Unique Article Wizard is a new article submission service started by Dr Noel Swanson that offers article posting with a twist.

How this Article Submission Service Works?
Within the interface, there is a special article recreation feature that allows you to create unique versions of the article you submit. Each of these unique articles is then distributed.
The feature is similar to JetSpinner except that it is much easier to set up an article. If you have any experience with JetSpinner, you will understand that it is no simple task to get an article ready for posting.
Once the article is set up, you can schedule it accordingly to post on the same day or any other day in the future.
How many Article Directories does Unique Article Wizard Post to?
On top of hundreds of article directories, Unique Article Wizard also submits your articles to blogs such as Blogger blogs and WordPress blogs. In total, this cool article submission service will post it to over 700 article directories, websites and blogs.
The reason why Unique Article Wizard is unique is its ability to post your articles to blogs. From my observation and testing, many of the blogs are established high PR blogs. We all know the positive impact posting on high PR web pages can bring to our website rankings.
Try buying a link on a PR 7 or 8 blog at any of the advertising networks and you are likely to be handed a bill of $40 to $100….and it is a monthly bill. And repeat that for a few links and you can easily choke up a couple of hundreds of dollars just in getting quality backlinks.
Avoiding Duplicate Content
Since each article is uniquely created, you can easily escape the duplicate content filter in Google, Yahoo and MSN. Each article is highly readable and the entire article can be written from scratch and set up within an hour.
The trouble with most article submission services such as iSnare is the de-indexing of article pages from the search engine results. But you will only encounter that when the article submission service takes one article and mass submit it to hundreds of article directories at the same time. This happens too frequently.
When you submit an article using an average article submission service, the service takes your one article and distributes it to tons of article directories.
You will initially see a high number of search results in Google. Each represents a new article page and backlink to your website. The article pages are indexed by Google over a period of 2 to 3 weeks. Soon after that, the number starts to stabilize and dwindle as time goes by.
When that happens, your links get fewer and so is your ranking in the search engines.
Unique Article Wizard, on the other hand, produces a different article each time it posts to an article directory. This ensures that the article pages are unique to the search engines and hence stick stubbornly in the search engine indexing. Your website link popularity improves over time and you get more traffic and sales.
While the article submission service costs $67 per month, which can be pricey for some online marketers, it is not costly at all to those who saw the value Unique Article Wizard provides:
1. Creates unique article versions
2. Submitting to not only article directories but blogs and websites (700 over websites)
3. Backlinks from high PR blogs
4. Scheduling of article submission
5. Unlimited article submissions
Unique Article Wizard is a service worth considering when choosing an article submission service.

Data as of December 13, 2006
Article Marketer as an article submission service does offer a good value compared to its competitors. However, there are some areas which I felt need improvement.
Cons:
1. Strict Requirements on Keyword Density
Each article is reviewed stringently prior to distribution. I find the keyword count requirement too stringent for good. Submitting a keyword-optimized article is a MUST in order for the article to rank well in the search engines.
So being too strict and limiting the number of times a keyword can be repeated in the article actually pulls the keyword density down. This can backfire your plans to optimize your article.
2. Distribution of EzineArticles Does Not Seem to be Working
Even though the list shows EzineArticles directory as one of those which they distribute our articles to, it does not seem to work properly. Despite the report showing that the submission is successful, a quick check at EzineArticles showed otherwise.
But for the rates they offer and the wide distribution network they have, Article Marketer is an excellent article submission service with a good reputation.
