Article Marketing Robot – testing/case study

by Daniel on September 21, 2010

in Article Marketing Robot

You can go here to read all about Article Marketing Robot and what it does:

Conclusion/recommendation is at the bottom of this post

URL #1- Ranked Page 6 then page for a term that had “settled”…meaning it was ranked where it’s gonna rank forever, unless more MLM-ers get SEO-savvy and make competition more difficult…  :)

Page 5 the day after the first wave of articles went out, and WAYYY too soon to tell what kind of effect there’s going to be.

NEXT DAY: Page 2 bottom

NOTE: With Article Marketing Robot it’s best to wait 2 weeks for all your articles to be submitted before you try and “link up” your articles urls.  Do this once! saves time, also tells you  how many of these will get indexed on their own, how many don’t, and what kind of difference it makes when you index your backlinks urls (vs. not trying to index your backlinks).

URL #2 - Ranked #14 for competitive term (HINT: It’s gonna be my new site for the kinda stuff I write about here).

Started SERPs-dancing day after the first wave of articles hit.

URL #3 - Ranked Page 5, bottom of page 4 for mlm program name.

Was already page 1 for program name scam and program name review, fyi..

Submitted an article last night, Page 1 this morning, #8

Testing Stopped, here’s the reality of all this….cutting to the chase here

  • Is Article Marketing Robot recommended, yes
  • Is there a discount for it on this site? Yes

The Caveats…what you need to know

With AMR you’re submitting to low quality article directories, but also submitting to 100s of article directories that WILL and DO accept your articles.  This means lots o flinks per submission.

The onus is on you to spin your articles as best as you can to get more out of your submissions

The links you get from each submission are numerous, many of these links will give your destination urls a great boost right away, but eventually the boost slips away, due to the articles not remaining indexed for too long.

On the plus side, AMR has some backend features that allows you to find your articles and the article urls so you can do some backlink boosting to ensure that your articles, and the self-generated links on these articles, get and remain indexed.

Get Article Marketing Robot even if you don’t plan to automate the indexing of your backlinks (although I highly recommend that you do that so no effort is wasted)

Hi Daniel,

I am trying to use AMRs free trial but the confirmation e-mail is not coming through. I am concerned about paying the full price, as I might run in to the same issue. Is there any way of contacting this guy?

Cheers,
Seamus

Hey Daniel,

Do you ever worry about the eventual ineffectiveness of spun content? When Google finally creates an algo that eliminates spun content won’t it make obsolete all of these directories and sites that AMR and similar software post to? I’m thinking that because of AMR’s success that thousands of people are now using it to submit to a relatively small number of sites. Do you think that eventually most of these sites will be “overrun” with lousy, unreadable crap articles and thus be made irrelevant by the aforementioned, inevitable Google algo change? Now, I’m not arguing that you may or may not see temporary, positive changes to your ranking by using AMR but if you are building a site that you want to be around for a long time would you recommend using tactics that may be less temporary? Maybe I’m just being paranoid but it’s prevented me from seriously getting into spinning articles for mass submission. I’d appreciate knowing what you think about the wide use of spinning and it’s eventual impact on the search engines. Thanks

Larry, great question. yes it will be more difficult as time goes on to get the spintaxed, spun articles and content valued/credited/indexed etc…. but as for right now it does work, still. One thing to remember with SEO is that things change somewhat frequently. A link easily obtained eventually ends up having less to little to no value, like what happened to social bookmarking links for seo value.

What will happen in the future? I can’t really say, but there’s a reason why the spinning tools get more advanced, and why there’s more services, and more of a need for services that will boost and index links, know what I mean?

The first stage was spun articles got indexed en masse without much effort,
Then they need some boosting and indexing/re-indexing
Then the spinners needed to do a better job

At some point you’ll have to create spins that are varying lengths, rotating anchors and paragraphs, rotating different destination urls and so on….

AMR is definitely a useful tool. Vince updated it recently. It’s good but it still has bugs. To me Live Links is its best feature. I worked with Vince a litttle bit to point out a few bugs in his last release. He accessed my computer remotely and fixed some bugs.

It’s a great tool but Live Links certainly does not report all, or even the majority of the links. I pointed this out to Vince and showed him some specific examples. Also, the software throws exceptions and bombs out in the middle of some of my submittals.

If Vince can get LL fully working that would be great.

That being said, it is still a good tool, well worth purchasing. As Vince gets more of the bugs ironed out, I’m sure it will be even better.

Hey Daniel,

I really respect your work and I was hoping you would be able to answer this question for me:

What is the best way to boost the backlinks you get in your Live Links report?

