One of the best ways of getting your message in front of your target market has always been to publish and submit articles to article directories - otherwise known as article marketing or more recently bum marketing. Just a few short years ago this technique of article submissions used to work amazingly well for generating masses of targeted traffic to your site. But recently the search engines have started filtering out duplicate copies of our articles so the technique has become much less effective than it used to be.



But all is not lost. If you're an article marketer you'll understand that the old way of submitting the same copy of your article to masses of article directories, either manually (heaven forbid) or using automated article submission software, is no longer as powerful s it used to be. This is because every article directory would get the exact same copy of your article.

In the early days, each directory that published your article also counted as a new backlink to your site, in turn boosting your link popularity and improving your ranking in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages). This directly led to more traffic to your site.

Back in the good ole days (just a couple of years ago) the article marketing technique worked wonders. But with the new duplicate content filters, the search engines are literally filtering out all your published articles and storing only the first copy they find.

But all is not lost - what we need now is an article submission system that can create totally unique versions of our articles before it submits them to the directories. But the method it uses to create each unique article must ensure a quality and readable version is created every time - not some spammy looking synonym replacement system that produces totally unreadable content. It needs to be reader friendly and search engine friendly all at the same time.

We'd also like the software to automatically submit our unique articles to hundreds of different article directories for us, and use a unique version of the resource box for each article. If we could also vary the anchor texts in the resource box (or bio) that would really make the package complete.

Well, the good news is that there is such a system now available. It has only recently been released as an answer to the duplicate content filters the search engines are now using, and it does everything we wanted above plus a whole load more besides. I've tested it out for the last few weeks and to be quite honest it's way over delivered on all my expectations except one - and that is that the owners web site doesn't really do it justice - it's way more powerful than he lets on.
