Summary:

A cool deal for anyone who wishes to jump on the AMR bandwagon – look at the bottom of this review for the special offer!

This software is powerful stuff! Now, as I write this review, they have over 5 thousand directories within their database, which is a huge amount of submissions that potentially can be made from one spun article!

The Article Marketing Robot software is currently a one-off payment of 97 US bucks (see at the bottom of this page for a hot deal!). Now, that is a rise on the price that I got it a few months back, but this thing is potentially so powerful that it would appear to be worth grabbing at the one time price it is now. No doubt this will rise soon enough!

In fact, it may go to a monthly fee. We saw what happened with the Build my Rank (links to a previous review on this blog) software – the price soared way up from its original $59 per month not too long after I had given it the big thumbs up and had even gone to the extent of displaying a number of my own results from utilizing BMR – some folks waited too long to get in on the early bird price!

I can’t really comment about the performance of the Article Marketing Robot (AMR) software in terms of helping a webpage or pages to rank in Google. I used it on a couple of domains – new domains I may add, about 3 months ago. And I suspect I got my sites “sandboxed” for doing so. Hmmm… if that is so, then it does say something about the potential for AMR, if used in a more sensible fashion than I used it, lol!

I like to experiment with tools and how to best use them. I’ve proven that its not wise to use this thing on new domains if you are intent on blasting a whole ton of links to your domain in the early days.

Nevertheless, from now I will be using AMR to either mix it up with other links to more mature sites. Or, to use it to begin backinking to a new site but in a much, much more refrained manner than I did previously. In fact, whilst writing up this particular review, I am using it to work on a charity website.

The charity website is www.CharityHappenings.org

I digress!

There are now a grand total of 5,206 directories that this tool submits to (seems to increase every day). That is a whole lot of potential submissions!

I do advise that you sign up with one of the de-captcha services such as this one…

http://www.deathbycaptcha.com/user/login

This costs $1.39 per thousand captchas.

Then once you have that, simply add in your details to the AMR system by going to:

tools (at the top); options (in the drop down from tools); captcha cracking.

If you do not, then you end up with hundreds of captchas to fill in manaually. So its worth paying a few bucks to get this taken care of for you. Its a real pain in the ass if you don’t!

Furthermore, its most probably wise to get a different email address than the one you normally use for day to day emails. If you don’t then you are liable to receive a whole lot of spam in future. And in the meantime, you get hundreds of emails from article directories with user links and welcome messages. Use an email that comes from your hosting service. Many article directories these days do not accept freebie email addresses such as Google email address.

.
The POP3 set up is no doubt going to cause a number of people problems – it did me – I hate this part of any software that I use. The mere mention of POP3 set up has me quaking! But if it does impose some problems for you, simply contact your web hosting company. There were a number of times when I could not get it to work when setting up a new email account for more article submissions. So what I did was to go on live support via Hostgator and these guys and girls helped me to figure out the problems every time!

Oh, there is one thing that I should mention about this software – unlike the likes of Unique Article Wizard, you can follow up on previous articles posted and then ping them using a service such as www.pingler.com This is obviously a very handy bonus because it heightens the chances of your article submissions actually being indexed in the search engines.

As soon as I get some results from using this tool for my charity work (and other projects besides), I’ll be posting them up here on the blog. So do watch out for that.

Here are details of the hot deal: there is always the problem with Clickbank products that they offer up a 60 day refund. Now obviously for those of us who wish to purchase something from CB this is certainly not a problem. But for those who offer money-off deals it casts up a few problem issues.

 

With that in mind, what I am willing to do is to offer you $20 off your purchase price (currently $97) which will mean you only pay $77 for the AMR product.

However, to get that special offer, you have to send me your receipt of purchase once you have been using the product for no less than the initial 2 month period. Sorry I have to do things this way, but there is absolutely no doubt that some people are very happy to do the bad thing here, so I have to safeguard myself  in this respect. I’m sure you fully understand.

Very interesting piece of software. So, would use this as a replacement for UAW or as supplement to it? It looks like it would be a good replacement for UAW for building back links to anchor sites.

