Overview

*This is part of the big reason you should get this plugin right now.

The other part is that all the profits made from selling this plugin during the limited time it’s being offered for just $9.70 (regular price: $47) are being donated to asthma research. So, not only is this a great deal, it’s also for a good cause!

Videos

I made two different videos about the WPSyndicator plugin. The first one is basically a sales-video for the plugin that I made to straight-up promote it (by the way: affiliates don’t get a cut on this. ALL the profits go to charity). While I don’t usually post anything with a sales-angle here, the video can still help you understand exactly what this tool does:

The second video is simply a demonstration of how to install the plugin, how to syndicate a post and I also show you the results on a few of the sites, so you can see what exactly the Syndicator sends out:

Conclusion

The plugin does what it says on the box: It syndicates your posts, creating backlinks automatically. It does take a little time to set it up with all of the different accounts, but once that’s done, it really is a one-click solution. Bottom line: It’s probably the easiest way I’ve ever seen, for buidling a handful of backlinks and giving a small “SEO boost” to each one of your posts.

The low price and charity donations will end in the third week of July, so get in on this right now and help a good cause: Get The Plugin Here.

Cheers,

What is Web2Mayhem? That’s actually not an easy question to answer, because Web2Mayhem includes so many different things. One possible answer is to say that W2M is an all-in-one website promotion system. It includes automatic submission tools, a link-network and a syndication network, keyword research tools a link cloaking and tracking service and a complete step-by-step system for promoting websites.

Does this product deliver or is it spreading itself too thin? Read on to get the full details.

Overview

W2M is a system that has many aspects. Actually, saying that is still an understatement. Below, you find a complete feature list with a brief comment for each item. If you’d like to see some further explanations and more details, check out my Web2Mayhem videos.

Software

• Account Creator
  The Account Creator does what it’s name implies: You enter all of your account info (desired username, password, e-mail, profile-picture etc.) and this tool goes out to 97 different websites and creates accounts for you there.
  A great feature of the Account Creator is that it also uploads a profile-picture and a short bio to all the accounts where this is possible, giving them a human touch.
  –
• RSS Announcer
  The RSS Announcer will take any feed you specify and distribute it to 37 different RSS aggregators online.
  –
• Social Bookmarker
  This program can automatically bookmark any webpages you load into it on a total of 37 different social bookmarking sites like Diigo, Blinklist, Mixx and others.
  –
• Video Sharer
  This tool will upload your video files to a maximum of 17 different video sharing sites like YouTube, Dailymotion, Flyxia and others. Note that for many videos, it won’t make sense to submit to all 17 sites, since some of them are niche-specific and don’t accept videos on every subject.
  –
• Article Distributor
  This program submits your articles to 29 article directories online. Among the directories listed are Ezine Articles, GoArticles, Articlesbase, articledashboard and many more.
  –
• Blog Poster
  The Blog Poster is quite an interesting feature. The Account Creator will create profiles for you on 10 free blogging platforms like Blog.com, Blogger, tumblr and so on. The Blog Poster is the tool you use to submit content to all of those free blogs.
  You can use this to just submit the same articles you’re already distributing to article directories, but you can also make use of the free blogs in additional ways. After all, most of these free blogs allow you to insert links in the body texts, add pictures and videos and generally let you do a lot more with your content than what you can do on an article directory.
  –
• PAD Submitter
  This tool submits PAD files to shareware and freeware directories. Even if you don’t have any actual programs of your own, you can take an ebook and convert that into a PAD file for submission. In this case, you probably won’t get much attention in the form of people actually downloading the files, but you’ll still get backlinks from the websites where your files are listed.
  –
• Podcast Broadcaster
  This program submits your podcast audio files to 14 different podcasting sites. Again, this is something that can get you a lot of exposure and some nice backlinks as well.
  –
• Content Spinner
  The Content Spinner is a relatively simple text-spinning application. It lets you simply mark text you want to create variations for and then manually enter those variations into predefined fields. The program will then insert the correct spinning syntax for you (and you can even choose among four different types of spin code).
  –
• Keyword Corral
  This tool lets you import data from the Google keyword tool and filter and sort it according to what you are looking for. It’s a pretty solid tool and a good addition to the Web2Mayhem system, but it does require quite a bit of manual labour, compared to high-end solutions like Keyword Elite 2 or Market Samurai.
  –
• Web Page Analyzer
  The Web Page Analyzer will check some on-page stats on your site and compare them to the top listed pages for a keyword you specify. You’ll get a rundown of keyword densities, occurrence of the keyword in title, header and META tags etc. The tool can also be used to analyze competitor’s pages before you even enter into the race for ranking for particular keyword.
  –
• Note that for all the submissions that have captcha protection, you can integrate Decaptcher into W2M, if you have an account there (Decaptcher is a paid service).

