Hey everyone.

I'll admit, I haven't really been paying too much attention to the latest and greatest software platforms that affiliate marketers are using these days.

But it seems like a lot of people are talking about Article Marketing Robot.

I'll admit, I'm totally "stone age" in that I still manually submit all my articles.

What do you guys think about Article Marketing Robot?

Is it effective?

And does it work on a Mac OS?

Any experiences with AMR would be appreciated :)

Thanks AffiloFriends!

There are many members who use this software and have given positive feedback. You could also find some comments on AMR on these threads:

Yikes! Looks like I've got some reading cut out for me. Thanks, Michelle!

Hmmm... I've been doing more research and there seems to be a lot of debate between Article Marketing Robot and Article Demon.

Does anyone have experience with either of these products and could give a "thumbs up" or a "thumbs down?"

 

[sheepfarmer]

I have article marketing robot and love it. As you know it's main purpose is to give you backlinks back to your site but you will also get some traffic from it. In my opinion it will be a very good investment for you.

 

[cterao]

Thanks Sheep Farmer,

Does it have major directories like Ezine Articles, Go Articles, etc.? Or is it just a bunch of PR0 directories?

 

[sheepfarmer]

I just looked and they do have ezine, articlesbase, goarticles and some higher pr sites attached to it. You may have to manually sign up to ezine or use your same pen name/user name with AMR not sure as I do not use articles that will get published there.

I used it and here's my result:
- 3 of my sites got kicked by Google (got wiped out from first page). 2 of them get back, but one remained down
- I use it on my 2 other sites, it doesn't give any effect. Visitors doesn't go up or down
- I check out several pages in Yahoo Site Explorer and found very few backlink (even after 800 success submission with AMR several months ago)

Maybe I did it wrong. I submit 30 articles/day for each article (usually with 50% fail rate, so it's 15 submission). Sheepfarmer, how much do you submit/day?

Clayton, I saw the result of your experiment (blog network+manual submission). It looks better (traffic is steadily goes up, not going up and down abruptly like mine), but subscribing to 3 blog networks at once cost about $200/month. Quite expensive for me. Do you think they're worth it?

 

[sheepfarmer]

On average I will submit 100 a day depending on how many articles a week I am putting up on my blog and how difficult the keyword is to rank for. Every new post on my site is going to get a shot of AMR.

I also have the plugin PingBack Power installed on all of my sites and when I get a few hundred+ pingbacks I get some backlinks to them.

I am not looking for a fight here but how can you say it was AMR that caused your site to drop off of page one?

 

[stefan1601]

The three that went down are my newest 3 websites. I did try 100/day at the beginning, so it maybe too much backlink at once for a new site (or maybe it's just the Panda). Then I reduce it to 30/day.

You didn't have that problem with 100/day?

 

[sheepfarmer]

The newest site that I have ever tried it on was about three months old and I set it at 60. Like I said average 100 day. I have some set at 60 and I set some at 80 every 10 hrs, some at 120 and once in awhile I just blast it and send them all. AMR is not all I do, they get forum profiles, bookmarks, blogcommenting and whatever else I can find so if one of my sites were to drop in the rankings (and I have had that happen) it would be hard for me to lay blame on just one form of backlinking.

 

[cterao]

Hmm... Interesting. Seems I started a big debate here.

I guess what I'm most curious about is, do either of these programs **successfully** submit to top directories like Ezine Articles? Currently it takes me about 20 - 30 minutes to manually submit to about 10 directories. If I could get the software to reliably do this, then it would save so much time :)

Stefan, in my experience, blog networks seem to be worth the money if you combine it with other forms of linkbuilding. I tried just blog networks on their own and got disappointing results. However, when coupled with article directory submissions, rankings really picked up in a way that neither blog networks or article submissions alone could do.

I think blog networks are worth it if you have many websites. Otherwise the cost probably isn't worth it for just one or two websites.

 

[jmpruitt]

Hey Clayton, EZA has shut down their ability to accept auto submissions so you will still have to do them manually. They still have several thousand smaller article directories, and it can be beneficial to get them done although like blog networks, the value is in the volume that you submit. if you do a lot of submissions it is worth it, but otherwise its really not that great.

I do 1-2 articles a day myself set to 100 submissions/day.

 

[cterao]

Thanks James,

I'm not surprised to hear about EZA. I guess they're still doing QA / QC to recover from Panda.

But that's okay. They are important enough, that I would probably still manually submit to EZA.

I think I'm sold on giving it a try.

Thanks again for the input, everyone.

 

[n0thsa]

Hey Clayton, I might be a bit late on this. I use AMR as part of my link building strategy, but it doesn't effectively submit articles to all of the listed directories on it. It's still good if used on drip feed along with other methods like SEOLV, AMA, UAW and manual stuff.
I'd recommend it, but you'd probably still have to manually submit to places like EZA (I still do to the other major ones as well).

Also James mentioned 100/day submissions. I'd probably wouldn't go over that though. I used that for mine, and 2 ended up in the sandbox (whether AMR had anything to do with it I don't know). So I've dropped it down to 30-50 now. Only a smaller % of them actually are successful too.

 

[jmpruitt]

the high failure rate is actually why I set it so high. set at 100/day, only about 20-30 of them are going live. thats not enough links to put you in the sandbox. the people who get sandboxed for agressive linking are doing hundreds or thousands per day. but there may be other reasons why you got sandboxed. not sure without looking at it all together.

 

[n0thsa]

Hmm that makes me wonder then, because I wasn't getting more than about 40-50 a day. Oh well I guess I'll keep going with the backlinking and see what happens.

 

[cterao]

Whenever I use UAW, I always set the distribution limits very low. Maybe only 5 - 10 per day. I don't know yet if AMR is similar, but I think that even if many of the submissions are not successful, it is best to have a slow drip-feed of backlinks appear over a longer period of time.

 

[aditd]

No.
For me it's good to have an employ ... but after he finish the work you do it again ... that is no value!

 

[julius1]

I've been using Article Marketing Robot for the past six months for the site http://www.saybasic.com. Am one of the promotional itemsc onsultant for this company. At times the site ranks only at page 8 for my keyword when i use AMR from pag 11. AMR is useful though. I want my site to be on the first page. Any ideas to share with that at least could help the site rank well. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks

 

[jmpruitt]

hey Julius, although AMR will help you get more links,. you should be doing other things as well. I actually use my links from AMR to build links to my links more than to my own sites. For example, I will set up web 2.0 blogs and link from them to my site. then I will submit articles to AMR that link to those Web2.0 sites. I submit an article to them whenever I do a guest post on another blog, and I submit articles to them to build links to some articles on other sites as well, as long as they have a link to my site.

[johnsonmick76]

Well not sure why many of you recommend this. I have use this before but, I never felt good about spinning articles and blasting them over hundreds of directories. I choose few good ones which are okay for me.

 

[yoginisharma77]

Yeah I think its okay using AMR because I have used it many times and it has done be good on ranking.

 

[mooresanyo]

I head this software an submit to 400 to 800 article directories within few minutes. Is this true and is it safe?

 

[lizatailor23]

The developer has not given up on it. In fact, they are getting ready to release a new version (tons of people are testing the beta). If you want article directory links (like myself) then you NEED to get AMR.

 

[xtrememc8]

AMR is worth every penny. People dont get good results from it mainly because they don't spend enough time on writing good articles. Instead they just copy a bit here and there over the internet and throw all in AMR and then hope the best.
