Suggestions? Good Article Submission/Spinning Software for Mac??

21 replies
I feel like I could be much more efficient with my article marketing.

I am a Mac user all the way, and I know that is possible to use some of the Article Submission and Spinning software out there by installing Windows on my machine, BUT I would love to know if their is something good that will work on my mac?

And, just curious, does anyone know why a lot of the top-notch article software is only created Windows operating systems? Why can't they be made compatible for both Windows and MAC OS X? I'm not a programmer so I'm honestly just wondering...

Thanks in advance for any feedback!

      I agree with James that online tools are the way to go.

      I'm sure there are other spinners that can run in a native Mac environment, but the one that comes to mind is Glenn Leader's Artifact.

        To use the best article rewriting tools like Power Article Rewriter and Magic Article Rewriter (my new fav), and for that matter any other PC software, just install Parallels for MAc. It turns your Mac into a PC and runs flawlessly in the same or separate windows.

        I have it on my iMac and can run any PC software. Parallels is a MUST for Mac owners and by having it, you will NEVER have to worry about what software you can run or not, or from where it runs.

        Also note, Magic Article Rewriter exports to several popular article submit (blog) netowrks likes AMA and MAN.

            No Parallels will only work on a Intel-Mac - PPC macs was supported only by VirtualPC 7 (and a few other slow programs).

    The problem with Parallels is that you still have to run Windows software. =

    And the problem I have with online tools is twofold: First, online apps are typically clunkier/slower than desktop apps, and Second, you have to be online to use them. I do use (and sell) online tools, but all things being equal, I'd pick a desktop app over an online app almost every time.

    To the original poster, the reason more marketers don't create cross-platform desktop tools is because they're apathetic or cheap. Because it's certainly not rocket science to get it done.

    And while I'm obviously biased, I consider my Article Architect (WSO) to be "top-notch article software" = -- but it's not a spinner or auto-submitter.

    Hey man, I feel like you have insulted mac users around the globe. Dont spin content, your putting garbage on the internet and taking away the opportunity to give another warrior a job.

    You can buy original content on this forum or DP for cheap. If you are spinning content, you arent doing it for rankings - and if you dont want to rank then you arent concerned with the quality of your website. I hate garbage websites that offer nothing - My advice, dont waste your time and money searching for a program that understands semantics better than a human.

    Spread the money around, this is a community of warriors you know.

      1. You have no idea just how wrong you are and before you talk about spun content learn a bit marketing first. Spun content does not = junk, this has been proven over and over.

      2. No spun content does not mean you are doing it for rankings. I am not even going to waste my time listings all the reasons for spun content because I have already done it 20 times on here.

      3. Learn that not all spinners are the same, some actually do work and require a "human" to control them - Meaning perfectly readable content.

      4. DP is a scam forum, I would not associate my name or my business with that so-called forum.

      5. I realize you are new so welcome to forums, please go do some reading and learning on article marketing, spinning articles and ect.. You will be surprised at what you learn all for free..

        You sell article spinning software. Common sense tells me to ignore you as you clearly have an ulterior motive in rebuking my comment.

        Lets settle it this way - Does Google want you to spin content?

        If you search for Gibson Guitar Review, do YOU want to read the same article written 8 different ways?

          No I do not sell software ... ulterior motive? - Nope, just plain common sense. Google spins content themseleves...lol

          Every single print and media company spins content and has been doing so for many years and even before the internet was released to the general public. Do I really need to prove this again!

          Please do yourself a favor and search, learn, and read this forum...

            Taken From Google Quality Guidelines
            * Don't create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.
            * Avoid "doorway" pages created just for search engines, or other "cookie cutter" approaches such as affiliate programs with little or no original content.

            I believe that clarifies what people need to know. Taken from google webmaster guidelines. And once again, because you did not answer my question previously;


            1. Does Google want you to spin content? (Ill help you with this one...See Above)
            2. If you search for Gibson Guitar Review, do YOU want to read the same article written 8 different ways?

              What you just posted has nothing to do with Spun content... I do not have the enegergy for this ... Maybe Marty S above there would like to educate you or maybe Jay himself would..

              I do not care what google wants me to do, this is my business not theirs.

          While part of this logic makes sense, theres a HUGE part of it that makes no sense at all - especially if the person also CREATES the software.

          I would think that I would actually want to discuss and listen to the developers of the software, take that data, and reach an informed decision.

          Why would you want to completely IGNORE someone who obviously has a lot of experience in the field your researching?

    It would take twice as much money to develop something to sell to a market only 10-15% as large. That's going to be the most typical reason.

