Article Marketing Robot - In pain, now looking for a remedy!

Is mass article submission worthwhile?

Is this software (Article Marketing Robot) giving typical results?

Here's the data:

1) I purchased the software about 6 weeks ago and I think I now understand reasonably well how to use it.

2) I signed up for all the directories the software has available.

3) I submitted a high quality article I wrote myself to the directories.

4) I pinged the final url's of each successful article submission.

Here are the results after 5 weeks:

-----

Total avaliable directories = 6,105

Successful sign-ups to the above directories = 3,882

Successful submission of article to the above = 2,296

Articles still pending approval = 1,675

Approved article following submission = 621

Article/Link showing up in google after more than 30 days = 197

-----

So is this mass article submission and software worth the effort?

Time investment so far: about 3 hours learning the software to a basic usability level, a couple of hours signing up, 6 hours confirming emails and re-running the software to get maximum submissions I could. So about a dozen hours or so in total.

So are my results typical? Is it a waste of time?

If there are any AMR users out there, please let me know if this is normal.

Many thanks,

Sam

    I have used it a little and had mediocre results.

    I don't know why the success rate of signing-up and then posting is quite so poor.

    But I guess every little helps on the linking and syndication. Whether it is worth your time though I'm not so sure. At least now it seems you know how to use the software, so that would save some time when you next do an article run.

    Personally, I tend to concentrate on web 2.0 sites and on the top 20 or so article directories.

    If someone could tell me how to get better results from AMR then I would start using it again.

    You need to track your keywords, has your position in the serps increased ? This can take up to a few months in some cases.

    Also, to get any accurate results you need to submit many articles to different sites.

    • Yea I don't think it's really worth it. The only reason I've hung onto it and not returned it is to use the spinner tool. Can't fault that.

    I think it is worth the effort. For starters you have 197 backlinks. That is not a bad start. Are they quality? That is what you need to ask yourself.

    You have already invested the time to get setup. Stick with it a bit longer.

    Besides, you want your links to build at a steady rate and have a natural appearance.

    It is true, Google doesn't penalize massive backlinks so as to prevent competitive manipulation, but I believe that they reward a natural looking backlinking structure whereas they may not reward a sudden plume of backlinks.

    Let us know how it progresses...

    This software works. It works well.

    Instead of just pinging the links, submit the livelinks to social bookmarking services for better results.

    Watch your ranking increase. The best backlinks are from the article directories that require manual approval, so as long as your articles are spun (don't exist anywhere else) and readable, more and more will get approved over the next few weeks.

    Auto drip fed links are always good

    As your backlinks age you should see some good rank increases.

    I'm getting the same problem.

    Submitted to 500 directories and only 24 successful submissions. Of those 15 are PR0 and the rest were PR1 & 2.

    I don't understand about this pinging business, can someone explain how I do this?

    Thank you.

      I've done really well with submitting articles that aren't spun but I started using it last summer and have seen gradual increases in backlinks and traffic.

      You are impatient, 6 weeks isn't long at all. A lot of the directories have backlogs of articles because they get overwhelmed with spinned articles or automatic submissions or both. Some directories are abandoned because the owners realise that it isn't as easy as they thought. There are also some niche directories listed that won't want most of the articles, best to blacklist those.

      Even when articles are accepted it doesn't mean that the pages will be indexed, but if that happens over time it looks more natural.

      You must have used the manual Captcha filler in. If you use one of the recommended services it doesn't take that long to sign up and confirm and it just runs in the background while you work.

      You won't get 100% sign ups for various reasons. If you are using a free email account the Article Friendly script for instance allows the directory owners to ban sign ups from free email addresses. The Captcha service won't be able to get past all of the different types of Captcha and some directory owners may alter the address of the sign up page or make the confirmation email link unclickable because they don't want people using mass submitters to use their directories.

      Is it a waste of time? You have 621 approved articles, it would take longer than 12 hours to submit to that many directories. It sounds as if you have only used AMR once, you will find that when you use it again it will take a lot less time to submit an article if you use the decaptcher service, less than 5 minutes to copy and paste and then you can leave it working in the background. Haven't timed it but it's less than an hour for each submission.

          Eric has a point. You've done the hard work and built the processing factory. Buy a de captcher subscription. Get 10 articles written for $30 - put them through TBS and submit them. In your case that is 2000 links. get the energiser plugin and backlink those article links and see if those 2000 are worth $30. Ok you have to buy the plugin and subscribe to TBS but it's a once off cost.

            Definitely not impatient. Other backlinking methods have brought quicker results that's all. I am just mixing things up a little.

