thanks!

You are done your link buiulding when your chosen keyword and landing page is #1 for your keyword.

WOW, I elanced out my first set of 20 articles for AMA with proper syntax of 3-5 rewrites (approx.) per sentence, etc. as explained. Requested the first one back as a test, went off without a hitch and WOW!!!

The power of pressing refresh over and over and seeing these awesome different variations! Fantastic.

Don't have my site fully up yet so it is still set in draft mode, just wanted to make sure my elancers are doing the syntax correct.

Sorry if I am not answering questions you originally posted, just wanted to share my enthusiasm for this. Really if you can afford to I wouldn't bother with anything but getting article rewrites done in this format for the future. I plan on ONLY getting rewrites with at least 3 variations of each sentence, I am showing close to 200% uniqueness each refresh, this will be my most powerful off page seo tool I can see now why Mark almost suggests it as a necessarity part of your toolkit.

19 May 09 8:02 pm

And to answer your further question....

my plan is I am building 2 sites at the moment as I go through this, based on good PLR content as starting point. I have 40 rewrites done now for each of the 2 niches, and 2 sets of five original product reviews done.

Now I am going to be getting both 2 sites in their independent niches up but my focus will be on heavy seo article marketing with the benefit of AMA firstly for the 1st site:

I will do a round myself of each of the 40 rewritten PLR articles - which are then elanced to get AMA sytax ready to plop into AMA version of those 40 articles for my site but with around 3 versions each, so now I will be able to have 40 articles for this site ready for AMA automation unlimited rewrites. But I only need submit the article once to AMA automation really as it spreads them out they will all be rewrites. Then I take each and make 10 for the main article directories (one different version for each) and submit once to each of these.
that is 400 articles I guess submitted to the top directories, plus ama's own network 40.

I intend to do about that for each site I create myself at first. (but elancing out the article creation and working from good PLR to start).
plus solid original product reviews

If a site is doing well (based on watching it for a while and doing some first dabbling in PPC (not there yet) I intend to hire a full time Phillipino for about $400 / month full time once I have enough sites who could continue to use the essentially unlimited ability to take advantage of the articles from AMA automation, submit them to other directories, squidoo, other places, etc. Maybe submit second, third fourth rounds of rewrites to the main article directories..... but that will be at a point when I have enough sites that are proving (or I strongly feel) will be good long term investments to build up seo and page rank etc. get good backlinks, etc.

So that's my plan in terms of how far to take the ama process for good initial benefit before deciding to take it any further.

18 Jun 09 1:39 pm

In addition to the posts on this topic, I have a couple of questions:
Do the rewritten articles for article markeeting need to jave the the keywords in place, the way they do in the main article, or does it matter for article submissions?

Also, If I have 10 articles and 3 rewrites per article, should I submit them all at one to AMA and to the other 10 high profile article directories like ezine.com, that Mark mentions in Affiloblueprint, or should I only submit them, once per day/week or what do you suggest?

With AMA, if you submit the 3 rewrites for one article, how many spins does this give you (that has a 50% change in content)? Is there not a danger that AMA will submit the same content to its affiliated sites as you will to the other 10 high profile sites?

regards,
Greg (week6 ABP newbie)

Hi everybody,
I also signed up for AMAutomation. While signing up It turns out you need to have your sight set up to blog, which means you have to change the settings in wordpress from how we were shown to have them in set up. Can anybody explain how this works to me. #1 I'm not interested in blogging. #2 how will this affect my site.
Can someone explain to me in, AMA for idiots terms, how you have to set up your wordpress site to use it and what will you be doing differently with the site to continue to use AMA.
I was also under the impression that,the spun articles will only work through that AMA site.

thanks for any help,

Kurtw

Hi Kurt,
AMA is used to get link backs to your site.
You do not need to add it to wordpress.
Unless I am not understanding what you mean?
Kind Regards

Hi all,

I have tried to download and view Marc's AMautomation videos, but when I open the html file I get the following error.

The Camtasia Studio video content presented here requires JavaScript to be enabled and the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player. If you are you using a browser with JavaScript disabled please enable it now. Otherwise, please update your version of the free Flash Player by downloading here.

I have downloaded the latest version of Macromedia Flash and enabled java script, but still no luck. Any suggestions?
Many thanks,

I have been using AMA for a few weeks now and have got quite a few backlinks from blog sites. I have also used it to get unique versions of my articles for submission to the various article directories such as ezine.

Seems like a great idea, except that I sense that the "better" sites like ezine, Article Dashboard as well as Squidoo and HubPages, have some way of telling that an article is similar to others published through AMA (I have been achieving at least 175% rewrite with AMA). I have been slapped by HubPages and Article Dashboard for lack of unique content.