I was almost sold on this until I saw that it was Windows only. :(

- Matt

Joseph January 29, 2011 at 2:19 am

Hi Matt, so many software apps that are non- web-based seem to be Windows only. I would suggest this is a preferable app than is UAW for precisely the work that you mention – build up fast and furious anchor site backlinks.

However, there is another service that I have not personally used but I heard good things about from one particular source. Its web based, thus matters not if you use a Mac or Windows apps.

http://www.distributeyourarticles.com/

Its monthly fee, although you can pay for a whole year ($200 US). If paying monthly its $40 per month, thus is quite a bit cheaper than UAW. Or for 3 months its $80 US. Well worth checking out, and I may even use it myself in the coming weeks, in tandem with AMR.

Regards
Joseph

Tom January 29, 2011 at 4:26 am

I was able to find it for $87… haven’t used it yet but with 5000 directories you can’t really go wrong.

It is possible that you simply got your sites sandboxed or when google seen so many links come at once they were not willing to acknowledge all of them and you missed out on the link juice.

Tom

Joseph January 29, 2011 at 5:28 am

Yes Tom, – and that 5k directories grows some every day! Mind you, successful submission rates are far less than the 5k mark. But I’m happy even to get 1.5k submissions.

No doubt Goog were displeased with me when I tried to cut corners like this. And I’ve suffered ever since ;-) Nevertheless, I’m now working on reversing this so hopefully its merely a matter of time and focus and it will be “sandbox” no more! I’ll make mention on the blog here when indeed I do see reversal on the “sandbox” for the sites in question.

Ben January 29, 2011 at 3:07 pm

I’d love to be able to afford software like this. I’m currently struggling to pay my $20 a month for hosting, and about the same again for SickSubmitter lol. I just hope my domains manage to pay for themselves in the first year so I can keep them on, otherwise I’ll have to drop a couple.

AMR does sounds quite amazing though. I’ll have to save up for it, and hope I don’t miss the ‘one-off’ price before it goes to subscription.

Ben.

Tom January 29, 2011 at 3:18 pm

Ben,

I really doubt that it will go to subscription as the owner tried it already. There was a huge backlash from the users and he went back to the one time fee and raised the price instead.

However we never know and the price could easily double for this type of software.

Tom

Ben January 29, 2011 at 3:22 pm

Did he try to charge existing users the subscription? Those who have already purchased should remain a one-off, and only new users should be charged subscription.

Ben.

Tom January 29, 2011 at 5:07 pm

Don’t remember that part as I did not care much about the software in the beginning as it only had around a 1000 directories and with UAW, article ranks and such it simply didn’t appeal to me. I tried a different manual submitter a while back which had a very pathetic distribution rate and took a lot of babysitting so it took a lot to convince me to give this one another look. I can ask some people though how the rate change affected them. This happened around november last year so I bet you can find some postings on WF about it.

The subscribers were given their money back after it went back to the one time fee though so either way it wasn’t too bad.

Ben January 29, 2011 at 6:44 pm

Thankyou for the input Tom. I’m still learning about all this stuff (as you can probably tell).

Ben.

Joseph January 29, 2011 at 6:51 pm

Aren’t we all, Ben! :-)

Hope you are enjoying the freezing cold of the UK. I’m coming back over shortly – change in plans – around 18th February or something about then. Yooook – oh so colllllddddd!

Off back to the sack for now though.

Jo

Ben January 29, 2011 at 7:18 pm

Haha no, I’m not enjoying it one single bit!!
It’s minus 2 here at the moment, and the ice hastn’ lifted in north Wales for about 3 days. On the plus side, I’ve got a house viewing tomorrow evening after work, and if all goes well, I’ll be moving to a new place that has central heating :D I can’t wait.

At least you’ll be on ‘holiday’ when you come back over here, and won’t mind the cold too much because you know you’re going back to sunnier climbs.

Ben.

