Seolinkvine Results - Articleranks Results - AMA Results
Today I cancelled my Seolinkvine membership. My articles do not get published anywhere as you can see in the screenshot below. Out of 15 articles submitted since the 20th May (todays is May 30th!!) I received ONE backlink.
I contacted support some days ago, without results. I did not get a reply. I contacted them today telling them to cancel my memberhsip. I hope they will get back to me asap. Otherwise I will have to contact clickbank. I am extremely disappointed with Seolinkvine, because there was so much hype about it. Seolinkvine is in no way worth $47.

Now have a look at Articleranks results. To get an idea on how good results are, I submitted the same spun articles to Articleranks and AMA. Have a look below at how many articles have been published by Articleranks in the SAME time frame. Yes, you read right, between 40 - 60 (!!!!)
Articleranks screenshot:
And now AMA (Article Marketing Automation). Same spun articles, same submission dates. The average is 20 backlinks per article.
AMA Screenshot:

So obviously the winner is Articleranks
And the best is: you can either submit your articles free (if you accept articles on your own blogs, or pay $2 per article published, or submit UNLIMITED articles for $37).

Linkracer News - Linkracer Update
In my last post I was talking about the Linkracer scam. However, today I stumbled across a statement made by the owner of Linkracer Brian with an explanation of what actually happend. You can find it below (the original post can be found here):
An open letter to all LinkRacer customers, potential customers, and concerned audience...
I am really sorry I took this long to explain what happened but, I needed to get all the NEW done first. At least that is what I thought was the right thing....
For those that don't know me, my name is Brian Prins, the owner of LinkRacer which is compromised
of several thousand different and unique websites, which I allow my fellow marketers to use for
the purpose of not only adding value to the Internet at large, but to add to their back linking
strategies.Recently, there has been some "drama" with regards to LinkRacer, and I want to not only clear up some
false information, but to let everyone know EXACTLY what is currently happening with LinkRacer.A few weeks ago, approximately 2200 of the sites in my network were deindexed. This happened due to
one of my competitors finding a footprint (my Pub code) to my network, and reporting these sites to Google, saying
that they were set up essentially as Made For Adsense sites, and for the purpose of link spamming.
Neither one of these things were true. Google deindexed sites that were not even in the network for
articles but were simple sites. The other sites in the network had a different Pub Code and thus, were not
deiendexed and have been working just fine.I know who this particular competitor is, and rather than slinging mud like they have done, I intend
to handle this issue not only professionally, but legally, and in a way that will not involve anyone
other than he and I. So, while I would love to shout from the rooftops and call this person out for
what they have done, both to me, and all of the customers of LinkRacer, I refuse to stoop to their level,
and as I've stated, I have chosen to address this issue in a more appropriate manner.On my part, to be honest with you, I was freaking out. Not only have I spent in excess of $50,000 in
establishing this network, and on programming, but due to the sites being indexed, I lost several
tens of thousands of dollars in revenue. Because of this, I did not communicate with my customers
the way I should of, and for that I offer a very sincere apology and it is extremely heartfelt.
My priorities were in the wrong place, as my first instict was to dive head first back into
setting up more sites, and re-establishing my network. This is almost done now...Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think that LinkRacer would be as well received as it was when
I first opened the doors to all of you, and unfortunately I did not have the proper support staff in
place. For this, I also not only take FULL responsibility, but I want to extend a sincere, and heart
felt apology to anyone whose questions, and queries were not answered in a time frame that they thought
was acceptable. A timely fashion is all I ever wanted to give and it was not done to that.Starting today, things are going to change...
Over the past couple of weeks, I have taken the following steps to ensure that your experience
with LinkRacer is not only a profitable one, but an experience that is hassle free for you:1. I have secured additional support help
2. I have completely revamped the back end of our system
3. I have added an additional 2500 domains to our portfolio
4. I have diversified the sites themselves as to not actually leave a footprint for malicious competitors to find.
5. I have renewed my committment to making LinkRacer the best network of it's kind.
6. I have added 200 seperate C-Class IP's in different locations.There is no doubt that in situations such as these, that more than words are needed to truly show you my committment,
and I understand that. Which is why I have decided to do the following:Free month of service - Anyone who wants to give LinkRacer a go, can do so for a full 30 days on my dime! For programming
purposes, this had to be set up as a trial, but all you have to do is sign up, and you will be able to post your content
to the LinkRacer network completely free of charge for a full month.Free Upgrade - In the past, the base membership included either 10 or 12 articles to a small number of sites on the network.
Anyone who takes advantage of the LinkRacker relaunch will get a free upgrade which will allow you to submit up to 40 articles
which will be published to 2,500 sites on the network, again this is completely free of charge.The bottom line here is, the things that happened were for the most part my fault, and my responsibility. Unfortunately,
I'm a trusting person, and shared some of my business details with a competitor, and because of that, not only did I get
hurt, but so did many of my customers and friends. I want to right the wrong for anyone who is willing to give me a second
chance...and I hope you are one of those people.
Without a doubt everyone deserves a second chance. I myself will not extend my membership right now and wait for a while to see what is going to happen.

