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.

Should my backlinks point to my home page or to internal article pages?
Hi, I run a fitness blog and I get the majority of my backlinks through guest posts that I write on high quality sites. Sometimes they allow me to put a backlink within the article, and I'll link it to a relevant article of mine. However, in the "author bio" section my backlink anchor text is usually just my brand name. I was wondering if this backlink should point towards my home page or is it more beneficial to point it towards an important article of mine? Thanks

What tools/techniques you use to check if a domain has been penalized?
If we think to buy expired or otherwise dropped domains, what tools or techniques you would recommend to check if there has bad SEO history? We could of course, check with Google itself if the site is indexed and ranks, but I am asking if there is a particular tool out there that would provide more information if a website had been shady. Thanks so much, guys! Lily

Adding backlinks in old articles?
I am trying to get a few more links to get a few of my pages to rank and I am thinking about adding some more backlinks on my own site on some of the old blog articles as well as some of my other related blogs. My question is - is it still beneficial to link from these articles that are say 1 year old or more, or would it be far more valuable to write new articles on the blog containing those same links?

Where/should I post my press release/articles on my own website?
I have started a long-term article marketing campaign and press release distribution. I will have about 4 articles and press releases in total every month. Although the press releases will not be self-promotional, sometimes they will be talking about a certain product that we unveil. The question is, due to the high quality of these press releases, should I put them on my website as well as publish them on third party websites? If so, because they target a specific service/product which we already have a dedicated page on our website, wouldn't that put Google in the position of choosing between the two pages? I was thinking to put them on my blog and link internally from there with the keywords that I target on those pages as anchor text. The same question for articles. Any suggestions?

Are press release sites useful?
Many of my clients release newsletters and other peices of content qualify as press releases. I have been wondering if people find that the press release sites such as PRleap or PRweb are useful and worthwhile? If so, which do you feel is the best? Is there any research on this? I am planning to record my results from these sites and perhaps make a Youmoz post in the future.