Benny February 3, 2011 at 3:09 am

You say you got sandboxes when using AMR and that you would try to be more sensible next time. What would you suggest? I’m going to try out AMR soon and don’t want to get sandboxed!
Benny recently posted..Have Read More Books This Year than Last 5 Years Combined

Joseph February 3, 2011 at 3:36 am

I was in a rush Benny, lol! Simple as that. This tool is not the tool to be using if you are in a rush to rank a new site. In fact, no tool can be used to rush such a job and guarantee you it will work. Ideally, AMR should be used to fire off backlinks to a buffer layer first off. Once you’ve got enough backlinks from your buffer layer (etc.) to your primary site, then you can start to hit the primary site with the likes of the AMR tool. Either that, or drip feed the articles at a slow rate – you can set this up via the AMR interphase too, just as you would with Unique Article Wizard.

webtechlife February 4, 2011 at 9:04 am

Very interesting software .It is possible that you simply got your sites sandboxed when using AMR……….Thanks for sharing this.

Joseph February 4, 2011 at 9:16 am

Hi WebTechLife, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!

For sure – I did “sandbox” a couple of sites by going full throttle with this software way too early. On the other hand, a couple of sites fared rather better – one of which I sold for 500 bucks just 2 months after its inception (maybe its “sandboxed” now though, lol! Sorry – bad joke that!).

But yes, there are far better and safer ways to utilize this software than merely using it to blast new domains in the hope that Google will not notice. Setting up a buffer layer of web 2.0s and article directory submissions in between the AMR submissions and the money site is for sure a very sensible approach here!

Regards
Joseph

Ben February 4, 2011 at 9:59 am

Could you throw as many links at you want at the buffer layer because your accounts are already on a well established site?

Ben.
Ben recently posted..Update- Week 16

Joseph February 4, 2011 at 11:23 am

Hi Ben, nope!

Haha – that got you!

I read fairly recently that if you throw much of the forum profile type links at Hubs, the Hub management will shut you down pronto! Interesting that isn’t it?! But say Squidoo – should be no problems with that one as far as their management is concerned. Seth Godin is pretty cool with a lot of things, so it seems. Good for you Seth!

But having said that, I remember a while back I was working with Rob, my techie computer geekie friend (hi Rob ;-) ) and he blasted a ton of xrumer type profile links at a Squidoo (I think it was). The Squidoo disappeared… Hmmm…

Now that is not to say however, that even if the Squid ends in Goog supplementals/sandbox, you are not getting at least some juice from it. You may well indeed be. Its all hear-say though Ben, your guess is as good as my own here. After all, I don’t believe its possible to de-index a Squidoo lens now is it… Lol!

Regards
Joseph

Ben February 6, 2011 at 8:57 pm

Interesting. Squidoo monitor their backlinks to check if people are going mad backlinking their pages? Or is it the Google / Squidoo (or any web2.o) relationship that the magic happens at here?

As for de-indexing (or atleast sandboxing) a Squidoo…surely blasting it with links will only make the whole site stronger as a whole.

Ben.
Ben recently posted..My Inspirational Blogs

Joseph February 7, 2011 at 1:47 am

Hey Ben, apparently Squidoo do not seem to mind the backlinking patterns but Hubpages do. Thus if you hit your Hub with lots of forum profile links you are liable to have no more Hub.

Blasting a Squid with backlinks does add “juice” no doubt about that. And google do not appear to punish this type of behaviour either.

Joseph February 7, 2011 at 3:33 am

That’s cool Matt! Just take it easy with regards to hitting your money site too early on, or else you’ll do what I did – sandbox ;-)

Matt Hooper February 7, 2011 at 3:45 am

Hi Joseph,

I have just been looking more into Article Marketing Robot (AMR), Distribute Your Articles (DYA) and Content Crooner (CC).

I guess DYA and CC were the fallout of a split between two developers that had another similar product called Article Marketer. I found a thread on the WF about how neither DYA or CC are a good choice. (thread at http://bit.ly/fXIBqo)

AMR looks like a decent product but for me I would prefer something that was web based so that scheduled submissions don’t depend on me having the program running on my computer all the time. I get forgetful. I was going to just run it in emulation.