Linkracer Scam - Is Linkracer Really A Scam?
I talked about Linkracer Blog Network a while ago. There was a big hype on it in the Warriorforum about 2 months ago. The owner claimed to own a network of 5000 blogs (250 own blogs and 5000 blogs of a friend's network) and for a monthly fee of $17 and an upgrade payment one was allowed to post articles to the whole blog network.
In the beginning this worked pretty well. I got tons of pingpacks and articles got indexed in google within some hours.
But this stopped beginning of May. This was when I started investigating the issue. I noticed that my articles stopped getting propagated and I contacted support and got no reply.
Linkracer a Scam? I noticed that many others are complaining about this issue. You can find three big discussion on Linkracer being a scam at
Rumours say that Brian, the owner of linkracer did not own the BIG blog network. He was only granted access to a Blog Network owned by someone else who gave him permission to send unlimited articles for personal use. However, Brian went ahead and submitted all of his client article's to the network. Obviously the owner of the big Blog Network cancelled access beginning of May.
I am unsure if any of my over 150 articles I submitted to Linkracer ever got distributed to this big Blog Network, because the only pingpacks I received came from about 25 different websites.
It also seems as if Brian's own blogs (he says he owns about 250) are getting deindexed by Google. I checked some blogs I received pingpacks from and they indeed no longer show up in Google.
I am glad I did not give away my credit card to Brian when his paypal merchant account was cancelled end of April. I did not continue my subscription with Linkracer, although I have over 80 submission credits left in my account.
When you have a look at the discussion going on in the forums / blogs mentioned above you will notice that Brian does not reply to the accusations made.
I also invite Brian to post his version of the story here.
Right now all I can say about Linkracer: Stay Away!

