article marketing and related websites/services

[eStew]

Hi all,

I'm working on the 90DC and have some questions regarding article marketing generally and related websites/services. I'm still trying to figure out some of the details of how this whole process works and I feel like I'm lacking a “big picture” understanding of everything that is/is supposed to be going on, so I'm hoping to benefit from those with more experience.

1.How does AMA fit into the overall picture? Does it replace, or complement, things like Isnare.com or Articlemarketer.com? If Isnare etc should still be used, which is better now: Isnare or Articlemarketer (or something else)?

2.What about using software like Callen's Article Submitter (instead of / in addition to?)?

3.Is the PLRPro SIS (rumorist.com) still something we should be using?

4.Whatever the answers to the above questions, I assume it's still a good idea to manually post to high PR sites? If so, is the list of the best ones still the same as the 5 listed in the 90DC pdf:
ezinearticles.com
articledashboard.com/
articlefever.com/
article99.com/
buzzle.com/

5.At the level of sites done for the 90DC, are there any paid directory submissions that are worth the money?

6.Finally, in a somewhat different vein, do most people use pseudonyms for articles they post on their blog sites? In article directories? Different ones for different sites?

I know that lots of the answers to these questions are subjective, but I would really appreciate any input.

Thanks much,
Brad

Hello,
I will do my best to give you the answers that I think are right and what I use.
1.How does AMA fit into the overall picture? Does it replace, or complement, things like Isnare.com or Articlemarketer.com? If Isnare etc should still be used, which is better now: Isnare or Articlemarketer (or something else)? You can get content using ama or you can submit to ama. You article will then be put on other blogs that are in the same niche and in return you will recieve back links from those sites, provided you include a link (keyword rich) back to your site. So I would say they are used with the above not as a replacement, You can also use IAW also, which is good.
2.What about using software like Callen's Article Submitter (instead of / in addition to?)? You can use that software as well as others, I use article post robot, but the above will work.
3.Is the PLRPro SIS (rumorist.com) still something we should be using? Yes, still use, a link is a link back to your site.
4.Whatever the answers to the above questions, I assume it's still a good idea to manually post to high PR sites? If so, is the list of the best ones still the same as the 5 listed in the 90DC pdf:
ezinearticles.com
articledashboard.com/
articlefever.com/
article99.com/
buzzle.com/
I have posted in this forum a link to the 15 sites that I use all the time, not sure if you found it, so I will include it here:
1: EzineArticles.com
2: Buzzle.com
3: ArticleDashboard.com
4: Amazines.com
5: IdeaMarketers.com
6: ArticlesBase.com
7: ArticleAlley.com
8: EasyArticles.com
9: GoArticles.com
10: ArticleCube.com
10: WebProNews.com (Internet Marketing Topics Only)
11: SearchWarp.com
12: SelfSEO.com (Webmaster related topics only)
13: AfroArticles.com
14: ArticlesFactory.com
15: ArticleBiz.com
5.At the level of sites done for the 90DC, are there any paid directory submissions that are worth the money? I don't use any, but you could pay for yahoo to be include there.
6.Finally, in a somewhat different vein, do most people use pseudonyms for articles they post on their blog sites? In article directories? Different ones for different sites? I use a pen name when I submit. If you are working different niches, then it is wise to get a pen name that makes sense for that niche. I guess the thought is how could someone be an expert in 50 different niches.
I hope I have answered your questions. If you have others, just let me know.
Good luck
Steve