            I got what you said, but did you read my post? 12 hours including training isn't push a button. Work isn't the issue. Results are.

            I will stick with it for a while because as you say, I have done the hardest bit - learning the software. I have and use TBS, but I hadn't heard of the energiser plugin. I will search for this, but can you shed any more light on this?

              Steadyon,

              I understand your concerns. I can't understand why the signup rate isn't better or why the success rate of submitting an article isn't better either.

              I can understand articles not getting approved straight away as that is up to the article directory in question.

              I use AMR and on the whole it is ok. Whether is brings tangible results in terms of ranking improvements I am not sure.

              I am tending to favor quality over quantity at the moment especially after the recent google slaps.

              Can anyone recommend sticking with AMR?

              Joe

                I tried the AMR for a while, but don't any more. I found that the number of links actually being indexed was bad. I found I got more indexed if I spread about the links around different pages, then linked back to the main page.

                Another thing that put me of, was the rate at which the article directories came and went. How long do you think your links will last, if you're signing up to new directories every week?

                Well, that's just my opinion on AMR, but if you think it works for you then fill your boots with it.

                    If that is so then all of those other sites that you are submitting articles to would get slapped for dupe content

    what I do is I save the report of the live URLs and upload them into backlink booster to increase the indexation rate. It seems to work well for me most of time.

      The software works hands down and I have not found, seen or used a better article submitter yet. The thing is in order to see results you need to consistently be doing submissions go for volume...

      I suggest to hire someone from the Philippines just to use the software to submit and then you outsource the articles or do them yourself so you can pump out articles.

        I agree, for me AMR has paid for itself many times over and all I've put through it is 175 articles in 8 months. I can't believe how quick it is, this morning I was using it and it submitted to over 3,000 websites in less than an hour. To be honest I don't check the stats in AMR, I check the stats of my websites and earnings instead. I don't care if only 500 get indexed because I know that over time more will gradually get accepted and then indexed, but even so 500 backlinks is still good going for a few minutes to set it going and less than an hour of it running in the background.

      Think of it this way. At $10 for more than 10 articles that isn't much and especially when you could make more from your articles. It would cost you more than $10 to pay a submission company and I'm sure that your time is more valuable spent doing other work on your business than manually filling in Captchas.

    Hi to all using the AMR.
    Once you get to grips with the thing it is the most powerful tool for seo on the planet, But you have to get everything right,
    Firstly register a PAID email address,
    I have noticed for some reason a domain name of 8 letters with no dashes will get the best sign up success, plus the start of the email address should be nice too. like 6 letters,
    Now I know that sounds like rubbish but try it a few times before you disagree,

    Thats sign up domain name done,
    NEXT

    Choose a password 8 letters, I say letters but go for 2 Capitals 2 small 2 numbers and 2 specials @: for example.

    When you choose your user name, Just think, they wont have 2 users with the same name, so make it unique, If your name is jack smith, have a user name jack11smith123
    No one cares if it does not look good, but this will increase the sign up success.

    Thats the best sign up approach.

    Now,
    Write your article or spin one up or whatever you want to do, use anchor text all the way through the article on all of the main keywords, thats it HTML in the body, Most dont allow it but watch.

    Title your article with your keywords, but consider that if there is already an article with the same title they wont accept yours, so make the title a bit different / a lot different.

    When you choose your keywords you can do what you like, Biggest keyword first.

    NOW very important,

    category
    this is the killer,

    what to do is to go to ezine articles and goarticles
    Once you are there, search out the categories that best suit your article, then put 6 - 8 categories in the category section of AMR, you will quite often fail on the category mismatch,

    So Phase one is complete, just do the sign up and confirm the emails automatically.
    I have noticed that it will not confirm more than 250 emails at once. so just keep doing it until your done.

    Then
    Submit the article,
    You have 5000 directories in the index "I may have added a few myself"
    you will get a sign up success rate of about 2900, but by the time you confirm you will only have about 2500 for some reason,

    Anyway, Submit the article to all, Bare in mind that most will fail due to HTML in the body, But dont worry, you will stil get about 600 700 with html in the body, "THIS IS HUGE FOR SEO"
    Once you have submitted to all that will accept it, you can then go back and edit the article,
    Take ALL of the HTML out of the body and just have the anchor text back link in the resource box.

    Now go to your robot submission page and look at the top right hand corner,
    there are 6 tick boxes, Uncheck all of them apart from OK and FAIL.

    So OK and FAIL will be checked and none of the other 6,
    Now press refresh, This will give you all of the directories that are live , but would not accept HTML in the body,

    No do the submission again,
    This will altogether get you about 1250 success submissions,
    To check what has been found by google search the article title with "article title" quote marks,
    You will see how many google has found, I mean its going to have picked up atleast 300 by the time you have finnished the submission.


