Unique Article Wizard Review
Overview
Unique Article Wizard (also known online as UAW) has been a strong leader in article submission on the Internet for a couple of years. In fact, in many ways, it was the father of this network distribution format – at least the most popular of these tools. The size of the network is constantly changing but currently stands at well over 3,000 sites. The difference with UAW is that though that number may be lower than some other solutions, it uses more sophisticated algorithms for matching your content with the publishers sites so, in reality, you get more distributions.
Spin Away
Article spinning is a core requirement for getting massive penetration on the Net and wide circulation. Article spinning allows you to create many different “unique” versions of your article and we all know that Google loves unique content. Many of the article submission programs available have a very cumbersome process and syntax for article spinning. UAW takes a very different approach. Rather than using a bunch of weird syntax, it simply has you write three versions of each paragraph of your article. This can be accomplished in either of two different approaches. You can either utilize the online wizard that walks you through the process paragraph by paragraph, or you can upload three distinct versions of your article as three separate files and it will do all of the parsing from there. The second approach is the preferred method once you have the basics down, but the wizard is a nice way to get started and learn the way the program works.
The links are embedded not within the article itself, but within the resource box of the article and are limited to two links. There is also a separate spinning process for the resource box in order to generate various versions of it as well. And as this is spun content, you can also spin the anchor text and links as well to give a wide diversification and natural appearance to your link building campaign.
The Structure
As described above, a UAW article is really three articles – or three versions of the same article. The article submission software then takes these three separate versions of each paragraph and programmatically and automatically combines them into a virtually limitless number of unique articles to be distributed across its network.
The article is broken up into separate sections. The Title, the Author, the body and the resource box. There are also two other important meta data tags associated with the article – the keywords and the categories. The Unique Article Wizard uses the keywords and the categories you select (three different categories) to give you a very wide distribution among its network of sites. The combination of multiple keywords and multiple categories yields better results than its competition in terms of article distribution.
The article Title is also “spinnable” and that is very important. The wizard walks you through this process for creating multiple versions of the article title. Likewise, the author resource box is a vital part of your article as it is where you have the opportunity to put your two links in. You want to be clever in how you do this – not too salesy but not too discreet either. Fortunately UAW has some good guidelines and tutorials on this to help you along your path.
Other Features
One nice feature that Unique Article Wizard offers is the ability to change the author. This is great for large network marketers or those who publish under multiple pen names. My Article Network does not distribute the author information, which may have its own benefits for some, but for others the ability to brand an author or pen name may be important and UAW excels in this area.
Also, like MyArticleNetwork, you can schedule your articles to be released in advance so that you may batch them up and let them run on autopilot. This is really the best way to do it because you don’t have to be a slave to your article marketing efforts. You can dedicate a block of time to doing a months worth of submissions all at once and then let the software trickle them out for you and build your links on autopilot.
The Results
Don’t be misguided in your comparison of article submission products and conclude that the higher number of links directly equates to a better result. While UAW might not generate as many links as MyArticleNetwork, that is really an arbitrary point. The fact is that Unique Article Wizard is a much more mature product and it’s sites within it’s network, though fewer in number, are generally more mature sites with better rankings. Thus the link count or distribution count maybe slightly less than MyArticleNetwork or SEOLinkvine but the results are still in the same ballpark – sometimes a little better, sometimes not quite as good.
What We Didn’t Like About Unique Article Wizard
The Unique Article Wizard is surely the “veteran” of this crowd and that can be both a good and a bad thing. It has been around for a long time because it is very effective. However, the interface for Unique Article Wizard is by far the most cumbersome of all of these tools reviewed. There simply are far too many steps to go through and the architectural choice of creating the tool as a web product is highly suspicious. I would much prefer to see a desktop version of this product. The web interface is clunky, slow and sometimes buggy.
Pricing
The Unique Article Wizard is very affordable and a solid buy at $67 a month. While this is a bit more than MyArticleNetwork, it is the defacto “standard” in article submission software and has been for the past couple years. That maturity shows in the product and also the network and is well worth the investment. Power marketers will benefit from having subscriptions to both (as we do) so that you can run one article through both programs and get even more bang for you buck (as well as doing some manual submissions too). The $67 price tag is very economical for the amount of natural and self-building SEO benefits that this article submission tool will bring you.

