I don't know how ArticleRanks can be effective

Hey everyone. So I have used articleranks, UAW and now I'm mostly using BMR.

My friend tells me that articleranks is the best. You don't have to use anything else. Etc. etc. etc. Well first of all, I've experimented around and have tried all three programs. For those that don't know, I recently got BMR and so far it's my favorite one.

UAW - I won't even get to this one; blah.

Articleranks accepts your articles if it's 100+ percent unique. Okay that's cool, but what gets to me is that I don't even know where the articles are distributed to? It just gives me a number of acceptance. On top of that, does it ever get indexed? I have submitted my articles months ago, and sure they have gotten accepted a lot of times. But I never see it indexed (and isn't it true that backlinks are pointless if they're not indexed?).

I just got BMR literally a couple days ago and I already have backlinks that are indexed to PR 3-5, and I've even seen it on Market Samurai that they are indexed.

So.....Can someone tell me how is articleranks even good? Or am I missing something here? Thanks guys.

    Would like an answer to that. I have articleranks subscription too but hardly used it. BMR is definitely.

    Some people have said that your sites will rank if it just shows consistency of backlinks, even if they're not indexed. But still, I just don't understand AR.

      Damn I was just about to sign up at ArticleRanks but had no clue that the articles had to be 100% unique, and if they don't provide the urls where your article is posted, well how can we index them ourselves then? I guess I'll wait with signing up. This just sounds like total crap.

    Just go for BMR. An extra $20 per month shouldn't hurt you =).

      Well if it was only $20 extra it would be a no-brainer. Spinning an article to 100% to fool the automatic approval process of ArticleRanks isn't too hard cause I can just spin multiple articles into one and still maintain the readability at a certain level, though it won't make very much sense.

      But spinning an article for BMR to be approved by humans is a whole different ballgame. And outsourcing articles are as costly as $0.40/article after a LOT of searching to find the right one. Well I found that person but he could quit any day and 1000 articles would still equal $400,-, thats quite a bit more then $20

      I think I'll just stick to highPRsociety and for my paying clients I use BuildMyRank occasionally as well. Unindexed articles help rankings but they help less, thats why its important to get them indexed and clients also "demand" reports.

      Thanks for saving me 40 bucks.

        No problem. For me I don't spend a single dime but only the membership fee. The reason for that is I guess I'm gifted for typing so damn fast. And the fact that I can think fast while typing. I can probably post 20 + articles within half an hour. I guess like Packersfan said, "feed the beast."

          I also type very fast but I hate writing about stuff that I dont care about. So I'm sure if I sign up for a $60/month membership that I won't post more then 30 articles a month, maybe only 10. I'm damn lazy as well

          Another reason is that I have sites with 100's of pages that need to be ranked so instead I made a super spin article where I spinned each sentence a dozen times and that way it got so hugely unique + readable that I can use it for 10.000 articles easily.

      Less than a week in, BMR got me from page 7 to page 3 (this happened after 1 day of using it).

      I still need to test it out. I'll probably write a report on it.

      All I can say is that one month with UAW and it's GARBAGE.

      I've used AR for 2 months but I never knew where the articles were going at all. But while I was using AR I used a ABC backlinks in addition to it. During that time I had 2 sites with 15-20 keywords for both of em. Some were on page 1 and some were toggling page 2-5.

    I was about to check out Article Ranks, but I think as a customer we need to know which sites did they distribute our unique content. I guess I should research more about Article Ranks before committing to create and submit articles there.

    ArticleRanks works. I have used it for few keywords but not much though. I actually don't like their spinning requirements. They don't show the sites got posted but I was able to Google few of my articles and those are indexed.

    Other way BMR work very well and almost all post get indexed. It's because they need Unique content. I am using BMR consistently but there is one problem with BMR. If you target difficult keyword and you manage to get top position with BMR then you need to continue posting. Otherwise your ranking will fall down. It happens since post stays on homepage for 48-72 hours. After that those goes to inner page.

    I am planning to use ArticleRanks now. Problem is to create article for them. They need at least 200% unique content for more distribution.

    I have my own "secret sauce" of ranking. ArticleRanks was part of that process. I had my suspicions that it wasn't doing much so I took it out of the recipe for a while and everything ranked exactly the same and at the exact same speed. So in a nutshell it ain't doin TOO much.

    You cant really compare BMR to ArticleRanks

    One is a spinning network and the other is not

    Yes you are probably going to get better indexation rates with BMR because of that

    However as you are probably aware we also have a new network similar to BMR over at LinkAuthority.com the great thing about it is you can also use it for free like you can with AR

    We also do testing regularly on ALL our networks to keep them working effectively and using LinkAuthority to directly link to your money sites and then using ArticleRanks to build 70-80% links into the published posts on LA and 20% directly linking to your money site is working very well indeed

      No, you can't compare BMR to AR. However, my thing is why is it that none of the backlinks are getting indexed? I've used this program since August of 2011 and NOTHING is indexed. Yes the articles were 150% unique, with a high approval rate.