    If you follow these steps you will get a huge success rate, and as for search engine rankings, you can get real results in not very long, I have got 9 websites now on the first page from number 1 - 10 for many many keywords.

    Honestly, I have even got a blank page that comes up on google search for a certain phrase,

    I have got first page for "flirtomatic" "fast flirting" "rekonnect" and many many more,

    All thanks to the robot.

    Never let it be said that the robot is a scam, IT IS NOT,

    Bets of luck to everyone with a head for it
    and Ill see you on the front page of google.

          I don`t know what you mean.
          In Google?

          if you mean google
          then Use 100% original material
          I mean 100% original,
          Its only 400 words like 15 minutes writing.

          Then I just start the bot up and
          sit and type in all those capcha.

          By the time its finished I have like 300 400 500 in the google index.
          I dont know How?
          It just does it,

          But what I did notice is that if you use a PLR and spin it,
          Google wont pick them up too good, If at all.

          I think the answer here is just write your own nice original articles.
          I don`t even make them interesting, I dont care, I just assume that
          no one will ever read it,
          It makes sense, its just not interesting, quickly wrote,
          All i want is the backlink.

          No word of a lie, a few days ago I got a page that turned up at number 20 on google for CYPRUS FISHING SHOP, And the PAGE WAS BLANK,
          All I had was links to it,

          Since I put something on it, It has gone to 12 with no more back links

          Content is not knig,
          backlinks rule the rankings

      When you say "use anchor text all the way through the article on all of the main keywords", do you mean that if your main keyword is in your article 6 times then you'll use 6 anchor text backlinks or should you only have anchor text links for a couple of them?

      Has anyone here used this method of anchor text in the article body and got results with it??

    I wouldn't expect much traffic from the articles - you use this tool for the backlinks. Even PR0 backlinks have value. The comment on making original content but not worrying too much about the quality is bang on. Original (and spun!) relevant content is what you need. But relevant does not have to be good.

    Come to think of it, I received an email two days back about one of my articles getting approved by an article directory.

    Trouble is, I'd submitted that article 8 months back!

    The site which the article points to has long been sold and is no longer under my control. It took that article directory owner 8 months to approve my article!

    I know its not typical, but article submission can take a lot of time to show results.

    I've never liked such automated software though, and I've slowly moved away from submitting to multiple directories. Now, I just put my article up on EZA, bookmark it, then move on. I never saw very strong results from submitting to dozens of directories in the first place, and it only left me disoriented, frustrated and tired. I now concentrate on building a cache of quality articles on EZA that will not only give me link juice, but also some traffic.

    Yes,
    Definite success withing the last month.
    I have a site 2 weeks old that is creaming the search results.

    Fair enough it is in a very low competition niche.

    Now Im anti clickbank,
    As far as I am concerned it is 100% scam when it comes to
    marketing tutorials and software.

    The AMR is the exception that proves the rule.
    Absolute beast of a tool.

    Do not doubt it.

    If you are worried about too many articles submitted at once
    then set the drip feeder with a decaptcher service

    Which ever way you look at this thing it is cheating.
    But If you play it by the book and I cheat, Who wins?
    Not You.

    I really have no axe to grind with this thing,
    I just have so much good feeling for it that
    I dont mind giving it a good word.

      Do you spin your articles?

        I do sometimes, But it depends,
        To really do a good spin job
        and make the article readable
        "writing was never my good point"
        I think that quite often it will take longer
        to spin than write a new one.

        Here is an experiment that I did.
        You try it
        this can make your time pay more benefit once you see the big picture.

        OK
        What I did
        I wrote a new article and I ran it through the robot
        "SUBMIT ALL NOW"
        Before I submitted the article
        I took the title to google
        I searched it
        "like this in the quote markes"

        0 results
        So then I bang the article out, 1100 successful submissions.
        may have been 1250 cant remember,
        Anyway, By the time the robot had finished doing its business
        google had got like 300+ results
        all my article
        it found 300 by the time it was done,
        within say 2 hours.

        NOW
        I get the same article.
        I change the title but keep the keywords in it
        You know its nice to have them in the url of the page
        at the article directory.

        So then I spin the thing, using the robots spinning tool
        and I did the same thing again,
        Searched google for the article title
        "with the quote marks"
        0 results,
        when the robot had finished submitting.
        Google only found 3.

        I think/Know google will not look at something that
        seems to be spun, If google wont look at it,
        Then there is no point in doing it,
        I know there is still bing and yahoo but they are
        tiny little things compared with google.

