Rank builder 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.
- Profiles Link builder- smooth, fast, flew right through the de-captchas, worked well
- RSS submissions – worked flawlessly
- Web 2.0 account creations – only 1 out of 50 account creations failed, pretty good
- Email verifications- didn’t work
- Web 2.0 content submissions – didn’t work all failed, perhaps due to not using a catch-all email address
- Spinner – handles big-time spinning double-nested spinning, works well with the Best Spinner.
Downsides that should be fixed:
Still gotta babysit this tool, same as SE Nuke and push it form one module to the next, no biggie nothing’s perfect
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

I use Rank Builder, the consensus here is correct. It is not very good software and they charge a monthly fee.
However, the tool they provide does create Web 2.0 sites for me. They do create and host RSS feeds for me. Their ancillary tools, profile link creator, social book marker, article submitter, are terrible and useless.
Question:
Is there any decent desk top software available for creating Web 2.0′s.
Any software to create – and temp.host RSS feeds so I can submit them to agregators. Also, Rank builder has a feature that auto sends my links to ping.fm – any sw to do this?
In short Rank builder is not so great – but what are the alternatives?
You can get Senuke for $20/mo at a certain Blackhat forum (I think the owner/programmer runs it) but I haven’t had experience with it.
I mean Rankbuilder creates web 2.0 sites and submits to them with a decent % of success for me, but I don’t like having to watch an “automation” tool to make sure nothing screws up.
Either outsource or do it manually, or deal with the software we have available for now.
I really think you hit the nail on the head here.
I tried the software for three months and could not get it to work right I was so hopeful I kept hanging on and finally today I let it go.
Thanks for the tip and saving me more time.
I think I’m going with sick submitter, although there is a learning curve.
Thank you this has been a really great honest review! I was going to sign up and this has saved me a lot of frustration
Jackie, thanks for stopping by….
This is one tool I’ll not be re-testing or re-reviewing since the customer support is so shoddy, and it seems like it’s a guru-driven money-grab tool to me
Rank Builder is not worth testing. I used it for quite a while. It really is not so great. Just get SENUKE for web 2.0s.
Wow, I wish I had found this article about 8 hours ago. I bought Rankbuilder and have already had some weird problems. Thanks for the info.
