One service I have been using for some time now is Article Marketing Automation which is a service provided by Daniel Turner & Marc Lindsay, however there is another service due to be launched on 15th April called MyArticleNetwork from Brad & Matt Callen, so before I do my review I need to clear something up……

Both Services Are The Same – You only need one of them NOT both.

To confirm the above I wrote to Matt & Brad and this is the reply I recieved back:-

Hi,

The two networks are actually the same.
MyArticleNetwork is a private label of AMA, meaning that they use the same
network of blogs/sites/etc. So the larger AMA gets, the more it benefits
MyArticleNetwork… and vice versa. So there’s no need to join both of
them. One of the reasons we’re able to do this private label is to get
a larger market share and increase the number of sites in the network
dramatically. This will in the end TREMENDOUSLY help EVERYONE using the
system.

Hope this clarifies it for you.

Cheers,

Matt

So there you have it, don’t go joining both OK….on with my review of these services.

In a nutshell, you are posting your articles to hundreds of blogs that are RELATED to your own blog or website to generate one way links back to your site.

There are several services out there that will post your articles to blogs to get links back to your site, and there’s not such thing as a bad link, but getting links back to your site from other sites that are in/or related to your niche will have far more impact on your search engine rankings, Google rewards you for these types of links.

A couple of features that I like is that you can add a video link to your posts, and there is an easy to use spinning option.

Spin Those Articles

I highly recommend that you SPIN your articles when using either of these services as there is an option for blog owners in the network to automatically reject any articles that aren’t at least 30% unique to the original article, don’t worry though, it’s very easy to spin your articles through their system.

Don’t Expect Overnight Results

Don’t think for one minute that your posts will be blasted out to all the blogs overnight, the way to build links is gradually, if you suddenly have a 1000 links pointing to your site Google is going to think you are upto something and slap your site down.

Both services post your articles to just 2 or 3 sites a day and gradually build up your links naturally which is just what Google likes.

My Opinion

If you have read any of my other reviews then you will already know I don’t feed people with a bunch of crap, if I think a service or product is a waste of money I will tell you. As for either Article Marketing Automation or MyArticleNetwork I highly recommend that you join ONE of them.

I can’t stress enough the importance of link building let alone getting RELATED links back to your site, and having it done for you on autopilot is just a massive time saver especially if you have alot of sites.

I don’t recommend this to people who maybe just have one site in an obscure niche as there probably won’t be enough blogs in the network to justify the cost. However, if you have many sites then this will just be right for you and will save you alot of time.

The network of blogs is going to dramatically rise when MyArticleNetwork launches as I know Brad & Matt sure know how to pull in the big numbers, this is just good news all round.

Test it Out For FREE

If you go to http://www.articlemarketingautomation.com/register you can test the AMA service for FREE for 7 Days, don’t expect miracles in those 7 days though, it’s just a good way to see how it all works without spending any money, and don’t forget to spin your articles by at least 30%.

You can also use the above link if you want to add your blogs to the network to have unique content posted to them, that part of the service is always FREE to use.

Don’t forget to subscribe to my list and I will show you where to get 500 word unique articles for just $3 each and a whole bunch of other useful and profitable techniques.

Happy link building,

Neil

Just thought that I would get this out to you quickly before all the “gurus” emailed you telling you life will be so much easier with this latest “software”.

Just got an email from Matt Callen about his new software Blogger Apps.

On the site they say:-

— The one and only, true “set-it-and-forget-it” system. —

Hhhhmmm, heard that before, LOL.

It goes on to say how much you can make with adsense sites blah, blah, blah.

Once you log into the site you are in for a big dissapointment, this “set and forget software” is nothing more than a semi-automated bookmarking platform, you CAN’T set and forget it!

The only thing that is set and forget is that you can choose to have articles posted to your blog, these can either be your own articles or articles from their other site SimplyPLR, which is the whole point of launching Blogger Apps, the hope you will pay the monthly $47 after your trial through Blogger Apps.

To use the bookmarking you have to set up all the accounts first and then go through them all to submit your links. Bookmarking is a VERY good way to get traffic but it is time consuming and it certainly isn’t the way Matt Callen would have you believe.

You can get the same “software” totally free here at http://socialposter.com, you don’t even have to subscribe to their list, it does exactly the same thing.