Unique Article Wizard Spinning Syntax
Well... I have to admit, I feel real stupid. I have been a member of Unique Article Wizard for over a year. I spent 1000s of dollars to outsource Unique Article Wizard articles or I spent HOURS myself re-writing each and every paragraph manually. Until today I had no idea that it is possible to simply add a spun article in the syntax format {word|word2|word3|etc.}
Probably, because it is nowhere stated in their manual and there is only a tiny note somewhere in the One-Step-Wizard stating:
Rotating tags:
Use these tags to randomly rotate keywords and synonyms. Hover over the tag to see how it works.
{a|b|c|etc}
{a|b|c|etc} The Wizard will randomly select one of the options. You can use as many alternatives as you like, just make sure they are separated by the pipe symbol. Note that spaces on each side of the pipe symbol will be trimmed off
So I gave it a try today and yes, it worked absolutely fine.... No more need to spend hours re-writing paragraphs.
So how to do it?
1. Take your article
2. Put it into The Best Spinner
3. Spin the article. Use the "Replace Everyone's Favorite" feature in The Best Spinner. This will make your article about 30% unique. Spend some more minutes replacing some more synonyms or rewriting some sentences.
4. Tell The Best Spinner to use the following spinning syntax {word|word2|word3}
5. Go to Unique Article Wizard and Choose "Submit Article / One Step Wizard"
6. In the fields Article Version 1 / version 2 / version 3 enter the article you have spun using The Best Spinner.
It will look like:
{Headline|headline|headline}
The size {of the|from the|with the|in the|on the} hen coop {house|home|residence|property} {should be|ought to be|must be|needs to be|need to be} {big|large|huge} {enough|sufficient|adequate|ample} {so that|to ensure that|in order that|to ensure} the {animals|birds} are comfortable and happy. This can have an effect in their laying activity. {This is|This really is|This can be|That is|It is} also {best|greatest|finest|ideal|very best} to {achieve|accomplish} their optimal health.
Enter the SAME spun article in all fields: Version 1, Version 2, Version 3
7. Of course fill out all other fields of the form as well. (Resource File etc.)
That's it!
Well... I am not sure whether I am the only one who is so stupid. But I am glad I finally made this discovery. It will save me tons of time and of course money.

Seolinkvine is closing Doors on 14th May!
This Friday we're closing the doors to NEW MEMBERS for the "get links" side of SEOLinkVine. If you're already a member, nothing will be effected, other than the fact that you can probably expect more links, faster, as we build out our blog network without accepting new members to the "get links" portion (so, GREAT news for you if you're already a member). I had planned to keep the site open to new members forever, but because the response was so high, we reached our capacity in only a couple of weeks. Apparently word spread throughout forums that our system actually increases links and Google rankings. Go figureBecause of this, we're closing the doors to new members this Friday at 2:00pm ET and will be focusing entirely on growing, growing, and growing our blog network to triple the amount of links that members should expect to get (as well as integrating new feature requests and some other cool stuff I've got up my sleeve) Anyway, I won't ramble anymore about this. I just wanted to give you a heads up that if you try to signup to the "get links" portion of SEOLinkVine after this Friday at 2pm ET, then you unfortunately won't be able to. The "get content" part of SEOLinkVine will be open indefinitely, though. So if you're using the system JUST to get free, automated content, you'll still be able to signup for that portion forever.

TheBestSpinner New Features: Rewrite Sentences And Paragraphs + Senuke Integration
I already talked about Jonathan Leger's The Best Spinner in my review which can be found at Best Spinner Review. The Best Spinner is really the best article spinner software I ever came across, and trust me, I have tried all of them. Jonathan just released a new feature which makes creating unique articles even faster: the "Rewrite Sentence" and "Rewrite Paragraph" option.
All you have to do is mark a sentence or paragraph, press the "Rewrite Sentences and Paragraphs" tab and add your different versions of sentences or even whole paragraphs. This new feature is a real time saver and creating real unique articles now gotten even faster and even more convenient.
Another great news is that there is now a The Best Spinner Api which gives programmers the option of integrating The Best Spinner into their own software.
Ok, it did not really suprise me that they guys of Senuke were real fast and The Best Spinner is now already integrated into Senuke. If you are a frequent reader of my blog you know that Senuke is another one of my favorite marketing weapons. You can find my review at Senuke Review. The Best Spinner replaces ContentBoss integration. The best part about TheBestSpinner is that there are no limits to how many articles you can spin! ContentBoss limited you to something like 50 spun articles for $30 per month. TBS lets you do unlimited for $77 per YEAR (that’s less than $7 per month)! For those who don’t have TheBestSpinner yetyou can sign up here: Download The Best Spinner