UAW has worked for me for almost 2 years. But its becoming dated, the interface is too damn cumbersome and the $67 a month is a bit pricey in my opinion. I have signed up for MAN (I want Linkvana) and am trialing it right now and depending on my findings I will probably switch.

Here’s a recap, I have switched to MAN for good. The interface is sooooo much easier, the spinning is easier, the network is larger, and the price is cheaper. I gave it a 3 star because I am still emotionally attached – lol.

Bobby, why did you switch? I use both MAN, UAW and MAS and get great results. You can’t expect one tool to do it all, you need to have an arsenal tools. MAN distribute to a wide variety of blogs, UAW to niche and mature sites, and MAS sends to article directory’s. Don’t switch, add.

I think its a spam tool, just give people something they want on your website and your links will come naturally, you cant win gaming the search engines, google always wins eventually. I tried it and then cancelled because I decided I didn’t want spam. Plus i never saw any traffic in my stats coming from those sites my articles would up on. Granted I only sent 2 articles in 3 week period, but that was enough for me to see it wasn’t for me.

I love the power of UAW, although I find the quality of the network to leave a little to be desired. It’s huge, but not high quality. The interface sucks IMHO, although I’ve gotten good at adapting. If you need links ‘en mass … this works. I’ve heard people complain that it doesn’t, but it worked for me. I’d recommend you start with several well-spun articles, and get a nice trickle coming in. I like to use a set it and forget it approach with 5 articles trickling in 5 links a day. Using this approach alongside LV is a very strong technique, and highly recommended. I’ve taken out some very powerful competition with the two. You’ll probably need to hire some article writers to get the whole thing going in concert at a nice pace.

FTS is Free Traffic System – We don’t like it, and didn’t bother reviewing it for this site. It has a built in mlm structure, so you will see lots of people pushing it to build their downline. It’s not very effective.
Thanks for stopping by!

I have been using UAW for well over a year on many of my sites. As others have stated, it’s not my only tool for backlinks, I use Linkvana, SpinDistribute and even some SENuke for Web2.0 stuff and outsource Angelas links. UAW is not the answer to all your prayers, but then again nothing is, all the tools will work, you just have to use them, use many and use them often. Do mechanics have only 1 tool in their tool box? So why would you?
Yes the interface leaves a little to be desired, but you get used to it, it does the job well, and its not THAT bad of an interface. So a big two thumbs up and 5 stars all around from me to UAW.

Hi AZ Bike,

I have 6 clients who are looking to distribute 100 articles each per month. Needless to say, I need a fast and easy submitter that allows me to spin for unique content. Easily.
What is the best. I think UAW seems like the best, but you said that it was a little cumbersome to use. What’s better?

Hey guys,
I’m VERY happy to read so many positive comments about UAW. The quality of the network is low when you consider PR, but the mass distribution combined with the many niche websites makes it a premier tool for me.
For anyone who finds it difficult to submit to UAW, try to learn the one-step wizard, I find it easy and quick.
And indeed, combine it with a quality blog network to make SEO fairly easy.
Good luck!

Hello Admin,
I have a question, I found a link pointing to your website: rescueweb.org/computers-software/not-just-an-article-submitter-program and I have got a question, did you submit this article using UAW?
I have a blog and I receive UAW articles to my website, but what I find weird is that, those articles (and your article too) contain links within the body of the articles. Does UAW allow it?
If no, please recommend me the best blog distribution service that can submit my article to blogs like the above.
It would be excellent if you could tell me the name of the service you used to submit your article to the website above.