Also, I have come across advice somewhere in Affilorama (I think in a webinar) that, when submitting a spun article to ezine, you should save it as a draft in AMA until ezine has published your submission, then release the draft for AMA distribution. This seems to confirm my suspicion that ezine, at least, can tell if an article has a "sibling" somewhere else on the internet, and they like to have only unspun work submitted.

Any thoughts anyone?

Hi. I would really, really like to hear Mark Ling's opinion on this amazing sounding new product. Should we buy this? Check it out at massarticlecontrol.com. Please Mark, could you pass on your opinion to us about it? It sounds like incredible value but I would like to hear your opinion as to whether there is a downside as you are tuned in to the bigger picture better than most! Regards, Frank Levy

16 Jul 09 4:08 am

Hi Mark thanks for your rapid assessment of Mass Article Control the other day! I can’t leave this alone! People like Chris Carpenter of Google Cash Detective are promoting it like crazy! There is a new development though. Here’s an excerpt from a new email from MAC themselves. Then please read my description of how Adeel manually chooses the synonyms and words to replace because it seems to me it could make a huge difference to the results. Read on…
Subject: [VIDEO] New & IMPROVED Mass Article Control Released...
Hey Frank, We thought we'd create a video showing you the Mass Article Creator software in action... it's already been updated too!! (New Bio Box)
The video shows Adeel loading in a Weight Loss article from EzineArticles.com and the first sentence is: “Are you one of the many who may be tempted by adverts for diet pills and..(blah, blah).. easy, quick ways to lose weight?”
He selects several words just by hovering the cursor over them...words such as “may”, “for” and “easy” and selects synonyms for those selected words revealed by the software from its database. (Which is due for a massive update of new synonyms this week).
Anyway, he manually selects 7 synonyms for “may” 4 synonyms for “for” and 11 synonyms for “easy”. Then he clicks “preview articles” and the software generates 308 articles just by replacing those 3 words with all the combinations and permutations. (7x4x11=308) He goes on to say that all the resulting articles are guaranteed readable.
Provided you manually choose reasonable synonyms, personally I really can’t see why that would not work.
Then he shows how you can just run it to automatically use all the synonyms in the database and that’s when it churns out 1000 articles (displaying the changed text in blue and leaving unchanged text in black) I reckon those are the ones that will be rubbish because many of the synonyms in the database will be inappropriate. Afterwards he actually says the best method is to choose both the words to be replaced and the synonyms manually.

Ok so Mark, forgive me for asking this but when you used the software did you manually choose the synonyms and the words to replace or did you just do what I call the “autochurn” which has simply got to produce mostly garbage or did you test both? Just please answer this and I promise to shutup about Mass Article Control from now on! Thanks again.
Regards,
Frank

I just write a completely new article for EZA etc... or as you said.. submit it first and then get it out of the draft folder in AMA. There is not a whole lot you can do about it really.
If you are not a good article writer then you may need to outsource.
It would be good to see if others are having the same issue.

A bit confusing. Mark mentioned in his presentation to the US workshop (the one given away with his SEO ebook) that AMA could be used to spin & post articles to sites outside the AMA system.

Seems to me that once a spun articles hits the web, any attempt to post a "sibling" to EZA, Squidoo, etc. will be flagged as duplicate.

Anyone have any different views on this?

Thanks, Joe

26 Nov 09 7:15 pm

Renato...Was intending to post a AMA spun article to EZA this morning.

It had run on AMA for about a week and had been published 11 times. It was 540 words in all x 3 format considered 250% original by AMA.

Ran it thru copyscape as a check. Copyscape found one of my auto posted articles & said we had over 300 words in common.

Respun the article 3-4 times & ran each thru copyscape...every time with similar results.

I assumed there was no chance getting it thru on EZA.

Thoughts?

Thanks, Joe

That is true giparke. submit to all the places that check for duplicate content first. another option I use is to rearange a couple of paragraphs when you submit to those sites.

Usually when i submit my articles, I write 3 for each page on my site. spin all 3 articles and submit them to directories, web2.0 sites, free blog sites, etc...

Also find blog owners within the niche that are not on AmA and ask if you can guest post on their blog. You can submit the articles to them as well.

take 5-10 of your articles that are on similar topics and put together a report for your opt-ins. you can post those on free report/ ebook sites for others to use for their optins as well. include your website url and a brief about the author bio sending even more traffic to your site.

You can also use your spun articles to fill your autoresponder with unique content.

Just some additional tips that you can use with your spun articles hope it helps.

07 Aug 10 2:02 pm

Hi All, I use AMA and I have submitted an article to Ezine Articles after runnning it on AMA for over 3 weeks. After that I have done that on 2 other occasions. Also went through without a problem on article dashboard and go articles. I think the key is in how you have rewritten your article. When writting articles in AMA most people just replace words with synonyms. I do multiple versions of each sentence and change the sentence structure altogether while making sure it still means the same thing. while it takes more time to do that, it gives me 97%+ approval rate in AMA and I think this is also the reason why my articles got approved in EZA without a hassel. I just copy pasted a spun version and removed the links from the body.. is all.

