Build My Rank latest and greatest test

I did another review and test of Build My Rank again, this time I went over what the case study would be with Build My Rank owner, and outsourced everything to BMR’s staff for $2.00/credit, which is tantamount to $2.00/link.

The reason we did things this way is to:

• make sure we’re using writers who know the BMR system inside and out,
• have articles written that will get 100% approvals
• to ensure that the case study is a fair and valid test of the service’s effectiveness

The Build My Rank pure test, Part 2

3 sites, on aged domains at least 1 year old, some were 4 years old.

Site 1- Website is trying to rank for a celebrity name, whilst not having anything to do with that celebrity.

Competition is the movie site IMDB.com, a celebrity fan site, a music download site and some other “authority” sites…

Current ranking pre-BMR: #7/8, Page 1

We’re sending 40 BMR snippets/links to this

Is this a fair test?  Yes, we both thought so, since domain we’re working on has KWs in the domain, site is aged, is already page 1, has existing links to it, and momentum.

Also, if BMR links are powerful, then even rising 2 spots up page 1 one with impressive,since it’s a well-known fact that rising up page 1 for SERPs is harder than getting to page 1 in the first place.

After 30 days:  please be patient, bookmark this url, and note the day on which this post was made

Site 2- aged domain, currently ranked page 2, #11-14 overall for a 3 word keyphrase

Competition isn’t super-tough, therefore I think that 40 BMR snippets should get this site not just to page 1, but to page 1, #4 or 5 overall.

Is this a fair test?  We think so, because competition isn’t that tough, #1 ranking is unattainable with just 40 links, and domain in question here doesn’t have all 3 keywords in the domain, so a good test, we think.

Site 3- I have a 1 1/2 year old domain with very few links to it, whose main url dropped out of the SERPs a few months ago when lots of sites got slapped for whatever reason.

Domain has 4 keywords in it, so we’re generating:

• 10 BMRs for long -tail 4 keyword phrase (ranked # 262 now, I expect 10 links to get it back to top 4)
• 20 for 3 keyword phrase (not ranked)
• 20 for another 3 keyword phrase (not ranked at all, disappeared)
• 50 for 2 keyword phrase (currently ranked #416)
• 90 for tougher 2 keyword phrase (not ranked)

Is this a fair test?  Yes, because I had an older, yet similar themed and optimized site which rebounded form nowhere rankings-land to #2 and #4 for same 3 kw phrase being tested here, and the 2, 2 kw phrases are ranked page 3 and page 5 (and rising thanks to LinxBoss).

Both of these similarly themed sites got bounced out of the SERPs a few months ago, and since new backlinks got the “other” site back on top quickly, then this site should do the same, especially with BMR’s allegedly powerful links.

It will take 30 days before I can come back and update this post with the results, so here’s a few more things you should know about Build My Rank in the meantime:

1. They don’t accept spun content per se, but very well-spun content that reads well will get accepted, but only IF it’s so well-spun it doesn’t even seem like spun content.  BMR Admin is more concerned about the quality of his network and service than he is with pleasing people by delivering 100s of links that devalue his network/service.
2. The network is, indeed a high PR network, but your articles won’t gain PR from Page Rank passing down from these domains towards your articles.  The network is 750 high Page Rank domains/sites spread out over 250 IP addresses.
3. BMR content is achieving close to 100% indexing rate, and they go to some extra effort of the back end of things to ensure that all content gets indexed.  as was aforementioned, he cares about his network, and getting every single one of his sites’ urls indexed means its not gonna be like Blog Blueprint, where 15-50 posts get published to a site daily, then get indexed as your post get pushed off the home page.
4. The pricing model was seem weird or confusing at first, but suffice to say,you can still get it for 59/month once you’re an existing member, via free trial or whatever.  The owner has hinted at future price increases or plan changes; he might raise price to 99/month which I begged him not to do because it will become another LinkVana again, ie. a service that costs a lot time-wise and money-wise to use, but I have no control over that.
5. Last, but not least… I am providing an affiliate link below because I’ve heard good things from other knowledgeable marketers about Build My Rank, and since they have a free trial offer, there’s no sacrificing of integrity on my part if I show you an affiliate link whilst still being undecided on how or where I would rank this service (thumbs-up, thumbs-down, top 4? etc…)

Continued updates… Day 1 or 2 of articles/links going live:

Site 1- Ranked #6 on page 1 (up from 7/8)

Site 2- Ranked #9 on page 1 (up from top of page 2, #12 overall on average)

One week later…

Site 1- same as before

Site 2- #10, did a dance, needs more links and time…to rise up

Site 3-

Amazing results a little over one month later:

Site 1 – Page 1 #6 for competitive term (up against a celbrrity name here)

Site 2- Page 1, #6, and it’s exactly wher eI expected BMR to put this site, rankings-wise

At the risk of boring you to death with site details, I still want to let you know how much went on behind the scenes for this test especially with site #3.

Site #3 is in home business niche, had only 85 backlinks to the home page according to Yahoo Site Explorer before we did the test.  I had a similarly themed and optimized website on the same webhosting IP address and some SEO theoreticians say that it can interfere with both sites’ rankings if they vying for rankings for the same competitive terms yet reside in same “location: ie, IP address.  So as part of this test I moved one of the sites to a different web host and IP address just to make sure this “theory” didn’t affect the testing we’re doing here.

Site 3, url #3

Page 1, #4 and #5  for TWO medium comp. 3 keyword phrases

Page 1 for long tail keyphrase with 150 million results in Google, but is a long tail phrase in my opinion.

Page 3  for an extremely competitive, generic make money form home kind of term, not bad considering this is almost as hard to rank for as the “make money online” term…

TEST IS OVER…  Ranked Page 1 for everything but the most extremely competitive terms

I HIGHLY recommend this service and have rated it the #2 best service to use right now, the links are still coming in from the test, we’re seeing lots of surprising movement in the SERPs for even the harder terms tested, and seeing myself on page 3 for an extremely competitive 2 word term impressed me enough to deem it worthy of a #2 ranking as far as recommended services to use…

Last update and brief soliloquy: You hear people talking about quality of links versus quantity, well that’s kind of hard to test so all I can say is that these a quality links in effect and source, meaning they’re quality links for the only reason that matters to me: they increase rankings, but they’re also quality links because they’re using 100% unique content and links come from high quality network with good sites.

These test we did was pretty comprehensive, we spent 500 dollars on it, and moving forward I’ll be doing spot-checks of this service form time to time, but will be using it for more business-related reasons soon not just for testing purposes.  In other words, I’ll be using this as part of the firepower available to me, and used by me, when I wanna throw everything I got towards ranking a term.

Also, people worry about overly aggressive link building and “sandboxes” but also want to see results quickly, Build My Rank is a way to do the “slow and steady wins the race” thing, however, results and rankings increases won’t be slow just your link build up.

October 5, 2010:  Ongoing testing (since this is a service I’ll be relying on more and more in the future)

URL 1- #5, Page 1 for competitive term, no links to it now on active basis – 20 BMRs

URL 2- #19, or bottom of page 2, minimal linking to it now

URL 3 – from previous test, we got a url dancing around on Page 1, between #4 and 8, so we’ll send some more BMRs (10) to shore things up a bit…