I’ve found a video which shows you how to use the site here:-

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1370270/free_social_poster_boost_your_bookmarking/

The free adsense sites they give you as a bonus are the only thing worth having to be perpectly honest, personally I prefer blogs to static sites but having said that, they are quite professional looking sites covering the following subjects:-

Airline
Anxiety
ATV
Bankruptcy
Bass-Fishing
Cooking
Dog-Breeds
Home Security
Immigration
Jewelry
Marriage
Movies
MySpace
Organic Foods
Soccer

All the above sites do come with 20 articles already loaded, all you have to do is upload the sites, I would however rewrite the articles. This is the only value that Blogger Apps really has to offer, and I think the above sites are well worth the $27, but there isn’t any “set & forget” magic software.

I am currently testing a couple of services which will do a whole host of things from posting content to Web 2.0 sites to automatically setting up, registering, confirming and posting to bookmarking sites COMPLETELY hands free!!

If they do as they say and I think they are good tools for you to use I will let you know real soon.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

All the best
Neil

Save your money, don’t fall for the hype and the sales page with all the impressive stats.

Google Annihilation is brought to you by Rob Benwell, the creator of “Blogging to The Bank” (which I don’t recommend either!), Google Annihilation is just a three way linking strategy, that’s it, it’s nothing new, it’s not a “loophole” or “big secret”, it’s all about getting oneway links to your site.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all for oneway links, ya just can’t get enough of them, the more oneway links you have then the better your site will rank, and I’ve used this type of system before.

On joining Google Annihilation you are hit with the usual upsell, this time it was for a SEO secrets monthly training which costs $29.95 a month.

In the members area there is very little, you just add a site follow some very weak instructions and upload a links page to your site.

The members area looks like it was thrown together, there’s images missing, there isn’t a help video in sight, or forum, infact there isn’t even a link to contact them with problems.

If you have bought it, try this email support@googleannihilation.com as I did get a response on my first email to them, still waiting in hope for another response though.

So will this help your site, a little bit but nothing like they claim, infact I totally think that this is some of the worst misleading crap I’ve seen in a while, here’s why…

Rob says :-

“Google Annihilation is my new underground members software I personally
use every time I create a new successful website or blog that will
bring money in automatically for years to come.”

Neil says :-

That’s crap Rob!

Firstly, if he has “secretly” been using this method to rank his sites then what sites have been linking to him? He only launched it the other day and you need hundreds and hundreds of sites in the system to make it work effectively.

I don’t believe the stats either, one of them says:-

“256,667 Visitors In 30 Days”

But if you look at the bar chart image that numbers ramp up from just 9000 right to over 12000 then dwindle down to less than 2000 in a space of 6 days. I can tell you that this isn’t from search engine traffic, those stats are from emailing a big list or paid traffic, don’t be fooled!

Rob also says that the doors will be closing etc, I could be wrong, but I doubt it, for this type of linking system the more sites in the system the better.

As for a site I have in the system, I am still waiting for any links to appear on my links page or sites link to mine! Does this work at all is anyones guess, there’s better on the market that isn’t hyped up.

I have personally bought two of Rob Benwell’s products, and I would never recommend them, infact I just don’t trust the guy, anyone can put up pictures of flashy cars and houses etc it doesn’t make a good product!

You can see what others are saying about this product at the Warrior Forum.

If you want high quality oneway links that is proven to work without all the hype, do yourself a favour and get an Article Automation FREE Trial.

All the best
Neil

I have covered a few different types of article generation software and PLR articles etc, well forget them, bring on ContentFX, you’re gunna love this to bits!

This will probably be a long review as I’m so excited about this service and what it can do for you, so I apologize upfront.

So what’s all the fuss about?….ContentFX will save you hours and hours of time and save you alot of money (it’s not expensive and I’ll tell you how to get it even cheaper later!).

How would you like an endless stream of unique content articles?

ContentFX generates content in a way I’ve never seen before, you simply type in the title of your aricle and hit “generate” and there it is, a completely UNIQUE article. If you want to generate another version of the same article, just hit generate again.

I generated over 30 unique articles within 20 minutes of joining!

