If you're looking for article submission software, you've probably heard of Article Submitter by Bryxen Software.

So what's the deal? Does Article Submitter do everything it claims to? Is it really that easy to use? Well, we put Article Submitter to the test and here's are review:

1. Article Submitter is backed by the reputation of a leading software producer. Bryxen Software, the makers of Article Submitter, have already produced top ranking Internet marketing products, selling millions of licenses annually. These products include: SEO Elite, KeyWord Elite, and Affiliate Elite. This reputation is an important factor when considering any online software package.

2. Article Submitter is easy to set up and use. Like most article submission software, Article Submitter requires you to enter basic information about your website, author, and email for article directories. Additionally, you'll need to register for a number of article directories, but once you do, submission is automatic with a feature that populates all online forms. Lastly, you'll need to enter information about your article including title, summary, article body, and author profile. This is easy to do and self explanatory. No need to read complex manuals or watch lengthy videos.

3. Organize your submission based on popularity. To optimize your submission process, you can use Article Submitter to sort by most relevant article directory, directory Google Page Rank, or other factors. This flexibility streamlines the submission process, allowing you to focus on the most important websites first.

4. Similar to Directory Submitter. If you use one of the other software products from Bryxen, you'll have very little to learn about this tool. Even if you've never used an online software package before, getting up and running takes only about 10 minutes.

5. Responsive customer support. In order to fully review this product, we contacted support with a fabricated issue. Once the support ticket was placed, we received a response in less than 90 minutes. The timeliness and accuracy of the response were excellent and above expectations.

If you're looking for article submission software, Article Submitter has one HUGE advantage - a FREE trial. What we like about the free trial is that it lets you use all of the features of the product. The only thing the trial does not provide is access to all of the article directories which is available with the full Article Submitter license.

For website owners and Internet marketers who are serious about building thousands of one-way links to their website, and are considering article submission software, then Article Submitter is for you. Click here to start your FREE trial!

Today's Marketing Tip: Article Marketing

Are you trying to build inbound links to your website or running an affiliate program? Maybe your simply trying to get more traffic to your website.

Article marketing, if done correctly, can help you develop links to your website and generate a huge flow of steady traffic, generating a steady stream of qualified prospects to your site and your products.

The first step in article marketing is to develop an article that is clearly written, provides value, and builds credibility. A clearly written article ensures that readers do more than skim your article.

To keep your reader's attention, your article must provide something of value. An example might be an SEO related article that shows readers how to write an effective "Title" tag for their webpage. A valuable article would first explain the concept then follow with examples.

A result of a clearly written article that provides valuable information is that of credibility. The concept of credibility can be subtle but is very important if you wish to drive the most traffic to your affiliate product. Some suggestions for building credibility include: injecting your experience into each article, providing references to findings from recent studies, offering facts, providing quotes from industry experts, and so on.

Once you've written a compelling article, you can weave a mention of your affiliate product into the text. However, be sure to do it in modest way. Some examples are:
"I've used a number of products that weren't any good… but I did have some success with the [insert product name here]."

"I've used [product 1], [product 2], and [product 3], but found [insert product name here] to be the cheapest and the best."

"Personally I use [insert product name here], but any [product descriptor] will do."

"I'm not an expert on [product descriptor] but know that [insert product name here] is quite popular."

Too often I see individuals using article marketing with a hard sell. This doesn't work. People don't like to be told what to do, what products they must use, or rely on the opinions of those they do not trust. So your best bet is to begin with a clearly written article, provide something of value, and use your newfound credibility to generate referrals or sales.

Now that you've written your article, what are you going to do with it? There are a number of article directories on the Internet, but which ones should you choose? I personally use Article Submission Software to distribute my articles to more than 600 article site, but you can start by submitting to some of the top article directories: About.com, EzineArticles, and GoArticles.com

A number of these directories are also favored by major search engines like Yahoo! Some allow affiliate links and others do not. Be sure to read the submission policies carefully before submitting your article. For some directories, you may have to include your affiliate link in the "About the Author" section. This is okay as many article directories allow multiple links in this section.

The added benefit of inserting an affiliate link in this section is that other webmasters, who repurpose articles from article directories, will include these links – giving you the benefit of viral marketing.

Article marketing is a great way to promote your affiliate product or affiliate program. By writing an article that delivers value and offers a subtle mention of your affiliate product, you're well on your way to getting the proper exposure for your promotion. Add the on-page optimization factors we talked about, and you're sure to get noticed. Give article marketing a try and you'll be surprised by the results!

What it Means to Be Ranked on Top

Everyone knows the importance of top search engine rankings, but does being on top mean you need to be first for the best quality traffic?

The higher your site is positioned within search engine results means you are going to increase your websites exposure. This does not mean you are going to get a enormous increase in traffic or, guarantee the quality of the traffic.

It can be as beneficial to be positioned 3rd or 4th as being in number one position. Top position will generally get the clicks, though not necessarily the highest quality traffic. High quality traffic will often navigate further down the search engine results page. This becomes more evident when setting up a paid search campaign.

When managing a paid search campaign the rule of thumb is the more you bid on a term (there are other elements that effect top position though bid price is still a key factor) the higher your position will be in the sponsored links. If you’re the highest bidder at $1.00 – each time you get a click it will cost you $1.00, this means top position is going to cost you the most in clicks, and drive the most traffic to you.

However what is the quality of this traffic? A high percentage of this traffic will be people simply doing research, possibly using the wrong search term then clicking back out of your site, general time wasters. The result is that you are spending money on dead traffic!

Positioning your results further down the results page can actually help “qualify your” searcher. A quality searcher will not always click on the first result they see, they will often review all the results on a search results page and click on the ad that most suites their query. This then means that you don’t have to bid maximum price to get the best quality traffic, you can spend less for a better return.

Depending on your business goals, top position will help you build your brand and get you more traffic. However for more qualified traffic that is more likely to convert, position your self in the top 5 search results, not number 1.