08 Aug 10 2:17 pm

I had an 98% acceptance rate at ama over 8 months of using it. personally i found faster and cheaper ways to get links that are higher quality than some crappy blogs with no pr, no traffic, and often never even indexed by google.

you're right... most blogs are low to n/a pr blogs. but it does send our links out in an organic manner. what other methods do you use that get you better quality links with less effort?

21 Aug 10 2:19 pm

Can anyone compare AMAutomation VS SEO LinkVine, please?

I can afford only 1 service, so please advice me on this

Hey all, I have a VERY limited budget and was curious, if I submit my articles on AMA and then cancel my subscription, will they go away? Does it also effect the trickle effect if I cancel my subscription close to the day I submitted them?

Thank you everyone!

12 Dec 10 4:50 am

jmpruitt wrote:it takes ama apx 3 months to submit 1 article, and the strenght with using them is doing alot of submissions. so if you are on a limited budget, I would recommend outsourcing it. there are several people who will do a submission for you pretty cheap, saving you the monthly fee, and still getting the benefit. one of my favs to use is http://www.thearticlemarketingcenter.com/ (no affiliate, just a happy customer)

You could try fiverr too there are people who will submit your articles for you to UAW/AMA for just 5 bucks provided you provide them with the article(spun one) :)

How do you maximize the use of her package? I know that she allows up to 6 URLS and 6 keywords for the smallest package... or you buy 1 package for each keyword you are trying to rank for?

jmpruitt wrote:yep, you can find a lot of ways to outsource. I like the article marketing center because she does the article spins it and submits. I am getting bout 2k links for each submission she does. It cost me $300 to basically turn over 2 of my jetpack sites for her to build links to. I couldn't have hired freelancers to do all that for the price. basically, all I had to do was rewrite the articles and put the site together. send her the project, and go on to the next one.

OF the two sites I gave her a month ago, about 30% of the pages are starting to show up in the top 2 pages in google. knowing that alot of those articles are drip fed over time, by next month, I expect those sites to be up on page 1, and I havent built any links to them myself.

19 Dec 10 12:36 am

I have to agree. I used it over a number of months in 2009 and it supposedly submitted hundreds of articles to blogs but none of them are ever found by Traffic Travis and have not contributed to ranking my sites. I can never understand why Mark recommends it so highly.

21 Dec 10 10:08 am

I have to agree with James here about both AMR and Blog Networks. I think when you go for these type of services you should think about what it is and what it does. In my personal opinion there is some major flaws with at least all those Blog Networks I have seen. First question you should consider is, Have you ever seen somebody that owns a blog that have 100 posts and not a single picture besides the header, would you enjoy reading it?. Is such a blog brining a quality experience to internet or is it spam? All it takes for a search engine bot is to search for <img> tag and count them in order to discover what it is.

Now I dont know exactly what googlebot has for type of spam measurements but, at least has Matt Cutts said that they do somewhat devaluate links that comes from the footer. Which should indicate they know about html positions in the content too not only the content it self. That could indicate that there is a problem with same links pointing from same place out of the content to same pages from posts. And then its quality of content measurements that I have not seen anything of yet...

However some people do swear by these blog networks I am not one of them... I have heard about some blog networks that have auto bookmarking functionality and you can also add pictures those could have some potential. And Finally AMR has to be one of my best investments ever :)

Thank you.

The article marketing center don't get your backlinks in just a few days, the whole thing is spread over a span of 2-3 months, and she submits to different directories and networks every week.

I do use Rapid rewriter, and use the optional paragraph feature regularly. it helps keep my content fresh and unique. I dont use any mass submission software because high quality sites wont allow mass submissions, and the sites in the mass software are not worth wasting time on.

Blog networks can be effective if you can afford to keep posting over a long period of time, but you have to add a lot of articles every month in order to keep up your rankings, and replace the links that disapear rather quickly.

That has been my experience. I know Mark and some others disagree with me on it, but my experience with it was that it wasn't a good value for my money or the hours of time invested.

Errmm...i think currently contextual backlinks are the most powerful form of backlinks. No matter how crappy the backlinks are from ArticleMarketingAutomation...they are still better than most backlinks out there.

I gotten the best results from posting to blog networks..