I didn’t even have to edit any of them, I also submited a few to ezinearticles.com to see if they would pass their stringent rules etc, not a problem, they published them all, they were all quality articles over 500 words and I didn’t edit any of them.

Watch the video below to see how easy this is:-

How many backlinks, squidoo lenses or Adsense sites do you think you can produce through using these articles? BTW each article is over 500 words which you would normally cost between $9 and $12 to get someone else to write, and remember, these articles are unique to you alone, not 50 or 100 other people like you get with PLR content which you end up having to rewrite to make it unique.

Oh it gets better!….

How would you like your very own article directory added to your site where your articles automatically get posted to hundreds of other article directories creating hundreds of oneway links back to your money pages?

You can even automatically add content to your blogs, just tell them what subjects you want and they will post unique content automatically!

Watch the video below to see this in action:-

 So what are you waiting for? Get on over to ContentFX, at the moment they are having a 3 day FREE trial, if you upgrade within those 3 days they will knock $20 off your subscription.

I would love to hear your views on this after you have tested it out.

Happy article marketing!

Neil

Here’s some more news on Article Generator 1.0

 Well if you had read my first Article Generator 1.0 Review then you will already know that I couldn’t get it to work along with many other people, however, they have now fixed it and it’s working fine so I could actually test this software out.

Firstly it’s very easy to use, there’s no learning curve, you can just dive straight in and start rewriting articles to your hearts content.

Here’s what I did and the results I got:-

I first directed the software to an article I wanted rewriting, I then chose my destination folder and told it how many copies I wanted which was 10, you can actually choose between 1 and 100 copies.

I then selected “EXCELLENT” from the Accuracy Level, there are 7 levels of accuracy to choose from, Excellent is the best all the way down to Very Low, I then hit “generate copies” and within seconds I had 10 unique articles.

I then repeated above using the same article but this time I selected Very Low from the accuracy level.

So what did I end up with…..? hhhmmm!

OK, here is the first paragraph of the original article:-

Article marketing is still one of the best, if not easiest ways to promote your own site or affiliate site, it’s also a great way to get keyword targeted backlinks to your site to help increase your search engine rankings.

Now I won’t post the first paragraph of all 20 articles this software produced because it will make you head explode trying to decipher them all! Just of rewrites of the above paragraph should do ya.

These 2 paragraphs are from 2 articles from which had the Excellent accuracy level setting:-

Piece marketing is still individual of the best, if not easiest ways toward promote your own site or affiliate place, it’s moreover a great route toward get keyword targeted backlinks toward your site to help grow your search engine rankings.

and:-

Item marketing is still individual of the best, condition not easiest ways toward promote your possess situate or associate position, it’s moreover a prodigious road toward persuade keyword embattled backlinks toward your place toward help grow your exploration engine rankings.

Has your head exploded yet? Here’s 2 paragraphs with the Very Low accuracy level setting if you think you can handle it :-

Editorial selling is banish single of the finest, proviso not easiest habits toward further your individual position or partner spot, it’s and a famous road toward persuade keyword embattled backlinks toward your spot toward relieve boost your explore train rankings.

and:-

Condition advertising is dispel lone of the greatest, condition not easiest customs toward endorse your private place or link position, it’s moreover a important avenue toward grasp keyword beleaguered backlinks toward your position toward benefit escalation your examination train rankings.

WOW, bet your head is hurting now! LOL

I had hoped Article Generator may have been OK for newbies who didn’t want to spend too much until they got going, but sorry guy’s, save your money.

I can’t really see a purpose for this article software, yes I wasn’t expecting much, it was only $7, but unless you want to churn out hundreds of crappy articles to spam the search engines (which is a bad idea!!) I can’t see a real use, save your $7 and put it toward something like ArticleWizard or WordFlood.

I have already done a review of WordFlood , I will be making a review of some of the better higher priced article writing software such as ContentFX very soon.

Neil

The software in question is Article Generator 1.0, here’s the site I bought if from http://www.content-vault.com/articlegenerator so you don’t think I’m talking about a similar product. It was only $7 and I thought it could be good for people who are just starting out or don’t have the money the higher priced article generators.