Best Blog Networks: Articleranks, 1WayLinks, AMA, MAN, Seolinkvine
If you are doing affiliate marketing one way of getting backlinks should be joining one (or several) Blog Networks. You will find a list of my favorite ones below. You should know that all of them have disadvantage and advantages. This is why none of them is bad, they are all good for gaining backlinks. The blog networks listed below are the ones in Seolinkvine style (not Linkvana style.. I will talk about these ones later). Seolinkvine style means: you submit one spun article and it gets send out to x number of participating blogs.
You should also note that getting a FAST and reliable article spinner software is a MUST HAVE. My favorite tool is The Best Spinner
My personal winner: Articleranks
Articleranks is in my eyes the best blog network. Why? Articleranks has more PR1+ blogs in the network than any other blog network. The reason behind this is that only if you add a PR1+ blog you will get credits. You may use these credits to submit articles to other blogs. The more powerful your site the more credits you will receive for each distribution. Also: in addition to this as of the 2nd April 2010, you can now add static sites to the system, where they will publish via FTP. None of the other blog networks offer such a high quality. I have been a member since February and I am getting real visitors from Articleranks on a daily base. Their blog network is growing rapidly and one article gets an average of 80 backlinks in 30 days. You can either become a paid member and get unlimited article submissions for $37 a month, or you buy one article submission for $2, or you add your blog, earn credits for publishing other user's articles and use these to distribute your own articles to other members blogs.
Second Winner: 1Waylinks
As of today there are 4100 blogs in the 1Waylinks blog network. The good thing about 1waylinks is that they have more unique C-Class blogs in their network than any other blog network. The reason is that a user may only add one domain per C-Class block to the network. You may know that Google values links coming from different C-Class IP blocks a lot more than links coming from different domains residing on the same C-Class IP block. The C-Class Ip rule results in a lot of users adding a blog to their main domain, so you will find a lot of PR1+ blogs in the network. What I do not like is the fact that there are no categories to choose from and you only get 250 links (50 additional links for every blog you add and where you will accept content). The problem of the missing categories is that blogs look spammy, because you will receive all kinds of articles. The price of 1Waylinks is $47 a month. However, the first month only costs $7. Although there are many disadvantages, 1Waylinks is still my second favorite blog network.
Three: Myarticlenetwork and ArticleMarketingAutomation
First of all you should know that Myarticlenetwork (MAN) and ArticleMarketingAutomation (AMA) are the SAME thing. So there is no need to join both of them! They have a different name and different website, but the blog network they are using is the same. The good thing about MAN and AMA is that there blog network is huge (about 20,000) blogs. So your article will be published to a lot of blogs pretty fast. The downside: blogs are of pure quaity and most of them are PR0. But well... a link is a link and of course there are a lot of PR1+ blogs as well. So MAN and AMA is still a good way for gaining backlinks.
Four: SeoLinkVine
There has been a lot of hype about Seolinkvine in the past weeks. They re-opened their doors on 28th April and I joined on that date. You can read my full review here. Articles still get sent out pretty slowly and it will take some time for their network to grow. As of now they are on the last rank of recommended blog networks. Do not get me wrong: this does not mean they are a waste of time. If you are doing affiliate marketing every backlink counts, so Seolinkvine will get you backlinks, no doubt about that. But they are slow and I expect the quality of blog network sites to be about the same quality than Myarticlenetwork (MAN) and ArticleMarketingAutomation (AMA)

