Unique Article Wizard: First Impressions

Warning: this post is riddled with affiliate links!

Last week I signed up for Unique Article Wizard. For those that don’t know this is a service that lets you post articles to the blogs and article directories in their network. It’s web based so you log into the site and then enter your article and they do the rest of the work. This might sound pretty simple but their interface isn’t that great.

You can paste in an article in spintax form that you have spun somewhere else, perhaps in The Best Spinner or you can submit an article and two rewrites of that article. This is the option I have used so far and is probably the best for people who don’t like spinning or don’t own any spinning software.

What type of Content can you Submit?

When it comes to submitting an article and two rewrites into Unique Article Wizard the articles and rewritten versions need to have the same amount of paragraphs (seven plus). The paragraphs are then interchanged to make lots of different articles. For this reason paragraph one in each article and rewrite must be on the same topic but written differently. Same for paragraph two and so on. You also need to submit lots of unique titles to help improve the submission rates. For one of my articles I ordered two rewrities of an article I had previously ordered from The Content Authority. This was quite expensive so for the second article I hired someone from Odesk who charged $5 to write a 500 word article and then do two rewrites of it. Both articles got accepted so I guess the cheaper one from Odesk was good enough. Unique Article Wizard also offer an article writing service and charge $9.99 for an article and two rewrites. You could always write them yourself though!

Inserting Links

You can put two links in your article with at least one going in the resource box. This means you can put a link in the body of the text but when I tried this I found that some of my articles had this link removed. For this reason I recommend you put both links in the resource box. You can spin the resource box and the links so you can link to lots of sites and/or pages in one submission.

Submission Rates

You can choose how many times a day you want your article to be submitted. The minimum is 20, I’m not sure what the maximum is but for my articles, so far, I have chosen 50. In the future I think I will do 20 to make it look at bit more natural. It takes a few days for the submission to kick in after you have entered your article but then each day you get an email with a list of the submissions that have been made. So far I have only submitted two articles and both have gotten about 160 submission.

Index Rates

I’ve only submitted two articles so far but for the first article it went down like this:

  • Submissions: 162
  • Indexed: 95

and the other one went like this:

  • Submissions: 159
  • Indexed: 99

These are only after a few days of the job being completed so there is a chance more could get indexed over the coming days and weeks. You could always put the URLs of the non-indexed articles into a pinger or indexer and speed things up a bit. A good old fashioned Scrapebox or Xrummer blast probably wouldn’t hurt either.

SERP Movement

I used one submission on a new site and linked to a set of Web 2.0 sites that link to my site. Therefore none of these links went directly to the money site. That site hasn’t moved in the SERPs.

For the other submission I used it on different site. I used one link to link directly to the money site and the other link was spun and linked to one of 10 Web 2.0 sites that link back to my money site. This site moved from #7 to #4 in the SERPs. Although until the recent Google update that occurred mid-October it had been #1 for this keyword.

Final Thoughts

So with nearly 100 indexed posts for each article, and as each article contains two links I got 200 new backlinks to my sites for each submission. This sounds pretty good. But looking at the sites the articles are submitted to, they aren’t the best and if you are not writing the articles yourself it could get quite expensive especially when you factor in the $67 per month subscription fee.

If you have already hired a virtual assistant with time on their hands this might be a good way to keep them busy. Or if you have a cheap source of content who is able to do spinning or rewrites then you could make the most of this tool.

Doing it on the Cheap

One approach could be to write and spin/rewrite a load of articles. Sign up for one month and submit all those articles. Get them published then cancel your account. The articles should stay where they were published and you will have gotten your links and only paid up for one month. You might want to check how many articles you can submit a day and what does happen to your articles once you leave the programme.

I’m going to stick with it for a while as I am using it to try and rank my new Adsense sites but I’m not entirely convinced so far. But the proof will be in the pudding and if it gets my sites ranked and they make money then it will have worked. I guess it all comes down to results and if you can make the most of the tools you are using…

Alternatives to Unique Article Wizard

A cheaper alternative would be the Article Marketing Robot which does a similar job but is installed on your computer and runs from there rather than being web based. It has a much larger list of sites you can submit to but it will take up your machines resources as it does so. It is a one time fee rather than monthly subscription and they do offer a free 5 day trial so go check it out.

    Not checked recently, but I was using Fiverr for UAW submissions. I supplied the original article and they sorted all the rewriting and submission. Obviously if you are paying $5 for the articles to be rewritten then Fiverr would be cheaper.

    How did you find UAW? I am thinking of buying that for my submission. Are you happy with the way it works?

    Hey Joe! Long time no speak, I’m pleased to say that’s because I’ve had my head down working away and actually earning money for a change!

    I’ve used UAW before, and I still use it now. I found the system excellent at getting good distribution for your articles and I’d recommend it to anyone with the spare cash.

    It did have one bad point though and that was that the article system seemed kind of dated? The ‘spun’ articles that you submit weren’t as well spun as those that you would get using Article Marketing Robot. This meant that some of the articles may come across as a bit duplicated…

    I suppose that doesn’t really matter if you just want lots of links though.

    Another good thing that I like about UAW though is that they also have a plugin for your wordpress blogs where you can accept articles automatically from them. Ive found this an excellent way to flesh out some of my ‘mini-nets’ with relatively good, relavant and targetted content.

    @WhiteKnight Good to see you back and glad to here you are going well. I agree about the UAW spinning method but at least the articles remain more readable I suppose as spinning at word level can sometimes lead to messy articles.

    What other tools are you using?

    Cheers!

    @Devine Power seems to be doing ok so far, just getting the content to put into it is the bottle neck.

    That is what exactly what I am doing. Write one original article and have 2 rewritten to post in UAW. Thank you for sharing these ideas…

    I haven’t tried doing an article spinning yet. But I’m learning how to. That is why your post is a big help for me in researching some ideas about spinning. Thanks for the ideas!