After I had paid I was sent to the usual backend offers, but I never recieved any instructions on how to use the software, I did get plenty of advice on how to set up the templates etc for the PLR rights (cost me $27), but zippo on the software, weird…

I sent them an email through their helpdesk saying that I couldn’t get their software to work and that I can’t promote it until they get it fixed, heay, if it’s a new product it can have bugs they have overlooked or maybe it’s my own computer that’s at fault, who knows? Anyway, I got a full refund within a couple of hours, a big thumbs up for that! However I didn’t want my money back, I wanted a fix, I wanted to test the software, I don’t care about the $7!

You would really think that these guy’s would want to know what’s wrong with their software wouldn’t you?

If you have bought this software and actually got it working please let me know I would love to hear about it, but if you are thinking of buying it I would keep your $7 for the moment until I’ve found out if they have fixed the bugs.

Neil

If you aren’t rewriting your articles then you are missing out on a huge amount of targeted traffic not to mention affiliate sales!

PLR articles are a fantastic way to get targeted oneway links to your site for your chosen keywords, I can’t get enough PLR articles, they save me so much time and headaches trying to come up with different content or articles for my different sites.

I’ve just come accross a really neat piece of software that makes rewriting articles a total breeze, it’s called WordFlood.

WordFlood is so easy to use, just watch the video below for a demonstration then visit the site for a free 2 week trial.

You’re going to love this:-

See how easy this rewriting software is to use? This is a major time saver, WordFlood is just one of those “must have” pieces of software. I’ve churned out alot ot PLR articles these last couple of weeks and WordFlood gets a big thumbs up from me.

I really didn’t want to rant tonight but I have just bought Optin Voodoo FX and bought the usual “must have” offers, namely Sales Voodoo FX and Traffic Voodoo FX. Optin Voodoo FX looked pretty good on their site, seemed like a handy piece of kit, and it was only $64 (Platinum blogging upgrade) $37 normal package, so what the heck, I bought it.

Anyway, after my initial payment ($64) came the must have traffic voodoo and sales voodoo, well guess what, i bought those as well, geez, how could I refuse?! I was on a roll…honest…it had nothing to do with the overhyped sales crap…really…no kidding…LOL…and just to keep you on track, this cost me an extra $77.

 The story so far…I bought Optin Voodoo FX which is quite a cool list building widget (more on that later), Sales Voodoo FX which is tracking software and Traffic Voodoo FX which is a website builder…apparently.

Now Optin Voodoo is pretty good, but not great, I should have know just after I bought it that there were flaws in the program.

 You see, just after you pay for optin voodoo fx you are redirect to a page were you can buy the “must have” traffic & sales voodoo fx, however, where this super software/script was supposed to put my name, all I got was, “Hi {NAME}, can you see how awesome this software is, now buy the addons {NAME}” blah blah blah.

Geez what was I thinking, they even rambled on for about three pages why optin voodoo fx is so cool and why I would be a marketing, traffic pulling wizz with the upgrades etc even though their primary script kept calling me “{NAME}”, and they reckon that studies have shown that inserting someones name into a sales pitch increases sales and the people won’t notice the personal touch, which I can’t argue with. except I’m called Neil not {NAME} lol.

The “must have” traffic voodoo fx is supposed to be some awesome website generating software, I’ve messed around with it for ages and have come to one conclusion….total crap!

Sales voodoo fx is link redirection generating piece of kit, which I haven’t bothered to test but did play around with it, I ain’t impressed, or maybe I’m just sore I fell for the sales pitch!

Verdict:- Optin Voodoo FX, is OK but don’t bother with buying sales voodoo or traffic voodoo which is Sonic Page Blaster http://sonicpageblaster.com/ ($97) repackaged with a great sales pitch, but it ain’t a “must have” product like they would have you believe, so forget the addons there are better products on the market that do the same and then some.

It’s a shame these products doesn’t don’t deliver, I’m a sucker for stuff that saves my time or makes my life easier, who isn’t? But you gotta love they way they market the product, no seriously, I’m not kidding, go to http://sonicpageblaster.com then go to Optin Voodoo FX, they are both selling the exact same product, sonicpageblaster is the original, optin voodoo is the repackaged version, forget the price, who would you buy from? Who’s got the great sales copy?

I can complain all I want about their product but I give full marks to their sales pitch, joint ventures and backend products pitch, absolutely top notch.