–

Online Applications

• Syndicate Kahuna
  The Syndicate Kahuna is a network of blogs that you can submit content to. Similar to article directories and the free blogs, this is one more source of backlinks and traffic for your website.
  The only drawback is that you have to spin your text in order to get a good number of submissions (a non-spun article will not be submitted and the more you spin, the more submissions you are eligible for). After I plugged one of my blogs into the Kahuna and started receiving submissions from other members, I came to the conclusion that this is a big flaw in the system: Most of the articles I received were the kind of unreadable rubbish that auto-spinning software produces.
  –
• PAD Software Submitter
  In the W2M members area, you’ll find another PAD submitter which is separate from the desktop software one. It does the same basic thing, but submits to different directories.
  –
• Link Exchange System
  Also part of W2M is a very neat link exchange network. All you need to do is plug a script (or WordPress plugin) into a page on your website (this will be your links-page) and specify your niche. The script will then automatically create a list of links out to other sites relevant to your niche and in return, you get links back from other websites. The system makes sure that all the links are one-way and you get to pick the anchor-texts of the links pointing to your site.
  While links from link-pages may not be terribly valuable, the W2M link-exchange is the easiest and fastest way to get a couple of custom anchor-text backlinks that I’ve ever seen.
  –
• Collaborative Blogs
  As a Web2Mayhem member, you get the option to create mini-blogs on two collaborative blog sites. You can get your own category or subdomain on these blogs and have the advantage of your articles and links appearing on a frequently updated, aged, high-PR and frequently crawled web-property.
  –
• Web 2.0 Co-op
  This is a system that organizes the mutual promotion of social media content among the members. Here’s how it works: You can post “jobs” and see other members’ “jobs”. A “job” could be giving someone’s site a digg or a thumbs-up, rating and commenting on someone’s Squidoo lens or bookmarking a webpage for someone. For each completed job, you get credits which allow you to post your own jobs and thus get your own Web 2.0 content promoted.
  While you will never get thousands of diggs or stumbles just from the Web 2.0 Co-op, the system can give your content a great, initial boost that can make a big difference.
  –
• Redirect Kahuna
  This application is a link cloaking/redirection service that includes detailed tracking.
  –
• Keyword Research Tools
  Additionally to the offline tool (Keyword Corral), there are several online tools you can use for keyword research.

–

The System

If you look at that feature list and think that it all might be a little too much, you’re not alone. When I first saw how extensive W2M is, I expected the whole thing to be pretty chaotic and thought it would take me days just to learn my way around all the tools.

However, Web2Mayhem also comes with a step-by-step system and instructions on how to use it. The system simply runs you through several phases for promoting your website going from finding a niche and keyword to the initial promotion phase and all the way to the “maintenance” phase, which is when your site is ranking #1 in the search results and all you have to do is make sure it stays there.

If you just follow this system, you will be introduced to every one of the features of W2M one by one and there is a document and a video tutorial for each one.

Even though there is a ton of training material to go through, it is very well structured. The only thing I can complain about is that the video presentations could be better, but that’s really nit-picking.

As for the system itself: I found it to be very solid and fairly easy to implement. There’s no doubt that following this system will get your pages ranked. The system is nothing revolutionary in itself, it’s just that the W2M software lets you do a lot more promotion and link-building than you would ever be able to do manually.

–

So, What’s Bad About It?

I’ve been saying an awful lot of good things about Web2Mayhem so far and I’m starting to feel uncomfortable. I hate it when something I write starts looking like a pre-sale.