        Since then I started thinking that spinning
        is a bit of a waste of time unless you are going to do
        a complete spin rewrite, And if you are going to do that.
        Why not just write a new article?

      Has any of you guys and gals got any figures, for how many links you are actually getting indexed in Googles eyes, using AMR?

      Don't get me wrong; the software works great at what it does. But I found that hardly any of my links were getting picked up and indexed.

    Talking about the robot just made me have another play with it.
    I just found out "I was Bored" If you run an article and just keep
    pressing random letters and return into the captcha box it will
    still succeed in submitting to approx 1100,
    If you do all the captchas its 1250
    So you only lose 150, I dare say that the 150 are the HIGH PR
    directories so this is maybe not good advice. But if your lazy
    it works.

    the best bit is the 1100 that it submitted to show up
    as the ones that dont need captcha when you
    check STATUS OK box and
    SUBMITTED YES box.

    So keep those directories up in the main central display
    after you pressed refresh, and you can submit your next
    article to them without having to do the captcha,

    CLICK IT AND FORGET IT!

    the other thing im thinking now is that there are 500 captcha
    to type in for one submission, Yet only 150 of them benefit you.
    So does this mean that If you pay for the decaptcha automatic service
    that its costing 3.3333X more per successful captcha than you think?

    I just had a Major bad result.

    I spun an article a week ago for resellers hosting keywords.
    with a link back to a certain site that was at number 20 on google,
    slowly climbing to the top.

    Since I submitted the article the site has dropped to 44.

    Im sure that spinning articles is a bad Idea,
    If you think about it, when google looks for duplicate content.
    It wont be looking at the words you change, It will be looking at the
    words that you dont change.

    Im of the opinion that spinning articles is a dangerous business.
    PLR is a waste of time. Apart from being a possible good source of info.

    Im sure that anyone that pays very close attention to
    what they have done and the results over the following weeks

        I just write articles to a couple of directories
        I made some money just from submitting articles their and getting people to click on my resource.

        Trouble is it takes a lot of time to submit to article directories and I get frustrated.

        What do you guys think if I write a good article(without spinning) each day and use AMR to submit to multiple directories?

        Do you think I will get good amounts of traffic from people clicking through my articles on those sites that AMR submitted to?
        (Im not really into the serps thing but thats a plus)

        One extreme to the other here. I submitted an article yesterday using the bot and I have a site that just jumped from 9 to NUMBER 2 less than 24 hours after I submitted the article. Though this was a genuine original article,

        Im very sure that if people take note here and look at it as I am, we will all learn something very important about spun material.

          They said they always had trouble with the article directory passwords.

    I use AMR and I can safely say that it will give you a boost in the search engines. It's worked for my websites/keywords time and time again. Sure, you're article isn't going to successfully submit to all 6,000 article directories. In fact, sometimes I'm only able to get 1,200 successful submissions. Even if I only got 100 approved articles in the end it would still be worth it. Why? Because it literally takes me about 5 minutes (if you're using a captcha service) to do something that it would probably take me all week to do manually, submit my article to thousands of directories.

    I used to spin my articles before I submitted them with The Best Spinner. Yes, you get more approvals that way, but the time it takes to properly spin an article to a good percentage just wasn't worth it to me.

    Many will argue that the backlinks you get from using AMR are all PR0. This is true, regardless of what the PR of the article directory itself is. Say what you will about such links though, my search engine ranking stats don't lie.

    Most of your article submissions are a waste of time.

    From testing, this is what I've found:

    Write a REALLY HIGH QUALITY article and get it approved in ezinearticles.com ( world's top article directory ) still gets a TON of traffic and google love, check alexa.com for proof. Yes they have taken a dip but it won't last long is my prediction because they react very quickly to google updates.

    So after the high quality article you submit is approved, get the RSS feed and submit it to RSS directories. Tweet your article.

    Doing this for well thought out and strategic keywords for your niche seems like more work than pressing a button and submitting garbage spun content all over the web but what I just outlined for you will beat the method you are using LONG TERM.

    If you SPAM the internet, you CAN make money, but it won't last long and it's just crappy to do that.

    No, instead, if you forget the "magic bullet" cures and focus on fundamentals like what I just outlined, you'll find that your content has STAYING POWER, AND IF IT'S GOOD QUALITY CONTENT AND 100% UNIQUE, NO MATTER WHAT CHANGES GOOGLE MAKES, IT WILL ALWAYS BE THERE.

    hope this helps.

      That all sounds good, But in that case why dont you just get your really high quality article and put it through the robot,

      The robot will submit it to ezinearticles.co plus 1250 others,
      Combine your high quality content with the robot and you will pull
      the front page of google to pieces

      Hello Mate.

