The Policy here

in SEO Tips and Articles

Just wanted to let anyone and everyone know that sometimes there’s things I recommend on this blog, but they’re not always affiliate links.

Reasons for this:

1- If something’s being sold elsewhere for  a lower price, and I am aware of this, I’m not going to promote it or recommend it for full price here on this site.

2- I’ve never been a fan of one-time fee tools, because they ALL eventually become useless, not that I think products like Article Marketing Robot will turn out that way, not in near future.  Link Farm Evolution + AutoPligg are 2 examples of products gone to crap.

Anyhow, just letting you know this in case you’re wondering why I’m not allowing myself to get compensated for my reviews and testing and subsequent recommendations for some products.

It’s not always about the money.

Sometimes, it’s (gasp) about YOU!

So… did something happen, Dan? :)

I never promote WSOs, or items that are available elsewhere, so I wrote this to pre-answer some questions and to head off all the requests from people who actually go out of their way to ask for my aff links( How nice is that? So humbling)

So the least I could do in return, is make sure they/you/we are directed towards the best offer. Also, since the WF sucks so bad now in so many different ways, I would be doing being a disservice sending people there… so it’s tough for me to send people elsewhere…

But hey., if an SEO Tool is worth getting, then what should I do?

We’re all adults here and I can’t be over-protective of “my readership”

Hey Dan,

Found your website few days ago, and I absolutely love it. The reviews are just awesome, I appreciate your honesty regarding all the services.

I got a question for you. Have you ever used Article Marketing Automation? I can see lots of reviews for many services here, but can’t find anything about AMA?

What are your thoughts about it?

Steven

I’m a different Dan but I saw this question and thought I would answer it for you.

Article Marketing Automation is the exact same network as “My Article Network” which is no longer recommended by Dan The Man.

Well, I for one would like to pay you back for the excellent advice I had been getting from your site in the past couple of days.

I want to sign up for your recommendations on good link building networks etc and will do so through links on your site which hopefully has your affiliate info in them.

Just ironically, I found your site through WF when I went there looking for opinions on some of the link building services I am currently using that I wasn’t happy with.

Keep well,
Christine

Any chance you could review Synnd and Backlinks Genie (check WickedFire) in the future?

Daniel McGonagle September 30, 2010 at 5:34 pm

Syndd I’ll probably never publicly review since it seems like paying a whole LOT to get very little seo benefit.

BacklinksGenie looks OK, but once again, its another confusing sales letter, do we get 9k blog comments plus all the other stuff, or just pick a certain # of links to get a month. I might check it out next month

Hi Dan,

The fact you are willing to review and discuss realistic pros & cons products and services you are not promoting for yourself make you and this site one of the better and IM-related sites.

Thanks for all you do!

Jim

Well I’ve been following you for a while now Dan and I’ve never seen you promote crap and I’ve always used your affiliate link for all of the link building tools that you do promote.

Please do continue what you are doing here. I have several top 10 rankings using only the tools that you have recommended. Much appreciate your work!

I Agree.

one-time fee tools will become crap.