So, let me put my critic-hat on and tell you some things that could be improved in W2M:

• Flexible Account Management
  W2M has only one set of user-data per account profile. This means that if you already have an account on GoArticles that you would like to submit to and you have another account on articledashboard, but with a different username, W2M can’t submit to both those accounts from the same profile. You’ll have to create separate profiles or create new accounts with identical username/PW combinations.
  It would be nice if there was an “I already have an account here” option.
  –
• All Browser Submissions
  All of the submissions are done in an automated browser window. The only problem with this is that it’s a bit slow, at times. The system works quite well, though, so there’s me nit-picking again.
  –
• Automatic E-Mail Confirmation
  Currently, you have to manually go through all of your mails and confirm the account creations. No fun.
  There are tools that can automatically go through your mails and confirm them. From what I read in the W2M forums, they might already be working on such a solution.

–

Ratings

Fluff-o-Meter

Again, I’m always careful about being too enthusiastic about the products I test, but I really have to say that Web2Mayhem is one hell of a fluff-free zone. The training material gets straight to the point and the entire system is focused on getting results. There’s none of the “I made $X in only X days and you can too!” bullshit that you so often find with make-money-online stuff. It’s all abaut learning how to do things and then doing them. No filler.

Web2Mayhem: Fluff-Free Zone.

–

Spam-Factor

My inbox has not suffered much from signing up to W2M. I do get occasional mails and most of them are at least somewhat promotional in nature but, and this is a big BUT, they usually contain some really good value like webinar and interview invites (and those webinars and interviews are well worth listening to).

Promotion + value = list I don’t mind being on.

–

Scam-Scale

We can go straight to the synopsis-box with this one.

Nothing scammy detected.

–

Overall Rating

The core of Web2Mayhem consists of a very good collection of auto-submission tools and a solid, well laid-out system to follow for promoting your website(s). Just to be clear: You will still have to do work. To make full use of Web2Mayhem, you should ideally have at least one (better several) monetizable sites in place and be willing to write articles and make videos and maybe audio content on a regular basis.

What Web2Mayhem does, is take that content that you create and make the absolute most of it by spreading it far and wide across the interwebs. And if you’ve ever wondered how to best coordinate all of the different properties to which you submit content, you’ll find a very good answer to that in the W2M training manual and videos.

This is for you, if:

• You have money-making websites already and want to get more out of them.
• You know how to build and monetize a website, but lack the tools and/or knowledge to get them ranked in search results.
• You already create content like articles, videos or podcasts and want to ramp up the results you see from them.

This is not for you, if:

• You are completely new to online marketing.
• You have never created a website before.

To sum it all up, Web2Mayhem is a powerful system with powerful tools. Work with it and you will be rewarded.

Automation software for Internet marketing purposes: It’s all the rage right now, and has been for quite a while. There are numerous offers for programs that will automate all kinds of tasks from distributing articles, videos or bookmarks to completely creating or re-writing content (shudder). Look at a few discussion threads about automation software in a forum and you’ll quickly realize that bots are at the centre of many a heated debate. Some say that automation is all rubbish and never really works like it should and others swear by it.

In this article, I introduce three concepts that are essential to understanding the use and misuse of automation bots.

Disclaimer

1. I am an automation software user.
   I just want to make that clear since it might mean that I’m biased towards bots. I have to also mention that I only use bots for a couple of tasks; others I do manually. More on this in the article.

2. Redundancy warning.
   I decided to try making a video and written post. The written post says the same as the videos do. If you prefer watching, check out the videos. If you prefer reading, read the article below the videos.

Here are the three things you need to know about automation software:

–

There Is Always a Failure Rate

This is just something you need to be aware of, when you are using automatic submission software.

I bring this up because every so often, you’ll encounter someone in a forum complaining that the software “doesn’t work half the time” or something along those lines.

One part of the equation is how well you set the automation software up, one part is how well it’s programmed and another part is simply how many of the sites the bot goes to have changed.

Every time a website changes something in their layout or login/submission process or whatever, there’s a significant chance that the bot will get stuck on that site, somewhere. If you’re using a well-supported program, the next update will fix the problem… until the site changes something again.

This doesn’t mean that the software “isn’t working”. Automation isn’t about hitting it right 100% of the time. It’s about hitting way more and way more often than you could manually.

–

Value Output versus Effort Input

The value you get back from any kind of SEO or website promotion always needs to be looked at in relation to the effort you have to put into it.

If you can get a backlink from a really high-PR authority site in your niche, then that’s great. But if it takes you hours upon hours of work, spread out over several days or even weeks to get that one backlink, it might not be worth it at all.

The question is: What else could you have accomplished in that time? Maybe you could have added value to your website, built a free giveaway product to start building a list, done some personal branding or obtained half a dozen slightly lower-quality links in that same time?

