I am relatively new to article writing and submitting.

Recently, when downloaded an article submission software program that lets you submit your article to hundreds of article directories.

The software wants you to list an auto responder with your article linked to it. Evedently some directories require this.

Fist of all, I'm not sure exactly how to do this.

I am checking with the software creator, but in the mean time I just wondered if any of you have run into this?

The way it looks, I would have to set up an auto responder for every article I submit. I currently use GetResponse and Response Magic. How exactly do they want me to set this up and why is it needed?

You don't have to add anything to your article or author bio. A link from your article will simply boost the autoresponder.

If you mean you need to use an autoresponder online service, then its another question.

I don't think you need an autoresponder when submitting articles. Some article directories simply need you to verify the account creation, I guess.

Do check with the site owner, ask other article submission software owners and see what they say.

I can't think of one article site that wants anything other than your free content. If some software is making you link to something, that's BS. Either submit manually or find real software. You don't need any autoresponder.

A small nuber of directories require autoresponders, but it does exist.

Some publishers prefer to get your article from your autoresponder, because it will come formatted directly to their email address.

Yesterday, I saw a yahoo Group that was asking for autoresponders (I submit with article marketer, and they don't ask me for autoresponder!)

Basically, you just need to add your article to your autoresponder, and give your autoresponder email when you submit the article.

Article Submitter is a good software, and you can have it for Free almost everywhere. (it's not Article Submitter pro)

I use My Article Submitter,(same as Article Submitter?) which doesnt requre an autoresponder, and robofills most entries.
This saves quite a bit as I was previously using a 'paid' service ,where I was having to manually enter most of the entries at every site anyway!

Did a test run of how articles showed up on search engines both ways... not much difference.

I use article submitter pro. I think the program could have been built a little better but it does the job. There are almost 900 submission sites in the data base.

See if you can skip the "responder" thing, because there is not a direct benefit.

I use an autoresponder and to be honest I have no idea what it is doing?????

**bloggingcash** · 09-16-2006, 05:08 AM

What?

Your autoresponder send email messages automatically to your visitors, once they opt-in your "form" on your website.

Hi,
The auto-responder is actually a very powerful thing which I am trying to use now. Try GetResponse where there is a free and professional version at http://www.GetResponse.com/index/andrewbusiness

Basically there are 2 types, follow-up messages and broadcast messages
Consider the first one as the auto-pilot and the latter one as ad-hoc.

For the website that I am currently working on now, the steps are as follows
1. User Sign up
2. Confirmatory sign up
3. Instant thanks you and recommendation of one product
4. Another 3 days, another product and requesting testimonials etc.

For infor/product request type, (done by pop-up)
1. Sign up for product
2. Confirmatory
3. Thanks and refer to downloads.
4. Collect testimonials and further promote.

Remember, once set up, it is AUTO.

All this will have un-subscribe function, anti-Spam features and click-through tracking so that I monitor.

In fact, Profti-Plug-In have a 400 day autoresponders in the form of course.

And you can set multiple campaigns. Try it http://www.GetResponse.com/index/andrewbusiness

Really neat descriptions there selts!
Somebody did tell me that sites often talk about 'unlimited autoresponders' when they mean single shot replies, not a sequence of email responses - maybe in this case,the site owner wants to pull in and review/sort articles at a particular time?

Ive been asked to submit text/coc/pdf files when submitting articles, presumably for similar reasons

**MonkeyBiz** · 09-18-2006, 01:18 PM

I woudn't recommend submitting articles using automated methods.

Hi Worldwebuser,

Why do you not recommend automated submitters? Is this your thought for all automated systems? If so, why?

The reason I ask is that this submitter automatically pastes all your info in each field but you look it over and catch anything that might need adjusting before the article is submitted. I do not see the difference if you were to do it all manually.

**Prosperinet** · 09-18-2006, 07:17 PM

I have been submitting articles to only one site. ( Paid )
What are the ethics or advantages in submitting the same article to more than one?

haste makes waste.

**vorboompsio** · 09-19-2006, 08:40 AM

Well I scan them as they go in, with special attention to the 'big hitting' directories, but I'm assuming a 5-10% loss due to rejects, small changes in directories rules etc. and I wont agonize over a few losses on each article.

Only so many hours in a day; haste makes waste but time is money!

Hi,

I have used Article Submitter and you do NOT need an autoresponder.

The key to success with Article Submitter is the initial set-up of your Author Accounts with the Articles Directories. You have a choice of "Auto" or Manual i.e. you let the software automatically enter your chosen User ID & Password or you enter it manually.

I personally found it better to do it manually - it just takes a long time as there are so many Article Directories listed in the software.

Wonder if anyone can share their positive noticeable experience from submitting bulk articles.

**pegagus** · 09-19-2006, 10:33 AM

I only started writing & submitting articles in mid-July. I submitted 18 articles to only EzineArticles.com, which is probably No.2.

All my articles have been published and I noticed that several ezines and other article directories have already picked up most of my articles.

So I think, for the time being at least, it is more effective to spend the time researching & writing articles for submission to 1 or 2 directories rather than spending the time submitting to all the directories under the sun

The only thing an automated submitter will allow you to do is post information in less time. As long as you have to click categories and submit according to the particular article directory's specifications, it's not truly automated in my opinion.

I also use my article sumbitter pro, and the User Info section doesnt ask me for an autoresponder. I think you might mean the website is asking for it, but i'm not sure. I've experienced the later and I just assumed they would add it when publishing my article. I look at it as extra publicity.
