One of the good things about Article Samurai is the incontrovertible fact that it is deceptively easy. In the Net Marketing world straightforward sometime is equivalent to "doesn't work". There appear to be a lot of people who like the techie side of software, and I used to be the same way. Unfortunately for the techies there's plenty of things that go on in the background of Article Samurai that you just don't see.

With that under consideration the blokes over at Noble Samurai made a decision to do a little webinar to clarify a bit more about the software and answer some questions. I attended the webinar and took down some notes. I believe it'll clear up a couple of things for you.

Can I Get A Listing Of URL's For My Articles?

One of the first questions that has been asked is if you get a copy or file with all the url's of the articles that were submitted. Sadly the short answer is no.

Article Samurai submits to 1 or 2 different networks and each one of them does a hand review before distributing them. At the moment it simply isn't possible to get an inventory of article url's, although they did mention that they would work on adding that into an update in the future.

Is 30% Uniqueness Enough?

We'll first off in my experience 30% uniqueness of an article is sufficient. Spinning more than that has a tendency to finish up with lots more nonsense to scrub up and it's actually a pain in the butt to check the essay. 30% will make the article different enough for the big G anyway.

Why Does Article Samurai Only Produce Three Spins?

That is right. Article Samurai does only show 3 spins which permits you to check the readability of the articles after you spin them. However there is a random button slightly under the three spin buttons that produces more adaptations of your article. On the back end Article Samurai spins the manuscript far more by interchanging paragraghs between articles. This allows for a lot more new text. And you do not have to so it yourself.

How Will They Check For Article Uniqueness?

In Article Samurai you can check for the uniqueness of an article. This is pretty grand if you outsource your article creation. They use a process called shingling which is the same as Copyscape. I don't have any concept the way the process works so don't ask.

Why Are You Able To Only Select One Category In Article Samurai?

Yes. Article Samurai only gives you the choice to select one category per article. They do nevertheless , use more classes on the back-end. They take the class you pick and then use that to pick topical categories before syndication. I imagine it's particular to the network the article is being submitted to.

Why Do Some Articles Take A Week To Syndicate And Others Take 2 Days?

One of the things you will find is in the Syndication tab in Article Samurai your articles will show that they have been syndicated to all the networks after roughly two days. This turns out to be an issue in the system updates. They just about said irrespective of what the software say's the articles get syndicated over about 60 days.

The system is simple, but unfortunately that may give the impression that it is not working. I think folk are conditioned to having to jump thru hoops to get an article syndicated. (Not that other pieces of software do not work. I still use them.) I think that is the beauty of it. There is a lot done on the backend, and to me that makes this software so forceful.
