I’ve just released the new version 1.3.1 of Article Submission Helper. Here’s what’s new:
- Updated directory list – some directories were removed as found broken, a lot more were added. The list now includes 174 directories (152 of them work in auto mode).
- Added account and article management. You can now store and manage several accounts and articles for quick and easy access.
- Added a custom directory editor which allows you to add new directories easier. The new directories are stored in settings file which will never be overwritten by future updates.
- Added support for ContentBoss – an auto article rewriting service which allows you to spin articles without having to rewrite them manually. It’s a paid service but a big time saver, especially for link building purposes.
- Fixed some bugs
Finally, I’ve moved the user manual to this website, so that it’s easier to maintain. It’s accessible from the top right menu by clicking Online Manual.
I think there is a minor problem with the software which needs some attention. Currently, if we put the software on automatic submission or registration, and it encounters a some problem with a site then it gets stuck and does not move on to the next site after some time. We have to click next button in such cases.
Generally, when we put the software for automatic submissions, we will be busy with other tasks and we might not notice this. It should be such that the software should wait for sometime when it encounters a problem, then move on with the next site in the list.
Hi,
There’s a time out period of 2 minutes after which it moves on. I haven’t had problems with it getting stuck personally.
If it becomes a problem, you can note which directories are broken and remove them from the directories.xml file which is located in the ASHelper installation folder.
help i keep getting this…
The application could not be installed because the AIR file is damaged. Try obtaining a new AIR file from the application author.
Hi,
Update AIR from http://get.adobe.com/air/
That should take care of the problem.
I ran three articles through but when I went to three or four of the websites, It was saying I wasn’t even registered.
I registered automatically. Did any of my articles post? How can I check to see if it was successful or not?
If you can’t login, then they didn’t go through. Did you click all the confirm links in the email after registration?
Remember, it’s just a tool to help you submit, not a submission service, so you still have to make sure you have the accounts in directories right before submitting, etc.
That doesn’t mean you have to go through all of them by hand, but when registering automatically, if you get the confirmation emails and click the links in each, that should do it. And you can watch how it submits articles and see if it succeeds to login and submit the forms. Did it do that when you did your submissions?
