Article writing tools, like Jonathan Leger's new Instant Article Wizard software have been hitting the market recently, and they sure sound like a good investment. Leger's software, by far the most popular of the bunch, allows you to hunt for information based on your keywords, and then pick and choose which bits of information you're going to include in your article. There is also less internet-dependant article software, like Article Architect, which is primarily an organizational, and keyword analyzing tool.

The question is, of course, how good these pieces of software are, and whether or not article writers should use them. I've purchased and tested this software for myself, and the results are quite interesting.

The Instant Article Wizard has been getting a lot of praise in the online article writing community, and I can understand why. It basically does automatic research and compiles you keyword-happy articles that you simply need to reword and fit into your own writing style. It does this by beginning with the keyword, and finding sentences from other articles and websites which contain that particular keyword. On occasion, you can pick from a generic sentence that contains your keyword as well. You then pick and choose from these sentences until you have an article that looks decent.

If that sounds like plagiarism, it is. What they don't make clear with Instant Article Wizard is that you need to spend time rewording the article, and every sentence in that article before you can actually submit it. The software has no check on this, however, and that's how people get into trouble.

Thanks for having the guts to tell it like it is. There is a lot of junk out there that people are buying because there are no real honest reviews. There's no question that you have to spend a few bucks to automate certain aspects of your online business, but your wallet shouldn't have to be victimized by low quality products. Thanks Again.
