Articleranks Review Updated - Articleranks Gets Even Better!
I already wrote an Articleranks review some months ago telling how much I like it. Now they have upgraded their service and Articleranks has become even better.
Now your articles will get more exposure than ever because Articleranks has just introduced 2 new features.
1) Your articles will now be published on social sites on multiple accounts, users will provide them their login information and we will publish your articles on social sites.
2) Their second feature is also very exciting, they will now be building social bookmarking links on multiple accounts, again provided by members, into your articles that they distribute on blogs, FTP sites and social sites, so your article links will not only get indexed quicker but they will pass more and more power to your money site, as random selections of your articles will also have incoming links.
As you can see both, blow owner AND publisher will benefit from this new features. If you are a publisher your links will get indexed faster and as a blog owner you will get backlinks to your blog.
The best part for blog owners is that you will not only earn credits by adding your blog to receive content, you will also earn credits by adding social bookmark accounts. These credits can be used to publish articles. So your Articleranks membership can be completely free.
I have been a monthly paying member, because I publish a lot of articles and the monthly membership fee is definitely worth it. I am still getting great results from using Articleranks and results will even become better with the new features added.
Articleranks is now by far the best article blog network and outranks Seolinkvine, MAN etc.
UniqueArticleWizard - Problem With Links
Here is a short note to everyone who is a member of UniqueArticlewizard. I have been a member of Uniquearticlewizard
for over a year know and I am still pleased by the results.
I recently subscribed to get articles sent to me by e-mail. When looking at
your distribution stats you probably noticed that getting articles sent by
e-mail is used by many blog owners. I have choosen the option: "Free Flow Text".
And here comes the point: all e-mails I received from Uniquearticlewizard
contain the article, but most of them have NO LINK
INCLUDED.
So why is this? Because MOST authors only put their link in
the resource box using HTML. However, blog owners who chose to receive articles
by e-mail in "Free-FLow Text", won't see the HTML.
This is why when writing resource boxes in Uniquearticlewizard
ALWAYS include the url.
Example: "To read more about this topic visit MYSITE
AT http://www.mysite.com
If you do not include your url your article will get published on a lot of
sites and blogs and you won't get any benefit out of it!

Seolinkvine - 2nd Chance - Honest SEO Linkvine Review
I have to admit that I expected a lot when Seolinkvine re-opened doors on 28th April 2010. I joined immediately.
However, Seolinkvine did mot meet my expectations. The number of blogs my articles were sent to was ridiculously low. This is why I cancelled my membership on 31st May. You can read more about it on my blog post "Seolinkvine Results - Articleranks Results - Ama Results".
However, I never cancelled their option of getting free content to my blogs. I really liked the ability of approving and denying articles with a mouse click and getting great content sent to my blogs.
I care a lot about my blogs and right now I have over 50 blogs getting content from Seolinkvine. I deny most articles, because they are not targeted enough. However, the articles I actually approve are highly targeted and well spun. Most of my blogs are now PR1 to PR3 and article posted usually show up in Google within some minutes after they get posted.
So obviously the people getting their articles posted to my blogs get great value. So some weeks ago I started wondering that may be if I have added valuable blogs may be others did the same by now and the Seolinkvine network has expanded and improved.
I knew that Seolinkvine closed its doors to new members on May 14th 2010, so I was pretty surprised when I noticed that obviously the doors are open again. So I thought that may be I should give Seolinkvine a second chance ... and that's what I did ... and I am glad I did!

My articles are now sent to many more blogs a lot faster than back in April. You can see a screenshot above. So right now I give five thumbs up for Seolinkvine.
If you are looking for high quality blog networks to gain quality backlinks fast, then Seolinkvine and Articleranks are the way to go.