    To program an app, you have to use a programming language. There aren't many that will let you write something that will run on multiple desktop systems. Java is one of the few, and writing Java applications brings with it its own issues. It doesn't ever quite look 'the same' as a 'native' app (one written specifically for windows or mac). Often it's a little slower. Some people don't have the correct Java system on their machine, and installing it is extra work. The list goes on...

    Writing a native app for the Mac would take roughly the same amount of time as it takes to write a Windows one. Sure, some of the logic is already mapped out (you know what the screens should look like and do, for example), but it's largely a 'from scratch' process. Given that the Mac marketshare is still only a fraction of Windows', most developers aren't going to target it.

    What they may be missing is that in some fields, Mac users are very adamant about wanting native software. So, while in field X only 5% of the potential Windows users might buy the app, 12-15% might buy it for the Mac. The numbers can and do work out in favor of Mac-specific software sometimes, but for many products it doesn't yet.

      Look now you are turning into a troll ...

      1. This thread is NOT about what you think google wants and you are being disrespectful to the OP for hijacking his thread.

      2. Professional copy paster ? I highly suggest you read the rules on this forum before you go any further because you are not going to make any friends around here by attacking well respected members.

      3. I do not copy and paste nothing, I write high quality articles and I also spin high quality articles that you could not tell the difference from the original to the spun. I have already proven that on this very forum. Many others have also proven they can use their tools to spin very high quality articles.

      4. Spun content is for way more than just articles. Just because you see 5 articles that look the same DO NOT assume we all spin articles the same way. You are making judgements on someone that you do not even know based on something else you seen. I suggest you get some education before doing such trolling tactics in this forum.

      I know you do not understand marketing or understand the power of spinning articles. I use my system everyday and will continue to do so because I can do everything right in one spot - create, compose, spin, submit, and etc... Many still fail to see the many uses articles have.

      Those that say they have no idea what 100 articles on the same subject is used for, you really need to read this and keep in mind the below is only a small example of what spun articles can be used for.

      I can take 1 article and spin it 20 times and then do the following:

      Use 1 to submit to article directories
      Use 1 to create a short report to build opt-in list
      Use 1 to create a video articles to post on How-To video sites
      Use 2 to create a squidoo lens
      Use 2 to create a hubpage
      Use 3 (the summaries) and post to 20 related blogs
      Use 2 to post to my blog
      Use 5 to post to the top 5 social networks that have a blog function
      Use 3 to post to news release sites

      Image what I could do with 100 or 150 .. You see I am providing 100% unique content for videos, squidoo, hubpages and ect .. Not all content is the same as it is spun "PROPERLY" ...

      For those that say they can spot a spun article a mile away I promise you can not when that article is used with the proper tool and is written properly. Those that say articles that are spun have no "feeling" -- Wrong again ..

      But I am not done yet .. I feel you need an education so here goes more information for you ...

      Spun articles - You do NOT need to spin your articles, please do not take my post the wrong way. This is NOT required but I suggest it for several reasons which I will list below. Before I do though let's please remember "Duplicate Content" is a myth, spinning articles have nothing to do with dup content.

      Spin articles for these reasons

      1. More publishers will pickup your articles and post them on their blog because they do like fresh content and not the same article that is posted on a million other blogs.

      2. Spinning the article will give you a better chance at targeting other keywords that you may left out of the original.

      3. Having different versions of the article posted on article directories, blogs, and etc looks more professional if you are trying to come accross as an expert in your niche. Posting the same article over and over and over just looks like blatant spam.

      4. Spun articles give you a great chance to create mini blog post, pdf docs, short reports for list building, and etc.. The uses are almost unlimited.

      5. We have no idea what the future holds and if you are posting to 50 article directories and have 50 different versions of your article then you are already prepared for what changes site owners or search engines may make a few years down the road. In otherwords it's best to be safe than sorry, if 25 of those article directories decide they no longer what dup content then guess what all your hard work goes out the window.. Unless ofcourse you was working smart and submitted spun articles.

      To the OP: I do not mean to hijack your thread and I am sorry some troll has decided to attack members and post unrelated garbage on your thread. My post is done with all respect and I hope it really helps educate some people.

    I use Mac and I have tested well over 1,200 article directories for 6 months. The problem is the way article marketing is taught by many is wrong. Article marketing is not about submitting to 1,000 adsense content farms that Google devalues.

    Spinning articles is optional but the way it has been taught can do more harm than good. Remember your articles do have your name and website attached to them.

    I use online tools for my article marketing and I do not submit to those content farms that are loaded down with adsense. I submit to sites that have no ads on them because Google does devalue your content when it is surrounded by ads.

    You do not need any article submission software so the fact that it is not created for Mac should not bother you.
