I'm a member of BMR, but I'm thinking to close my account.
The service is great, but I'm not an English native speaking and outsourcing costs too mutch.
I've seen that memberships are closed, and I'd like to give my membership to anyone who will buy it through my affiliate link.
PM me for details.

I have had a few months of use with three of my domains, one being a micro niche site which is brand new, and the other two authority sites that i am ranking for several keywords. BMR is a great way to build links to sites with some age on them already. Id say at least 6 months or more.

Get your site indexed and ranked, however low it may be, then start building links to it. BMR should also be part of a larger link plan, not the only thing you use. It is, however, a great service that I have felt great results from.

I have ranked page 1 for numerous 4+ word phrases in google for my main authority site with about 10 link snippets for each phrase. I use about 10-30 articles for low/medium keywords, about 30-60 for medium, and 100+ for high competition.

I can write about 10 articles in about 20 minutes so the writing part is not a problem for me. All they want is uniquely written content, not new content that the world as never heard of before.

My links for the previous months are all fully indexed by google so 100% index rate. Right now for January its about 85%, but I have several articles pending for distribution that is counted toward that 85%, so its more like 95-97% overall. Really though the index rate is not something that you should think about. Just make sure your site has settled in rankings, where ever that may be, or at least has some age on it, like I said 6 or more months I have found is ideal, then start submitting.

Hope this helps anyone confused about how best to use it

I've been using buildmyrank.com for 2 weeks now and am VERY happy with the system! I'm getting some solid links!!

i am thinking about closing my BMr account because of repeated content rejection issues.i am outsourcing articles from my writer who writes for my blogs,and he never had any article rejected from ezine or any other services.I even use him for guest posting for my PAD partners.
IN short,i believe its their ploy to get ppl to sign up for their 2.5 $ / article writing service.
other than that,,,its a best service you can get.

atrbiz

I've never had an article rejected...so I don't think their is a ploy to force people to pay them for articles. You just have to submit unique quality articles.

lukemeister

I've had the same thing but it comes down to what the writer submits - some of the lazy writers I've hired couldn't even finish out a batch of posts because they couldn't figure out how to write 20+ posts without writing the same thing over and over again

On the other hand, I've had writers that write good unique content and can submit 100 posts without any issues

It's not a ploy to get people to buy posts from BMR

Thanks for sharing your experiences guys.

TigerUK

I've just joined up, had a backlog of articles that I never got round to submitting (after eza went down the pan, I didn't bother posting on there any more).

Hopefully this will be useful and effective.

Azlan.MY

BTW, Build My Rank is down for several hours today. I hope they will settle this soon, I need to submit new snippets for my websites.

TigerUK

its been fixed for a while, get the firefox flush dns plugin, and flush it.

I've submitted my 10 links but hungry to submit some more, approval seems to be quite slow.

If the links get indexed and I get a chance to gauge the quality of the blogs, I'd be happy to buy the subscription and use this.

stanl1234

My two cents worth,

This is a very good program. It is a membership. You have the option of writing your own posts or outsourcing at $2.50 a link. The owners really did a good job putting this one together. You will see a boost in rankings with Build My Rank.

I got 300 150 word posts on freelancer.com for $150. I've also seen jobs awarded for .75c per post too. Definately worth shopping around if you're thinking of outsourcing your posts because you can get them a LOT cheaper than from BMR direct.

TigerUK

it's very difficult to make out whether this service is good or not based on reading the reviews on here.

I've joined up, but I'm not sure whether this is actually any good or a complete waste of time.

I'm currently looking for a writer to outsource the article writing,

I'll post a review after trying out this service for a month or so.

Part of the problem with reading reviews by other people on the internet is that you have no idea where the review is coming come. You could get a review from a complete noob whose making pocket money from seo, who moves up from #19 to #17 on a 4 word keyword, and rave about the service.

But on the other hand you could have an experience veteran, whose making 5 figures a month, who'll tell you this service is a complete waste of time and money.

You can only take these reviews at face value, because you dont really know about someones background.

atrbiz

Bottom line - I've been using BMR for 2 months now on my own sites and clients sites and I've seen great results!!! All my keywords (which are competitive) have had a strong boost in rankings. They do not accept junk/spun articles, only unique quality articles. I'd definitely give it a try, I'm a happy client of BMR for sure! And the price is more than reasonable!

Kelvin12

I joined about 4 days ago, and I have already seen some improvement in rankings in Bing for a competitive keyword (one-word). I think it's worth noting that my site is 8 months old with 80+ pages. Maybe that helps a little (a not-so-new domain).

Focused Action

I think BMR allows 10 posts (max 3 links requiring 450 word article) - so total of 900 links per month. At $59/month seems like a great deal if you write all the articles. If you use their writers at $2.50 per 150 word article (1 link), well u r looking at over $2,000 to get 900 links (this is to maximize the number of links they allow per month, certainly don't have to do that many).

Linxboss costs $147/month and permits 1,000 links per month (spread between up to 5 domains - same as BMR). You just submit url's & anchor text and they insert in to their own unique content and post.

Anybody ever compared the results of these 2 services??

mattlaclear

If you need to write an original article for each single backlink you get wouldn't you be better off posting the article on a squidoo lens or something like that? I asked the folks on their help desk this question in middle of a back and forth with them and have not heard back from them with their answer. So in essense the way it is they are getting paid and getting your original content. I was bummed out because I am always looking for new sources of links juice. Glad to see so many warriors liking their service though.

FivestarHB

I have used BMR for amonth, and have been very pleased with the service. Mostly PR2 and 3 links. One PR6 link which is pretty cool.

