I’ve decided to stay with UAW and dump Synnd. After finally wrapping my head around how UAW works, I see how I can get the most out of my UAW submissions with a little work. Your strategy now makes perfect sense to me.

Thanks for you help…I’ll be re-tweeting your UAW strategy.

I mentioned in this post here how to avoid the UAW footprint, hope it helps if you continue using UAW http://linkvanareviews.com/is-unique-article-wizard-still-effective

I will probably test Syndd sometime within the next few months, but as things stand right now I don’t have a use for it. Social media site promotion is best done on personal basis, and the value to social media-generated backlinks in the short-term isn’t the social bookmarking links but the direct traffic it generates.

Thanks for maintaining such a great blog. I’ve found your advice to be invaluable.

I see it’s been a while since you last commented on this post. Is the Backlink Solutions/UAW combo still viable?

I definitely plan to sign up for Backlink Solutions this week. But I’m on the fence about UAW. Right now I’m using UAW under a special trial offer. So, I’m not able to report any results yet. I’m also using another service called Synnd (have you heard of it – http://www.socialmediascience.com/). I’m using it under a 14-day trial as well.

Both Synnd and UAW carry the same $67/month price tag. I have my reasons for wanting to keep both as well as reasons for wanting to get rid of one or the other while using it along with Backlink Solutions.

For instance, I like that Synnd uses a software to automate the bookmarking and syndication of content for every campaign you enter into the system. On the other hand, I find the long-standing reputation of UAW attractive but am a bit concerned about the footprint left by spun content.

In my mind, I’m thinking if Synnd produces the same results as UAW, then I’ll keep it as it requires far less work than UAW. However, if the opposite is true, then I’ll stay with UAW and work it according to the strategy you’ve outlined above. It clearly requires more effort than Synnd, but if it produces better results in the end then it’s worth it for sure.

If you’ve had any experience with Synnd or at least an educated opinion, I was hoping you could shed some light on it as well.

Thanks,
Paul

Right now, I’m bogged down with testing TrackBack spider, Linkfarm Evolution and YACG, so it might be a while before I get to it

Dupe/PLR content won’t get through BackLink Solution’s filter though.

Both of these services provide spinners for a reason, so your backlinks are more effective when deemed as semi-unique, so it’s not like you can buy 50 PLR articles and submit them to UAW,BLS, Linkvana, My Article Network etc…. and expect the results to be good.

It’s all about the links…

Put the PLR on your site, and write/rewrite articles for the syndication services, if anything.

Thanks,

Dan

I tested My Article Network for the term “blog writing tips” which I didn’t think was too competitive, and not really important to my business model. I started getting links to it 2 weeks after it reached it’s settling point at the bottom of page2 to see if “MAN” would get that url to page 1. After about 30 backlinks to that one url, it’s risen to the top of page 2, so it did work, but I am not “WOW’ed” by the increase… then again on page one for that term is problogger.net so maybe there is some stiff SEO competition, who knows.

Once it reaches page 1, I will see how competitive that term was and what it took for My Article Network to get it there (how many backlinks…).

MAN is a clone of AMA and they reputedly have combined their networks for faster and more widespread syndication.

MAN’s OK and I’m recommending it, but I think Unique Article Wizard might be better. It takes me a while to do the testing via submissions and to split test the effects of the services.

Thing is, it’s kinda irritating to me in a way to do all this testing when I could just use Backlink Solutions to get my post urls where I want them to be ranked…

I wish I could definitively tell you that BLS will take you form page 2 to page 1 in 3 weeks, but without knowing the terms, how many backlinks your site and url currently has, and what your on-page SEO is like, and what your competitors are doing or have done, there’s no real way for me to give you an answer on that.

I recommend My Article Network because it works, but if Unique Article Wizard proves out better, then I’ll recommend that service as the article syndication service to use.

Regarding blurbs, snippets, and spins…

It helps me seperate the services I use by associating certain terms with each one.

For LinkVana, you need to write 100-word mini-articles, or blurbs, to submit to their network. For each backlink you want generated you have to write 1 100-word “blurb” and submit it to get 1 backlink.

BackLink Solutions requires 60-word snippets to be written so they can have some unique info from you to submit to the network of blogs. However, these snippets can be spun and can include 3 different urls, the titles can be spun, as well as the content. I think that’s pretty awesome since the content required for a snippet is so minimal (60 words) you can devote a little more time to spinning these snippets so they’re more effective.

Any articles I write that get spun and submitted to My Article Network are called “MANs” by me, and the same thing goes for Unique Article Wizard (article submitted and spun are called UAWs)

Please respond with any further questions you might have.

Thanks,

Dan

Will backlinksolutions.com accept an unaltered PLR article?

There were several mentions of submitting blurbs to backlinksolutions.com. Can anyone tell me what a blurb is? How many words long is a blurb?

What is the difference between myarticlenetwork.com and articlemarketingautomation.com? I did not get that many sites to accept my article when I used articlemarketingautomation.com. Can the same be said about myarticlenetwork.com?