Hi
UAW does have a soft spot in my heart, I have been using it for around a year together with their recommended outsourcer My article express (MAX).
The first 2 or 3 months I had excellent results with many of my articles making the first page of google. At one stage using only UAW I had an incredible 8 out of 10 slots on the first page of Google with my money site number 1.
Since then though the results have been less than ordinary. In fact the results now differ so drastically (basically can never find any of the articles or very few in back link reports or indexed on G) that I suspect UAW uses a quality network for new subscribers to get them hooked and after you have been on board for a while switch you over to a less impressive one.
Also the standard of MAX writers is pretty average and getting worse. OK it is very convenient to just load their 3 versions into UAW, spend about an hour to add images, video and spin heaps of different titles and resource boxes, but seriously I haven’t seen any more movement in the serps unless I use other tools. I just get the feeling both UAW and MAX are not interested in their customers once they have been members for a while.
I have kept up the subscription because their spinner is useful for putting 30% unique articles into blog blueprint or senuke but am thinking seriously about ditching the subscription now and swapping to the article blueprint (although feedback from that is not great and it wont allow to send videos or images with the articles), but for the same price blog blueprint is included.
On October 3, 2010 Todd wrote:
By the way I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on blogbot and article bot?
I only ask because they seem to have a decent feature set and only cost a one of $30 bucks. That is a massive saving so I am wondering if these tools can do the same job or similar as the subscription ones?

I think UAW have had its glory days. It’s still effective to some point. However, they need to upgrade their system. It’s way too slow and buggy at times.
On November 6, 2010 Troy wrote:
Yeah, UAW has certainly gone through a lot of revisions. They actually revamped their site quite a bit in the past few months and are trying to offer everything to everyone right now. There are about 4 or 5 different ways to submit an article with them now. From a step by step, hold your hands type approach all the way to just an upload of what you’ve done offline. So I think they have addressed what you’re talking about. The core of their system is what really needs updated in our opinion – the continued use of outdated resource boxes… but in the end, a link is a link, and so they are still pretty effective for that and we do like them, use them and recommend them as they tend to have one of the more seasoned and reliable networks out there…
Thanks,

Btw, what you said about UAW and no links in the body, is not correct. You can have 2 links in the body and 2 links in the resource box. While they say that to any one domain you can only have max 2 links going (whether resource box or within content), I usually use all 4 and never had an article rejected because of this. Just thought to mention.
On another line of thought, whenever I use UAW for one of my sites, shortly after the site always disappears from the SERPS. Yes, it comes back after a few weeks, but that’s money lost in the meantime. I’ve tested it and it only happens when I use UAW on it. I’m switching now to Article Marketing Robot when this month’s UAW expires.

I used UAW for less than a month, and I found it annoying that I had to always have 3 unique versions of the article. It didn’t integrate very well with The Best Spinner. I like to spin some sentences but not always every paragraph which is what UAW requires. I’m still looking for an ideal solution so will let you know what I find.

Hello Mike and Troy,
I purchased the UAW after your review through your link.
1. I am getting some articles written with long tail keywords. I expect that these articles might rank well for the Keywords in future.
Do you suggest that I should fist submit these articles to top article directory either ezinearticles or goarticles so that the chances of these ranking increase BEFORE I submit them to UAW?
2. If the first idea is good, then is it better to use Article auto submit or automatic article submitter BEFORE I submit these articles to UAW?
thanks
Your website is COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

Is it a good idea to use my article network in addition to UAW?
Or it good to concentrate my resources on UAW before I finish using this resource.

Hi Matynne,
If you are looking to post anything to EzineArticls, you should always post it there first prior to any submission or you risk them not accepting it, unless it’s on your personal site. After that, spin it and send it away to UAW, Demon, etc etc.
On your second question, I recommend Article Ranks over MAN at this point, we are preparing our Best List for 2011 and will be publishing it soon, but Article Ranks has displaced MAN for that spot.

Great review – I have dipped in and out of UAW for the last three or four years and even subscribed to Noel Swanson’s personal blog at one point (about his sailing trip around the world) I was so impressed with the results I was getting.
I’ve been looking to start re-using it again, so will empty my cookies and re-order through your link.
By the way (don’t think I’m trying to teach the teacher but..) to avoid the incident you had in terms of ranking your clients site in search when using UAW (or any backlinking article distribution tool) don’t use the keyword you are targeting for your backlink in the title of your article – for a couple of reasons;
1/ You don’t want any other site out-ranking yours based on the title
2/ Your content will get a stronger linking structure from articles closely associated with the keyword you want to rank for.
Great site guys!