Thank!

Hi Micah and George (above),

There is no BEST way to do this, but there are several recommended methods and tools to boost these up.

Here’s some ideas:

Take the livelinks, make a yahoo pipes rss and/or hostmyrss rss feed out of it
Use RSS Submit to submit these urls to some aggregators

Put the livelinks urls into LinkLicious to get them crawled and hopefully indexed
Put the livelinks urls into BacklinkBooster.com
Put the urls into some energizer clusters.

Or take the urls of all the livelinks put them into yahoo pipes and another on hostmyrss, then send some xrumer blasts to those 2 feeds…

Lots of things to do here, what you want to do all depends on your niche, the quality of the spun articles in AMR, stuff like that

Micah B February 4, 2011 at 4:56 pm

Awesome, I went with creating a feed on hostmyrss (cool site) and submitting that feed to some aggregators (I have RSSbot). Also, I used the free version of Linklicious.me.

Thanks!

George February 3, 2011 at 11:44 pm

Great question, I would like to know that too :) an article about it would be great.
I know that it we’re supposed to build an RSS or something and submit it but I really don’t know what to use since I’ve never done it before.

George February 7, 2011 at 2:12 pm

Hey, it’s me again

I’ve been looking to LinkLicious and BacklinkBooster.com. My head is spinning a little bit since this is the first time I seriously read about indexing and crawling backlinks but I think I am on my way to fully understand these concepts. I will probably get it 100% when I actually start using these services.

Another question is this: don’t LinkLicious and BacklinkBooster.com do mostly the same thing or can I use them together to create even more buzz?

From what I see, the real value of BacklinkBooster.com is in the PRO membership (there’s really no comparison between 5, 20 and 6000 backlinks per day). Do we get a 25% discount using that code from this website (meaning $30 a month)? That would be really cool!

Now, about Linklicious I’m thinking of using the Basic membership, it looks like a pretty good deal for $14.50 / month.

I really want to automate the process as much as I can so I can focus more on finding niches and building some more websites. Limited budget though, so I have to choose what is best in terms of time and money.

So what would you say about AMR + LL Basic + BB.com PRO? Can you see a better combination at this point?

Thanks a lot! (I’ll also figure out what those energizer clusters are soon enough, I can bet) :)

Hey Daniel,

Great post as usual. I’m a firm believer in IP diversity, and if IP diversity really is the key to rankings, is there much point in me submitting new articles to these directories on a monthly basis?

I was just wondering if you regularly submit articles to the same article sites that point back to your same site, or if you’re using it each time on a different site.

I really do believe that once you’ve submitted to ezine articles for example, you’re really getting no more seo benefit submitting to that site again.

What is your experience with multiple links coming from the same domain, albeit on a separate page?

I’m still planning on using this tool, but I’m toying with the idea of submitting articles linking to a web 2.0 site/BMR blog post next time, to boost the power of another link?

Cheers,

Rich.

Richard March 16, 2011 at 9:27 pm

Daniel,

One more thing I forgot to ask. How many 400-500 word articles do you have written and combined before you spin them. Do you write 3 unique articles, combine the paragraphs and spin the synonyms?

Cheers,

Rich

hey just wondering if anyone else has this problem with AMR.. Every time I use it, my site disappears. It’s still indexed somewhere in Google but it will go from page 1 to nowhere at all for weeks and weeks. Anyone else have this issue with AMR? Do you have any recent case studies to report with AMR Daniel. Maybe I’m doing something wrong. I do send all of my articles in one wave, but Google can’t possibly pick up every one in one day so the link building process should still be natural. I also heard that after the new algo change in Google, they are discrediting article contents with links in them. You think this is true?

By the way, this is one of the best sites on the net Daniel.. the info you provide is sooooooo helpful that its ridiculous! lol :-)

Interestingly, I’ve seen this happen to my sites for the past couple of weeks when using UAW. I’ve not isolated it to UAW but it seems like a strange coincidence when they drop just after pushing the send button. I do drip mine out slowly though and suggest you do the same.

Google is very aggressive with crawling new content and active blogs so it will find your links.

Daniel April 3, 2011 at 6:05 pm

Dave, thanks for the feedback and question…

I am holding off on making new posts until after the Boston Marathon, but one thing I’ve seen that’s worked before, and seems to still work now… is interlinking articles to each other.