I also do some of my own article submissions using article marketing robot, and other things as well. I do a lot of social bookmarking, and when I start getting pingbacks, I will bookmark some of those as well, as long as they read well (which the ones I have submitted to her have been pretty good so far. )

You advised you buy 2 of the large packages which of these packages are you referring to? She has 5 options on the Buy a Package Page on her site:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you mean the package for $320? That looks like it would be good for an AB style site with 30 pgs. Or do you mean that you actually buy two of the $320 packages for one site? I was thinking one should be enough for one site and wanted clarification. Any help here would be appreciated. I am newly out of work and need to get my site generating income asap. I have been researching Link building tools like AMAutomation here http://articlesubmissionreview.com/ and it gets quite confusing for a newbie who just wants to get rankings and income coming in. From what you described in your earlier post about 'The Article Marketing Center' it sounds like you are able to get good rankings simply from using it.

28 Jan 11 8:01 pm

Hi, I have a very basic article writing question and wasn't sure where to post it. What tools are out there for word count? I'm aiming for articles that have 300 to 450 words and I know I shouldn't have to count those words myself. What tools do your recomment? i.e. free tools!!

21 Feb 11 10:22 am

HI heavysm,

I've just signed up for AMAutomation and it looks like all the good advice here advices contrary to that, from a return-on-investment point of view. Would you happen to have a recommended source of linkbuilding, similar to what jmpruitt suggested? Its a really fascinating topic, and I'm hoping to learn more about it.

31 May 11 5:21 pm

Just picking up on Lil0's request about word counting on 28th January (sorry, I've been busy moving from the UK to Madeira over the last few months!). My MS Word 2010 has an automatic word count in the bottom left corner of the page. If you want the count for just a part of the text you can highlight it and go to Review/Word Count. It also does some fancy things with character numbers with and without spaces, paragraphs, etc, but I tend not to need these.

So MS Word 2010 is your answer!

I have quit AMA with the new Panda update. I don't think it is worth the money you pay - you can get full link building services on the warrior forum for 10 dollars cheaper than AMA. Admittedly I have tried them, but I"M SURE you get better ranking results with them. If google is trying to get rid of content farms - why pay money to be in one?

25 Jul 11 2:22 pm

Don't waste your time with AMA. All it does is provide a few crappy low-pr links. It's benefit is totally debateable.

I'm fully going to buy AB 3.0 but not if it relies on - or spouts benefits of using AMA. Because there are none.

I used AMA for quite some time and learnt to use it very well, too. The contempt and ignorance their support "system" gave me was amazing. I've never been treated so badly re a product's support.

14 Aug 11 7:53 am

Well, at the time the AB was originally written, AMA did actually have more of a benefit, but changes at Google (and others) over time have weakened the effect of AMA and similar sites.

17 Aug 11 5:09 am

Oh, I agree that there has a been a lot of problems with AMA. But at the same time, 3 to 4 years ago, number of links to the site was one metric that was more heavily emphasized and the "quality" less so (and I don't mean PR by "quality), so sites like AMA flourished. (AMA is just one of many similar services I've heard problems about.)

I know in the past that Mark has said their sites did help him. And I think they have some connection to Mark as students or friends or something, which could have played into it some.

Don't get me wrong... I'm not trying to defend AMA. I don't really use them myself, in part because of those very issues you are talking about (but also do to other reasons). It is in part because of services like AMA that provided such low content in the past that Google has learned to adjust the weight it places on the volume of links as well as balance it out with other factors. It's just the type of low quality "content farm" that Google may have been trying to weed out earlier this year.

I personally use The article marketing center by Linda Bruton. She writes, spins and submits articles to many, many places such as AMA. It's just one those outsourcing things you have to do if you don't want to waste too much time in front of computer trying to get rankings and traffic.

01 Dec 11 3:40 pm

so picking up on all of this, if outsourcing, who would you recommend for back links, article submissions, etc?

08 Dec 11 1:51 am

You can also "reuse" the AMA articles by submitting them to other blog networks like:

Article Ranks
Unique Article Wizard
Traffic Kaboom

That should amplify your results.

Building backlinks is essential and building relevant backlinks is even more necessary......

Remember to have a combination of diverse backlinks
Look at this
Link removed by moderator
(Even higher packages are there with 10, 15, 20 , 25 and 30 100% unique articles)

Combination of blog networks using Unique articles, forum links, Wiki links and much more

Always remember to use fresh and Unique content for your website and also for building your backlinks -- The amount of trust and power that your backlinks have when they are built using unique articles is at a completely different level as to other promotions.

Articles should be relevant to your website and should be submitted at relevant places under relevant categories ...

Different IP addresses, Old age domains , HIGH PR >> Further add ons to your link authority

05 Aug 12 2:52 pm

I'm relatively new to Affilorama. I'm in the process of finding key works from a few products I plan to set together and sell in the Health and Fitness niche.

I recently went to AMA to sign up as a member and it says the sight is down. What gives? Anyone have any info on what happen to that site/service, will they come back? If there are any other services like AMA that you use.

Thank you for any replies :)