Build My Rank - An In Depth Review Of BuildMyRank.com
I have been trying several Link Building services in the past and you can find some other reviews at Services Similar To Linkvana. However, I have to admit that Build My Rank outranks all of them and I wished I had joined them earlier.
1. The Price
Build My Rank is $59 a month (Linkvana costs $149, BlogBlueprint if you join via IMa is $147). You can outsource blog posts for $2 each. There is also a FREE Trial which will give you 10 Free Backlinks.
2. The Blog Network
Build My Rank Blog Network is high quality. In difference to Linkvana and Blogblueprint blogs in the network do not come with the same Worpdress template. They are all different and appealing and do not look spammy at all.
In difference to Linkvana and Blogblueprint it seems Build My Rank only posts to the same blog one to two times per day. So my posts did not get buried within some hours. They stick on the frontpage of the blog for quite a while. Linkvana and Blogblueprint add up to 15 posts to the same blog daily!!!
3. Transparency
Inside the Build My Rank Members Area you will see
a.) The Title of your post
b.) When it has been posted
c.) If the blog post is already indexed
d.) The PR of the blog
Below you can find a screenshot of my project. To secure my own projects and of course the Build My Rank Blog Network you won't see keywords and post titles.

I ordered 30 blog posts on June 29th. Two days later all blog posts were written by the BMR writers. I chose to have them submitted randomly. Using this option resulted in 1 to 7 blog posts per day.
All I had to do is submit my keywords, urls and payment. After that my posts were written and submitted automatically.
It seems BMR does not check indexing often, because most of the posts are already indexed.
4. PR Of Blogs
As mentioned above, I ordered 30 blog posts, which resulted in:
12 x PR1 Links
10 x PR2 Links
5 x PR3 Links
3 x PR4 Links
I should mention that I verified each and every blog post and all PRs are 100% correct.
5. Are They On Different C-Class Blogs?
I have to admit that I was a little sceptical whether blogs are indeed on different C Class Blocks. This is why I investigated this issue carefully.
First of all... why is this important?
The major search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN/Bing are becoming ever more sophisticated and smart in their search algorithms, and incorporate historical and ip address data, it is now even more important than ever to ensure that you take the necessary precautions when designing a network of linked web sites. So if blogs were on the same C-Class block links would be pretty useless.
I used the following tool to check random 8 blogs my post had been submitted to: http://www.ip-report.com/
Again: to protect Build My Rank you will not see urls or IPs.

As you can see all blogs are on different C-Class Blocks.
I have not run this check for Linkvana or BuildMyRank blogs. But I guess it is definitely something that should be done.
6. What Makes Build My Rank Better Than The Competition
One thing that is absolutely outstanding and is not offered by any of the competitors: Build My Rank will submit your blog post to Social Networks. This results in
a.) Additional Backlinks
b.) Much faster indexing
The best part here is that they seem to be using Social Bookmarking accounts that are in good standing, because the backlink shows up almost immediately in Google. I was pretty surprised about this, because in most cases Social Bookmarks do not show up at all. At least this is the case for Bookmarks created by Imautomator, Thelinkjiucer and Bookmarkingdemon.
For most of my blog posts I can see tagza backlinks, jumptags and several others.
I have not seen any change in rankings so far. However, this is obiously too early and will take some more days.
I guess Build My Rank is aware of the quality they are offering and this is why they offer 10 FREE backlinks to everyone who creates a free account (no credit card needed!).
I definitely recommend Build My Rank and if I were you I would take advantage of the 10 free backlinks asap.

Paid Blog Posts - Any Good?
Of course I knew that there are several sites out there offering paid blog posts. However, I did not have a closer look so far, because I was under the impression that paid blog reviews are expensive and you have to expect to pay around $20 for a post. I am glad I now had a closer look and gave one service of this kind a try. The paid blog post service I joined some days ago is Linkfromblog.
After I signed up I added one of my domains and soon after I started receiving bids from blog owners willing to review my blog and write a short review. Short reviews are about 200 words. I was pretty suprised when I noticed that you can get a blog review from a PR3 blog for as low as $2 (of course prices vary).
I immediately deposited $20 in my account (there is a 20% service fee, that's how Linkfromblog makes money). Out of the 35 bids I received I chose a total of 5 blogs (PR between 1 and 3) and accepted the bid. I am very pleased with the service provided and will add it to my arsenal of marketing methods.
Why I like Linkfromblog
1. Easy account creation
2. Option to accept bids or browse their whole catalog and send invitations
3. Lot's of blogs to choose from
4. Details oin every blog: demographics, PR, Alexa ranking, amount of posts added, blog url
5. The blog owner writes the review. So every review is totally different and not duplicate content
6. Ability to tell blog owners how they should write (positive, negative, neutral) etc.
5. Ability to add my own blogs and start accepting blog posts and getting paid (well.... right now I won't do this)
What I dislike:
The service fee of 20%... However, a service like this has to make money somehow.