AAS had a feature like this, but with AMR what you might wanna try doing is submit to less directories, get those livelinks reported back to you, submit article #2 to those live urls, then on 3d pass, see which of the submitted articles seem to be doing well (indexed and/or ranked for a long tail) then link those up as well…

Basically, just use AMR for layered, tiered linking …link articles to each other to develop better, albeit fewer links to money sites

Hello Daniel! First, thank YOU for spreading so much quality information. I would pay 100′s if not a couple of 1000′s for these kind of information … seriously :-) The last time I purchased a 1997 $ SEO course from a very well know SEO guru was a total waste of time and money … I wish I could come here earlier. I have so many questions and some results too – most of them are .. What doesn’t work (anymore)! And here we’re talking about article marketing… I have some issues about spun articles – they just don’t seem to be unique to search engines filters and other filters as well. I used The Best? Spinner. I had each sentence in an article in 4 versions and in each sentence almost all synonyms changed … basically, I totally rewrote them. And then the testing… I heard Squidoo and Ezine have great filters.. so if I pass them, I’ll be maybe passing mr. Google right? At Ezine I posted 2 versions, the other I also manually rewrote a little – to be really sure – the second was not accepted at Ezine… At Squidoo I created 3 lenses in each – one spun article… they all become RED, because of duplicate content. Then I made 3 blogs with spun articles… All in the ranking’s almost right one after another… But only before Panda … Now it is just one…. I also used some Software to check out the uniqueness – The Best? Spinner shows me they are 100% unique and the software.. 5% unique… So, how to spun articles… I don’t know if it’s possible anymore??

PS: I would so much like to buy AMR, but what if these things work no more ..

Thank you Daniel!

Miha, you said you have The Best Spinner, and that you used the option to re-write each sentence, and then to pick each synonym in the all the different versions of each sentence. Then the Best Spinner can take all that info and put it into “spin-text” for you. You can take that “spin-text and put it into AMR. Because you are doing your spinning this way your articles will be very effective while you use AMR. For those “non-programers” out there AMR is the best automation tool available.

Miha June 13, 2011 at 6:46 am

I ve also purchased AMR through Daniel and must say it’s a powerful tool. I’ve noticed some improvement’s in rankings from page 5 to 3 but I was expecting to get better results because it’s an uncompetitive keyword. Now I am trying to get those articles indexed …

Hi Dan,

I am really happy to study all this here. My next SEO services and Tools will be purchased via your affiliate links here. Great job, you are the authority in this niche. Generally, I am still waiting on an update of LB, as duplicate content seems to be not the right way anymore, but you still recommend it highly. As for the discussion about indexing, I use ultraseobacklinks . com , and for 8$ they work on 1000 urls, what is reasonable, and the index rate for even profile links is pretty good around 30-40%.

Reply

Daniel June 6, 2011 at 12:36 pm

Tine, thanks for the input. LB is still highly recommended because I’ve found better ways to use it, and just haven’t had time to reveal the “method” yet, suffice to say that an additional resource is needed to make it work better, and it has nothing to do with indexing, but with getting another type of link to same urls that LB is getting links to. Once I’m 100% sure this works I will post an update

SEO Content Network June 10, 2011 at 11:09 pm

Cool, how is the testing going with LB and the other type of link?

Hopefully its working out well.

I am already a member of UAW, Article Ranks, Article Marketing Automation, Free Traffic System, Linx Boss, and SEO Link Vine.

Does this software send my articles out to different sites than any of these services?

MMJ July 7, 2011 at 8:35 am

I’ve got this AMR now and I’m pretty impressed so far. Yes there are some glitches (I’m getting some errors but usually I can just click through them) but all of the automation is very impressive… and the spinner is great – in some ways it’s better than Magic Article Rewriter (which has been my main method of writing/spinning articles for over a year) although one thing that MAR has going for it is the ability to export in different formats… I don’t think AMR can do that. (this is a great feature because it lets me write/spin one article for lots of different article marketing services.)

I really like the “URL’er” feature because that will let me use this to link to my links very easily (ie I don’t have to spin a ton of links by hand.)

AMR had some horrible problems with recaptcher and deathbycaptcha recently. Captcha solving currently only works with the BETA version which has a lot of bugs right now.

Use AMR to build articles for your tier 1. Then a throttled bunch or blog comments, profiles, web 2.0, etc. to those articles and you will see definite ranking jumps. Be sure to use a good indexing service like linklicious, etc.. If your articles a spun well, you will see serp jumps.

Courtney August 26, 2011 at 11:31 am

Derrick, thanks for the post… Do you create a rss feed for your articles from your live links, and then use the rss feed for the blog comments, profiles, etc. or are you just building links to each article url separately?
