Question About iSnare Article Distribution Service

19 replies
I just paid for 12 credits on iSnare to have my articles distributed to their article network. Has anyone had any experience using their paid services?

I am a bit concerned because I still have articles pending from January of this year that are yet to be approved. Of course these were just submitted as part of their free article directory. So is paying for their distribution going to speed this process up a bit or did I just waste my money and time?

    Those credits will speed things up greatly considering you are talking 8 months ...mine ususally take 7 days to be approved.

    Isnare used to be a good service, but their distribution is awful lately. I haven't submitted an article recently, but my last one too several months to get distributed, and I used the paid distribution.

    If your check the credit button to have your article distributed, it takes 7days. If you have submitted free articles without utilizing their credit submission, it can take you up to a month.

    Over the few years, Isnare has been very poor in terms of customers service as well as services generally.

    My only advice for you is, if you get stuck with them and you want your cash back, don't bother mailing them directly because they don't response instead send an email to 2checkout dot com. The online payment merchant you received a receipt of your 12 credit payment.

    It has worked for me several times thou i don't use Isnare them anymore due to their poor services.

    Have a nice day.

    I've never used isnare just because of stories like these. I did some researching on them a few months back, and it seemed like there were just too many problems. Apparently, if you're having issues with them, you're not alone.

    To me, waiting a few weeks is unacceptable when it comes to my content. I'm sure as heck not going to wait a few months!

    Yeah I wish I would have done a little more research myself before I paid to use them. Oh well, it was only $18 and it has only been 2 days so I will give them the benefit of the doubt...for now.

    I just saw that I had 11 articles pending from January and thought hmmm, I hope their paid service only takes 7 days like they advertise.

    Has anyone used them recently...say within the past few weeks or so??

    I have 4 articles pending since the end of april and I used credits! I have tried to follow up with them and they have never answered any of my inquiries. Also their site has posted technical difficulties (or updates or whatever they call it) too often. they were not quite this bad in the past.

    Of course I do not waste my time with them any more. There are other fish in the sea.

      This is really discouraging...

      So much for 7 days. Talk about false advertising. It should say, "We'll take your money and let your articles sit in queue until we feel like distributing them. It should take 7 days but since we are busy doing nothing it may take months, years, or not at all. Don't bother trying to contact us because we don't feel its necessary to reply since people still pay us to do nothing."

    yeah it sucks.

    you can check out Article Submission Service | Article Distribution Service

    i have not used it yet but I saw it recommended by Bill Platt (tpw on here) and I take his word for it. I will be trying it out soon. I read over their infomration and it appears they will do a "standard distribution" for $6, which is reasonable.

    They offer a premium service for $25, but i figure if your going to spend that much you would be better off using Bills service at Article Marketing Services: Article Distribution Services from The Phantom Writers Since 2001 for $35. of course you could do both, because they are quite different types of services.

    Anyway, I guess my point was just that the fastsubmit appears to be very similar to what isnare does and it is PAYGO like isnare. just a thought, maybe worth checking out

      Yes, FastSubmitArticles.com is very similar to Isnare, but better...

      Isnare lets its computers do all the work, after they approve the articles...

      Fast Submit uses real people, from I think the Philippines, to submit the articles and they do that work manually... Once you make the purchase and submit the article, it usually takes 4-7 days for the article to be distributed across the various article directories...

      After distribution is complete, they will give you a report showing you to which directories they submitted your article...

      The only downside to using Fast Submit Articles is that they are not creating a unique account just for you, but using their company accounts to submit the articles into the directories... You can identify their work by searching for the pen name, "General Wright"...

      I use their service at the $6 level and it has always been effective...

      Mind you, I use their service for my pen names, because there are those silly people who might suggest, "Wow... Why are you using the competition if your service is so good..." LOL

      But their service is so different from mine that I see both as a complement to one another...

      I hope Isnare hasn't bit the dust, because I still have over $100 in credits there that I was going to use one day... Glenn is a good guy, but he does frequently have problems that affects his service... He is not even answering my emails right now, so I am not sure the real problems he is having right now...

      I have used most of my competitors, simply to understand their systems, so that I could know the real differences between them and I, and so that I could talk intelligently about those differences...

      And I have always used my competitors under pen names, so as to not raise any eyebrows...

      There was a time when I was confident enough to refer people to some of my other competitors... Today, when it comes to the lower-cost article submission companies, I only feel confident enough to recommend FastSubmitArticles...

      On the more expensive side of the equation, I recommend Eric Gruber's service, Article Marketing Experts at: Get Published On Top Websites, Blogs, Ezines, Forums - For Less!

