How Article Announcer works

After you fill in your article once into the ArticleAnnouncer software, you then go to the directories list and choose which directories you want to submit to. You are taken to each directory and given the opportunity to have ArticleAnnouncer save your login info if the directory requires a login. The software will then automatically fill in all the fields that have recognized names in the  program.  The submission goes fast and you can submit as many articles as you want as often as you want.

Even some professionals who have been submitting articles for years have told Jason they learned plenty of new tips from ArticleAnnouncer. Included in the price are updates and membership in an article think tank plus an Article Announcer owners only blog, which continuously provides you with new techniques.  That's important because the methods used for the best results in article marketing are constantly changing.

Jason also includes free to new ArticleAnnouncer owners, the use of his add-on feature called MyArticleAnnouncer. In reviewing the original 800 owners’ comments and wish lists, Jason revised the program last fall to include as many suggestions as possible. It also offers an easy solution to several major pains involved in article submitting.

Firstly, They offer article URL’s for all your articles. Most article directories require one but putting your article on the website you are directing people to is often seen as duplicate content by search engines and can cause a problem. Having an off-site URL solves this problem.

Secondly - there is an autoresponder function on MyArticleAnnouncer. Both of these functions are integrated into the Article Announcer software, making it very easy to get the URL and AR addresses to then edit into your article before you start submitting. The third function of MyArticleAnnouncer is giving you an email address which you can use for submitting, if you wish, to any directories that send a lot of “junk” mail. This keeps it out of your main inbox and all you have to do is go into MyArticleAnnouncer and delete the emails you don’t want every day or week.

With Article Announcer I can input the articles, use the tools to optimize them and make my selections letting the program do all the work for me.  And of course once I have all my options set in the application, all my other article submissions will go much faster, leaving me to spend my valuable time on other important business tasks ...you gotta love good software!

Why I Use Article Announcer

Before I used Article Announcer I hated submitting articles because of the amount of time it took  For example, one of my weekly tasks was to write an article for my site and submit it.  This process often took me several hours depending on the article.   Once I completed the article I would gather up all my article submission sites and directories and start the submission process.  Even if I had the article written for me, I still had to go through the process of submitting each article. 

I wasted a huge amount of time during the submission process because I often ran into problems like registration and email confirmation errors, I also would run into sites that no longer accepted articles which I typically didn't realize until after entering all my information, aarrgghh!  

With all those problems, it wasn't unusual for the submission process to take 3-4 times as long as writing the article itself, and sometimes my articles ended up on pages in directories that weren't even indexed in the search engines!

Using Article Announcer changed all that.  Now I simply enter a few pieces of pertinent information, click a few check boxes and it takes me through each article site automatically.   It even remembers my article sites login and password.   What use to take me hours, now takes me about 30 minutes and my articles are submitted correctly to as many sites as I wish.   There also highly recognized article directories and article lists included with the software, of course you can also add your own if you wish. 

The last article I wrote took about 12 days to get over 272 instances published around the net, giving me that many backlinks to my site. I continue to use article announcer and each time I use it my website gains significant more traffic.
