Should I use Article Submitter software?

I've downloaded Article Demon a while ago and have been trying to use it all though it hasn't been as easy to use as I would have liked.
I was just wondering what you guys feel about Article Submitting software, if it's useful or if it's a waste of time?
Regards

Article spinning pollutes the Internet with poor quality content. Google's mission is to organize the world's information. Why would Google reward sites that make their job more difficult? I would focus instead on a tactic like guest posting by creating content that people willingly publish and adds value to readers.

I would say it is a waste of time because of its unsustainable nature.

Hey Joshua, Do you recommend Submiteaze over a program like Universal Business Listing for submitting sites to directories? https://www.ubl.org/index.aspx
Thanks

Hi to be honest article spinning use to bring great results yet recently we see more and more changes with Google cracking down on spinners. I mean Article Samurai is said to be a decent tool using the best spinner, I have tested it and it seems to be decent.
Yet the best results will be driven from authority PR article sites which are indexed in Google news. It is a real method of trial and error you can submit your article to 100 low quality article sites or 10 very high article sites which will yield better results.

How much backlinks do you get off of one submission? Is it easy to use or a headache? I've found Article Demon a big headache to use and I don't want to repeat that again, to the point that I'm thinking of just submitting articles manually.
PS. Can you link to your site so I can check your backlinks and see the type of traction you get?

I use <cite>www.submiteaze.com and it is brilliant.</cite>
I highly recommend giving it a go, it will save a heap of time.

Paid-for featured article on dailymail.co.uk with follow links
Hey Mozzers, Our PR team are paying for a featured article on dailymail.co.uk to increase brand visibility and coverage on a high traffic website. The article, however, is fairly thin content, and it has a couple of follow links back to our own site. From an SEO point of view, how do you feel about this?

Reposting my articles on other blogs - good or bad?
Hi there! Our blog is full of really good articles on consumer finance topics. Recently we established contact with some local media and even government agencies who said they will be happy to repost our articles on their sites. Question: is it ok to repost our articles as they are and link back to us, or shall we rewrite them to make them 100% original? The media doesn't insist on original content, but I'd like to get SEO benefit from it (the sites are really good). If original content gives us more SEO value, we're happy to do it Please advise. P.S. Using rel=canonicals is not an option (it's government websites and some old school media - they are very not tech savvy).

Web Designers and SEOs using backlinks from client sites
What are your thoughts on SEOs and web designers putting their own links in the footers of client sites. For the sake of argument, lets assume that the client is happy for the link to be there. I'm referring to the SEO merits of the link being there from an 'irrelevant' website. My belief is that this goes against what Google is looking for and that these are irrelevant links and likely to be picked up and penalised. That's what I believe! However, I see lots of sites offering SEO services that have dofollow links from their client sites, using exact match anchor text and they are all ranking highly. Is it just a matter of time before Google sniffs them out and penalises them for it? Or should I be going through my client sites and adding myself a dofollow link in the footer? (with their permission of course). The highest ranking sites in any UK city do this. If you search SEO Manchester, SEO Leeds etc and find the top ranking sites and check them out on opensite explorer, they are all using a disproportionate amount of dofollow backlinks form client sites.

How does Google interpret articles or prepositions in languages where it's attached to the (key)word?
Hi, All! This is for any foreign language SEOs where articles or prepostitions such as "the" "to" "in" or anything else are actually part of the word they are modifying and not a separate word, as in English: How does Google understand those words on-page and in anchor text? If you want to optimize for the word "house", and your content/anchor text says "the house" or "in the house" (again, all one word) - what does Google count that as? Does it count toward "house"? Does it count toward "in the house" only? Does it count toward "house" but not as much as if you had just put "house"? I end up sometimes writing slightly grammatically-off content because I want to optimize for the keyphrase - but is that necessary? Obviously different languages might be different, but you can probably project a little from one to the others. Thanks in advance!
