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.

If you want a team of dedicated witers working on your project, take a look at SEO CONTENT WRITERS. Their site is professional in appearance,though expensive. That and their site statistics suggest they are delivering good service. No free submissions are available. In the more affordable range is ISNARE. ISnare sends one copy of your 500 word article to hundreds of webmasters. Cross-posting is prevented. The difference between paid Platinum membership level ($59.95/month) and the free service is substantial. There are many additional perks for paid members. ISnare will surely give free members some traffic and a fair amount of backlinks and more for paid members.

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 a closed-door membership site/service where you will 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 is $7 first month then $47.00/month You will find that UNIQUE ARTICLE WIZARD has a lot more to offer with its blog, html sites, and article directories network. You WILL get hundreds or even thousands of backlinks per article here, plus a decent amount of referral traffic. Cost. $67.00/month and worth every penny.

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 network of blogs with about 1500 blogs in the network. They started out strong and I was initially pleased with their results but the quality of the sites was not maintained, too many of them turned into link-farm type sites, thus rendering their links as ineffective. This was disappointing because it was easy to use and only cost $47/month. They had a good support forum too. I am not recommending it now though.

Nonetheless, I have learned that it will be a lot less expensive and much more effective if you apply your own leverage and your own techniques to article marketing and submission. If you connect with networks that already exist and already are waiting for your articles it will cost a lot less than many of these other services mentioned. What works best in my opinion 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. It is best to create your own system. Mine is working well.
