Review of Article Submission Service articlemarketer.com

3 month ago I signed up with articlemarketer.com and used their service to post my articles to article publishing site on the Internet.
They are very strict in accepting articles, and run the article through an automatic validation. When there is something which does not fit to their article guidelines you’ll get an email to edit the article.
For the first articles I needed some attempts to get it through the automatic validation process.
Each article I posted to articlemarketer.com was posted to more than 1,000 article publishing sites.

Now, after 3 month as I’ve to renew my subscription I examined the effectiveness of this article publishing service.

So I looked a bit deeper at the 1,037 URL’s where my articles where published.
217 of these URL’s were repeated, so I had to look at 820 URL’s.

Because I don’t want to investigate too much time I only looked at first 100 URL’s.

Here is the result:

1. 45 URL’s were not accessible – server not found etc.
2. 50 UL’s have a home page with PR 0, and 10 of them have exact the same content
3. 2 URL’s have a home page with PR 1
4. 2 URL’s have a home page with PR 2
5. 1 URL has a home page with PR 3

When I assume that the result for the rest of the 720 URL’s is identical this is statistically the result of all 820 submissions:

1. 370 URL’s were not accessible – server not found etc.
2. 410 UL’s have a home page with PR 0, and 10 of them have exact the same content
3. 16 URL’s have a home page with PR 1
4. 16 URL’s have a home page with PR 2
5. 8 URL has a home page with PR 3

Forget the 780 submissions under point 1 and 2, also the 40 submissions with PR 1-3.
For a PR 3 site with thousands of inner pages your article will be absolutely worthless on this site.

The time and money invested in this service is absolutely worthless.

Warning after a $150,000 laser machine used for removing unwanted hair was stolen

Doctors warn of beauty laser dangers

clipped from www.smh.com.au HUNDREDS, possibly thousands, of women are suffering permanent skin damage at the hands of untrained beauty therapists who are operating laser and intense pulsed light machines. In the worst cases, therapists are misdiagnosing melanomas as pigmentation and treating them with laser or IPL, with potentially fatal consequences. There is no legislation in NSW regulating these devices, which are used for skin blemishes and hair removal. Anyone can buy a machine and set up business, with the result that women are suffering scars, burns and pigment loss.
