As many of our readers may probably know we created and run the ArticleRanks network. So this review is actually more of an insight into the service.

How it Works

The system is a syndication network people plug their sites into the system to receive free unique content, article marketers and SEO’s then create highly spun articles which get published onto these sites in return giving you get contextual and editorial links while keeping in the guidelines of Google. In the end you are giving webmasters content they are requesting in return for a link.

There are 3 ways to use the ArticleRanks service
1) Use it for free.. You can join and use the site for free, you WILL need to earn credits this can be done by adding sites with PR into the system or adding account details for social sites.
2) The pay as you use method. This is the best choice if you are only planning to submit a couple of articles into the system per month. It would cost 2 credits to submit an article so that is $4
3) The monthly membership. This gives you unlimited submissions per month for $39. Monthly membership also has a lot of other benefits which are explained below.

Why Choose ArticleRanks.com over other services such as AMA or UAW?

We have always said that if you have the budget then joining multiple services is the best option simply because you get more links and more link diversity. On the other hand if you only have a small budget and can only afford one service then ArticleRanks eats up the competition.
- ArticleRanks has an algothirm that makes link building look natural and helps prevent spam
- AR is the lowest price service around and you can a lot for what you pay for
- AR currently has many thousands of sites in the system and this number grows daily
- AR has its own spinning tool which will help you spin articles
- We created AR as a high quality network, not to earn revenue. But to use it both for our personal sites and for clients. A lot of the other networks are created by developers who do not even use the service themselves.
- Because we reward users for adding sites to the system with high PR, we have a much higher quality network
- Much much more

Currently a lot of the other networks are experiencing very high levels of spam, including category spam and link spam. The reason behind this is because
1) There is no technology in place to help detect or prevent spam. AR now has a blacklist and whitelist for spam control
2) Category spam is huge in other networks; we have taken serious measures to stop category spam.

Case Study

We have been using AR from the day the doors first opened in July 2009. In 2009 the system worked well, but as the network has got stronger rankings for ourselves and members of the system has exponentially increased. Below are results from actual users as they have reported.

“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.”

“I have been using AR for the last few months and have seen not only good results for page rank and backlinks but they also help generate traffic. I would to hear your views on this.”

Ranking: Overall we give ourselves and AR a 9.5/10

SEO Link Vine is an article marketing software package brought to you by Brad Callen, the same well-known Internet marketer responsible for other popular pieces of software like Keyword Elite and PPC Web Spy. SEO Link Vine takes the concept of automated article marketing and adds several powerful features that allegedly give users a competitive advantage in the article submission wars. There are tons of positive reviews of this software on the internet, don’t but does it truly live up to the hype?

What sets SEO Link Apart from other Article Marketing Systems?

The major difference between SEO Link Vine and its competitors is the ability for users to control the speed at which their back links are generated. This is a process called drip feeding. The software uses drip feeding in order to prevent back links from being generated too quickly, as this causes a red flag for search engines which could result in the submitter being banned as a spammer. With SEO Link Vine individual users can determine how many back links they want generated on a daily basis.

For SEO newbie’s, the software contains nearly 100 training resources, including videos, to help them understand the art of search engine optimisation (SEO). Each user can train at their own pace and learn the system as quickly as they’re able to comprehend. The extensive training SEO Link Vine offers is one of the aspects that allow it to lay claim as a better alternative than its competitors.

The SEO Link Vine Autopilot

The software offers a unique feature referred to as the Autopilot. With the Autopilot, users can simply submit one article with three relevant back links, set the parameters for how quickly they want links generated, and then let system go to work. If your content is suitable for spinning, the software will do it automatically and as frequently as you request. A well-written article with high spin potential could theoretically be rewritten on a daily basis and resubmitted again and again. This method of building back links means you go from having none to having thousands in a relatively short amount of time.

Be Careful of Statistics Claimed by Reviewers

It doesn’t matter what SEO marketing company you want to talk about, or what new system or piece of software is being reviewed, statistics are incredibly misleading because they’re very hard to verify. Reviewers can make up numbers, write user testimonials, and even create screen shots that show unbelievably successful results. That’s not to say that reviewers of SEO Link Vine have used these practices, but simply to say that a little suspicion is a good thing.

The only real way to know whether SEO Link Vine is worth your time and money is to join as a free member and then contact the other members who place their content on your site. Ask their opinion of the program. An honest assessment from them will go a long way in helping you decide whether SEO Link Vine is right for you. That being said, Mr. Callen is realizing a great deal of personal success with this software, so it’s obviously doing something for someone.

The Cost

Brad Callen is now selling his software, along with what he terms an “Elite Membership”, for US $67.00. With the Elite Membership there is no longer any need to buy additional credits, although for the purposes of this review we couldn’t find any detailed information about SEO Link Vine’s credit buying terms. For a short time, a limited number of free lifetime memberships were being given away, but that seems to have ended for now. If it helps ease the mind of potential new buyers, the software does come with a 56-day money back guarantee.

So let’s get down to the nitty and gritty to see if this system is really what it’s cracked up to be

Articles on Demand Feature

One unique feature that SEOlinkvine has in its arsenal is the Articles on Demand feature. Basically there is a market place on the site where webmasters post the content that they need for their site. So in turn its more like guest blogging. So we gave this part of the system a whirl and come to this conclusion.

- We took hours writing 3 unique articles on the topics that the webmaster specified
- We then went to publish on these sites for the sites to be no longer available in the system
- If the sites WERE available this identical site was also available in the main blog network, so why the need to write a unique article? When your spun articles would go to that anway

If done correctly this could have been a very powerful feature of SEOLV, as this is where you could have went to get the higher quality links.

