Found two more tools that I really like. Magic Article Rewriter and Magic Article Submitter. I bought them both. If you have any need to re-write articles to splash around to satellite properties and article directories then this is the tool that can make it happen easily. I tried out Leger’s tool, The Best Spinner. It’s not. Magic Article Rewriter most certainly is. And it is cheaper. And it integrates nicely with Magic Article Submitter which has a database of around 1,200 article directories to submit to. Honestly, I’ve never seen an easier submission tool than this.
So check it: I threw a PLR article into MAR. I bought the token database as well so it became a simple push button exercise to “rewrite” the thing. It instantly became 45% spun. It read perfectly fine. I made a few extra adjustments so it would be at least half to 60% unique. The token system is easy and typical.
Here is the cool as shit thing about the tool. It has an export button to your favorite article services like UAW and AMA. It adjusted the article for the AMA format. I opened up AMA dropped the article in and went through and added additional sentences where possible (For those in AMA you know what I’m doing). That article in, let’s say 10 minutes, became 100% unique to splash across the blog network.
Then I turned my attention to MAS. I created a profile. Probably 75-80% of the directories accepted my registration. And registration and validation and all that crap is super quick. I set up a “real” email on a hosted domain and had it forward to a Gmail account. I continued the profile wizard after waiting about 15 minutes to make sure I would scoop up all the validation emails that would trickle into Gmail.
Once I had registered the majority of the emails, I ran the keyword search to make sure I submitted to the right categories. Yea, it only submits to those directories that have the right category to submit to. Slick. I added the article, summary, resource box and tags into MAS. All fields spinnable. Clicked the big green button. Within 15 minutes or so I had 400 articles in the directories. 200 or so were pretty much instantly approved. All dubious quality of course but backlinks nonetheless. It has a nice submission check feature to see if your article was approved. You can schedule submissions too. It never felt like a burden.
Bought a lot of shit recently. Micro Niche Finder. Market Samurai. Magic Article Rewriter. Magic Article Submitter. Cost me $300. Shit, my dad was self employed and would spend thousands on tools for his shop if he thought it would speed the process up or make things easier on him and the guys. Some worked. Some didn’t. But the bottom line was better processes and more money. I understand that nobody approves of buying tools. That everything should be done manually and for free. That all content must pass the rigors of Google quality. Well, nobody is playing by the rules. They haven’t since the day I started slinging websites. If backlinks are what Daddy G wants then backlinks is what I will give him. I don’t want to sling utter shit though. MAR will rewrite a good article into many versions so I can distribute it without worry across my tiers and into AMA. MAS slings an article into hungry directories. Tie it up with a nice BMD run.
I wish it hasn’t come to this but it’s all about backlinks. Maybe Google figures out another way to rank our webpages tomorrow. Maybe backlinks mean nothing by summertime. But right now the one with the most/best backlinks win. Sorry it’s just the way it is. You may get lucky with some groovy long tail keywords and satisfying SEO but it’s only a matter of time before the competition takes you down if you don’t have copious amounts of backlinks. Maybe domain age will save you for a while. But there are some pretty big forces out there smashing the web with backlinks 24/7. The tools and networks are mind-blowing. The competition fierce. Autoblogging is what directory generators were in ‘04. Auto review sites are eating the web up. And that shit has gotten way more sophisticated.
No, I don’t want to sling shit. The article I drop into MAR is one that would be good enough to post into Ezine Articles or onto a money site. MAR makes very readable copies of it that you control. The article directories are very happy to receive your article. Believe it. They have Adsense and affiliate offers they want folks to click. And if someone scrapes your article from the directory, then that’s good for you, the directory and the dude that wants your content on his site. Lots of wins all around. Isn’t link sharing and content distribution what Google says it wants anyway? Sure you are manufacturing interest in your site with all these copies of your article that you hope Google’s algos interpret as unique content. It’s the game. Think Daddy G is playing fair?
I figure I either have to keep up or cut grass this summer for extra cash. I will keep trying to build sites people give a shit about but so far I haven’t created the next Mashable. But what I am creating is many little sites that are collecting buckets of change. Collect enough change and pretty soon you are talking real money. But all these sites need backlinks and content. I don’t have time to write college dissertations for every webpage. MAR and MAS is my edge.

Yep, MAS is nice, runs everyday for me. The girl that spins my articles likes Power Article Rewriter the best and she has all of them.
I also use SubmitEase for non Spammy Articles because I can create custom directory list.
The best article spinning system there is is Link Dozer. It can spin 2000 70% unique all very readable. It takes a while to set up a run but the content can be put anywhere even on your money sites. Not for beginners though. Expensive too.
Your right, the tools get more sophisticated everyday.
BUT if you use the automated tools the way everyone else does its effectiveness diminishes. SeNuke is a good example, not as affective as it used to be even though its a good tool. Same with Xrumor, got to be real careful with that one.