One question I have is if the link is on the home page for about a week and G sees the (say) PR4 and gives your site a good boost. One week later, your article has dropped back to page 2 which as zero PR. Is there any ongoing value here?

ryanjm

^Yes, there is. We've put over 1,000 posts into the BMR system, and our overall opinion is that the posts work well for the first 10-15 per domain, but after that they seem to have very little effect. Not sure why. But rankings never dropped upon the post going to the inner pages.

arttse

I assume these blogs will have lots of outbound links pointing to money/affiliate sites. Google will de-value a backlink from a site with lots of outbound links pointing to money/affiliate sites. Have a look at the recent Panda update. So what's the point in using this service?

If I was using this service I would not be promoting it and encouraging others to join - for the reasons stated above.

Kelvin12

The main keyword I am promoting has gained 23 spots on Bing ! Quite impressive. I got an email last week from Jon Leger talking about how to get high rankings on Bing, and he mentioned 'editorial links', which is just what BMR provides !

I have 6 live blurbs (which I write myself) and so far the PR distribution has been 2 PR 4's, 2 PR 2's and 2 PR 1's.

mytoy78

Hi there,

I've been using for a few days now. I can assure you that they don't use aff lniks or even adsense on their blogs.

Just a thought.

Best regards

maidmarion

Sounds like a good deal, as long as the links stays! If you can write or outsource it cheaply, may be a better option!

Kelvin12

Site still rising, on Google too ! Up 382 spots on G.

TigerUK

the problem with BMR is that it leaves a footprint, all the sites use the same directory structure.

DonDavis

^ what he said...

ppaamm

It doesn't matter if they don't use aff links or adsense. The point is that all their outbound links (and lots of them for each blog) point to affiliate sites and this might be a problem with Google, specially after the Panda update. I'm a little concerned about that

visimedia

I think thiss service (BMR) is cool, just give it a try you'll soon notice that it's really cool. Don't expect to soon result, but see it like 1-2 weeks ,3 week after backlink submission will be better.

Since their article is manually reviewed, you'll really need to write original articles all the time with limited to 10 backlinks submission per domain per day.

No spun articles accepted.

balric

I am trying them out right now. I have not seen a big improvement in rankings yet but I will be sticking around a couple more months to see if it just takes a little longer. My bing ranking after definitely up but I am doing a lot of different link building for my sites so it is hard to say if it is bmr or not.
It is a pain to write this many new post all the time. It takes me about 2 hours per day to get done. I am a little disappointed that about 2/3 of the posts are going on pr 2 or pr 1 sites. I got one pr 5 and that was during the trial.

Vlad Shelest

Isn't it funny, I've had exact same experience with my membership..

No results yet either, but lik balric, I'll stick around for a little while to see what happens.

Vlad

CleanMountainLiving

What does this mean?

If I use BMR to build like 5-10 links per site that I own...is there any real harm or danger in footprints.

I wouldn't be using it to build hundreds of links per site, just a few, to add to the foundation....

ebizman

BMR rocks!

bogdan247

I just signed up for BMR and the results are impressive so far. I got listed on the fourth position for a hot trend. Now I am waiting to see the what happens when the links fall from the homepages.

nysportsworld

you must keep posting to BMR bogdan427 one post falls but new post kicks in to maintain rank

Irmscher

I wonder how many different C class IPs are you blogs located on?

And that's exactly what I'm concerned about - BMR has limited amount of C class IPs they host their blogs on, that's why you see little difference after 10-15 posts.

"Authority Link Network" might be a good solution to carry on the SEO push.

frogman

I think the power of this kind of system (as opposed to just posting the content on a squidoo lens for instance) is that the post is on the home page for a period of time. It falls off when more content is added and at that point I think it looses its effectiveness since it is now on a nothing page.
So it seems to me that slow and steady wins the race for this kind of tool.

renegadetmj

Im currently using their free trial and submitted 10 links for a 1 yr old site that is ranking around 30 for a medium competition keyword phrase. No movement yet but it's early days. I figure I'll test it further with 1 months subscription, and post at least 2 links per day for each domain.
Im making sure that I have the posts ready to go before I subscribe though as I just know I'll get sidetracked and not make best use of the subscription. (60 x 150 word posts so far today and my brain is fried...)

My question to anyone who curently subscribes - do you need to keep posting to maintain any gains in SERPs position?

papacuppa

I have been using them for nearly a year now and if I have learnt anything, it's that you need to focus your efforts rather than cast far and wide. When I started I was sucked into the romance of high PR links - I spread links far too thin.

With experience (and it depends on how competitive your keyword is) I would say that you want to focus on the main keyword, an LSI, and a naked URL (for safety) about 70/20/10 respectively. And then throw in other types of links for good measure.

I would be targeting one main keyword per domain as you get 10 links (posts) per domain, per day in BMR. If you buy into the standard package of 5 domains you can be building 50 links a day - for $59/£37 that's a belter for these links.

I make sure I post the maximum every day, when I stated that meant I was writing nearly 10,000 words by 1.00pm on some days But I got the returns from it so that's all that matters (I think I also encouraged carpel tunnel syndrome but that's another story).

If you are going to leverage BMR fully I would recommend it, but if not, you could find yourself paying $59 for 10 links a month, and in that light it's not such a steal ^^

To answer renegadetmj above, that depends entirely on how competitive the keyword is. I use BMR for local SEO, small businesses. I can rank 1st with just 3 posts a week within a month, and I'll stay there.

If you're an affiliate marketer you'll probably want to stay consistent, but then again that's really a given in linkbuilding, it's better to have 10 a day for months, than 100 a day, as a one-off. Have fun!
