Overview: Article marketing is a white hat promotional method where articles be distributed to various article directory sites. Currently this process is either done manually or by using a program which 'blasts' the software to multiple article directories. The method requires that articles be released in a consistent fashion over a period of days for the system to work by gathering numerous in-bound links and 'buzz'. There is no currently identified system for automating the distribution of these articles in a predictable and repeatable method. Software Goal: The goal of this program (script) which we will preliminary call, "Article Burner" is to automate the distribution of articles to directories in a planned sequence over a number of days. I have a program specification and a draft database design.