On the other hand, you could spend days submitting an article to all of the hundreds of article directories out there, logging into twenty different social bookmarking sites and submitting your bookmarks, going to link-directories and submitting your URL etc. etc.
Here, the situation is reversed: You’re spending all this time for something that has very little value (e.g. nofollow links from a PR1 bookmarking site). If you could spend that same time to get just one really good link…

You get the idea.

Automation software can be used to shift this balance between the value of your promotional work and the effort you put into in your favour.

A bot can do low- to mid-value website promotion in bulk, running in the background. This way, obtaining 100 low-value backlinks from directories takes the same amount of time as obtaining just one such link (fill the forms once, then start the bot).

If used correctly, what automation software does is leverage your time. You take a certain amount of time to set everything up initially. Then you take a bit of time to get things started and once the bot is up and running, you can get exponential returns on that initial time spent.

You’re Still the One With the Brain

The more automatic a software tool is, the more easily and moronically it can be abused. Despite what countless sales-pages would have you believe, automatic software is not the solution to all your Internet marketing problems and it most certainly doesn’t do all the work for you.

These programs are simply tools that make your job easier. The quality you get out of them depends greatly on how you wield these tools.

If I give you a chainsaw, you won’t suddenly have lots of firewood readily available and trees won’t fall as soon as you approach them. But turning a tree into usable firewood will be a lot easier with the chainsaw than if you had only your bare hands or an axe to use. You still have to know what you’re doing with that chainsaw to get results, though.

Admittedly, the ridiculous overpromises littering sales-pages for automation software are at least partially to blame for the fact that in the online marketing landscape, there are quite a few people standing next to trees, complaining that they aren’t falling by themselves even though they have all those shiny new chainsaws at home.

Reviews!

As you can imagine, I have some reviews of automation software coming up in the near future. I’ve been experimenting with several programs for quite a while now and I’ve been seeing some very interesting results (and non-results).

Stay tuned!

And this concludes my video-series on article spinning and spyntax (for now).

Would love to hear what you thought about these videos. Of course, there are more to come (on different subjects) and I’ll be doing a bunch of video reviews not too long from now.

Ultimately, this technique does require a bit more work than I like to put up with. However, you can even do it without any spinning tool what so ever. You can just use the “find and replace” function in your word processor to get basically the same result.

If done right, you can really get a lot more traffic to your articles with this method, so give it a spin (brilliant pun, eh?).

Ok, my third article spinning technique is even better than this one, so sit tight for that third video.

With just those tweaks, you can get more traffic, get more exposure for your articles and continually improve your resource boxes to get the maximum amount of click-throughs. And with the software I listed in my last post, you can do all of this for free.

Writing articles is an essential tool for the majority of Internet marketers. Whether you are using them for your own blog, submitting articles to high-ranking directories for some good, old article marketing or just using them as part of your link-building strategy, there’s almost no way around writing articles. Article Submitter (made by Brad Callen) is a piece of software that allows you to submit articles to many directories with just a few clicks. In today’s review, I’ll be taking a look at what the free version of this software has to offer.

Overview

The free version of the Article Submitter is not time-limited and there is no catch involved. However, it could be described as a limited-functionality version. There are two paid versions, called Article Submitter Gold and Article Submitter Platinum, that offer more features and more directories to submit to.

What’s It About?

When you submit an article to an article directory like Ezinearticles or Articlesbase, that content is meant for repurposing. It often happens that your article gets picked up and republished by some blogs, for example. Since you get a new backlink (the one you get to place in your “bio box” or “resource box”) each time that your article is republished, this is great for improving your website’s pagerank.

To get more links, you can simply submit your article to more than one directory. Since you have the copyright to the article and it’s meant for repurposing, there’s no reason not to (no, not even duplicate content). The only problem is that you have to register for each directory, navigate to each one in your browser, log in, copy and paste your article and then submit. This takes a lot of time.

Article Submitter simply aims to make this process easier and quicker.

Some Screenshots

Here’s what you see when you launch the Article Submitter:

As you can see, there is a list of directories on the top frame (a total of 77 directories in the free version, at the time of writing this) and a browser window in the frame below. When you double-click one of the directories listed in the top frame, it opens up in the browser window below.

