This is an update to my previous post where I described my experiment where I used the automatic article directory submission system, Unique Article Wizard to make a single article unique and to submit it to over 600 directories. 

If you read the previous post, what I had done as part of the experiment is to take the actual post and write two additional versions with similar syntax so that the Unique Article Wizard system would be able to randomize the paragraphs to make each article unique.  I then submitted my three articles to the Unique Article Wizard system and measured the backlinks to our site that offers the discount on RedX REALTOR leads page.  Because I used a pen name as part of the experiment, I included the unique word xyssion in the post so that it could be easily searched.  As in the previous post, xyssion did not have any data associated with it on google when I published the first article.

Okay with that background, here are the results of the experiment.  Within four days of publishing the article the term xyssion returned 16 entries on google that backlinked to our Agents Online and Lockbox websites.  As of today, a search for the term on google returned 87 entries (60 on bing), all of which are links provided back from syndication of that one article.  The actual number of links is much greater, but these are the sites that have been actively indexed and rank at an acceptable level.

 From an SEO standpoint, the article and subsequent publication of it took about two hours.  Eighty-seven active backlinks from two hours worth of work sure beats the thirty hours I spent submitting MLSNI.com to various directories to get fifty active links, so I think this experiment can be classified as a success. Now I’m looking for a tool to speed up that manual process of directory submission.  I’ll let you know if I find a good one.
