Review of Mass Article Control – Is It a Scam?

Posted on 15. Aug, 2009 by Casper.

So it’s time for another program review. This time I have tried and tested the Mass Article Contro software. So is this really the solution for the all the article marketers out there, working hour after hour writing and submitting articles? Well, let’s see what Mass Article Control software can do…

The Mass Article Control package consists of two different packages: The  Mass Article Creator and the Mass Article Submitter, which needs to be installed seperately. The idea of having both programs is ofcourse the ability to first re-write an article with the The  Mass Article Creator, to create several (actually 1000 different articles) and submit those articles to several article directories using the Mass Article Submitter.

Mass Article Creator:

To test it I loaded an old article of mine, made some adjustments and tweaks, which by the way is really well explain with vidoes, and I hit the “preview possible articles”. BANG! Within a few seconds 1000 articles where created. At this point I was pretty impressed, but my excitement disappeared within a few seconds also:

I scrolled down to pick a random re-write of the article, and it was really horrible. The article didn’t make any sense at all! Here’s a couple of examples from the re-written article:

“Fiber intake be supposed to at all times attempt give in give with…”

“Lactic acid, alcohols and coffee are about of the comestibles with the purpose of you might plan to keep your hands rotten.”

Not really what I was trying to explain in my article. So really, this article spinner is as useless as all the other re-write programs, and I seriously doubt that any article directory or ezine with self-respect will publish an article with the above sentences!

Mass Article Submitter:

The Mass Article Submitter is just an ordinary article submitter. Sign up to the article directories, add your article(s) and push the button. Nothing new here at all.

Conclusion of the Mass Article Control software:

Keep your money and look for some free software. The Mass Article Control package, is as useless as any other similar software. I wouldn’t have my name attached to any articles re-written by the Mass Article Control software.

Article Marketing- A Way of Promoting Your Business

Posted on 30. Jul, 2009 by Casper.

Article marketing is a tactic that has been used long before the internet was available. It all started when the printed press appeared. Then people gave free information to the newspapers while they were offered to place their advertisement in that newspaper.
However, the internet has changed the meaning of article marketing. Even though based on the same principle, the online article marketing has developed considerable. Its dual role of providing free information and gaining free advertising space was kept, but the advantages it offers increased significantly.
How exactly the article marketing functions, you will ask. Well it is very simple. There are sites which look for people that will submit free articles. In change they will receive the right to advertise their site/product on that site without paying any additional fees.
These types of sites are called article directory. The more popular the article directory is the more people will see the article and may visit your site. At the same time the owner of the directory will gain more money from advertising.
There are many sites that offer this kind of services. The most visited ones are EzineArticles, GoArticles and IdeaMarketers. However, there are also directories that address to a certain niche. For this reason it is better to search for the article directories that suits best the purposes of your site/product.
Some of the article directories offer the possibility for the authors of the articles to control the whole page, including the advertising posted on that page. In this way the revenue collected from advertising comes to the author of the articles.
People from around the world get to know about your business, site, blog or product via your articles posted on the internet. That is why they need to be written in the best style possible and to represent you in the most appropriate manner.
Make sure that the title of the article is the best you could choose and that it fits properly to the content. Also be very careful about the way in which you express your ideas. Don’t use long phrases or hard to understand words and don’t write articles that are too long. This will annoy the readers and in the end your site will not be visited by any of those that have seen your article.
You should give special attention to the resource box as this is the place where you actually sell your site or product. It should contain your name and the name of the site as primary information. You can also add a small description of the site and an invitation for the visitor to sign up or just go to the specified address.
In order to attract the reader some authors make a summary of their article in which they tell the reader what to expect from it. This is usually considered an invitation to read the whole article and sometimes includes some additional information, which is not mentioned in the article.
If used wisely, the article marketing can bring a lot of visitors to sites. However, don’t exaggerate with the number of articles sent to these article directories. Not the number, but the quality of the articles influences the number of visitors your site will receive.