The best tools are home made, thats why Ubot is probably the best of them all.
Dave // Mar 2, 2010 at 10:23 am
How were the results with AMA? Do you think it is preferable to MAS? I think I will try one or the other to start with. And a commission for my favorite IM realist.
A timely post from you as I am thinking of finally submitting to buying some tools to ramp things up a few notches. I just can’t get my head around spun content. I see it all the time on my article site and frankly it is usually crap.
That and the fact I will be polluting the web even more. Oh, how I wish it did not have to be like this. Please google just love me for the lovely blog posts I write, not the crap links I make for myself. Sigh.

Hey Splork,
Thought you might find this encouraging.

Enjoy!
Splork // Mar 2, 2010 at 2:13 pm
Hey Dave. AMA submits articles to blogs that are in the “network”. MAS submits to article directories. They are different but that is good IMO. Lots of different IPs that my article/links will be sitting on.
If you aren’t interested in the standard spin from something like MAS then you might like AMA. You add your article to the system then it gives you a chance to rewrite every single sentence, multiple times. It’s really up to you how good they are and how many you do. The system then spins the article as it distributes it. Each post has a different variation of all the sentences you added. It’s easy and creates articles that are just as good as you make it. It’s monthly which sucks.
As far as MAS, the better your article starts out the better it will be spun. Garbage in, garbage out kind of thing. I hate that it basically comes down to polluting the web with more crap but the quality of all your satellite sites and article submissions, etc. is really up to the creator.
Hard to say which is better among all the tools. I know what I like. But pick 10 marketers from the bunch and you’ll get 10 different suggestions. I fully utilize the money back guarantees.
Splork // Mar 2, 2010 at 2:23 pm
Hey bk. Yea I don’t necessarily buy tools that are blackhat or those that I have to worry about effectiveness as it pertains to many users. I tend to buy stuff that will make things easier like MAS and MAR. Backlinks will be important for the foreseeable future. Article directories are happy to receive my gifts. I like being able to take a stack of PLR and build 3-4 sites across different platforms with the same content that has been easily rewritten. I try to provide decent information that a G-engineer wouldn’t have a problem with every step of the way. SeNuke and Brute Force Whatever are short term gimmicks that will always be running from Google. MAS and MAR can run to Google as the content it distributes and generates is as good as you provide.
Cat // Mar 2, 2010 at 4:10 pm
Splork, could you elaborate on why you think MAR is better than The Best Spinner? I got TBS at the discount price last month, and am happy with it so far. However I’m not too experienced with spinning, so would be open to trying MAR at some point if it’s a lot better or easier. I’m just wondering exactly how they compare…
thanks
Splork // Mar 2, 2010 at 4:39 pm
I used the beta version of TBS and didn’t like all the clicking. With MAR you can purchase the extra database token package ($30) which allows you to make a single click which will ID all the synonyms and put in the tokens. Saves you from having to go word by word. Then you can go in and clean it up. If you do like the click by click method then I think MAR handles that a little slicker as well. It opens up a box and you simply click the words you want to use then click the arrow button for the next.
You should be able to get an idea of how they compare by checking out the video on MAR website.
It’s hard for me to suggest you make another purchase. The differences are subtle but maybe not enough to warrant you spending more money.
You can always get MAR and try it out. If you don’t like it then ask for your money back.
Joshua Beidler // Mar 2, 2010 at 7:52 pm
Hi, Splork. I’ve been reading your blog for awhile, but this is my first comment.
I recently bought MAR after looking at a bunch of different spinning programs and web apps. Most of them weren’t any better than a text editor. TBS looked pretty good, but I didn’t like the idea of paying a yearly fee.
I’m happy with MAR, and after reading your blog, it looks like I will spring for the tokens database, and maybe MAS as well.
Splork // Mar 2, 2010 at 8:29 pm
Hey Joshua. Thanks for reading. If you have MAR, I think you’ll be happy with the database. It really speeds an already speedy program up. And honestly, MAS will blow your mind at the speed. I’ve used a few article directory submitters and had pretty much all but stopped auto submitting with tools. This thing is amazing. I love the ability to drop the article is the correct category automatically. It’s brilliant. The only thing that gives me pause is the directories themselves most probably have little authority. Over time that may change with many of them and my articles will be along for the ride. Not to mention those new ones that get added. It’s pretty cool.
Hamish // Mar 3, 2010 at 4:13 am
Hello Splork,
Sounds good. Am I right in guessing that you spin your base article, submit it to AMA and then manually add the alternative sentences?
I recently got Dragon Naturally Speaking – it works great for the extra sentences in AMA. Less so for UAW – it still works but not quite as well. A bit of cut and paste is required. Anyway, it is actually saving me a lot of time right now and is somewhat cheaper than
the latest magic e-book.