All said, it looks like AMW is the clear choice. Backlinks Genie looks promising too but I’ll need to increase revenue first.

- Matt

PS: I’m not getting email notifications, even with checking the box below.

Joseph February 7, 2011 at 6:07 am

Hi Matt, I’ve heard about the other 2 products you mention but not used them so can’t really comment fairly. But AMR is good – very powerful, albeit it does not publish to all the directories they have lined up. Lucky to get half of them.

I hear you loud and clear about this thing being web based as opposed to computer based – it would be rather better, I agree!

Backlinks Genie – I really like this tool, and fortunately that is totally web based!

Genie update re rankings: I’ve not checked much but one I do see is this…

Kwd has 3k global exact search. Was in 7th position in Scroogle and 8th in Google.

I added this into Genie two weeks ago. Have added a web 2.0 blast straight to the money site. And 750 blog posts to the web 2.0s. Have not as yet used AMR on this due to shortage of time.

New rankings:
5th in Google
3rd in Scroogle.

Not a particularly competitive kwd for sure, but nevertheless a nice bump up in merely a couple of weeks.

Not sure why you are not getting email notifications about the new posts Matt. I’ll maybe have to re-install something, or get Andrew to check this out towards month end. Thanks for letting me know!

Joseph

Ben February 7, 2011 at 5:43 pm

Point noted, thanks Jo!

Hey Joseph
I was just curious if you have continued any work with AMR ? After looking over all the products you reccomend I think I will be getting TBS first. It seems to fit my current needs pretty well and I will just speed up my manual submissions and go from there. With my brand new sites this seems to be the safer approach but still planning long term out and would love an update if you have it ! thanks a ton

Blake

Joseph September 14, 2011 at 11:11 pm

AMR – yes Blake, I do use it on occasion, but I’m the guy who although I spend most of my waking life online, hate working with clunky tools that take a lot of messing around with. I much prefer the online tools where there are no captchas to be fiddled around with, no proxies to work with, no messing around to get the thing to work. AMR is ragged and raw, but it is very powerful, hence its become thoroughly popular. If you can cope with the messing around, this is a worthy tool to use indeed! Be careful with it though, its mighty powerful!

Joseph

steve October 10, 2011 at 12:09 am

Hi Joseph

Are you still using backlink genie? and is it still effective?

thanks

Joseph October 10, 2011 at 12:18 am

Hi Steve, yes I am currently using one high end account on Backlinks Genie, so obviously I do feel its worth every penny or I’d not be shelling out $137 a month for it :-)

steve October 10, 2011 at 12:43 am

Thanks Joseph,

your up nice and early, to start your working week :-)

I have the lowest cost option on genie and considering the plunge. Ill take your comment as a recomendation then :-)

Im a fan of SEnukeX as well but it requires a lot of work and learning curve. so using it with oursources i believe will be difficult or expensive (as they consider themselves highly trained).

Do you use the “Teenie Genie” (lol) type elements or do you just use the individual modules?

And stratgegy ideas would be welomed.

regards
steve recently posted..Drip Fed Blended Backlinks

Joseph October 10, 2011 at 1:41 am

You’re quite right Steve – I got up just after 5 this morning, and went out to get my 3 bottles of wine and cigars as I always do (I’m forever the health addict, you know), and then power-walked my way home to get some top notch exercise in before I slump in the seat for the rest of the day and grow ever-more fat around the mid-riff ;-)

As you know, Genie is so easy to set up and use and it can take but minutes to formulate a new campaign. SEnuke – I tried that a number of times and I think I also tried out the “X=rated version” because I thought there would be more to it than merely backlinking (hahahaha!) also but as you say – the learning curve was pretty extreme so I dumped it pronto. And when I’ve outsourced SEnuke stuff previously, its gotten a few of my sites “sandboxed” even when I told my outsourcees to drip it over weeks and not merely dump a ton of fresh links on my nice new domain. Obviously in which case its far safer to use such a tool along with the outsourcing to fire off to secondary domains that then link back to the money site, which I am a big fan of doing regardless, as you may imagine (40 day challenge).

