Writing an article - and versions
of the same article

Again, this is an important section, so read it all!!

ADSubmitter gives you the option of writing a single article - always Article Version A - or an article plus up to four versions of the article (Article Version A plus Article Version B, Article Version C, Article Version D, and Article Version E).

You can write one article (Article Version A) and simply submit that - as you would do with other article submission programs available. Or you can write a second version (Article Version B), or a third version (Article Version C) etc, and ADSubmitter randomly substitutes paragraphs from the various versions, in the correct order, before submitting to each article directory. The number of versions of Article Version A you might want to create is entirely up to you - create four versions for maximum 'uniqueness'.

The net result is a logical, readable article, submitted to each article directory, complete with different title, keywords, resource box, teaser paragraph and so on.

So how many variations are possible? If you had 15 paragraphs per article body, three article versions, 20 titles, 10 resource boxes, 10 teasers, 10 lines of keywords, 15 x 3 x 20 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 900,000!!!

Of course, not every article would be considered different enough to count as a completely unique article in the eyes of the search engines. However, because of the variations, enough of them will - more than if you had simply submitted the same article (Article Version A) to every single directory.

Remember, when writing your article, there is no need to include a title - that goes in the title text file. We're dealing with JUST the body text, nothing else.

Start, of course, with Article Version A, and write your 10 or 15 paragraphs (article directories usually look for articles with more than 500 words). Do it in Notepad. I'll make up an 'article' to give you the idea.

You could, if you wanted, create an Article Version C. But that's entirely up to you.

Now, when ADSubmitter submits to an article directory, it builds up the article by randomly choosing the first paragraph from either version. It then chooses from either version of paragraph two...and so on.

Try it yourself. Read the first paragraph from Article Version B followed by the second paragraph of Article Version A. Here it is below.

Writing an article may at first seem
complicated. I can assure you that it is not.

Once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to
write an article in next to no time. In fact, it is
really easy.

Does the above make sense? Of course it does!! Now suppose ADSubmitter had chosen as its opening paragraph the first paragraph from Article Version A, with the second paragraph from Article Version B. It would look like below.

This is an example of how to write an article.
It may seem complicated but it's not.

It is really easy to write an article, once you
grasp the concept. Trust me, you'll be able to
write an article in no time!

Does the above version make sense? Yes, it does. Understand the concept now? Throw in Article Version C into the mix and each article submitted will become even more unique!

NOTE: very important - each version of the article MUST have the same number of paragraphs.

NOTE: very important - keep the 'sense' of each paragraph in each version the same. In other words, if paragraph 1 in version A is about clocks, then paragraph 1 in version B must also be about clocks, and not about something completely different, like jet fighter aircraft, for example.

NOTE: paragraphs DON'T have to have the same number of sentences in them, or the same number of words. Each paragraph MUST be separated by a double space. And all excess space at the end of each article MUST be deleted before saving.

NOTE: when you save each version of the article, save the version letter along with it - to make it easier to pick out when loading into the File Paths Manager.

For example, taking clocks as the subject of the article, Article Version A would be saved as clocks-a.txt, Article Version B as clocks-b.txt, Article Version C as clocks-c.txt etc....

Makes life so much easier! Save the categories file as clocks-categories.txt, the titles file as clocks-titles.txt,
the keywords file as clocks-keywords.txt, the resource file as clocks-resource.txt, the teaser as clocks-teaser.txt etc.

Perhaps you then might want to place all in a sub-directory called clocks - makes sense!
