If you are a writer online, you will be using article submission services. Investigate which ones are the best ones to use for your purposes. At least this is true from an economical standpoint. It also seems true from the perspective of efficiency. Why put a lot of time and effort into an article that will get lousy distribution or supremely slow dispersal? Check out which ones are the best. This is an annotated list of popular and well recognized article submission services. There is no special order to the list but it includes these services: ISnare, My Article Network, Submit Your Article, Spin Distribute, Unique Article Wizard, Send Articles.com, My Way Links, Fast Submit Articles.com, 1waylinks.com, SEO Content Writers, and ArticleSubmissionServices.com.

ARTICLE SUBMISSION SERVICES.com has a sales page with typos and grammar mistakes. No thanks. I don’t plan to have them submit articles for me either. Their cost is not a deal. I can get better results for less. Cost – $20 to write one article and submit to 100 directories is not efficient. At FAST SUBMIT ARTICLES they write and submit one article to 352 directories for you for $30.00! That is not bad but it is expensive unless you wrote the article yourself and have them distribute it for $6.00. EzineArticles and several other highly regarded directories are included. No free submissions allowed.

ISNARE sends one copy of your article to hundreds of webmasters. Articles must be 500 words or more. They prevent cross-posting of the same article to multiple directories. Platinum membership level is $59.95/month and includes a lot of extra services and directories than the free article submission option. The submission and acceptance of articles is substantially different for paid members than it is for free members. You will get some traffic and a decent amount of backlinks. Another company worth looking at is SEO Content Writers. They have a very professional-looking site but they are expensive. It is reasonable to assume they are delivering the goods. SEO CONTENT WRITERS offers specialized content development and quality copywriting solutions for corporations. You can hire a team of writers dedicated to your project. No free submissions are offered.

SUBMIT YOUR ARTICLE is better than ISnare. It submits to EzineArticles and other high quality directories for you. It applies an advanced Article Leverage technology to enhance your listings. Cost. $37.00/month. Another network type of sites service is SPIN DISTRIBUTE. You get links from other sites in the network AND from other sources, like directories. They also offer to write, spin, submit, and syndicate 10 articles/month for $89.00/month, and that is a real value. There are smaller packages but no free ones.

MY WAY LINKS is like a closed-door membership site/service whereby you’ll only get links from quality sites. The network is small compared to what My Article Network and Unique Article Wizard have for network size. Cost: $7 first month. $47.00/month. UNIQUE ARTICLE WIZARD stands head and shoulders above these others with its blog, html sites, and article directories network. From your UAW articles you WILL get hundreds or thousands of backlinks here, plus referral traffic. It will cost you $67/month and believe me it is well worth the pennies you spend here.

Article Marketing Automation also known as MY ARTICLE NETWORK is a blog network that is roughly 10k-20k sites in size. This kind of distribution of original articles is great for backlinks and referral traffic. Cost at the time of this writing is $47.00/month. No free membership levels are available beyond a short trial. Remember a link from an article directory is only one type of backlink. You need many types for a good link building campaign. SEND ARTICLES.COM has a short sales page and sends articles only to about 100 directories. Cost for one article/month is $30 with no free level of participation.

1 WAY LINKS is another blog network service. Last I checked there were about 1500. It started out strong and actually helped a couple of my sites, but the network is no longer solid like it was and too many of the sites became link-farm style. That simply devalues the links. Not worth using right now. Too bad. At $47/month and a good support forum, I liked its operations. But not its longer term results.

Since I wrote this review, I have realized it is a lot less expensive and much more effective to apply your own leverage and your personal techniques to article marketing and submission. If you connect with networks that already exist and already are waiting for your articles it costs less than many of these other services. In my experience, what works best is to use either MY ARTICLE NETWORK ($47/month) if you are just starting a site, or UNIQUE ARTICLE WIZARD ($67/month) for solid power and reliability. Write your own articles or get some written where they have writers who specialize in preparing original content articles in UAW format. Use your time, money and talent wisely and fine tune your own system.
