresses. I've seen pingbacks from the same sites multiple times and while not a huge cause for concern for me, this will still lead to a decrease in the linking effectiveness. MAN has 20,000 blogs in their network, which is a totally awe-inspiring number... so it'd be great to get the mos tof ouf their service by knowing that you'll have the ability to tap into this plethora of site by having an option to submit new articles to the NEXT 50-100 unique sites. Hope this makes sense and isn't too complicated... If anyone's interested, I spent a lot of time reviewing services at Link Building Services - Linkvana,BackLink Solutions,My Article Network,1WayLinks,3waylinks, NeuroLinker, NextGenLinks,,Article Marketing Automation

AskLoz, yes there's supposedly a dupe checker or uniqueness checker, but as the OP mentioned it's not consistent with what his dupe checker software comes up with. I've also noticed that some of my links get broken from time to time and I'm pretty sure that 18/24 articles I submitted that had linking errors weren't due to error on my part. Therefore there should be a link-checker feature that checks the articles for proper hyperlink-age prior to publishing and after publishing, too

One thing I'd like to mention is that these videos aren't fluff, B.S. videos, they tell you exactly what to do and how to do it. You get free content sent to your sites and permanent one-way links too. Matt, a couple of questions... is there a video on how to add a site to network using whatever that code is? Also, what are your thoughts about "leapfrogging" over sites that previously published our articles so the same first 150 sites aren't the one always published our articles? I'd like to know that I'm getting links from different sites and not just the same "first 150 who have their settings set to auto-approve". It would also be good to have a way of dictating the pace of the submissions so the articles don't all get republished/syndicated in 10 days but get spread out over a period of time. Also, MAN DOES send out links almost right away, there have been times when I'd finish rewriting an articles and 10 minutes later I'm seeing ping-backs from my articles being published elsewhere, just an FYI for everyone else

Posts: 185 Thanks: 9 Thanked 5 Times in 5 Posts	Re: Matt Callen's MyArticleNetwork Dale, I'm not Matt, but can tell you my experience with re-writing my articles. First, when I re-write the title, I usually provide two or three extra titles in addition to my original title. This always results in my title being shown as more than 100% rewritten. Sometimes, it even says my title is more than 200% rewritten (just viewing one now that claims to be 211% rewritten). I have no idea how this percentage value is calculated, but if I can get a title rewritten percentage in excess of 100% by providing 2-3 additional titles, I'll continue with this approach. Second, for my article body, I usually rewrite at least half of the sentences. So when I start the process, if it says I have 36 sentences that can be rewritten, I keep going until it says I have fewer than 18. Sometimes I do more if the juices are flowing and I feel productive, sometimes I do less if I'm struggling and then I'll check the percentages and go back and rewrite more if I'm not happy with the result. I usually provide at least one and up to four new sentences for each sentence I rewrite. Some sentences I only write one alternative because my brain cannot think of another one. Some flow easier and I might provide as many as four rewrites, but almost never more. With this method, whenever I refresh the pages to review my article, it usually tells me that my article is 80% or more rewritten, sometimes even close to 100% or a little over. What I'll do is after spinning a batch of sentences, I'll go to the View option and refresh a few times to see the percentages I'm getting. If it only says I'm at 60% or so, I rewrite a few more sentences. I do that until my rewrite percentage exceeds 80% consistently. My articles currently have an acceptance rate of over 90% each. Overall rejection rate is 8% across all articles. I don't know if there is a 'magic' percentage to hit which gives the best results with the least amount of time, but even if a lower percentage would mean that my articles are picked up as frequently, I wouldn't really want an abundance of articles out there that are too similar. You may be able to get by with a lower rewrite rate. Keep in mind that publishers have the option to automatically reject any article that is not rewritten at least 30%. So if you are going for bare minimums, I would say that over 30% would be the minimum. I don't find it to be that much more time consuming to spin a few extra sentences and get a significantly better ratio, however. Hope that's useful! Susan

One more thing...I have set my article to be distributed 2 days ago already and still I have 0 reviews/publishes? Is there some sort of time lag before the article gets presented to site owners? ..and lastly, where do you view how many sentences there are? I can only see a word count when I click 'View' eg. "This preview of your article consists of 876 words."

Posts: 185 Thanks: 9 Thanked 5 Times in 5 Posts	Re: Matt Callen's MyArticleNetwork I've always seen my articles start to be published the same day I set them to go live. But I would imagine this is dependent on the category. If you select an obscure niche/category, there may be fewer sites to distribute your articles to. For the number of sentences, you only see this when you click to Rewrite. After you've rewritten your Title, and you move to starting to rewrite sentences, at the top it will say "Your article has XX sentences left that can be rewritten." This changes after each sentence is rewritten. What's nice is that you can go back any time and rewrite more. So even if your article has been live and published, you can always go back into the Rewrite area and it will present you with the remaining sentences that can still be rewritten. Susan

Posts: 369 Thanks: 0 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post	Re: Matt Callen's MyArticleNetwork Susan you have been a big help, however I'm pulling my hair due to one small thing...while rewriting the sentences, do you guys notice that you cannot see the last few charactes in the text box? ie. once your sentence is long enough to take up the entire length of the textbox and starts scrolling, I cannot see the last few characters so I cannot see what Im typing....driving me nuts. I;ve tried Firefox and IE. Anyone?

OR... just use your keyboard arrow key to go to end of sentence to see what's written there

It just seems like such a small thing to rectify which causes such a big inconvenience. It's basic GUI stuff which one would have thought the developers would have spotted and rectified by now. Thanks cms and daniel for the suggestions in terms of getting around it...

If you are trying to list for a long tail keyword, it is quite easy to appear on 1st page of google by using squidoo and any blog. It seems that nobody has asked the question "how long can my website stayed on 1st page of google?" The thing about seo is that no matter how good you are, the listing on 1st page of google is not guaranteed and you can lose your ranking anytime. Therefore although SEO traffic is free, it's always unpredictable and you should not depend your entire business on seo alone.

Kuma HyperActive Warrior War Room Member Join Date: Apr 2007 Location: Sunny places Posts: 143 Thanks: 21 Thanked 7 Times in 6 Posts Contact Info	Re: Matt Callen's MyArticleNetwork The question I am asking myself as I don´t see any of my articles published (although accepted around 90% and now on MAN for about 2.5 months). Doesn´t Google search blogs? That would be really surprising. Or does the indexing process take that long? I would really like to see what ranking these publishing blogs have. The articles that were submitted to me in many cases have a very low quality and seldom do I see something that is really new. I think you really have to be picky about that point if you want your blog to offer value.

I really, really don't mind (in fact I'm hoping) that articles take a month or two to perculate through to backlinks. What gets me is if that's the case then just say so, Matt, any comments? How many people write a few articles, see no reward for their effort and cancel within the month? You guys that posted no links, have any come through now?