I’ve actually been using quite a few of the Teenie Geenie stuff to smack my BMR posts (those BMR posts that are a couple months old or more – since they have already proven stick-a-bility and are on their own individual blog/website page). Sometimes I’m seeing fast return on investment here, albeit quite a bit of dancing, but really – I’m seeing this as being a much longer term investment where the maturer backlinks will kick in over time. So if there is an early boost, then that of course is a bonus, but its incidental rather than the main aim.

So there you go – this is not something I have discussed at all on my blog up till now so the “secret” is now out, LOL! Must be the wine is making me a big mouth ;-)

steve October 10, 2011 at 3:30 am

Hi

Yep ive had issues woth heavy nuking. the support guys say just hit it more but i have 2 sites struggling to come back up but they are.

Well if its the wine fine :-) thanks for sharing. Im going to seriouslytake a look at genie I just want to make sure i can get the value i need from it.

Ibe also been looking at some tools that can do blog comments, social bookmarks and profile links and the volumes per day/month are more inline with some of my needs.

Again to build links on other properties not my money sites. Im into building disconnected openm link wheels (lol) and they are 3 layers deep so its good to have tools to just hit th elayers with links

Im off to sleep now as its 04:30am :-) 7.5 hrs and ill be back at the kwyboard
steve recently posted..Drip Fed Blended Backlinks

Joseph October 10, 2011 at 7:05 am

I tell you what Steve – it would be interesting to see what does happen to those sites you mention you have in SEnukeX. I presume Goog hit them with a penalty, and in which case, are they now no longer penalized? If so, how long did it take before they were rising again in the rankings since they were first hit?

Yes, using tools to whack other web “properties” that link to your main sites is a good way to go since it shields the main site from damage – and these days, its so easy to do damage to the main site in terms of Goog rankings. I’m working on a client’s site that was hit with a penalty – site wide too. It actually did not take long to get back up in search, plus the rankings for other newer kwds rose up really nicely too – something of a surprise, I have to admit, since site-wide penalties can take many weeks or even months to resurrect to any degree. But what I’m now finding is that its sitting doing not a lot and its not achieved any top ten rankings. I’m thinking about smacking my previous links real hard with a ton of bricks to see if that will tease it to move on up.

Hope you had a good rest, and welcome back to the grind!

Brendan from BJJ Gi Reviews January 10, 2012 at 4:07 pm

After a bit of research, I think I’ll be getting this in the near future. I’ve found BMR to be my go-to source for direct backlinks to the site, but once it hits about 200 backlinks, it tends to not give much return on investment.

So now it’s about time to start really getting some high quality backlinks to those BMR posts and 2.0s and this seems to be the way to go. The captcha stuff is annoying, but I much prefer a one-time payment of $70 versus a monthly payment of 30-40 over the course of a year (totalling a few hundred bucks).

Off topic question. Joe, have you had issues with dropping your BMR subscription for a time, and then coming back to find your old posts have disappeared? Also, if you discontinue, do you have to redo everything in the interface when you come back?

Joseph January 11, 2012 at 12:45 am

Brendon, I tend to find that if I change categories in BMR then I can go for much further than 200 posts and its still effective. I’ve been doing upwards of 350 recently and its been working out just fine. Mind you, its wise to start mixing up the backlink type well before you reach that level of postings.

So AMR is now priced at $70? I best change my sales page then. That is, as you say, a very good price in comparison to the vast majority of other article submission tools! You can set up a captcha ‘decoder’ on your AMR to handle the captchas for you. May seem like a bit of a waste of money, but those captchas are a pain in the butt after a while.

Regards dropping the BMR account – no. I once dropped my account for about 4 months, then took it up again and all my links were still there, and everything remains in the interface if you do drop the account.

Brendan January 11, 2012 at 2:49 am

Haha, no Joe. I meant with your discount its 70 ^_^

Thanks for the BMR tip. I’m just not using it enough to warrant paying for it all the time and only barely dripping links through it. When I use it, I want to actually use the thing.
Brendan recently posted..Ronin Brand Gi GIVEAWAY!

