2010 May - Part 2

12May/100

Seolinkvine is closing Doors on 14th May!

I have just received notification from Brad Callen that he will be closing SEOLinkVine for new members to obtain links this Friday, as response has been so good he now wants to keep the network private and closed so current members get all of the link power.

So if you do not sign up to SEOLinkVine by Friday you will probably not have another chance. I have attached Brads email below.

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 figure  

Because 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!
