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.

How you do guest posting on behalf of your clients? What do you use in the author bio - your name, client's name or a fake name?
I would like to hear from SEO agencies or link building teams - how you manage guest posting on behalf of your clients? 1. What is your outreach process - Do you pitch as a marketing manager or as a subject expert? 2. What do you mention in your author bio? Your name and your bio as outreach manager/ marketing manager? Your client's name and client's bio? A fake name - as a subject expertise? 3. Which email ID and contact details you use? - Your work ID/ client's ID/ Fake Gmail ID? I work for an SEO agency and I am interested in content and SEO related blog posts. But, I have many clients in the home improvement, real estate, food, fashion and other industries. I don't feel right to use my name when posting a guest blog on their behalf. What you guys prefer? Any thoughts?

Has anyone used Fat Joe as an outsource solution for blog links?
Hi guys, I have seen a company on social media a lot recently who offer a guest blog posting service. It seems to be reasonable quality from the reviews and the blurb they give as they at least seem to find you a relevant blogger to match up with, actually write good content with as many reviews as is needed and then post it to just that one page. I noticed on their site they have claimed that their service is Loved by Moz but I couldn't find any reference to them anywhere on the Moz site. My question is - has anyone used them and are the links going to be any good for my site?

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).

What is the purpose of submitting your blog articles to directories?
I was wondering what the purpose of submitting your blog articles to directories are. Doesn't it require enough "points" or "+1's" for it to become a "do-follow" link? People on the forum talk about automating directory submission, can anyone recommend a good software for this? I've been hearing that Google Penalizes you for article submission because it looks like spam?

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!

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.