We tried SEO Link Vine for ourselves.

We thought we would give SEO Link Vine a try with a couple of articles we wrote specifically for a fairly competitive keyword for a site we have in the home improvement niche. The idea was to see just how long (if at all) it would take us to rank this keyword using just these articles in SEO Link Vine.

About four weeks after our initial submission, we still found no discernable change in our rankings in Google. We waited another month, but the site had only risen two places for that keyword (going from position 16 on page two, to position fourteen.

We decided to investigate further and to our surprise, the articles we submitted had only been published on ten websites/blogs! Another month down the line and the submission had stretched to eighteen sites and blogs, while our site had risen another spot in the rankings.

Our conclusions from this test are the following: the publishing rates of SEO Link Vine are so slow that it would take at least six months just to get an article submitted to about 30-40 sites. When you compare this to other services, this is very bad. Because of this, therefore, we were unable to rank our site for the keyword we wanted during the test period.

Final Thoughts

SEOlinkvine claim to have one of the largest networks around, but the article statistics as above really do not reflect that, BUT SEOLV is another source to get them backlinks that you really need. If you do have the budget we would recommend joining this network simply because you are tapping into another blog network so you get even more IP diversity.

Is it worth $67? Well that all depends on your personal circumstances.

Ranking: Overall we give SEOLV a 4.5/10

If you’re a web entrepreneur, let me ask you a question. Is article marketing part of your overall marketing strategy? If not, it should be. While article marketing is not the one simple and easy way to turn your website into the golden goose, it is an effective part of overall marketing strategy, designed to drive traffic to your website and increase your sales. My Article Network is an article submission service which helps make the task of article marketing much more manageable and efficient.

My Article Network (MAN) is very similar to other services like SEO Link Vine, Unique Article Wizard (UAW) and Article Marketing Automation (AMA) (if you are already using Article Marketing Automation then you will notice a very similar interface. This is because MAN is a whitelabel of AMA, so you only need be sign up with one of these services as they both use the same database to distribute to).

In a nutshell, users of these services provide content articles, usually around 300 words or so, which the service then submits to a given number of blogs or other websites that are part of its network. As those articles are published and republished, they generate links back to the original writer’s website which in turn, theoretically drives up web traffic.

How My Article Network Works

MAN basically has two components. First, members can sign up to only receive Web content from other writers that they can place on their own blogs. As articles are submitted for your review you can either accept or reject each one; you can also set the system to automatically reject articles that don’t meet a certain threshold of uniqueness, for example. This is a good option if you’re looking only for content that is for the most part unique.

In the second tier of service you can not only receive content but also begin submitting articles of your own. Obviously, the more work you put into submitting the articles, the more back links will be generated to your site. However, one of the things to remember is that quality matters. Because MAN is automated, it spits out spun articles to all the blogs and websites registered in its network, regardless of the quality of those sites. Although you can’t avoid having your work published on low-quality sites entirely, you can mitigate some of the downsides by producing high quality writing yourself.

My Article Network Allows Spinning

One of the tricks of the trade in article marketing is to spin an article so that a unique copy is submitted each time. Spinning is the process by which you take existing words/sentences/paragraphs and replace these with new words/sentences/paragraphs that actually mean the same thing. MAN provides a wizard to help you with this process.

Although the process of spinning text nowadays is widespread, the results of the spinning can range from perfect to downright unreadable. The English language can be complex, so undertaking the spinning of particular text should only be done if the person spinning the text has a very good grasp of oral and written English. Otherwise, as stated above, the results can end up being, well, alarming at best. A badly spun article will ultimately mean the article is rejected from the system; too many rejections could even mean a suspended account!

The MAN Network

The MAN network is pretty sizable; they claim 10,000 blogs and websites currently participating. If you know anything about generating web traffic then you know that 10,000 is a good number. Does this mean your articles will appear on all 10,000 sites? Obviously not. But if your articles appear on 100 of those sites, and just 20 to 30% of them belong to different C class IP addresses, you can get a great diversity of inbound links pointing back to your site. The size of the network, therefore, does matter.

One of the best aspects of MAN’s network is that individual users can limit the number of times a specific article can be published. While most Internet marketers don’t see a need to limit that number, some of us prefer to do so in order to maintain high quality. The more times an article is published, the more the quality tends to diminish. Even though Web articles are usually published anonymously, some of us care about our quality and don’t want to see it ruined.

At the end of the day the question remains, is MAN the right article submission service for you? There’s no way to really answer that question without giving it a try. You might ask questions of others in the network, and you might sign up on a trial basis to see whether or not it really works for you. If it helps, I’ll close this review with a case study we did.

We tested My Article Network on a website we own that focuses on a specific health niche. Although the site was coming up to a year old, no work had been done to it in an SEO sense so it wasn’t ranking anywhere in the top five pages of the Google SERP’s.

The test was to write an article for the site, submit it to MAN and see what happened. The main focus was on a specific long tail keyword we were interested in ranking, so we focussed on this and submitted – we gave the test a two month window. The results, when they came through, were extremely interesting.

After just two weeks from the submission date, our website moved onto the first page of Google (specifically to position nine) for the term we were targeting. By the time a month had passed the site was up to position six, having yoyo’d for a week or two between positions seven and fourteen. After two months we were pleasantly surprised to see the site ranking at number three in Google for the long tail keyword we were targeting.

Needless to say we are going to carry on pushing this site using My Article network!

Ranking: Overall we give MAN a 6/10