Joseph January 11, 2012 at 7:18 am

Brendan, LOL – you got me all confused there cos I did check the current pricing on it. I put it down to you having a beer too many, so no harm done there ;-)

If you’re not using BMR enough, then dump that dude cos its not paying its way. But yeah, your links will remain in place along with your domains etc. so if you do wanna take it up again, you’ll be good to go!

Brendan from BJJ Gi Reviews January 11, 2012 at 5:47 pm

Nice Joseph, thanks for the insight. Do you ever recommend sending AMR links to your homepage as opposed to the surrounding link layer? Like maybe after a certain number of backlinks or domain age, it might be alright to send AMR links there?
Brendan@ BJJ Gi Reviews recently posted..Ronin Brand Gi GIVEAWAY!

Joseph January 11, 2012 at 10:00 pm

The only time I used AMR on my money site Brendan is in the fairly recent hi end Goog ranking project (I have used it previously on my sites, but not to good effect I must add). But I would not usually use it on a money site other than one which already has a mass of backlinks in place. A while ago I used it on a client’s site to very good effect, but the clients site already had over 80k backlinks in place so it was reasonably safe to use AMR to boost up the rankings.

Joseph February 11, 2012 at 12:45 am

Ohhh – I’m happy to try to answer questions about BMR, Brendan, but AMR? I can hardly work the thing, let alone answer questions about it. Good luck with it!

Harrison March 25, 2012 at 10:14 pm

Joseph, how you use AMR today? Since BMR is down, I think to replace it with AMR, do you think this worth it? Do you think that paying fiverr for AMR service is a wise move?

For UAW, I think I only can use it for those web 20 properties that I created. But Monthly 67 is a little bit costly for me for just linking to web20. Do you have any other alternative for web20 backlinking?

Joseph March 25, 2012 at 10:42 pm

Hi Harrison, yes, you can use AMR – simply drip feed your submissions. The only issue with doing that is – although AMR already has a lot of article directories in their “system”, most of the submissions made will not be successful. Thus to control daily submission rates is not easy. Example – you may do a submission run of 500 articles, only to find that 10 have been successful. Then the next day you do another 500 submissions, and find that this time you get 40 successful. Thus the level of control is not so great – not nearly as great as BMR. But its fine for linking to outer tier sites which link to the money site.

With fiverr gigs where AMR is concerned, if you are pointing your submissions to outer tier sites that lead back to your money site, then that’s okay since I think all fiverr gigs that offer AMR simply do one mass submission with no drip feed possible.

Harrison March 25, 2012 at 10:45 pm

I see. What you are saying is correct. How about UAW?

Joseph March 25, 2012 at 11:06 pm

UAW is still a solid performer Harrison. I know there’s been a lot of doom sayers where UAW is concerned, but it keeps doing its thing regardless. There’s another article directory submitter which I’ve yet to use but I’m hearing good things about too – SubmitYourArticles. There are two accounts you can sign up for with this service – $47 a month and $67 a month. I’ve mentioned this service under the Tools of the Trade tab at the top of my header graphic here on the blog, and I’m offering some money back on it like I do with UAW. Heard good things about this service so in due course I’ll be using it myself just to see how things go.

Harrison March 26, 2012 at 5:03 am

Joseph, I just joined the Submityourarticle for 5 days trial. Quite confuse. For $47 package, I believe I can’t use syntax article(rewritten article), right?

Joseph March 26, 2012 at 5:34 am

Hi Harrison, keep in mind that they submit to ezinearticles.com Thus any article that they receive from you will have to be up to the standards that ezinearticles.com accept, which these days is a fairly tall order. Normally when we use content to submit to various article directories manually, we’d submit to ezinearticles first since they don’t accept non-unique content. But I would think if the article is well spun, it should be just fine. I’m not totally sure about the SubmtYourArticle stance on this however since I’ve still to test out the system myself. Give it a shot Harrison whilst you still are on the freebie trial and see how you get on. Let me know, please – thanks!

