Article Marketer Founders Create New Sites
By Calista Joyner
Customer service is ultimately what separates good companies
from bad companies. Article Marketer began in 2005 as a vehicle
for better online article marketing and distribution. Perhaps
the company grew too quickly, reaching 15,000 authors, 5,600 publishers
and an affiliate article marketing list of over 60,000.
Trouble with customer service brewed, as people anxiously waited
for their articles to move through the queue and became frustrated
by the lack of responses to their emails.
Inside the ranks, leaders Chris Ellington and Kenneth Vogt struggled
over which direction to take the company. Finally, they amicably
parted ways and became two different sites: www.distributeyourarticles.com
and www.contentcrooner.com.
Reviewing Articles More Quickly
Article Marketer founder Chris Ellington explains, "I have
now launched Distribute Your Articles because there are so many
features and tools I have been aching to bring to the community
that simply couldn’t happen at AM.
Some of those customer service issues you mentioned were among
the first improvements. Distribute Your Articles is getting rave
reviews for quick turnaround on article review and customer service
tickets. We also have an active forum for peer-to-peer assistance."
Better Article Distribution
Ellington adds that the price is $29.95 for unlimited articles,
unlimited pen names and a ton of extra features being added all
the time. He says that Distribute Your Articles is similar to
AM in "spirit and intent" but is now found by article
marketing professionals to be "the juggernaut tool for article
distribution."
Former Chief Technical Officer of Article Marketer, Kenneth Vogt,
has since gone his own way too, starting Content Crooner in October
of 2009. "There’s no doubt the need for our service exists
in the marketplace. We proved that at Article Marketer,"
Vogt said.
"But we’re not through yet. Article marketing continues
to evolve in the face of a changing Internet and Content Crooner
is part of that evolutionary process. We’re here for the long
haul."
Better Campaign Performance With Unlimited Subscriptions
He says that the monthly subscription rate is $39.99, with special
features to enhance campaign performance, such as unlimited submissions,
distribution and exposure reports, complimentary personalized
article coaching and pen names available in an upgrade at "a
reasonable fee."
The Article Marketer split occurred rather quickly and people
on both sides say that there have been some technical glitches
when trying to submit an article or when waiting for an article
to be reviewed. "I have one article that has been approved
and waiting for distribution for 4 days now.
I have 2 other articles pending human approval for 3 days (they
are supposed to be reviewed within 1 business day)," writes
one Content Crooner user at The Warrior Forum. Users also seem
to be confused about the new pricing models.
Lifetime Members Receive Unlimited Pen Names
One person reported they were offered unlimited pen names with
Distribute Your Articles, only to find they were offered 4 additional
pen names for $40. Apparently, only lifetime members receive the
unlimited pen names bonus feature.
Another person complained that they were offered 4 months for
the price of 1 to switch to Distribute Your Articles, but never
received the discount due to fine print no one bothered to mention.
Perhaps it’s best to wait a few months while these glitches iron
themselves out.

Did You Know This About Article Marketing?
Anyone can sit down at a computer and hammer out an article.
But not everyone can sell that article or make it interesting
enough for someone else to read. That is the real key to writing
or buying articles on the internet.
It has to be interesting and be written in a manner that anyone
can read it and understand it. If you intend to get into the article
business you need the right article marketing strategy behind
you. You need a proven system for making money and getting the
recognition you want.
