I write articles and am always submitting them to these article directories and have always thought that it would be great if I could build one of these but the problem has always been getting people to post articles into these article directories. I first triad ArticleDashboard which you can get for free but then you have to configure it yourself, You can pay the developers
$50 to do this and another $25 to sell you a database of 3,000 articles.
I found a product by David Zohar called articledirectorypro which for $67 you get an installer plus some nice bonuses which I tried myself at www.nosugarcoating.net/Articles which looks great but there was still the problem of getting articles. When you have an article directory you are always getting fresh content that the search engines love and I was thinking of offering new publishers on my site some great free products for posting articles but then I was still looking at an expense for advertising the site plus this would still take some time before
I would start seeing writers posting their articles.
I finally found an answer to all this at a cost of less than $50. Some days I would see only a couple hundred new articles while other days I would see over a thousand new articles. I have looked at my stats and I have seen 7 bots spidering my site at least once per day. Plus I have several imbedded affiliate links and Google Adsense ads on every page which change based on the content of each article. My new site is www.always-free-content.com and currently there are over 6,000 articles plus a list of publishers of over 1,600. You can't go wrong with this from any point that I have discovered.ages they direct you to these are called Squeeze pages where they give you so little info and then if you want to get more you have to give them your name and email address. Once they have this information they now will send you other emails offering you advice but also making offers for other products.
My son, Jacob, heard a radio annexing the other day, actually it was a commercial, but saying how you could get a Free Laptop computer just for answering a few short questions. I visited this site and at first they just get your info and then before you go on they make all these offers. Keep in mind that for every offer you say yes to that you have to fill out another form with a lot more information. After about an hour and a Gazillion questions they took me to a screen saying that I was almost half way there. I closed my browser right away because I did not want to have to fill out offers on another 1,000 pages. I did find out about 2 marketers who used these types of sites to get subscribers, both of them were these No Money down real estate gurus which I'm sure you have seen.
Even free software still has a cost. You may pay almost a $1000 for a Microsoft product but at least the support for the first ninety days won't cost you anything. Free software however offers very little and sometimes no support. I heard a rumor recently that Microsoft was going to be offering low cost or free hosting but then what will they be charging per minute for support?
