If you do not know, this is a new monthly blog list membership started by chris rempel.

I noticed that on his sales page he says that only 15 people will be allowed to be in his "competitive" package where members get 2000 blogs a month to post to, 12 people will be allowed for the "very aggressive" package (4000 blogs) and 10 for the "total dominance" package ( 10,000 blogs per month.

I signed up thinking that there will be very few of us using the blogs as i know once many people start posting on such blogs, the blog owners usually shut down comments or the blogs just become spammy or no follow.

I was surprised to read chris rempel's email today saying that he has 764 Members!

I thought 15 + 12 + 10 =37, not 764!

Did I miss something in my understanding of the sales copy?

    • Yea, what he meant was that only 15 people will be getting the same links as you. So he may have 700 memebers, but the packages are divided into groups of 15 users, so that you don't have 700 people all commenting on the same blogs.

      I signed up for his and am loving the system. Blog commenting on really high PR blogs is a great tool for rankings. Not the only tool that said, but a great tool.

        Yeah the way I read it was only 15 people are allowed to post on each blog. Im not entirely sure what is going on behind the scenes but I guess you would divide the total amount of members by 15 and that number multiplied by the 10,000 blogs I guess. So I would estimate the entire inventory is around 700,000 blogs. This would make sense, and would ensure that the blogs did not become "spammy," But it is a launch, so hopefully he has delayed delivery or something.

        Im no expert at creating SEO software but this presentation is a bit confusing and it could be a much better video that explains A. Does he have a relationship with these blogs, B. What is his opinion of irrelevance in contrast to his success with this DB. C. How much inventory (as he calls it) does he really have and will these blogs appreciate a sudden flux of irrelevant and nebulous one liner posts.

        So yes, we all know that alot of the members will hire idiots to post on those blogs and who the heck knows what will happen.

        Furthermore, a common occurance with the "sources" is that the last comment was posted two years ago and now there will be 10 comments all of a sudden. The site owner may take it as spam.

        Also, yeah... I am sure that there is a ZERO % chance (as he stated) that Google will not send you back to the dark ages either. (Sorry for the sarcasm)

        The truth is, I found the sales copy to be a bit disjointed from the sales video, but I do see it as he did us a favor by even making a video in the first place, so I see that as a privilege. But yes, the obvious goal of this launch seems to be to sell a DB of links outrageously overpriced to the tune of $100,000+ a month.

        Ill tell you one thing.. From the user's perspective, you can throw out the term "relevant" into the wind because there is no organization, only by PR and when I was last in the members area 0PRs were taking up the entire page, which in the video it showed that there were high PR sites all over the place. What happened?

        I guess I bought it at the wrong time because half of the domains are Blogspot.com

        Well Chris stated he was "fixing it" but fixing it to what?

        Put yourself in the shoes of the blog owner. You have a site that you worked hard on, a few natural posts once every 3 or 4 months, then 5 or 6 fake posts come in all at once. Ok, well they are obviously fake, that sucks.. How did this happen? Well there is a "guru" that lists a directory of blogs like yours, yours is one of them where he encourages his PAID users to post random postings, totally irrelevant for the sole purposes of tricking the search engines into favoring their sites.

        How would you feel as the owner of that blog.

        I think the key here is to hire someone or to build a script yourself that will seek out these types of links, then you can ensure that you will have a powerful and diversified arsenal and ensure Google wont laugh at you. It'll cost you the amount of a lunch meal. Not $300 a month. I could tell my programmer to build a script that finds only High PR websites that have "Leave a comment" at the bottom but are organized to the niche instead of just jumbling all of them together. I know my programmer could do this in two hours and I would feel bad to charge any money for it at all. It should really be a free resource.

        Just because the guru had success, it doesn't mean you will with your niche site. I know I started using the database, downloaded the entire "monthly" inventory and its going to be a waste of time when I could just search google for these types of sites myself.

          I was recently signed up to a service from someone on here - backlink-vault.com - which looks very similar to actually rank but.... it cost $9.99 a month and you had access to about 5000 high pr sites which got updated constantly. hmm

          You make some good points, but from what I can see is that it is basically just a list of high PR blogs. You could probably get the same thing by reverse engineering sites using Market Samurai, but the difference here is that it would take a lot more time and most of the sites actually allow comments still and are not closed.. Also, after watching his training on how to write comments, it doesn't appear spammy to the blog owner. I know some of them haven't had comments for 2 years or whatever, but if the comment is relevant then I think it will get published.
          I think the key is not to comment on each and every blog. You don't need 2,000 high PR backlinks a month. That's overboard. They way I think I am going to try and use the system is to chose blogs that I know a little about the subject (judging by the title post). If I can just get 50 PR 3 backlinks each month, I'll be happy with that.

          Worth a go at least for a few months. What's the worst that can happen? You lose $150. I dunno..sounds worth a try to me.

          Cheers mate

            I hear ya. Im super critical of this product, but I would download this month's links after they fix the problems and then do 5 a day. And yes, a script that can find high PR blogs, that have the option to leave a comment are the parameters you need.

    Will you keep the links that you already posted, when you decide to stop your subscription?
