Article Friendly vs. Article MS vs. ???

Now that Article Dashboard is no longer being supported, who's using what for article directories?

After looking around a bit, it appears that the most popular scripts are Article Friendly and Article MS. Are they any good? Lacking in features?

I have switched to the Article Friendly Pro version. It has all you the features of Article Dashboard with all the advanced plugins already built in.

Article Marketer and Isnare Articles Auto accepted
Mass Delete or Mass Approve Articles
SEO Friendly
Adsense Built in

The best I have been able to find without paying hundreds of dollars.

In my opinion, the best feature of Article Friendly is the duplicate content finder that should prevent you from accepting new articles if you already have the same content on your site.

When it comes to free scripts, Article MS is the best I have come across so far.

I think the real question is if any of these scripts can help your articles rank better in the search results. From what I have seen, it's unlikely. In fact, most articles on sites powered by Article Friendly, Article MS, or any other script for that matter are not even indexed by Google...

If you want the articles on your own article directory to be indexed and to rank well in the search engines you will have to do a lot more than simply buy a domain name and install a cheap or free script.

All the best,
