			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been testing Article Architect for a few weeks now. At first, I thought it was an awesome product, but now, I&#8217;m not quite as excited.</p>
<p><strong>What is article architect?</strong></p>
<p>To be brief. It&#8217;s a software to research, write, publish and organize your articles.</p>
<p><strong>What it&#8217;s not</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s not a software to write and publish hundreds of articles to hundreds of directories in a matter of minutes. Some people write an article, then spin it (re-write the article by adding new words and phrases) into ten, twenty, thirty or more new articles. Article Architect is not like that, you&#8217;ll have to do everything manually.</p>
<p><strong>The real power of Article Architect</strong></p>
<p>I believe that organizing your articles, all the articles you&#8217;ve written, when you wrote them and where you submitted your articles, that&#8217;s the real power of Article Architect. You can add hundreds of directories, you can rewrite your articles (probably a little faster than if you didn&#8217;t use Article Architect), and you can even post your articles to your blogs. If you&#8217;re like me, a few days after you&#8217;ve written an article and published it, you forget what you&#8217;ve written and where you published it. With Article Architect you won&#8217;t forget, because it keeps track of everything.</p>
<p>I tried the research feature, but I didn&#8217;t like it. I think it&#8217;s easier to do all my research by using Google, and not inside Article Architect.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-612" title="article-architect-scrn" src="http://marketingflop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/article-architect-scrn.jpg" alt="article-architect-scrn" width="440" height="281" /></p>
<p><strong>How to use Article Architect</strong></p>
<p>There are six &#8220;tools&#8221; in the menu. The first one is overview, this is what it says, an overview of the articles you&#8217;ve written and the articles you&#8217;ve submitted to directories. The problem with this is that you can&#8217;t see which directories that you&#8217;ve submitted your articles to. I can&#8217;t find this feature. The second tool is Articles. This is where you write your articles. The third tool is Research. This is where you research keywords to use in your articles. This is done by using the free WordTracker database. The fourth tool is Directories. This is where you add all the article directories. The fifth tool is Resources. This is more or less a bunch of ebook and articles you can buy (all are related to article marketing). The sixth tool is Snooper. This is where you find content, and do your final research.</p>
<p>It took me a long time to figure out how to publish the articles. I couldn&#8217;t find the publish button. I looked everywhere. I almost contacted support. It seemed that I spent hours looking, and guess what? I had to use the right mouse button.</p>
<p><strong>Should you buy Article Architect?</strong></p>
<p>It all depends on what you&#8217;re looking for. If you&#8217;re looking for an article spinner, this is not it. If you&#8217;re looking for a word processor, it&#8217;s not it. If you&#8217;re just looking for a way to keep track of all your articles and an easy way to publish them to article directories, then Article Architect might be the right choice.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jonathan Leger is the guy behind Instant Article Wizard. If you haven&#8217;t heard of this guy before, you should know that he is behind $7 Secrets, AdSense Gold, Translation Gold, Article Builder, Keyword Explosion and SEO Explosion. Well, he is one of the gurus in the world of Internet marketing.</p>
<p>Since Jonathan Leger is the creator of <a title="Instant Article Wizard" href="http://marketingflop.com/iaw">Instant Article Wizard</a>, I had really high expectations. And he&#8217;s probably the reason why I bought it in the first place.</p>
<p>Before I tell you exactly what I think of it, let me explain what it is.</p>
<p><strong>What it is</strong></p>
<p>Instant Article Wizard is a software (for Windows only) that will help you write articles. It&#8217;s not a software that will help you duplicate articles and create hundreds of articles from one article. It&#8217;s more like a software that will help you get rid of writers block and write the article for you.</p>
<p><strong>An example</strong></p>
<p>I bought it because I have a blog about Protein High Foods, when I created it, I had no problems writing about proteins, health, weight loss and add recipes each week. Now, I have too much other things going on, and I&#8217;m not as creative when it comes to Protein High Foods. So, with that in mind, I bought Instant Article Wizard.</p>
<p>If I want a general article about protein, I add the following in the keywords box: <strong>protein is</strong></p>
<p>This will search the Internet for thousands of resources and add the sentences which contains <em>protein is</em>. You can also build your article from the sentences you receive, the image below is from the introduction of the article.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-552" title="Example of Instant Article Wizard" src="http://marketingflop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/protein-iaw-1.jpg" alt="Example of Instant Article Wizard" width="459" height="196" /></p>
<p>If I&#8217;d like to add some information about the effect protein has on cancer, I just pick the subtopic cancer, and I get a various of ready-made sentences which contains <strong> cancer</strong> and is related to protein. Just look at the image below to see some of the options.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-556" title="Instant Article Writer Example" src="http://marketingflop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cancer-iaw-2.jpg" alt="Instant Article Writer Example" width="450" height="297" /></p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s great</strong></p>
<p>You get a lot of more or less useful sentences when you do your research. Even though the sentences you get are written by someone else, you can build your article and then do your rewrite in the end. You can actually write an article about any topic, even though you don&#8217;t know hardly anything about the topic before using <a title="Instant Article Wizard" href="http://marketingflop.com/iaw">Instant Article Writer</a>.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also fairly easy to set up your article with an introduction, some subtopics and your conclusion. In about 5 or 10 minutes, you&#8217;ll have an article about any topic.</p>
<p>The software can be used to write articles in six different languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian and Portuguese. I&#8217;ve only been writing articles in English, but I could use Instant Article Writer to write articles in French even though I don&#8217;t know more than two French words.</p>
<p>The sentences you find using Instant Article Wizard is copied from other websites, but you also get the link to where the sentence appear. This way, you can check the context of the article where it appears. This makes it a lot easier to write your own article.</p>
<p><strong>What&#8217;s not so great</strong></p>
<p>I find the software to be kind of boring. I&#8217;m not sure what it is, but it doesn&#8217;t appeal to me. I don&#8217;t like to use it that much, it might be the navigation with all the subtopics. What you usually get when you do your research is 50 subtopics, and the subtopics are usually just words and sometimes they are out of context. When I did research for protein, I got subtopics like august and email. When I click on August, I got this as one of the sentences: &#8220;Friday, August 14 Medicating with marijuana: A remedy or a risk.&#8221; On the other hand, I get the link to the website where this sentence appears, so I can go there and read the article. This way I get all the information I need.</p>
<p><strong>Final thoughts</strong></p>
<p><a title="Instant Article Wizard" href="http://marketingflop.com/iaw">Instant Article Wizard</a> is a powerful software, but I haven&#8217;t been using it that much. I like writing my own articles and blog posts, even though it takes me a little longer to do the research and the actual writing. I think that Instant Article Wizard is more a software for people that like to produce really fast results, other than quality articles. But that being said, producing fast articles is a really powerful marketing technique.</p>