        What makes you think they're not indexed? Are you saying Google hasn't actually indexed anything or that you are just not seeing them in backlink showing tools? There is a big difference between the two.

        I found through my pingbacks that ArticleRanks had about a 40% index rate and then they other 60% I would put through Nuclear Link Indexer which would get my articleranks links about 70% indexed.

        Have you submitted a ticket so we can take a look at why?

        There is no way nothing can be indexed.. We have an indexing rate of 30-50%+

        We have thousands of users using AR daily and there would be an uproar if nothing was getting indexed.. Are you a free member? Free members indexing rates are not as good as paid members because we do not use our built in tier 2 linking for credit members

        There are plenty of users doing reviews regularly

        These ones are quite recent from a quick Google search I did

    I've used ArticleRanks for over a year now. I also use BMR, Authority Link Network, Link Authority (AR's new sister site) and High PR Society.

    I have found AR to be reasonably effective. I have one of my sites with PR on their network, so I receive credits and effectively I can submit articles for free.

    In regards to indexation, this entry from their blog is interesting:

    Nov, 17 2011
    As webmasters are well aware.. Although a URL or link may not be indexed it still passes and flows link juice. There is a huge difference between search engines indexing a piece of content and counting the links it sees in the content. However a well indexed and well written piece of content is likely to pass a lot more power and authority then a non indexed piece of content.

    As you have probably noticed AR for quite a while now has been building links into published articles for monthly members. Now we have decided to take things a step further and work on getting even more articles and content indexed. But this is not only for monthly members but also for free members. We will from today onwards, any articles that have been published we will ping each url individually, create RSS and XML feeds for each piece of content and ping them. This will be done on a regular period for 7-10 days
    An added benefit for monthly members is we will be doing exactly the same thing but also doing this to the bookmarks and links we automatically create for you directly from the AR system - doubling the effectiveness.

    As long as Google spider crawls a backlink, then it will make a difference. The actual page doesn't even need to be indexed. Although, indexed backlinks are more valuable, it's possible for google to count a backlink without the page itself being indexed.

    The major benefit of BMR is that the backlinks come from high pr pages. Plus, the pages are virtually guaranteed to be crawled and indexed.

    Funny, not that long ago articleranks was still the best known and probably also biggest network, along with seo linkvine etc. Stunned to see that some people never heard of this network...

    I am using articleranks occasionally, alongside with ALN and FBL....i don't see it's an issue since its free (with some own blogs in the network)..and its simply not a big deal to submit an article eg. to ALN and then to articleranks also...in other words you dont lose anything. And more links is always better.

    And the "100% unique" thing is nonsense since there is no such thing as a 100% unique article. The one i submit to ALN etc. also works on articleranks, they are well spun and readable and always get accepted. The only thing i don't like is that articelranks uses another spin syntax.

        For anyone thinking of using article ranks I would definitely reconsider! I've been using it recently with their top package and alot of the links are appearing on de-indexed websites, it looks as though the owner is failing to tell his customers something here. One thing is for sure, your rankings won't improve, they will tank.

          That is not true we regularly clean out deindexed sites and have not had big deindexing issues - what are we hiding lol we already had a message on the dashboard for about 2 weeks explaining how much deindexing etc was experienced

              Please kindly submit a support ticket so we can take a look

              Also if your rankings haven't dropped please refrain from making such statements

              Also if you are still using article spinning as tier 1 links then i would think about changing it to tier 2 links

              Actually we are considering totally changing AR and turning it into a tier 2 network where you can only build links into web 2.0 properties etc

              None of us know where google changes are heading but we do know tier 2 links work just as well if not better

                It's bobbing around like a cork in water, thankfully I haven't used this for long but having Googles algo so sensitive it doesn't help when links get removed, it gets counter-productive even over a long period of time.

                Also if your rankings haven't dropped please refrain from making such statements

                Also if you are still using article spinning as tier 1 links then i would think about changing it to tier 2 links

                Actually we are considering totally changing AR and turning it into a tier 2 network where you can only build links into web 2.0 properties etc

                None of us know where google changes are heading but we do know tier 2 links work just as well if not better
                That is an excellent idea. I've been thinking about resigning up to articleranks for some extra tier 2 building.

    I agree with most about BMR. Great for quickly getting indexed and increased page rank. ArticleRank not as impressive at all.

    Using just 1 blog network is pretty dumb.. That creates an obvious footprint for Google to track all the blogs (or most of them).

    Diversify your backlinks, use multiple blog networks, and you'll be good.

    AR is awesome. not sure why people make those statements about them. They work well. 12 of my customers and mine are ranking good using ar and uaw and using be and bi to get them indexed and get some backlinks to them as well.