Harrison March 26, 2012 at 11:25 pm

OMG, SubmitYourContent is just like Ezinearticles and they stop my articles because of readability issues. Too bad. Have to think some ways to get articles for this service.

Joseph March 26, 2012 at 11:52 pm

That is too bad Harrison. You could try something like Backlink Banzai. I’ve used them for a while and its a good service. You only need to pop in your URL’s and your keyword choices (up to 20) and you are good to go! What’s more, you can change your URL’s and your kwds as often as you wish – there’s no limit. Check it out at http://www.backlinkbanzai.com

Hi Jo

I assume your pointing the backlinkbanzai at the anchor layer sites NOT the money site?

Just for clarity… I could be being slow today

Steve

Joseph March 27, 2012 at 12:13 am

In fact Steve, I pointed all my links at my money sites over a period of a month that I was using the tool. But what I did was to swap around the URLs for each site fairly regularly – so let’s say a couple of days focused on the home page and a couple of inner pages on one site, then I’ll swap that over to different pages, then I’ll go back to the original pages and change the keyword phrases over.

After about a week of doing that, I’ll take the site out altogether and put in a different site and do the same sort of thing. I know that most folks tell you to keep your backlinks regular because it looks unnatural to Google, but I’m doing things differently now. I sense that “jumping about” and not being regular with my backlinks is perfectly natural.

steve wyman March 27, 2012 at 12:21 am

Well heres something i was thinking about, earlier whilst watchng the girls go by and drinking coffee in my local Nero coffe shop…

If Google is going to start looking at unnatural link building, where by they are going to look for patterns of links (such as high volumes on a single page site etc) then we should be come unnatural as well!! or better put irregular!

So your idea matches with where id got to. As one possible approach to the problem.

Im also fairly convinced that if the niche is low compettion and not to high a search volume we can stay off the radar as well?

Enough said big brothers listening.

Joseph March 27, 2012 at 12:38 am

Yeah, watch it Steve – the Goog spies are all around us!

Sounds good – sitting enjoying your coffee whilst watching the birds ;-)

I s’pose if the niche is low end then your backlinking will be less “harsh”. So that’s a safer way to progress these days – low hanging “niches”. Recently I set up a site in a very “low hanging” niche and I got a keyword rich domain name. Lo and behold, and the site is now ranking top 5 or so for all variations on the keyword phrases I wanted to target – about 10 in all. How many backlinks? Probably about 10 thus far. These keywords get zilch search in Goog according to Goog, but that’s not the case since I’ve been there before with another website and although traffic is low, conversion is decent (its a CPA offer which pays out 40 bucks a shot, so don’t need many conversions to be making a tidy sum).

Yes, I agree – erratic backlinking makes good sense. Particularly so in smaller niches where some days it would be perfectly normal not to have anyone link to your site, where other days you may get 4 or 5 people linking – bookmarking or Stumbles or whatever.

steve wyman March 27, 2012 at 12:43 am

Ah now that last paragraph nails it. Yes that makes complete sense. Go catch that one mr Google bot (1 finger Vettel style)

And i dont watch Birds just women at my age :-)

Harrison March 27, 2012 at 12:46 am

Thanks for the link, will give that a try.

Joseph March 27, 2012 at 1:07 am

I’m of the line of thinking Steve, that birds can come in all ages. Even my mother is an “old bird”. Lost a few feathers, has to be said, but she’s still a bird. I guess in parts of England, she may be referred to as a “duckie” ;-)

Your a fan of Formula 1 then I take it? You enjoy watching those expensive boxes on expensive wheels go round and round and round and round. Two words spring to my mind – “paint drying”. Its as exciting as watching paint drying. Each to their own however.

Joseph March 27, 2012 at 1:08 am

Wish you well Harrison!

steve wyman March 27, 2012 at 1:09 am
Harrison March 27, 2012 at 1:21 am

Joseph, Did backlinkbanzai provide any reports?

