Hey guys,

I heard alot of mixed reviews abt Article Samurai but I want to give it a try and see how it goes, some users mentioned that I MUST spin my articles.. is that true?

I don't spin articles and I don't want to spin them..can someone confirm that you can submit the article as it is?

Thanks

    I would personally spin them myself only because spinning will help with the duplicate content filters of some services. Especially if they're checking against certain things like copyscape, etc.

    If you're writing them from scratch it'll at least expand your outreach.

    I tested the service when it first came out for 2 months on a low comp niche.
    You need to add in spun articles (or at least you did at the time) so they can send out variations of the article...

    I added on average 4 articles a day for the niche for 2 months and the niche never reached the top 30 and this was very low comp.. less than 19k

    Once i stopped using it i started to use web 2.0 / article dirs / social bookmarking and rss etc and the site then went to number 2 in a few weeks..

    So the results from article samurai were not too convincing.. never picked up and of the backlinks either for the posts...

      Isn't Article Samurai an article submitter? You simply continued doing what you were doing in the past

        Same here. I love the keyword tool, but haven't tried the article software.

        That's a shame. There was a lot of buzz when it was first launched. I remember almost signing up myself. Looks like I'm glad I didn't though.

        I suspect that the blog network they use is very low pr and they don't do any additional indexing like rss feed submission or mashing..

        doing web 2, higher article submission to article directories is different from blog networks.. so no it's not the same

    Thanks guys, so looks like I have to spin my article even tho it is unique..that is stupid I don't like spinning even if it will give me less backlinks..

    The reviews are mixed some users are reporting good rankings and others are not so I am not sure if I should get it as I have the option to get it now.. People said they are using AMR and UAW , I actually wanted to use BMR but the fact that I have to submit 10 articles to build 10 backlinks is alot.. even tho its 150 words..

    I remember I had an argument with TBInternetMarketing lol I was criticizing those sites since I think Google will catch up one day on them but now I don't have a choice.. I have scrapebox but I am kind of hesitant to use it...I don't submit auto comments..I tried manual commenting but its not working for some reason altho I leave related reviews.. my comments stay "awaiting moderation"

      I am an Article Samurai member and love the software - i can see my backlinks growing but what is puzzling me is i copied the title and then googled it and it's not popping up anywhere except my main article and pingbacks? Am I missing something here?
