Article Ranks

I have to pay to submit articles after I join?

No, monthly members get unlimited submissions, meaning that they can submit as much as they want, but if you want to get more out of it by submitting your articles to more than one category, like a broader category that is susceptible to getting wider syndication…then you’ll have to use up some credits to do so. So, a paid monthly member who wants more of a boost and wider syndication with their article ranks submission should order some credits, but there’s no need to always pay for credits when you can earn them by adding a site to their system.
What if I don’t want unlimited submissions, and just want to earn credits in order to post a few articles and get a few links

If you don’t need to blast the internet, or AR’s network with dozens of articles for massive link building then you can:
- pay as you go and pay for submissions,or…
- earn credits by adding a site to their system (if you add a site with PR you get more credits, the higher the Page Rank of the site the more credits or crediT you get).
- earn credits for adding some social site logins to their system,too

Suffice to say, this could be a real economical way for people who don’t need a lot of backlinks to basically pay a one-time fee (buy a domain with Page Rank), then add it to the system to earn credits).

What are the Article Ranks Page Rank and network size numbers?
Mostly Pr1-3 sites, smattering of higher PR sites,obviously less sites with higher Page Rank, and many of these sites will get their PR boosted with next PR updates anyway, so even adding a PR 0 site would have some long term value some day.
The AR network is over 3k sites, not sure about the IPs diversity but the network is still growing a quite a good clip. The vast majority of the sites in the network are “donor sites”, which caused me some concern because SEO LV, My Article Network, and1waylinks are all donor-site run networks and they’re all on my not recommended list. But with Article Ranks, the donor sites are either sites with Page Rank or sites about to get Page Rank, therefore of some quality, and more importantly, most importantly in fact… members who add donor sites to the system can specify how many submissions they’d like to receive and/or post daily.
This sort of puts the onus on the owners of the donor sites… to ensure their sites don’t become outbound link farms,to maintain their sites’ PR so to continue getting free submissions credits based on the Article Rank’s algorithm for PR value of donor site equaling their submissions credits potential.
What’s the whole article submissions process like, how many links can be expected,and what’s the indexing rate like?
Now that you know how the whole pricing system and credits earnings system works,is AR effective and what kind of damage can you do with it?
The Best Spinner has an export function (from what I’m told) that is compatible with Article Ranks submissions area but AR has its own spinner too. However, your submission acceptance rates and syndication levels (how many sites will accept this content?) is still dependent on the quality of your article, spun or not, manually spun articles get accepted more often,and how many backlinks you get via syndication is still based on the number of categories/sites where your article has a good chance of getting “hosted-and-posted”.
So if you write good spun articles in the technology, internet, health, and cars niches, then you’ll definitely get a good number of backlinks, like 125 per article written.
Indexing: Musa told me that their network gets about 50-70% indexing rate on articles submitted within first few weeks, with these numbers improving over time. Also, its good to note that they’ve added a feature that should increase indexing rates to an even higher level with their social boosting program, which works like this:
Give them your login information for X of social accounts you have and they’ll do the posting and bookmarking for you. Not sure if they use all members’ profiles and accounts to social boost just your own articles or entire paid members base’s articles (that’d be best to avoid obvious self-promotion bans) but either way, it will still add even more value and indexing power to their service, that’s for sure.

Do you really get 100+ backlinks per article ?
One of the URLS I tested in Article Ranks has 410 backlinks to it according to 3 different backlinks checkers, and I wrote 4 well-spun articles for linking to this site, which is page 2 for a somewhat competitive program name term. I can only suppose that another 4 articles would have me in top 5 for this term.
Is Article Ranks recommended?
Yes, it’s low enough priced, gets stuff indexed, network grows constantly and can move a site up in the rankings.

Disclosure: I managed to finagle a discount for you, 5 free credits to try out their system. It’s a coupon code tied into my affiliate link. So click the affiliate link here, then enter in the following code to get the discount. That’s 500 free backlinks… You’re welcome !:)

Rank Builder known as Link Builders

Rank Builder formerly known as Link Builders which supposedly does Web 2.0 account creations, email verifications, content submissions, RSS mashups, RSS submissions, profiles link building, and spinning.

Here’s how the first test went.
1. Profiles Link builder- smooth, fast, flew right through the de-captchas, worked well
2. RSS submissions – worked flawlessly
3. Web 2.0 account creations – only 1 out of 50 account creations failed, pretty good
4. Email verifications- didn’t work
5. Web 2.0 content submissions – didn’t work all failed, perhaps due to not using a catch-all email address
6. Spinner – handles big-time spinning double-nested spinning, works well with the Best Spinner.

Downsides that should be fixed:

Biggest issue in long run is the user names for account creations are all the same and should be different, randomized, unique etc….

Is it a resource hog that crashes all the time like SE nuke?
Used hardly any resource, didn’t crash once, took 3 hours to do a big run, of account creations (manual) email verifications, profiles linking, RSS submissions, spinning,

Other Notes: Rank builder is basically the new and improved Link Builders Pro, is a JV between Maulana and Alex Goad, so if you read reviews on Link Builders Pro that said it sucked, then realize this is not your grand-daddy’s LB Pro! :)

If you read reviews about Alex Goad’s stuff that’s negative that’s news to me, and I could care less about old news, all I care about it whether or not this tool/service works well. I’m an isolationist type of dude and don’t cater to the mainstream or guru audience, but you know that, right? RIGHT! :)

If our test with the Web 2.0 submissions works well when using catchall domains/email addresses, this will definitely be recommended.