Joseph March 27, 2012 at 1:28 am

Steve – LOL! Here’s the first paragraph…

Philistinism is a derogatory term used to describe a particular attitude or set of values perceived as despising or undervaluing art, beauty, spirituality, or intellectualism. A person with this attitude is referred to as a Philistine and may also be considered materialistic, favoring conventional social values unthinkingly and forms of art that have a cheap and easy appeal (e.g. kitsch).

Now to which were you referring – my thoughts about birds, or my thoughts about expensive boxes on wheels?

If the former, I think birds are very beautiful creatures :-)

Joseph March 27, 2012 at 1:34 am

Harrison, unfortunately its the same old same old here – they refuse to provide reports as to where your backlinks are placed because they want to keep their networks private.

Does that make this system a high PR network similar to BMR? Somehow I doubt that. The guys who set this up are incredibly particular about how their system is run – try joining their affiliate program and you’ll see exactly what I mean. Mind you, I’m just going on gut instinct – I can’t be too sure exactly how they are gaining backlinks because they don’t tell you.

What it comes down to is – what type of backlinks are safe these days? Which backlinks offer the most bang for their buck and which type of backlinks will “probably” last the longest.

I’m afraid there are lots of unanswered questions here, but that’s the nature of the SEO game.

Harrison April 3, 2012 at 10:38 am

Joseph, did you try wiki backlink before?

Joseph April 3, 2012 at 10:47 am

Harrison, no I haven’t. Looked into doing that, but I got the impression it was going to be a lot of work. Worth trying to figure out though, I would imagine, since the link would be awesomely valuable where Goog are concerned!

Brendan April 3, 2012 at 10:51 am

Is wiki backlink a program or a technique? A google search, ironically, yielded no decent info.

Harrison April 3, 2012 at 11:00 am

Hi Brendan. Wiki backlink is wikipedia type of backlinks. I saw there are more and more people offer this type of backlink service.

Joseph April 3, 2012 at 11:06 am

I’d be sure to check out exactly what they are offering Harrison. I can’t believe that gaining an authentic Wiki backlink is nearly as easy as what these services generally make it out to be.

michael April 26, 2012 at 4:48 pm

Joseph,

I always enjoy your insight from the testing you do, but haven’t been to your site in awhile. After I found you via SPI’s usage of your technique for ranking with your backlink strategy, I implemented that on a couple sites with good results.

As far as AMR goes, there is a service called captchasniper that isn’t as good as the others, but works most of the time. Anyway, it only costs $77 and that is a one time fee.

Thanks,

Mike

Joseph April 26, 2012 at 8:42 pm

Hello Michael, welcome back! CaptchaSniper – sounds interesting, and as you say, at a one-off cost of $77, if you do use captcha fairly often, that will be a very good saving. Thanks for sharing that info Michael!

Joseph

Michael April 30, 2012 at 6:44 pm

Hi Joseph!

No problem. I don’t have any affiliation with those guys, but was originally indecisive on the purchase of AMR until I realized that there was this other option out there.

Formerly I used SenukeX and was spending a ton on captcha solving. I got some short term good results, but it was costly. I thought I would have to spend a fortune on captcha with AMR so I stayed away. But when I was able to purchase it in tandem I thought that was a awesome.

I’m thinking of getting UAW and using it to build links to my anchor sites. The argument I’ve heard is that UAW gets you articles to sites with better staying power and they have bloggers that also pick up your articles. So that would be a better link variety and longer staying power. Do you have any thoughts on that? BS or good point?

Brendan April 30, 2012 at 7:07 pm

I spent about 30 bucks on captcha for AMR before I decided to try running it without paying for it. I still get about 400 accepted articles per submission. Granted, they aren’t as high quality as ones that are on captcha-protected sites, but my thought is that instead of wasting money on captchas, I just spent that time and money submitting more articles.

You can totally run it without it.

Joseph April 30, 2012 at 9:39 pm

Hi Michael, I did find that occasionally when using AMR that some of the time the bio box is stripped out of your submission by the article directory owner. In other words, its blatant copyright abuse.

I suspect you are right about this – UAW submissions on the whole will be a little higher quality. I think with AMR its much more a case of quantity over quality, but UAW its different.
