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.
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.

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.
Seolinkvine Screenshot:
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).

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.

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)

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!