Services Similar To Linkvana: Build My Rank, Blog Blueprint
Below you will find some content marketing services I am currently testing and will post more details in the future.
Services Similar To Linkvana
Build My Rank
Similar to Linkvana. They claim that their network consists of high quality, aged domains only (PR1-PR6) and is growing at a rate of 50 blogs per month. The cost is $59 per month. There is an integrated ousourcing service. Cost $2 per post. Post word minimum: 150 word.
Free Trial! You will get 10 free links when you signup for a free trial. Go to Build My Rank
The IM Advantage
I really like this one and I just joined 10 days ago. Well, I have to admit, that their homepage is pretty confusing and does not look professional at all(Sorry for saying this...). If I had not read so much about it, I most likely would not have joined. The IM Advantage consists of tons of videos, audios, guides and so on to show you step by step how to make money online. I have to admit, that so far I have not had a look at these videos and guides, because they are not the reason why I joined. I most likely will have a look at them once I have some time left.
The major reason why I joined IM Advantage is that you will get access to
1. BlogBlueprint
BlogBlueprint is a Blog Network of about 800 PR3 - PR5 Blogs. Unlike Linkvana, Blog Blueprint does approve and publish your posts pretty quickly, and pass on link juice and count as back links. Write A 100 word snippet, add one link and submit it. Limit are 20 post per day (as of now). One Post is published every 30 minutes.
I verified most of my posts and the blogs were indeed all Pr3- Pr5!
2. ArticleBlueprint
It's similar to Uniquearticlewizard. You have submit 3 versions of your article. The article will then be submitted to their OWN network of Blogs and article directories (about 800).
3. LinkBlueprint
Link Blueprint is a 3-way link network. This gives you another way of getting links to your site. I already use link blueprint and can attest to its effectiveness.
All 3 Modules (plus a lot more) is included in your IM Membership which is $140 a month.
However, you can test drive IM for $4.95 for 7 days. Go to their main site and leave. As soon as you leave you will be presented the special trial offer! Go to IM Advantage
So far I really Like Im Advantage and will write a more in depth review as soon as I have results.
PaidBackLinks
This service is not really similar to Linvana, because you do not have to submit content. Your link and keyword will be implemented into existing articles. Paidbacklinks claims to have over 642,583 Available Link Targets.
There is a Free Trial and you will get 10 free links upon signup.
I tested is and all of my links went online within some hours. I was even shown the exact url of the blog where my link has been placed and I have to admit altough the blogs are all either Pr0 to PR1, they are at least indexed in Google. In case you decide to become a paid member, the cheapest membership offer is $37 recurring ( 100 credits/month, additional credits are $0.29). I am still undecided now, but might give them a try sometime.
Linkracer
Linkracer is a privately held network of 5000 blogs. I joined 6 weeks ago. Membership fee is $17 for 12 submission to 100 sites. However, you can buy upgrades:
25 articles to 500 sites. Drip fed over the course of a month - $25.00
25 articles to 1000 sites. Drip fed over the course of a month - $35.00
40 articles to 2000 sites. Drip fed over the course of a month - $50.00
40 articles to 3000 sites. Drip fed over the course of a month - $65.00
40 articles to 4000 sites. Drip fed over the course of a month - $75.00
40 articles to 5000 sites. Drip fed over the course of a month - $85.00
Articles will be drip fed over 30 days. You cannot submit spun content, so the same article will go out to all blogs. Most of the blogs are .info and look all about the same. I received tons of pingbacks to my blogs, but so far I have not seen a single backlink showing up in Google or Yahoo Explorer. Let's see how things go. As of now I cannot tell if it is worth the investment as.
Articleslingshot
Articleslingshot is another privately held blog network of 4000 blogs. It also does not accept spun content. One single article sent to all blogs (choose category "ALL") is $3. I purchased the 100 submission package and submitted 100 articles back in February. My stats say I am getting up to 3000 views per day, but NO ONE is clicking over to my websites. I really wonder why.... I also cannot spot any backlinks indexed in Google or Yahoo Explorer.

I have no idea how something like this is possible and this is why I do not recommend this service.