If I were to use MAR, I presume I could do two extra spins and then submit to UAW? Would the difference in the finished three articles be just about enough?
Best Regards,
Cat // Mar 3, 2010 at 8:20 am
Thanks Splork. The token feature sounds especially good. I’m not buying anything else right now, but I’ll probably give MAR a try at some point – as you say, I can get a refund if I don’t like it.
Zeeray // Mar 3, 2010 at 8:48 am
I had MAR for a while but never tried their token database. It took me couple of hours to add my own tokens but still the spin rate was in 20%s. And I don’t have AMA or UAW subscriptions either!
Thanks for your review. I totally agree with your philosophy about spending money on tools.
BTW, the same guy sells Magic Rank Checker. Have you tried that? I really like that product. It has some bugs, but works fine overall. You enter tons of keywords and your site URL. It brings up your SERP for all major SEs. You can set it to run every day.
JJ // Mar 3, 2010 at 9:30 am
To find the high PR directories in MAS try this.
Wait until MAS finishes submitting your new profile to all of the directories. Before you click finish, right click on the directories list, select all, and copy. Next take the list to excel and clean everything off except for the url’s.
Then use an online multiple pagerank checker to find the PR of each directory. Go to Manage Article Directories in MAS and delete the ones you don’t want.
Splork // Mar 3, 2010 at 10:04 am
Hamish:
“Am I right in guessing that you spin your base article, submit it to AMA and then manually add the alternative sentences?”
That’s right. MAR leaves a few sentences alone that it doesn’t know what to do with. Plus I add in a couple with my links for AMA. And maybe a few jsut for the heck of it then submit to AMA. Then you can add the alternative sentences where possible. Takes me maybe 5-10 minutes.
DNG: I’ve always thought about trying it but I feel like I have to type out my thoughts rather than speak them. It would take a whie to get used to it.
“If I were to use MAR, I presume I could do two extra spins and then submit to UAW? Would the difference in the finished three articles be just about enough?”
I don’t know how UAW works but MAR has an export specifically for it. You aren’t really adding a spun article into the systems rather an article with all the tokens need for the spin in those systems. In theory you should be dropping a lot of different articles all over the place. I try to add as many variations within MAR as I can without obsessing over it for submitting to MAS. And I add a few extra variations for AMA.
Splork // Mar 3, 2010 at 10:08 am
Hey JJ. It’s a good idea. I’d be curious about the authority on those. My guess is there are a lot of PR0-2 directories. But that’s fine. Some of those will get better. Some will die. Others will get added.
Splork // Mar 3, 2010 at 10:09 am
Zeeray, I haven’t tried that tool. Sounds useful actually.
Dave // Mar 3, 2010 at 1:21 pm
I signed up for MAS and MAR under your ID. Cudos to my fave AM realist. After getting to grips with it a little the spinner seems good.
As of yet there are not too many approved articles. And my concern is that those that are accepted if you actually click on the supplied URL 9 times out of 10 I am getting a 404. Have you actually checked to make sure that the articles are actually live?
I will take a look again tomorrow to see what the score is after the bulk have hopefully been approved but I wonder how reliable the stats are for articles that they say are accepted.
What has your experience been Splork? Did you check the URL’s to see how many were actually really live?
I feel dirty too.
Somehow a spinner seems wrong. But I feel I am going to have to go down this road, even just a little to keep ahead of the game.
It’s all a game anyway.
Splork // Mar 3, 2010 at 3:29 pm
Thanks Dave. I hope you like the products. If not get your money back. I hate to recommend shit that people ultimately have no use for. But I think you’ll really dig these products.
The stats below are from a profile I ran yesterday for two articles to about 400 directories. I like that I got about 70 links to each of two sites yesterday. 70 backlinks. How many did you all get for your sites? Just sayin’. They are fairly specific articles and I chose the categories correctly. Not bad acceptance the first day. I expect the rest will trickle in over the next few weeks. And that is a good thing. Wouldn’t want 400 links in one day. Might look suspicious.
I’ve checked the links for a few of those that say they have accepted the articles and it’s all good.
Splork // Mar 3, 2010 at 3:41 pm
Hey Don. AMA is indeed Article Marketing Automation from Marc Lindsey at PLRPro.
Frank C // Mar 3, 2010 at 6:02 pm
I almost bought MAR and I may still buy it but there is way too much “Cargo Cult” SEO BS on their sales page. This makes me doubt the quality of their product because it indicates either excessive scare tactic hype or a lack of knowledge.
After all, the only thing that it takes to disprove their out-of-whack duplicate content statements is to search for things like music lyrics, news articles, press releases and so forth and so on.
