Introduction
Generation of Backlinks is a challenging
task for the success of every website. It not only improves search engine
rankings but also traffic thereby generating more revenue through various ad
programs.
There are various ways to crate backlinks
but distribution of content to various popular article directories provides
natural traffic to your websites. Moreover, these directories are accessed by
different people and your website and content will become popular over a period
of time.
It is practically difficult to manually
submit articles to various article directory sites. Hence, there is a need for
an automated tool such as Mass Article Submitter, which has a unique ability to
submit different versions of your content to various directories.
The software has been developed using .NET
Framework and it ships with an ability to automate registration and e-mail
confirmation. I hope that this will drastically save time to enable web masters
and writers to concentrate more on content development.
In order to get start with the product you
need to create a profile by clicking either Magic Article Submitter Wizard
button or Manage Profiles button located on the Toolbar. A window as shown in
Figure 1 will be displayed on the screen and you need to provide personal
details and e-mail settings. The product will make use of this information
during the creation of accounts and for automatically activating e-mails.

In order to work with the product you need
to create a new email address and setup email forwarding from your hosting mail
account using IMAP. You will find the required steps which have to be followed
for this process by clicking the link above MailBox Settings option.
The product will create accounts in the
respective article directories as soon as you proceed to the next step. The
wizard will display the statistics and progress on the Log box as shown in
Figure 2. I was able to successfully register with 662 article directories. I
also noticed that the registration engine is powerful than other competing
products.

As soon as you complete the registration
process, the system will start activating the e-mails by downloading it from
the server as shown below
Figure 3
I found that the activation process stops
if you click on any other window on the screen. I hope the vendor will look
into this problem during the release of the next version. The software will
begin email activation as soon as the messages are processed and will display
the progress as shown in Figure 4. Moreover, you can add additional directories
to the database by selecting Manage Article Directories option from the
Toolbar.

The software only activated 341 article
directory accounts at the end of the activation process as shown below
Figure 5
The product displays a data entry screen as
shown below, which you can use to create articles.

As you can see, it is possible to spin the
content by wrapping the relevant words as indicated. This will create unique
articles randomly and helps you to avoid duplicate content or similar articles
across various websites. The software also displays a small preview of the
article so that you can correct any errors before submission of articles.
Moreover, the product is integrated with Magic Article Rewriter with which you
can spin the content.
The next step is to select an appropriate
category under which you need to submit the article by searching keywords. The
product automatically displays a set of categories and you need to select one
of them as shown in Figure 7. However, I would prefer to pick the predefined
set of categories from a list rather than doing a search and hope that the
vendor will include them in the next version of the product.
Figure 7
The product includes an article scheduler
which you can enable after selecting a category. You have to select the day and
time as shown below
Figure 8
The next step is to submit the content to
various article directories by selecting Submit Articles button located on the
Toolbar. I was able to submit the content to few article directories and
majority of the site status displayed the message as Skipped. However, the
vendor informed me that this is an issue with the selection of categories. I
hope that once you get familiar with the product it will be easy for you to
submit articles. Moreover, you can directly interact with the developer through
e-mail if you have any doubt regarding the functionality of the product.
I found that the product has a very powerful
article submission engine but it takes little time to understand the usage. The
vendor provides excellent support through e-mail and also provides no question 60
days money back guarantee in case if you are not satisfied with the product.
From my point of view, Magic Article
Submitter is a tiny piece of powerful software and will be useful for internet
marketers and authors who want to submit content to various article directories
in a minimum amount of time.