Seo Linkvine Review - SeoLinkvine, Articleranks And 1WayLinks
Brad Callen's Seo Linkvine just re-opened its doors on 28th April 2010. Seo Linkvine is a Blog Network which allows you to post your article to other members blogs. In addition you also have the option getting articles posted to your own blogs.
You might have come across the name Matt Callen. He is the Brad Callen's brother and the owner of Myarticlenetwork, which is about the same service, but using a completely different network of blogs.
The main purpose of Seo Linkvine and any other Blog Network is to build tons of backlinks to increase search engine rankings.
How does it work?
1. You prepare a quality article 2. Spin it ( I recommend using The Best Spinner ) 3. Submit to the system 4. Get hundreds of backlinks from each article over time.
There are several similar services out there: Myarticlenetwork, Backlinksolutions (currently closed), Articleranks, 1waylinks.net, too name the most popular ones.
I have been a member of Myarticlenetwork, but cancelled my membership, because I did not get any results. As of now I am still a member of Articleranks, 1waylinks.net and Seo Linkvine
So let's have a look at the Pros and Cons of the Blog networks I mentioned above:
Seo Linkvine
I joined on 28th April 2010 and submitted 275 spun articles.
My stats after 1 week are as follows:
Total articles submitted to the system: 273 (273 total articles)
Total number of times those articles have been approved: 1120
Total number of times those articles were presented to site owners: 1616
Total acceptance rate by site owners: 90 %
I have to admit that I am a little disappointed about the distribution speed and expected my articles to get distributed a lot faster. Right now I am under the impression that the Blog Network of Seo Linkvine is not big enough to get articles out faster.
This would explain why they started a contest to make people submit their blogs. So obviously the Blog Network will grow over time and probably at a fast rate. However, the disadvantage I see is that in difference to 1waylinks.net there is no limit on how many blogs residing on the same C-Class blog can be submitted.
If you have been doing online marketing for a while you know what I am talking about. Links coming from the same C-Class IP address do not count as much than different C-Class Ip addresses.
1waylinks.net only accepts one blog form one C-Class Ip address, which makes real sense.
Seo Linkvine does not have any rule like that and in theory one could create 1000 blogs using a Hostgator account and submit them all to the system just to win the Sony Bravia LCD Tv.....
So the contest they are running will increase the number of Blogs in the network fast, but the quality will definitely suffer a lot.
Right now you might say: Wow, so should I stay away from Seo Linkvine? Yes and No.
You have to keep in mind that every single one of the Blog Network services has its weak points. This does not make them completely useless.
Let's Have A Look At 1waylinks.net
1waylinks.net only accepts Blogs from different C-Class IPs. However they don't give you the option choosing categories. All blog posts are submitted to the same category on ALL blogs, which makes the blog accepting blog posts from 1waylinks.net look pretty spammy. In addition you only get 250 links a month for $47 and an additional 50 links for every Blog (unique C-Class Blog) you submit. Another disadvantage is that many topics are not allowed e.g. get ex back, year 2012, spirituality, dating etc. However I think that it is still good value, because 1waylinks.net has over 4000 Blogs in the network residing on different C-Class Ips. Your article will get distributed fast.
Seo Linkvine gives you tons of categories to choose from. By doing this your article will in most cases be sent to a niche blog that is highly relevant to your article, which is a great thing.
If you are a blog owner and accept articles form Seo Linkvine you have the option of rejecting articles that are less than 30% unique and you can also manually reject all articles before they get posted to your blog. I have submitted 30 of my blogs. I do not want them to get spammed and Seo Linkvine so far sent me a lot of quality articles! However, I have to admit that I still manually rejected some of them, because they did not fit EXACTLY into my niche.
So what about Articleranks?
So far Articleranks is my favorite Blog Network. I already wrote a review which can be found at Articleranks Review
You have 311 articles registered on the system.
Those articles have been presented 34907 times for consideration by site owners.
The articles have been approved 27305 times and rejected 5864 times, but have auto rejected 5657, which means your articles have a rejection rate of 18%.
A total of 1738 copies are still waiting for a decision by site owners. In total, the system has successfully published 26022 copies of your articles.
I joined Articleranks in February 2010 and I am impressed by the numbers and also by the fact that I get REAL visitors from these blog posts. I cannot say how much my rankings increased by using Articleranks, because I am using various services at the same time.
Right now I cannot make a fair decision whether Seo Linkvine is as good as Articleranks. Only time will tell, but I will keep you updated!
