Author: I have decided to look into various tools on the market that are aimed at getting sites plenty of backlinks and then put each tool through the wringer to see if they actually do what they say they will do on the sales page. The first tool/system that I am testing is Unique Article Wizard from Dr. Noel Swanson.
For those people not aware of what unique article wizard does, it basically takes 3 variations of the same article written by yourself plus resource boxes and creates unique articles from each of them and then posts these articles to various directories, blogs, networks etc for you over a period of time you specify.
Here is the list of steps that I will be taking to test this system to destruction.
- Choosing 5 domains based on “low hanging fruit” keywords that get reasonable searches but low competition in Google.
- Creating a 10 page wordpress blog on each of those domains. Each post will be based on a keyword related top the main topic.
- I will create 1 UAW project per blog.
- I will not actively go after any backlinks from any other sources.
I will then try for more competitive niches and here are the list of steps I will take…
- Choose 5 domains based on competitive phrases. In other words phrases that get a good number of searches, have a very healthy competition and plenty of advertizers on adwords.
- Create a 10 page wordpress blog on each of these domains. Each post will be based on competitive keywords related to the main niche keyword.
- I will create 1 UAW project per blog again.
- Once again I will not go after backlinks from anywhere else.
I will run this challenge and keep you all informed about how my sites get on but I will not be revealing any URLs in this case or give any clues to the niche as it does seriously skew the results. Once the challenge is over I will be revealing 1 URL from each test just so that people can see for themeselves. The challenge will be over once the Unique Article Wizard projects have completed and Google has indexed the blogs.
I will be doing the normal on page SEO like keywords in titles, urls etc…
Interesting test. I have thought about using this service before, and I am really looking forward to reading about your results!
I have used UAW for the past 3 months with great success. I was able to get a brand-new site up and running and ranked PR4 within 60 days (I always though it took 3 months… anyway). My biggest beef with UAW is that it requires the re-writes, which I do manually. I find this process long, boring, and time consuming. (I realize this can be outsourced). There are other products out there and some of them are cheaper, but I’m reluctant to switch because UAW has proven itself over and over again. As well, UAW has some excellent content generation tools for webmasters who use Joomla! and WordPress.
Glad to see I’m finally using a tool that superstars like Stephen Crooks endorses!
Thanks Chris, I have been asked by so many people of what I think of UAW that I finally had to give it a try and see if it does what it says on the sales page. I won’t fully endorse it however until I get the results back. Rest assured everyone, I will report my results exactly as I find it.

[...] Re: Anyone used Unique Article Wizard to distribute articles? I have been testing UAW on ten brand new domains and so far after 2 months the results are fairly mixed to be honest. If you want to see more details about my tests then please take a look at my blog where I have written about it.. The Unique Article Wizard Challenge #1 | The $100 Challenge [...]
Looking forward to see how you are doing, I just started to use the service.
All the best,