As good if not better than SE Nuke, especially if they randomize the user names portion of the account creations.

Update will be posted here in a few hours, hope Alex and Maulana fix the (same for all accounts) user names thing though! Gimme a sec, waiting for my partner to run the catch-alls test

UPDATE:
RB won’t work with free yahoo emails, you need to use a catchall domain email address or free pop3 account in situations like this. With RB, the catchalls don’t work, but a free pop3 did work, so once that was done, email verifications were flawless. Still, after all that, only got 35% success rates with the Web 2.0 submissions.

UPDATE 2, 9/9/2010: 70% success with Web 2.0 submissions, but was a real quirky PITA to get to that point, and VAST majority of users, do not have the wherewithal to screw around with this in order to get 70% success rate.

Also, of the 70% successes, 3 were immediately deleted, not programs fault, but we got 32 successful submissions on some web 2.0s that aren’t deleted (yet! :( )

UPDATE 9/10/2010: About half of the successfully submitted web 2.0s are already deleted.

No contact from anyone at Rank Builder (not a programmer or co-owner, nothing) despite knowing their software has major issues. This bodes not well for any future consumers….

Stay away until someone reputable with integrity actually uses the service and can show you proof it works, and well, repeatedly, consistently

About RSS Submission

When I do RSS submissions, I usually used to think of just doing the obligatory submitting of my sites’ main RSS feed to a few places like feedagg and feedage
.
Part of my checklist for bringing new sites online includes:
- Directory submissions
- Search engines submissions
- RSS Feed submissions
- Some social bookmarking
- Getting other sites to link to you
- Creating sitemap
- Adding blogs to Google Blog Search engine

You don’t have to do all of these things but doing all of them gives you a nice well-rounded “links profile”…

What’s good about doing RSS submissions specifically is it helps get your site indexed quickly via acquisition of some decent backlinks but I never really thought of it as a serious link building tool:

What most webmasters, myself included are doing wrong or were doing wrong with RSS Feed Submissions:

1. Only submitting RSS feeds to a few places
2. Only submitting the main site feed (sitename.com/feed)
3. Never submitting the RSS feed of your Article Directory, social site accounts or profiles.

Based on my past experiences with using RSS I just knew there should be a way to make better use of this technology besides submitting main site feeds to a few places.

I always wished I could do more with RSS, like making all of my site content into individual rss feeds somehow, then submitting each of those as new, separate from main site urls/RSS feeds.

The solutions for accomplishing this this seemed too “techie” and complicated so I didn’t do it, especially since I’d never been convinced of the real power of RSS.

Well, the software I started using a few days is like a dream come true for me, and for me it’s truly the missing link for realizing and enjoying the true power of RSS submissions.

- The TRUE POWER of RSS Feed submissions doesn’t come from submitting your site’s main feed.
- The TRUE POWER of RSS Feed submission from domination of long tail terms that most site content pieces are designed for.
- TRUE POWER of RSS Feed submissions comes from getting high quality deep links to every single page on your site automatically

In my opinion the BEST RSS Submission software would automatically create an RSS feed out of a blog post url or even html page and then submit it to some good RSS Aggregator sites.

Imagine the kind of long-tail domination you’d be enjoying if you got 20 backlinks from RSS aggregator sites for every new post or page you publish…

Now imagine a plugin / software solution that would also do this for all your older posts and pages!

The plugin/software that I’ve been using for the past few days does exactly that. You get high PageRank (PR 4-6) RSS aggregator sites linking to each and every single piece of content on all your sites automatically.

I bought, installed and configured this plugin on a Saturday afternoon and let it do its work, expecting another disappointment form another “Best RSS Submission software”…

Well, on Sunday night I just happened to see some results on this in the SERPs and was absolutely amazed at how well the RSS submissions are doing in the rankings. Not only do these RSS sites show my blog post titles in the SERPS ABOVE my content they’re linking to, but they’re also bumping up some of my rankings without me lifting a finger.

Long-tail domination is going to be achieved here, even by the stupidest, non-techie webmasters, BUT….it will also leads to more link juice, higher PageRank, and better SERPs for everything you post moving forward due to the increased link juice and authority of your site, SEO-wise.

I’m going to be recommending this product, but I’m going to allow more time to pass so that more and more proof can be shown via a video presentation.

I’ll also make a short email newsletter out of this to address some quirks with this software and best practices for using it.

This is going to change how I blog. I have over 20 blogs I post to regularly and when I want to dominate the SERPs for long tail terms, I usually have to post modified versions of the base articles on my other sites, but not any more.

This plugin means I can write a whole lot less and still dominate the long-tail SERPS

UPDATE: A lot of people have asked me for a link to the product I’m referencing here, but aren’t seeing or using the newsletter option. Again, I was trying to share something valuable that would give you an edge on your competition, without letting the whole world see it, so here’s the link to the product

I highly recommend you get the newsletter below to find out more about this and to get my updates on how to use RSS feeds and rss submissions for maximum effect.

LATEST UPDATE: My fledgling link building service does automated RSS submissions for you so need to buy a plugin anymore, so go here and get a membership and inside the member’s area you’ll see how to go about getting these types of links.
