I’ve had decent approval rates this way and find it better than spinning prewitten junk by other authors.

As for my site being sandboxed I agree any degree of link building for a new domain seems to get you in the Google sandbox, but when my site did come out all the UAW backlinks had disappeared from appearing in Google. I am talking about google here not yahoo or bing. This particular site I used as an experiment only used UAW for back links as I was testing several sites to see which promotional methods were best.

For me personally I now use the simple method write an article > put on my website > ezine articles > then Isnare. Seems to have the best effects for all my sites and even web directories still get me some pretty good backlinks.

I’ve had the same experience where I ranked well ~ it happens for everything, sites, squidoo lenses, then they bounce around, drop out, and then when they come back from the dead the rankings are the same if not better than before they got “sandboxed”. It’s really just part of the process.

I started using UAW in Jan 2009 and at first results were good as I had created 1000 different bio boxes to go with each of the spun articles and many different anchor text for keywords I wanted to rank for (low competition keywords). And within a day or two I was on the front page of Google for those terms. I was flying high and out of nowhere I was sandboxed by Google for 3 months and all my keywords that I ranked dissappeared to search page 100+. I know it was the fault of UAW as this was the only method I had used on this particular site.

With UAW I think what had happened was that Google has somehow worked out that UAW wordpress plugin publishes on certain sites and and de-indexes those links. I have tried it since on other websites with no good results and if I do get incoming links from my articles they are deleted within a month by Google.

I now use Isnare which publishes to about 1200 article sites and costs $2 per articles no monthly fees. It seems to help as my new method that now works is:

Publish article on my own site, publish it on Ezinearticles manually and then to Isnare.

I know there are many different thoughts on this but any expert tell you this is the correct way to do it, and it works for me. Good luck everyone great post and its still alive after all this time.

UAW does not to my knowledge submit to EZA. I take one of the original articles (of the three) and submit it manually myself.

The articles are unique when created. Each article submitted by UAW is unique and is created as it is sent. You set this up by choosing in the submission process how many sites you want the article sent to daily. How many overall it is sent to is determined by the topic of the article and the categories you choose when submitting. (it should tell you approx how many it will go to overall as part of the submission process when you choose categories)

When you look at your articles each time you refresh it will give you a new version ~ you can just copy/paste it into somewhere else.

What you put in your resource box completely depends on the purpose of your article. Are you trying to rank in the search engines for a specific kw? If so then use your keywords in the resource box pointing the site/post you want to rank. If you are trying to build your brand then using your name would be appropriate.

Don’t worry about how often to use your keyword ~ write as though you are speaking to a friend and you will be fine. But yes, you want your keywords in the resource box in your link.

The answers from UAW will probably be very effective since they can show you image shots and video where I can not due to the confidentiality clause. (and they built it and know it inside and out)

Love the work you do to make may work a tad easier. I have been following your Christmas and Niche Blog Squidoo course and have found it very invaluable – also am with UAW through your link (so payback is good).

With UAW, do you know if they submit to Ezinearticles first, or are they just part of the process?

With original and the 2 versions, does this mean that every single article submitted from one article are all ‘unique’ and not duplicate?

Do you know how often UAW creates a new version of an article and submits it?

If I want to put one of the article versions on a blog or lens, etc. how do I access some of the new version UAW do?

I have read that one should not put a name in the Resource Box, as the information here should point to the keyword/product, not a person. What do you think?

One last question, UAW told me that there should be my keyword in the title, first paragraph and at the end – and no more. Should I put the keyword in the last article paragraph and then in the Resource Box? Also, is it a good idea to put a more long tail keyword 2 or 3 times in the article and then a shorter or completely different related keyword a couple of time?

Thanks for all of the great advice. I know that UAW has a lot of answers on their website, but I find it more useful to get answers from those actually using something.