Article Submitter will then fill in all of the fields in the forms, if possible. You pre-enter your article title, description, tags, the article itself as well as the resource-box, links and a category in this “Add Article” window:

There are several tabs for easier navigation and for your article description, body and bio box, there are separate fields where you can enter HTML and non-HTML versions of the texts. Article Submitter will automatically submit the non-HTML versions to all directories that don’t allow HTML input.

The same principle applies to login and registration:

You simply enter your Username Password email address, etc. and Article Submitter will auto-fill the directories’ login screens. If you want to submit to a directory where you aren’t registered yet, you can manually navigate to the “Register” or “Sign-in” page and Article Submitter will fill out all of the necessary information for your registration. All that’s left for your to do is to tick a box, agreeing to the terms of service and sometimes solve a Captcha. Then, you will receive an email and once you’ve confirmed it, you’ll be ready to log in and submit your article.

This only applies to the first time you visit each of the directories. Once you have registered, the log in and submission process becomes much faster.

Does It Work?

The big question is, of course, what it’s like to actually work with the software and if the submissions work smoothly. The most time-consuming task you will face when starting out with the Article Submitter is that first round of registering.

I suggest doing this in bulk for all of the directories. Make sure to open a new e-mail account, just for these article-based mails. You’ll get a ton of mails, even just from the sign-up process alone. Once you’ve done all of the registrations, go to your inbox and confirm them all. This whole thing takes quite a lot of time, but once it’s done, you’ll never have to do it again.

After the registrations are done, each article submission will require only a few clicks. Sometimes you need to select a more suitable category manually (about 30% of the times I tested) and sometimes you need to tick a “agree to TOS” box. Apart from that, I found that the Article Submitter is spot on with the auto-filling.

So, yes, it does work and quite well, at that. The only problem I have with it, is that it still takes quite some time to do dozens of submissions. Nowhere near as long as it would take to do them manually, but waiting for each directory to load so that you can check the form and click submit gets quite boring, quickly. Realistically, don’t expect that you will submit each one of your articles to all of the 77 directories available. Pick your favourite dozen or so among the directories that have good traffic rankings and submit to those.

One thing that I really miss in Article Submitter is an option to spin or rotate your link’s anchor text. As it is, every single article will backlink to a page or website of your choosing using the exact same anchor text. If you do lots of submissions, this could raise a red flag for search engines because it doesn’t look natural when you get all these identical links.

Ratings

Spam-Factor

It’s too early to rate the spam-factor. So far, I haven’t been flooded with emails, which is a good sign. I want to give it a few weeks before I make a final verdict, however.

Scam-Scale

Not much scammyness to be detected, here. There are really only two factors:

1. The pitch page clearly states that you’ll be able to submit articles to 374 directories. Only once you’ve downloaded the program do you learn that the free version is limited to 77 directories.
2. There is an instant upsell, once you sign up for the free version. It’s what I’d describe as an honest upsell, though. The second pitch page simply promotes the two paid versions of the Article Submitter, which have more features. I’m not rating this as particularly scammy because there’s none of that “discover the real secret!” bullcrap going on and the products offered are actually very reasonably priced.

So, I give it a very good two out of five on the scam-scale.

Overall Rating

The free version of the article submitter does, what it’s supposed to do: It submits your articles to lots of directories semi-automatically. The software is very easy to use and I was impressed with how well it auto-filled all of the forms for each directory (including the categories).

The only problems are that it still requires human input and there are no options for spinning the text or at least rotating titles and resource box info. So, while it makes article submission a lot faster than you could ever do it manually, it’s still tedious to submit to more than a dozen or so directories and you might still have to do some manual tweaking.

A big plus is that it’s free. So, go ahead and give it a try. If you don’t like it for some reason, you’ve lost nothing.

This is for you if:

• You do article marketing / bum marketing
• You would like to use articles for link-building purposes
• You would like to submit your articles to more directories, but can’t be bothered because it’s taking too much time
• You want to make article submission easier, but don’t want to spend money

This is not for you if:

• Articles are in no way a part of your Internet marketing strategy
• You are looking for a fully automatic solution (in that case, you might want to give the Platinum version a try – or wait for some of my upcoming reviews)

Conclusion

The Article Submitter is a very useful tool for anyone using articles to build links or direct traffic to their websites. Best of all, it’s free. So just give it a try and see for yourself, if you like it.

One thing I can tell you is that I don’t see myself going back to manually submitting articles to multiple directories anytime soon.
