Article Marketing With Miracle Traffic Bot – Not A Scam, But There’s Something 100 Times Better
Seriously – much as I would like to make bucketloads of affiliate commissions, I need to be candid here. It is almost ridiculous how much manual intervention is necessary in order to operate this “bot” after installing it. I only verified the article submission features, so cannot discuss the video and social bookmarking aspects. But here are the main procedures I needed to go through to get an article on forex expert advisors published, as set out a few days ago in my bot review site at the Botfarm:
1) Enroll with the 10 article directories available to the program, including completing anti-bot “captcha” boxes.
2) Record all usernames and passwords in the bot.
3) Watch your inbox for verification links to activate new accounts.
4) Write the review (around 500 words), the summary, the keywords, the resource box and the Address linking back to your website (which is the main purpose for doing this).
5) Hit the Start button.
6) Jot down which submissions are successful and which have problems (about half of each in my case).
7) Watch the inbox to see the reasons for failure. What is a pen name and why didn’t I know that I needed one?.
8) Complete compulsory information on failing article sites and resubmit omitted articles.
9) Find that the reason for failure on some sites was the mere mention of gambling terminology and realise that my future article submissions may already be in trouble….
To be fair, most of the above should be one-off tasks and I was enthused by the concept of getting my articles out there in the public domain from a single submission. But it’s all a far cry from the image conjured up by the advertising copy (ie one-click submission). And of course, there’s the rub. Just as with supposedly game-changing Expert Advisors, foolproof roulette systems and revolutionary blackjack bots, reality often seems to fall short of expectations. I was resigned to lowering my expectations and living with Miracle Traffic Bot’s semi-manual method of article submission. After all, I did get some articles accepted and saw a little uptick in my site traffic. However, a blog reader who is also a developer sent me an email, mentioning that he had written a bot focussing exclusively on article marketing and that it had vastly more capacity than the Miracle Traffic Bot. I tested it and found that if anything he was too modest about the program’s capabilities. Among other benefits, it:
1) has a database of over 1300 article directories as opposed to the 10 in MTB.
2) automates not only the signup process, but also the confirmation mail needed to activate accounts!
3) incorporates sophisticated spinner software to create multiple similar but not identical versions of your original article.
4) includes a scheduler to slowly feed articles to all of your selected targets (or you can blast them all out at once in a shock and awe campaign).
In my first test I used a free email address, which is not recommended by the developer, but still got over 300 successful signups. I submitted a brief article which launched my family online bookstore to the first page of Google overnight! For my second test I used a better email address and chose to drive traffic to my bot review blog. This time I had a first page in most keywords and an absolute first position for Making Money Forex Bots by the time I had logged out of the software and entered Google.
My conclusion is clear enough. And I can’t really be accused of bias since I am both a buyer and an affiliate of each of the bots. Until I check out the video and bookmarking features of Miracle Traffic Bot I can’t say for sure that I will be seeking a refund. But as far as article marketing is concerned, there is only one bot I will be using from now on – the new Article Marketing Robot from Vince Severson.
