Blog Your Way to Financial Freedom!

Backlinking is a very important part of gaining SEO love. One way to get a lot of good backlinks is to write articles that others will post to their websites.  This could be a lot of work to try and find websites and blog owners willing to post your content. Far too much time to do it manually.

The solution is to join a place that has thousands of people who own blogs that want your articles. AMA and LinkVine are the two places that offer this solution. They both cost $47.00, but they are not equal. Not in my opinion. I have tried both. I use AMA.

AMA stands for Article Marketing Automation.

They both allow you to submit your articles to be published to other peoples blogs. Most people will spin their articles and then submit them for publishing. Each article has up to three links in them, however, most articles do not have any type of resource box so it looks as though the article was written by the owner of the website. Or a registered contributor.

There are pros and cons to article spinning. The pro is that each article will be spun into a different version and this helps the blog owners avoid duplicate content. In addition that adds a nice backlink to the article writer.

The con is that many people use article spinners and they do not pay attention to the quality of the content after it is spun. I personally will only use an article spinner to help me come up with ideas, but I do not allow the article to be spun without any proof reading.

This is where I found AMA a better option. Almost every article that I was receiving from LinkVine was horribly spun content. Articles that reside on my blogs need to make sense. Even if the content of the blog is not full of spectacular articles, I still want them to make sense. And I want my readers to actually find value in them.

If you do decide to use an Article publishing program like AMA or LinkVine, I highly recommend that you do NOT automatically accept any article.  Far too many articles can sneak in that are either incredible poor content, make little sense, or in some cases the articles are duplicates that have been resubmitted using different titles and categories.

Typically I have seen my articles will receive a 85 to 95% acceptance rate even when they are only spun at 40%. I believe this is probably because they are actually well written articles.

However, articles that are spun at 200% most times receive 100% acceptance. To get your articles to be as high as 200% you’ll need each sentence to be written 2 to 3 times.

TIPS FOR SPINNING

When you are spinning your articles there are a few things you can do to generate even more variety in your articles.

1. Sentence variety.

Example:

Sentence version 1  -  The little boy was swimming in the murky water.

Sentence version 2 -  On this hot day in May a small child was playing in a nearby creek. He was really having a good time.

Notice in the first version there is one short sentence. In the second version there are actually two sentences and they are longer then the first.

Paragraph Structure

In AMA you can create inner spinning. Too much to explain here, they have a pdf tutorial on their site. However, let me show you how you can very a paragraph in such a way that it adds even more variety to each spin.

Paragraph version 1:

If you are planning a trip to Hawaii in the summer, be sure to bring your camera, a big towel, and some shorts.

Paragraph version 2:

When you travel to Hawaii, it’s a good idea to have the following items:

1. A water proof camera
2. A nice big fluffy beach towel
3. Some swim trunks

Lastly, you can take one paragraph and make three version of it. One version is short. One version is very long. And another version has bulleted points or an example or some type of variety that is far different from the other two.

Using an article marketing program like AMA is a wonderful way to build backlinks over time. In addition AMA will show you the results of your submissions. You’ll learn how many people accepted your articles and in a few weeks time you’ll receive some data on where your keywords are ranking in Google.
