Do you know that there are article publishing services that will feed your Wordpress blogs with a neverending stream of content? - COMPLETELY FREE OF CHARGE.

Maybe you did.

But did you know you cannot just turn the tap on and expect the system to run flawlessly.

It wont.

Once you are in possession of the facts below, you might –OR might not– decide to go ahead and use one of these free autoblogging services.

But if you do use them, I’ve got some advice to keep you happy while still benefiting from the free content that is available by the shovel full if you know where to go.

With these article distribution services, the way I see it… there are 2 quality control issues. Two places where things can go wrong for the website owner who wants to publish relevant content on his or her niche blog.

1) The quality of the original article.

It’s easy for software to count the number of words in an article, so minimum length is easy to monitor. But the informational value of the 300 words is not so easy for a machine to monitor, unless you’re a Google… maybe.

For some promoters and some writers, all that matters is getting articles out there. Quality is decidedly secondary.

They speak their articles into a microphone, then use some software to turn that audio track into print. Articles like this are characterized by flawed grammar, wrong spellings, and shallow rambling content. But as long as the article has a couple of links to whatever they’re promoting, they are happy.

You’ll get a lot of articles like that… which is the point of my list below… and one of the points of this article. The other point is:

2) Do they check that the author entered the article into the right category?

In a word, no. That’s my conclusion from looking at some of the stuff that’s come down the line to just one of my websites.

Take a look at these mis-categorized articles and I think you will agree with me. This list is compiled from emails over the last week or so, and to be entirely fair about it… as well as these lulus, there were also some okay-quality articles which were in their right categories.

Enjoy the list…

WHY SO MANY BLOOPERS?

What I think is happening is that the writers want to get wide circulation for their articles so they figure there’s no point in writing 10 articles about a topic and putting them all in the same (correct) category.

That would only reach a limited (albeit targeted) part of the market.

It is better, so they reason, to hit 10 different categories so they reach 10 different marketplace segments.

HOW TO MINIMIZE THE PROBLEMS OF AUTOMATIC ARTICLE POSTING TO YOUR BLOG

1. If you’re using the service at UniqueArticleWizard.com the UAW plugin autopublishes their customers’ articles to your blog at no cost. My advice is to set the plugin to publish the new articles as drafts for a few days until you see the quality and relevance of what’s coming down the line at you. If you’re happy with what you’re receiving, deselect the Draft option and choose Publish.

Helpfully the UAW plugin gives you the option of getting an email with 3 links in it (publish, edit, or delete) for each article that arrives at your Wordpress site.

Unless you simply want to fill your blog with content and it doesnt matter what that content is about, you will want to inspect the quality for a few days. Then you can make an informed decision.

2. If you’re using other services, they probably offer the same choices although I dont know of anyone else who will email you.

Currently I am pleased with the free article content I’m getting from ArticleAutomationMarketing.com

They have many more categories so I believe I’m getting better content targeting. AMA dont email you - they publish either as draft articles or as published articles. Because they dont email you, it’s harder (read: more work!) to check the category relevance but my hunch is that they’re doing a good job with that. You need to supply them with your Wordpress login information (which is something you dont have to do with UAW as it’s a plugin).

One extra feature you may like at ArticleAutomationMarketing is that there is an option to “Auto-Reject Articles That Are Rewritten Less Than 30%”.
