UAW The worst membership i got

7 replies
If you are going to buy the membership of UAW then i will suggest you not to be impatient.

I joined the UAW membership about 10 days ago and still had not got even a single article published. The interface really very poor and confusing. You can do the same thing by many ways and get different errors from each way. Till now i had send them my articles about 6 times and they had reject each of them. They ask for 1 article and 2 rewrite version. Then when you submit them after so many confusing options they will contact you after 1 or 2 days and will say that following error have been found in your article. When you resubmit them they will again send you one mail after 1-2 days that they had found one more error. After 3-4 times resubmission they will give you a Big news "Your article was not readable and looks more like advertisement" after 10 rewrites of submission and 7 days you are left with nothing. I send 2 new article then they come up with few more different issues and when i corrected all of them they are now not responding. If after spending 67$ and 10 rewrites you are left with nothing after 10 days then i think its a total waste of money and more importantly time. I think they built that confusing interface so that they can waste up few days of your membership.

The main points to look about are :
1) Poor interface (so confusing with lot of different option to do same thing).
2) POOR customer care they rarely came online.
3) Very high response time they manually check every article and respond after 1-2 days.
4) Poor error reports. They tell your errors one step at a time so that they can keep you busy for whole week for removing 2-3 errors.

    Interesting... I've got a dozen or so friends who do really well with their SEO and they all swear by UAW.

    Maybe it's not the long running - highly endorsed service that has the issues...

      The problem is they submit to many content farms which Google does not take to kindly to anyways.

      UAW is now a viable alternative again. It has beneffited by owning it's own network of sites, and the fact that 75% of "open" article sites have vanished or closed for submissions in the last 10 months.

      This means they have beneffited hugely by the falloff in results other products have.

      But the GUI.

      Man - it's about the worst. Confusing, unresponsive laggy (it's 100% online and VERY slow) 4 ways to do the same thing, all bringing different faults.

      Better to have one GOOD way that's optimized than give the illusion of choice by havoing 4 ways that lagg like hell and fall over if you press the wrong button at the wrong time.

      Noel has a great network, It's now 100% viable again SEO wise after spending 18 months struggling against APs that submitted to hundreds of "open" article site. But now those open site have largely been closed, UAW has got back in the game. - but the GUI is about the worst I've ever come across (and - this is a cliche I know - but I've used just about every network going)

      So come on Dr Noel, give us an offline GUI so pressing the back button at the wrong time doesn't delete 2 hours work and we don't have to wait 45 seconds after adding a version of an article for the response to come back saying it's accepted. (and if you press a button during that 45 seconds thinking it's stuck - who knows what you've done - a good chance your work has gone bye-bye again and you'll need to start over AGAIN)

      UAW - A good SEO product again - with a frankly awful interface.
      Worth the money if you've got the patience of a saint.

    Not necessarily. Let me draw from my experience with the tons, tons and tons of articles that I have submitted to UAW.

    I have seen articles in the form of "we do this, we do that". And articles take the name of company XYZ and then start talking a lot about what company XYZ does and does not. That's the stuff UAW will not accept. That's how to get your articles rejected.

    What you want is to take the area of XYZ and address the area. Rather than saying "XYZ is a great plumber because they do this and that", say that "a plumbing company is great if they do this and that". Then at the resource say, "looking for a great plumbing company? Test out XYZ" - with the right hyperlinks. Don't talk about XYZ in the body.

    Try it, and if that does not get your article accepted I shall be very surprised indeed.

    EDIT: Let me know if you need me to take a look at your article. I shall be happy to help you. I could provide you the guidelines on exactly how to improve it so tht you can do the actual improvement and submit the article (and get it accepted).

      It was about a government project launch. The most worst thing is that they list errors step by step, cant they tell tell your article have 3 issues at once ? You resubmit them wait for 2 days and they will send you a another issue, then again the cycle repeats. You know what it mean to waste 2 days waiting for a status report and then waiting again after correction.

    Although i'm not a member of UAW anymore (didn't see results), my auto-spun content got accepted without any problems.

    The interface isn't pretty, i admit, but there is also nothing complicated about it.
