I'm really interested to know what Rank Jumpers is planning going forward. Some have suggested that they are an alternative to BMR - but there is at least one difference:

Rank Jumpers don't respond to emails for information or support. I've sent them a couple of emails - no response.

Another thing I've noticed is that they are also leaving a "footprint." This includes:

1. Crappy blog themes that are all default WP 2011 themes.

2. Domains are all using the same DNS

3. Default WP themes have no contact page, no TOS or Privacy page, and content posted is just so random and there is obviously no attempt to monetize the blogs on the network.

I could go on - these were the same issues that folk had criticisms of BMR - so surely, Rank Jumpers should take note? Increasing the article length to 200 word minimums isn't going to exactly do a whole lot when there is so much else they can do to protect their network.

Any Rank Jumper owners here? I'd really like to know what you are doing, before I cancel my subscription.

    Good points and I'd like to know about this too, as I've been thinking exactly the same things. I only recently joined up (before they closed it) to see what it's like, but haven't been too impressed so far. Plus, they're only posting 2 posts a day to the network.

    Rank Jumpers is shutting down the blog network. They had a larger deindexing of blogs.

      I can confirm I have received an email from them to this effect. They are offering refunds as well as removing all posts from deindexed sites first, then the remaining ones as soon as possible.

        I got the email too. Not surprised at all. Sigh. Too bad Rank Jumpers didn't learn from the experience of other blog networks and adopt some protective measures.

          They tried, closed their doors to new sign ups and tried to increase the quality of the content. But acting re-actively didn't help and I think Google planned it that way. Don't think all this network de-indexing was impulsive. Google had to have gathered the data before pulling the curtain back on the networks. And if that's the case, doesn't really matter what you do to hide, you're already dead.

            I am not sure why these networks thought that trying to up the quality of their content was going to save their chances of deindexing. Every networks first knee jerk reaction was to try and make the quality better when that has absolutely nothing to do with why and how Google found them.

    and that's why the blog networks are getting shut down.
