My .02$ about BMR

This is BMR's step-by-step SEO process:

1. You have to write your own article (or pay someone to do it for you) and submit it to BMR.

2. They publish it ONCE on any high pr domain.

3. They create an RSS feed, and submit it to various feed directories.

4. They submit the article to social bookmarking websites.

5. They check and verify if your article has been indexed.

Let's examine each step.
1. This is the initial step, nothing special.

2. This step is the same as someone publishing your article to a directory, and only ONE directory. Anyone can do this themselves, it might take 5 minutes.

3. RSS feed creation is easy, only requires one click. Submitting it to various feed directories, that might take some time. However, why would you need to submit it to more than 1 directory? One is enough.

4. Again, they submit your article to bookmarking sites for your article to get indexed faster. Step 3 is the same as Step 4. Their objectives is to get your article indexed faster, and also to add more backlink juice (backlinking a backlink) IMHO, I think tier2 backlinks are only good for tier1 backlinks that are not really high quality (profile backlinks, etc). Also, tier2 backlinks should be created naturally when it comes to high quality tier1 backlinks.

5. If your article was submitted to a reputable directory, it should have been indexed by then.

Anyways, $59 isn't that much if you want "guaranteed" indexing for your tier1 article backlinks, and tier2 backlinks. But for me it feels like I'll pay 59$ just for someone to submit my article to, for example, ezine.

Just my two cents.
Thanks.

Im gonna assume you haven't used BMR otherwise you'd see the huge difference between BMR and just submitting to an article directory. First of all your BMR post only needs to be 150 words. Most importantly though BMR puts your article on the front page and it usually stays there for about 3 or 4 days. This gives you a ton of PR juice. Also BMR builds a bunch of social bookmarking links to your article giving it even more power.

The SERP results I see after 10 BMR links is better then I have ever gotten after hundreds of article directory submissions.

You make a good point there, and no I haven't personally used BMR. On which front page does your article gets put?

And as for social bookmarking tier2 backlinks, if you absolutely want them, it can be done via an automated tool.

Thanks

Yep fully agree with this post. I've been testing out BMR now for a couple of months and have been seeing some awesome results. It definitely works because of the index factor as you say. How many guys pay peanuts for 3,000 links which never get found? It's all about getting those links indexed which BMR does for you.

I just started using BMR, so I'm interested to see how it works out. From what I've read, though, just a few backlinks from them can do quite a bit. $60/month for 5 domains isn't bad either. I might combine it with some fiverr gigs and article submissions of my own!

I used BMR for two months and then stopped because I was under the impression that to take full advantage of the service I needed dozens of submissions a month. I definitely saw some movement on the keywords I submitted but because I didn't have the time to writer (or money to outsource) dozens of articles a month it wasn't worth my investment. I averaged about 20 a month, which is what I'm now reading is probably all the more you need.

As someone else already pointed out, you only need 150 words for BMR which is better than just about every good article directory that I know which require 3-400. So it is easier/cheaper to write the articles.

The other thing that I really liked about BMR is that they have hundreds of high PR sites that they link to. Five articles on ezine or whatever your directory of choice isn't going to help you out as much as five distinct sites. The other major positive, at least in my book, is time. I have accounts with a bunch of the article sites and certainly I can go in and manually submit to each one and wait for approval but I have to remember what the rules are for each one and personally craft each article to fit the rules (many of which are changing/changed because of Google Panda.) With BMR there's just one set of rules and I just keep submitting my rewritten articles (since they don't accept spun content.)

The one downside that we'll have to see if there is any affect on BMR or not is the recent Google PR update. BMR used to promote that all of your links would end up on PR1 or higher sites. Because of the update some of those sites have dropped. I recently checked my articles (still there even though I'm not an active user!) and some of the sites are now PR0 but there's still a good number of 1's, 2's, and even 4's. I don't know if they are going to pull the PR0's out of their rotation until they get them back up to at least 1 or not but I think it's worth noting that some of their sites have dropped with the update.

They immediately stopped posting to PR0 sites. When you have a huge network of sites it's completely normal to expect the PR of the sites will shift.

What I appreciated about it is that they were totally transparent with the PR shifts.

Thanks for the update. Since I haven't been an active user I didn't know that but I think it speaks well of the service that they not only dropped the PR0's but have been open about it. Of course, as you said, when they have a huge network like they do, they can afford to drop the low performing ones.

BMR posts your links on pages that have high PR. A directory submission puts your link on pages that have PR0, even though their domain may have high PR. In order to get serious link juice, you need your links on high-PR pages, not PR0 pages within high PR domains.

Maybe you don't fully understand how PR works and filters through your pages, but chances are if your post is on a PR4 domain then the page you have created will likely be a PR of 1 at least.

I have a PR 3 blog in the mobile phone niche and ALL but a few pages are PR 2 and above with a majority of the posts not having a single backlink. In total there are well over 200 posts.

Lol.. this had me cracking up as well.

The truth is that BMR is currently the most potent of the blog networks.

But that does not mean it should be your only back linking method. I still do regular article directories, web 2.0 sites, link wheels, social bookmarks, press releases and everything else you can think of.

Hmmm... I think before you write a review wouldn't it best if you try it first? I'm saying this because we all get different results from different link sources, be it article directories or blog networks. There are just too many factors to consider.

I have been using BMR for 5 months and I'm getting good results from it. But it is just one of the tools I use.

