Article Submitter Pro News

In April of 2009, we released Article Submitter Pro 2 based on user feedback. They told us what they wanted, and we provided it. However, not everyone needs all the bells and whistles in version 2, but do appreciate the streamlined look and feel of it. So we’re happy to announce a new release of Article Submitter Pro 2 Lite.

Lite is basically similar to Article Submitter Pro 1, but has the ease of use version 2 has. Whereas ASP2 has multi-author functions with each author having its own login details, favorites, list of articles and bio boxes, as well as submission history, ASP2 Lite is a single author system.

With Article Submitter Pro 2 Lite, you still get:

1. Over 1,550 article directories
2. Directories categorized by Page Rank and Alexa Rating
3. Switching between All Sites and choosing site per Page Rank
4. Unlimited number of articles stored in the software
5. A Default Login created in Author Profile for easy registering and login
5. Site logins stored in the software
6. Registration forms open automatically for sites not yet registered
7. Login or submission forms open automatically for sites already registered
8. Complete Submission History
9. Easy resume if you have to stop submitting for any reason
10. Automatic updates
11. Top notch customer service

So as you can see, Article Submitter Pro 2 Lite is no light-weight by any stretch of the imagination. The only real difference between Lite and the full ASP2 version is that Lite is for single users and ASP2 is for those who use multiple author names, or submit articles for other people.

We feel Article Submitter Pro 2 Lite is the perfect solution for the average professional marketer who just wants to take advantage of the benefits article submission can bring.

Oh, one other thing about Article Submitter Pro 2 Lite . . .

The price is sufficiently Lite as well!

It’s usually the norm for entrepreneurs to seek out testimonials from their satisfied customers, but how often do you see the reverse? After months of working out tiny little glitches in our new software, and having our customers stick with us through the whole process, we have to say we have the best customers in the world!

Any new software product is bound to have some minor problems. Sure they can be beta tested, but only once the masses get their hands on it do those small, dark corners get completely exercised to the max. This is when you really find out if the product you worked so hard on passes the ultimate test of endurance.

Well this was certainly true when we released Article Submitter Pro 2. But all of that is pretty much in the past, and thanks to our wonderful customers and their reporting to us when things went south for them, we’ve just about got all the glitches ironed out and the software is working very, very well now.

So we just wanted to pause for a moment and give a hearty Thank You to all our great customers who took the time, and gave us their trust so we could see this through to a happy ending.

Common sense tells us if we want quality results in our article marketing efforts, we'd want to make sure the article directories remained healthy and thriving with high page rank and good quality content. We'd also certainly want to make sure that anything we do with them isn't wasting their time. But could you be guilty of spamming the article directories without even knowing it?

Most article directories "hand moderate" their article intake, meaning each article that comes in to them is scrutinized by human eyes and judged according to its quality, its category placement, and its content value. Some of these article directories get thousands of article submissions every single day, so the moderating work can be extreme at times. This is why some people can wait weeks before their articles get accepted and posted.

While many articles submitted are of high quality, and are usually placed in the proper category for ultimate relevancy, some have used automated submission software combined with article spinning software to bombard the article directories with garbage. As you might imagine, it would take only a few people using these tools to triple the work these directory owners have to do in order to keep their sites healthy and relevant.

Unfortunately, these so called "one click" tools have been briskly sold to hundreds, if not thousands of marketers, leaving the directory owners to clean up the mess.

Worse still, many of these tools are easily hacked and distributed to thousands of spammers for free. So you can imagine the havoc all of this causes article directory owners trying to keep their sites clean and relevant.

So while it may seem like good business to completely automate your article submissions, it's not. You're just creating more work for someone else who has to double and triple their efforts just to maintain the value of everything you and everyone else submits.

Far better would it be for each of us to take extra care in our article submissions by submitting either manually, or using a tool that allows us to submit complete, well written articles and put them in the very best categories for relevancy and easy locating by readers.

Article directories are the main source of back links for many marketers, but with so many being guilty of spamming the article directories with spun or poorly written articles, blasted into any category, this dynamic resource could rapidly be fading away.

Article submission is the life blood for many businesses both online and off. And the article directories form the foundation for successfully getting the word out. But of course you knew that which is why you created your article submission software in the first place, right?

Making money is what we're all about, for sure. But if we "cut off our noses to spite our face," and make the article directories vulnerable to attack by developing an article submission software that's easily hacked, we'll all suffer the consequences.

After almost three years in the making, Article Submitter Pro 2 has finally been released to the general public. What started out to be a simple upgrade, has taken on a life of its own, and has become a full blown rebuild from the ground up. Now, Article Submitter Pro is, by far, the most powerful semi-automated article submission tool on the planet.

It started with a simple question to the more than 1,500 users of the original Article Submitter Pro . . .

"What would you like to see added and/or changed in the software to improve your article submission experience?"

We expected a few of the suggestions, like having multiple favorites, and niche specific favorites because people have been requesting those all along. But the other responses we got were overwhelming to say the least! We received all kinds of ideas to make the software better, faster, and more flexible. It really showed us how serious our clients were about using the software, and how strongly they felt about it.

And you know what? Most of these suggestions are now part of Article Submitter Pro 2 !

For example, some people wanted to be able to have separate logins and passwords for each of their authors. We thought it a strange request at first, because registering to the sites has got to be the most tedious part of article submitting.

But then we realized what this could mean. Being able to have separate logins and passwords for each author would allow our users to create their own Article Submission Service using Article Submitter Pro, and capitalize on the power of the software to make a decent living submitting articles for other people.

Couple that with another suggestion, having a printable submission history, would let those utilizing the software in this way, to send their customers detailed reports on a daily or weekly basis of all the articles submitted and where they went.

We thought that was pretty cool indeed!

Another idea we received from our users was to allow multiple article submissions to each site. This one got us a little nervous because we didn't want people using Article Submitter Pro to spam the article directories. But at the same time, many users like to prepare several articles in advance and then submit them all at once. So we acquiesced, and now users can submit as many articles to the same directory as the site will allow.

Those are just a few of the suggestion made by our users. If we listed them all, this post would never get finished. Needless to say, most suggestions were included in the rebuild.

Now we also had our own ideas to make Article Submitter Pro better and more powerful . . .

The biggest was to include a way to submit to social networks. So now Article Submitter Pro 2 has a built in Social Site Submitter with more than 50 of the most popular social sites in it.

Another idea was to make the site registration process easier to manage. This meant we had to move it from being a separate module directly into the flow of the submission process. We coupled this with one of the many suggestions we received and added a Default Login button, so the user could simply click a button and have their desired login,  password, and registration details readily available to use in the site registrations.

Of course as was always the case, when a site is registered to, the software stores that information for use the next time. However now, if a site hasn't yet been registered to, the registration page comes up in the window instead of the submission form. Then once the directory is registered to, clicking on the site will bring up the login form. This all makes it possible to now register to a site and then immediately submit to it in one single motion.

We've also extended the time limit on the demo version of Article Submitter Pro 2 . People who wish to test drive it now have a full 7 days rather than the 3 day limit of the previous version.

And we've added Live Help and a way to report defective sites.

So these are just a few of the many changes in Article Submitter Pro. We'll be posting more advantages in coming posts. And, if you have any questions about the software, feel free to comment here or write to us.