JJ // Mar 4, 2010 at 7:36 am
@ Splork
You are exactly right. Most are n/a, 0, 1, 2, but there are some 5’s and up. I was surprised to find a couple of 6’s and 7’s. Those were typically for specific niches and can be cherry picked when needed.
The problem is getting your articles accepted. Like you said some are dead, so when you submit to say 600 you typically get far less accepted. It’s a shotgun approach.
Splork // Mar 4, 2010 at 8:56 am
Hey Frank. The programmer is a Russian apparently. I think the program is very good and I’ve tried a lot of them. I think he probably just saw how all the other IMers promote their shit with scare tactics and such and decided that’s how it’s done. Maybe I’m just being naive but I really doubt he knows better.
The bottom line for me is that no duplicate content is better than duplicate content and for $80 this solves the problem quickly for me. If this program wasn’t fast and relatively inexpensive I would happily continue to blast away with duplicates. But for my time and money this has made it too easy to simply change things up a bit. Coupled with AMA , I’m blasting away with a lot of different articles and mixing in a lot of different backlink texts. Whether Google has the ability to figure out the nuances and differences of the same article and penalize me for it may be debatable and one that I’m comfortable in the so-called risk.
I may be screwing myself in the long run with spun content but I’ve never been this productive.
Splork // Mar 4, 2010 at 9:04 am
Yea I don’t expect to get a huge batch accepted. But you know that’s fine. It took nothing to submit. Imagine how much it would suck to manually submit to some of these site and still not get approved. For the money this tool cost I’m fairly happy with the results.
Dave // Mar 6, 2010 at 3:15 pm
Anyone know more on how Link Dozer’s spinning compares to MAR? And with MAR, can you add to the database if you want to, to give it even more synonyms?
Splork // Mar 9, 2010 at 10:55 am
Almost a week since the last submission run with this article. Curious how the submission process proceeds so I thought I’d run the check again. I like how 50 more articles dripped into the directories.
Gary // Mar 10, 2010 at 10:10 pm
Hey Splork! Magic Article Rewriter sounds like holy grail to me. Is it readable? How about grammar error? I’ve tried The Best Spinner but it totally steal my time to make a spun article readable with minimal grammatical error.
And yeah, I’m kinda lazy ass guy, copy and paste is my favorite. But I know daddy G won’t give me an excuse. That’s why I hope this MAR could produce unique, readable, grammatical error free in one magic button to save my ass and for the sake of my landing page survival in SERP.
I know this is quiet high expectation, but I think this is what are the most IMers waiting and dreamed about.
Crowdmanage // Mar 11, 2010 at 1:07 am
Court still advocates Unique Article Writer. What are your thoughts Splork? Am I wasting my $67 per month?
Crowdmanage // Mar 11, 2010 at 1:12 am
what is AMA?
Splork // Mar 11, 2010 at 8:23 am
Article Marketing Automation.
UAW is fine. I prefer AMA but that doesn’t mean UAW is not valuable. Many people prefer it over AMA.
If you are going to rely on free traffic to get to your site then you need some way of spreading your backlinks. UAW or AMA will help.
Splork // Mar 11, 2010 at 8:28 am
Gary, you’ll just have to try out MAR to see if it can live up to your expectations. If you start out with an article that reads good then it won’t degrade much when you spin it. You can automate the spin with magic tokens or go word by word and add a variant.
I use MAR for all my satellite sites, article directory submissions and other sites. For so-called money sites I still write my own stuff.
MAR is great for taking all that crap PLR on your disk and spinning it and splashing it out to all the free blog outposts.
Crowdmanage // Mar 11, 2010 at 8:36 pm
Thanks Splork. I am making $2.50 a day after a couple of years in the racket, need to step it up
Paul // Apr 6, 2010 at 4:49 am
Hey Splork,
Thanks man. Haven’t been here for a few weeks – been busy doing just this with MAS & MAR. Like you say, quick and easy tools to get bucket loads of links. Glad to see Great Minds Think Alike.
If it helps anyone – I’ve also been using spun articles from MAR submitted into MyArticleNetwork – allows up to three links and above the fold (anywhere in the text actually) – not free, but plenty of quality backlinks.
Cheers Splork.

I am using The Best Spinner (TBS) right now and Automatic Article Submitter. I like TBS, but AAS sucks. When I used it with the spinned articles on TBS, only one version of the article got submitted to all the directories. What I wanted was to submit different versions of the article in each directory – that is suposed to be the mail IDEA. I have sent an email to AAS but no reply after 3days.
I am comtemplating on cancelling AAS and to try MAS instead but I don’t know if it’s compatible with TBS such that every time I submit an article, each directory will get a different version.
Can anyone help me on this??
Splork // May 5, 2010 at 8:27 am
Well, I quickly spun your first paragraph (see below) with MAR (I used the Magic Tokens for speed). If your spinner uses the same tags then MAS will work for you.