Clickbank Sales Down - Summer Blues!
Clickbank sales have been really slow in the past weeks. This is why I took a closer look at the Clickbank sales numbers graph on cb-analytics.com and I was pretty surprised when I had a closer look at the analytics graph. The graph is a little hard to read and the numbers I figured out are just "about numbers". In addition the graph only shows sales data starting 2008. Nevertheless, we are in the middle of the summer sales slow down, with a turnaround to happen in some weeks.

2008: After Clickbank sales climbing rapidly until about March 2008, there is kind of a slow down, with another strong increase in sales from July to August 2008, with an dramatic drop in September. There is another strong increase end of September 2008, after that stagnation.
In January 2009 sales increase drastically with the high in May. After that a drastic drop. The turnaround seems to be middle of July. Another strong drop in December.
January seems to be the strongest month for the past years. Same in 2010. Clickbank sales climb until May and then there is a drastic drop. With June / July being the lowest months.
I wonder when the turnaround should take place. From history it should be end of July / August.
What makes me wonder is that there has been a strong increase in Clickbank sales summer 2008. Whereas in the other years these have been the slowest months of the year (except of the YEARLY december slow down in Clickbank sales). The only news I found for Clickbank during this time is the introduction of direct depost and the fact that affiliates from more countries were accepted. So may be there was a drastic increase of affiliates in this time resulting in increased sales.
So what can be said looking at the past years?
In general January is the strongest month for Clickbank sales. After that sales go down a little and make a drastic drop middle of May.
It seems a turnaround can be expected middle / end of July.
Sales stay stable until december. In december another big drop in clickbank sales can be expected.
So let's see if I am right. We all should see an increase of sales middle / end of July 2010.

Get Indexed By Google Within 24 Hours - Download My Private List
As you can see from my get indexed fast test I got a brand new domain indexed within some hours using my private "get indexedby Google within 24 hours" list.
By the way: today 5 days later houseboatsplans.com is ranked 12 for houseboats plans and 1 for "housboats plans" with quotation marks. The only thing I did was using my "get indexed by Google within 24 Hours" list. I guess over the next weeks it will be jumping around in Google search results and may even disappear completely for a while. This is what I noticed for all of my new blogs.
It takes a while and some effort getting a stable ranking these days. However, the first and most important thing for every new domain is getting noticed by Google and indexed. After that you will have to build more inbound links SLOWLY to avoid getting sandboxed. In this way getting a Top 5 ranking within some months for a keyword with a competition of around 50,000 (shown results with quoation marks) is absolutely doable.
I now decided to make my "private list to get indexed fast" available to my blog readers. I won't give it away for free, because this list is really valuable to me and I do not want to make it available to every freebie hunter.
You can download it for $10, which is still ridiculous taking into consideration what you will get and that you can use the list for all of your new domains.
What you will get:
* A list of 120 sites to add your new domain to (only top level domain, no subpages will be accepted on these sites).
After payment has bene received you will be taken to the download page where you will find a .zip file. The zip file contains a .txt. version and a .doc version, because you will have to use the "search and replace" function of Word or your Text Editor to speed up the submission process.
* The main part are analytics sites. This means you only need to visit the sites and you are done .( I have tested several autosubmitters doing this automatically, however, I did not get any results. This is why I am doing it manually, although I am a great fan of autosubmitters)
* Other sites: you will have to create accounts at some sites, however, this only needs to be done once and after that you only have to login whenever you want to add a new domain
My guarantee: if you add your new domain to all of the sites listed and do not get indexed by Google within 24 hours, I will refund your money.
