Article Announcer Review

After finally receiving Article Announcer 10 days ago, I prepared an article and submitted it to 10 directories using this new software. There has been a lot of hype about it, so I thought it would be a good idea to run a little test just to see how good it works with “ordinary” articles.

The hiypy previews espousing how good Article Announcer is have all been from “Big name” writers and SEO guru’s.

I’m no guru, and very few people on the Internet would have heard of me. I’m certainly not recognised as an SEO expert who everyone follows and believes without question.

Well, I took an article from this blog, alterred it a little, and submitted it to 10 directories last week. There were only 2 referrences to it in Google before I started this experiment. Today there are 65 referrences to it. And my article is now on two PR7 pages to boot… one is the EzineArticles directory, but the other is a normal website that has picked up my article as part of the website content. My link is the only outgoing link on that PR7 page. I believe that that link alone will pay for article announcer in a 12 month period.

I’m convinced… there’s no doubt in my mind that Article Announcer is a quality product. I had my doubts when I saw the price, and held off buying it for 2 weeks.

After seeing the results I got from a small submission, I’m sold… even though I already bought it. I submitted my article to 15 more directories tonight, and this week, I’ll be submitting a good article for every website I own. This will get backlinks faster than blogging I think, not to mention the traffic increase.

The only gripe I have is that some of the sites to submit to are not accepting articles, or have broken links. I suppose the list has already gotten a little out of date… still, there’s over 100 to submit to.

That’s not to mention the thousand or so Ezines and newsletters, and announcement listings that I haven’t even tried as yet.

You can read a more detailed discription of what it does in Jason Potash’s shocking report or you can just go and Order Article Announcer Now!

How to build a website for $1,500, that will generate about $1,000 a month indefinately. Sound too good to be true? Well it’s not hard to do if you know how. All you need is some tools, the right knowledge, about 2 weeks to spare and an open mind.

Go and purchase the following softwares first, if you don’t already have them:

SEO-website builder … more than a website builder, it is the best training you can get anywhere on building Search Engine Optimized websites, bar none.

or

XCitePro … a new website building software that is as good as Dreamweaver or Frontpage, at a fraction of the price.

Keyword Results Analyzer … the best damm keywords analyzing software I have found on the Internet.

John Kings Templates are very fast loading CSS templates that are designed to work with SEO website builder. They are perfectly optimized for the search engines.

Which to buy from SEO Website Builder and XSitePro?… I can’t decide fopr you, I suggest you go check each out and make your own decision. SEO-wsb will teach you more about SEO techniques, but Xsite Pro will probably make prettier websites.

Use WordTracker to find your keyword lists, and import them into KRA, which you use to find about ½ a dozen keywords to make your main pages (selling pages) These will be high paying keyword phrases, pertinent to what you are selling. Probably low KEI, but having high number of searches.

Then find about 200 profitable keyword phrases to build individual article pages on… these would be words with KEI higher than 10 - 15 and less than about 500 competing pages in Google .

Write your 200 articles based on the keyword phrases you selected above, or alternatively pay someone to write them for you @ $5 - $6 per article - $1,000 - $1,200

TOTAL cost so far… about $1,500 max including domain name and 12 months hosting.

Build your site, with affiliate program links, adsense etc. and upload it.

Put a WordPress Blog on your homepage, and links to your static pages in the sidebar menu of the blog article pages to your blog (link to your sitemap at least, and to your article sitemap).

Alternatively make your whole website a blog. This is a cheap way out, and I don’t know how it will work. Regardless, you must put a WordPress blog on your site somewhere.

Only upload you main pages and about 10 articles initially. Add a new article to your site every 4 days to a week.

Make an entry to your blog each day for a few weeks, then add an abreviated version of each article to your blog each week… not using the same words.

Start looking for link partners, but I don’t sweat that too much. Submit edited versions of some of your articles to the article directories… ezine articles is very good to start. If they accept your articles, they go on PR6 or 7 pages, with your links in them.

There’s a lot more, but a 200 article content site ought to get 1,000 to 1,500 visitors a day within 6 to 12 months. Once you start to rise in the SERPS, begin to write articles on higher competition keywords, and so increase you visitors and income as you go. Being a content site you will get about 5,000 to 8,000 hits a day, so if your website theme is based on a high paying niche, you will do very well.

1,000 to 1,500 visitors daily should earn you $1,000 to $1,500 a month fairly easily in time.

You now have the software and the knowledge to build a new site every week or two. The only thing that will slow you down is getting content written… and the only thing that slows that down, is having the money to pay the writers.