      No, I just do them all at once.
      I know that people say it is a bad idea,
      But I have tested on sites that I was
      not really bothered about and it seems
      that to submit them all at once will
      get quicker results than drip feeding.

      I can get like 300 articles indexed by google
      withing an hour of submission and my site will move
      up the rankings very quickly.

      I have been stuck at certain positions before
      then all of a sudden shot from 25 to half way up page
      one,

      I just think that google wants to see anchor text back links and original content.
      I dont think that it cares how it got there.

      I also dont actually believe that it will give you too much of
      a marking down for anything that is not actually on your site.

      I mean if it would reduce your position because of
      mass submission, or duplicate content,

      Im sure that would be bad for all, Because if it did, When You get to
      number 6, all you would have to do is mass submit duplicate content
      with backlinks to the competing sites to get them knocked down.
      Which would obviously be very unfair but considering how much money
      sits at number 1 on google, Im sure that people would do it,

      So to get away from needing hard identification with each article submitted
      google just dont bother too much about it.

      I hope that makes sense,
      I just woke up

    Hey Sam,

    All of this type of stuff is relative.

    You can get a lot of links done for you for the money you spend on this type of tool and ultimately tools like this are exactly the sort of thing Google doesn't want to see the output from. They don't mind duplicate content in the context of people sharing useful information but blasting out stuff just for links is in their targets and pretty much the lowest value type of link.

    So it's not the best way to get links - however, if it takes almost no time and you're pointing to supporting sites rather than you main domains then it can still be a logical part of your marketing strategy, but I wouldn't advise anyone to rely on this type of thing for their main website marketing.

    As some people have said - if it takes a few minutes and gets useful results then it may make sense for you.

    I personally don't do stuff like this that takes too much of my time and focus - if I think it's useful I'll outsource doing it rather than spend a lot of time on it.

    For the time you spent learning to use it - you could've done way more productive things, so since you've paid that price, if getting some benefit now only requires a few minutes here and there then you may want to stick with it, but definitely don't rely on it for all of your results.

    Just a quick note. If you're going to use AMR, make sure that you submit your article first to your own blog/website, then EzineArticles, and then AMR. If you submit your article to EZA at the same time you submit to all of the other sites then it's just going to get rejected from EZA . . . and I'd personally rather have my article on EZA than all of the other sites on AMR combined. So, submit your article to EZA manually first, then wait for it to be approved, and after it's approved submit to AMR. The importance of submitting to EZA first is traffic and syndication. You won't get that with 99% of the other article directories on AMR.

        Well when I confirm emails for article directories. On mines it keeps saying not responding and it like freezes so then I just let it do its thing(dont close the program) and watch television and 30 minutes later its done confirming emails.

        When I submit articles it works fine.
        But when I first open the program it sorta gets slow but then works normal.

    You're spending your time on the wrong thing. Mass submissions is a technique spammers use to fill the internet with trash and Google discounts MOST of those links so it's hardly worth your time.

    Here is an alternative that is sound and will be less work and pay you more money, simply follow the below steps to get started:

    step one: do excellent keyword research by using the google keyword tool and finding out which keywords have high competition, forget the traffic numbers for now.

    the reason you want to use the high competition keywords is because people are bidding on these keywords in google adwords because they convert.

    step two: So you take those keyword and you write one excellent 500 word article each day, 5 one hundred word paragraphs with the keyword once in each paragraph.

    step three: hand submit it to ezinearticles.com

    step four: go spend time with your family...

    p.s. if you are bent on using this software, send all your links to the article you wrote in ezinearticles.com, not to your site ... the reason is that Google is used to ezinearticles getting thousands of links a day, so there are no red flags raised. However, pointing those links to your site will raise red flags and you just don't have the PR to get away with a bunch of crappy PR 1 links. Google gives special treatment to high PR sites like ezinearticles.com, by sending your links to your article, you may slightly give it an edge over competing articles for the same keyword.

    However, if you want to still have a life, I'd skip the last step.

    ricocrownmedia is right, I have been trying to say this.

    Most of the spun articles will get filtered out and the backlinks will not be indexed.

    If you are going to use AMR, you need to think about massive volume, that does not take up much of your time.

    I found that for the time it took me to write, spin and submit; the results were not worth the effort.

    There are a number of article submitting sites to which you can submit your articls. Also some blogs do allow you to add your article to them if you sign up. But if you are doing this for SEO purposes then Google update has devalued these types of links. Also you should make sure that you don't submit the same article to a number of sites. Content should be kept unique.