      Article Marketing Experts typically charges $500 per article distribution, but they have a 20% off special running right now... This is a fantastic service, but it is more for the real professionals in the marketplace...

      p.s. Suddenly after people learn about Eric's service, my service does not seem so expensive after all... LOL

        Hi Bill,

        FastSubmit is just as advertised. I submitted 2 articles last night and I woke up this morning and they had already distributed my articles...uhhh niceee!

        Can you tell me the main differences between FastSubmit and the services you offer?

          I just noticed your request for more info this morning... 2 months later...

          FastSubmtArticles sends your articles to article directories, about 200 of them...

          At thePhantomWriters.com we don't submit articles to article directories... Instead, we send your articles to "ezine publishers, webmasters and bloggers" whom we feel are most likely to publish your articles, based on the topic and nature of your articles...


          Submitting articles to Article Directories is a "passive advertising" method... You submit to the directory, then wait hope and pray that webmaster or blogger will visit that article directory, drill down into the articles on the site, find your article, and choose it from the hundreds of articles that met their publishing criteria...

          A lot of people like the article directory route, because they have little faith in a system that gives publishers free will and free choice... Article directories tend to publish any articles given to them, so writers feel that it is a safer approach for building links and an audience for their articles...


          We believe that Article Syndication, as we do it, is a more "active advertising" method... We send your article to the publishers whom we believe are more likley to publish your articles... Everyone still has free will as to what they will actually publish, but we give publishers the opportunity to look through dozens of relevant and pre-screened articles to help them find the ones they want to publish, instead of the thousands of articles that become available each week in the article directories...

          Since we make the process easier for publishers, more publishers are willing to open the mailings we send them, because they feel that we better match their article needs more often and more reliably than the other options open to them...

          Let's face it... Going to an article directory to find the precise content you want to give your readers can be very time-consuming... And if WE can cut through the muck for the publishers, they will be able to find the content they want and need more easily, which means they will have more time to take care of the other needs of their business...

          Our processes allow publishers to be able to trust us for giving them the kind of content they want to publish more reliably...

          Our prices are quite a bit higher than the competition, and that ensures that our clients will send us their "best quality content"... People are not going to pay my prices and then send me poor-quality junk articles... LOL It would be financially-inept to pay my prices to distribute an article that marketers use to "just build links"...

          We manually set up articles for distribution for our clients, because we want to make sure articles are always set up correctly, in a way that will ensure a greater likelihood of a publisher wanting to use the article...

          Then we manually select the publishers on our lists who will be most likely to publish the article...

          In our system, it is all about proper targeting -- sending the right articles to the right publishers, to increase the likelihood of publication...

          And it works well, because a lot of our publishers have large audiences.... Some of the ezines that publish articles we distribute have audiences of up to 3/4 million readers... And some of the websites that publish the articles we have distributed serve millions of visitors per month... The same applies for some of the bloggers who use the articles we distribute...

          Of course that is not to say that we ONLY serve the big publishers, but we have a lot of big publishers within our reach...

          I have heard stories from some of my clients of publication in WebMd, Wall Street Journal Online, etc. Those are the kinds of publishers who do not spend any amount of time in article directories looking for content...

          We reach big publishers and smaller publishers, but the one thing that stands apart in our publishers' list is the fact that most of the people who take articles from us are intent on serving their audiences the most appropriate articles, and as such, they serve attentive audiences...

          In a nutshell, I think that is what makes us special...

          We send the most appropriate content to publishers who have attentive and loyal audiences... And if your content matches the needs of the publisher, you could find your articles in front of tens of thousands or millions of attentive and responsive readers...

    Cool man, thanks for the recommendations. Exactly what I was looking for. Most of the stuff I submit on my own, but that can be time consuming and it is good to spread links to more directories when possible.

    I used isnare's paid service and it took over a week to get the articles posted. If it were a free service I wouldn't complain, but I find their paid service terrible. Why not just use ezinearticles, goarticles, associatedcontent, etc. - there are many better alternatives!

    ISnare sucks now. ArticleRanks is free and Im actually seeing results with it. I've spent a lot of money with isnare over the years they arent worth it anymore.

    I used isnare.com and had nothing but average results.

    I submited 1 article in their distribution service and got a total of 40 clicks on my resource box.
    Needless to say that eza can give you that same amount of clicks a day.

      Seems isnare is dead. A few years back I had good results with them. Earlier this year I submitted and article using credits.

      It was never distributed. After a few days the article completely disappeared from the isnare control panel. The support never answered my support request.

      Also they have broken links on their web site.

      Certainly not a place to spend any more money on.