Yeah, except there are only maybe a dozen Web 2.0 sites that are actually worth posting on. You also probably won't get on the front page with them. In order to get a decent PR on an individual pages on, say, Hubpages, you'll usually need a hubscore of 85+ which isn't that easy to obtain. 150 words is easy.

Why don't you do BMR + submit to web 2.0 properties? That's probably the best way to go about doing things (and what I plan on doing.)

And of course they have a good business model.

Frontpage for how long? I can do front page with Article Marketing Robot for free ...

There are tons of high PR web 2.0 and article directories that are worth submitting to, just a matter of what you define as high PR ... Still, BMR + Web 2.0 is a good plan.

By the way, do you retain rights to the articles that you submit on BMR?

You're not paying to submit articles. You're paying some high PR contextual links. You can sign up for free on the site and try them out.

Id recommend you target 1 keyword. Write your 10 articles, and test the results. Pick a keyword with low competition (because you only get 10 freebies). I bet you're happy with the results. If not, you're only out 30 minutes of writing.

Everyone has their theories, why not test them and see how it goes. If you don't mind writing your own posts, the cost/link is very cheap for what you get. you can get 1500 links/month for $60. I guarantee you aren't going to find that anywhere else, for links of this quality.

Sorry, that is just not true. If I write 300 posts per month and use AMR, I'd have god knows how many links per month. Plus, I can send them to web 2.0 sites as well.

Hey there,

I really don't know what's going on with your sites, the reason I say this is that every single one of my 'BMR' clients, comes back gushing about how effective it is and I use it to virtually guarantee increases in serps for my 'local' business.

However, I do also say that it shouldn't be the only tool in your tool box. It's great that you have solid on page SEO, but I'm intrigued to know what else you do in addition to 'bmr'. pm me if needed.

best regards

Colin Armour

2. Submit 1 article each to top 5 article directories.
3. Submit 2 spun articles to 100s of directories using AMR.
4. Manual social bookmarking to top 20 sites
5. BMR - 20 submissions for homepage and 5 each for every page of the site.

Mostly use Fiverr and few freelancers I found on SL and odesk, costs me about $120 to build the site and another $250 for marketing efforts over the period of 3 months. At the end of 3 months most of my sites reach a goal of about $500 per month in adsense or affiliate income.

Best ROI ever

Btw..anyone tried ActuallyRanks?

Did you come up with this process on your own, or did you have some mentoring/coaching from a paid site or warrior? I'm very interested to see your methods in more detail! Would you mind PM'ing me with any info? Thank you!

I've been using it for about 3 weeks now, and I have had very little sucess for how much writing I've been doing. I've written over 100 articles for each of my 5 domains and have barely seen any movement in the serps. Maybe its a little bit early still, but to me I probably won't be renewing considering the amount of effort it took to write those articles.

And what happens is you are only on the homepage for about 2-3 days. After that your post gets dropped to page 2 of the blog which is PR 0. Sure a backlink is nice, but I dont see the point of having a PR 3 backlink for only 2 days.

On average I'm getting 10x back from happy clients and the COST SAVING from NOT spending so much time and effort on other marketing forms, so I couldn't care less about paying the monthly cost.

BMR has a in house service to provide content, but they are expensive. BMR allows you to create writer accounts within your account, so you can hire out the writing and provide those writers with a username and password to post directly to your "projects".

Several writers here in the Warriors for Hire section and on Fiverr, offer approved BMR post services. They are ok if doing relatively low amounts of posting, but it starts to get expensive when doing 100s of posts per project.

The best option I've found so far is freelancer sites. On them you can find writers for as low as $30 per 100 approved posts. That's $30 for 15,000 BMR approved words. That's frigging dirt cheap...I don't know how they eat on that, but they fight over it.

BuildMyRank is great if you can get it as "hands off" as possible. Otherwise it consumes far too much time for the results that you achieve.

As others have noticed its also important to backlink your BMR posts when possible. That helps them get indexed, and stay indexed. Unfortunately the backlinking efforts by BMR are pretty minimal and don't really help you them get indexed very well/stay indexed.

BMR does work well, but as I said try and outsource the content creation part. Otherwise you'll be wasting your time and the general return isn't all that good.

Hello

I am using BMR for myself and it certainly works! It is my main backlinking tool

If you enjoy writing short unique articles (150 words) then, BMR is highly recommended. Personally, i enjoyed writing short articles rather than writing long spin text articles (such as other blog networks)

PROS
1) write short articles
2) most of the blogs have good PR

I had written close to 300 posts for my own account and close to 1,500 posts for my clients

For my own account the % of PR is as follows
PR 0 = 5%
PR 1 = 23%
PR 2 = 38%
PR 3 = 25%
PR 4 = 8%
PR 5 = 1%

(Note: This will change over time, as blogs' PR are not stagnant)

3) Most of the links are indexed quickly and you can see them through Yahoo Site Explorer (a good way to scare away competitors when they see you have high PR links) : ). Also, we do not need to do the indexing process, BMR will do it for us.

4) Easy to use interface and posts are quickly approved. (within minutes)

5) Highly relevant contextual link

6) You will know exactly where the link is posted

7) BMR will inform you if your link is indexed or not

8) It will display a cool pie chart showing the number of posts posted in what type of PR blog

9) You can queue all your posts.

10) If your posts are rejected, it will tell you the exact reason why such as (not unique, does not make sense, spelling or grammar error). This means you can quickly rectify them and post them again.

11) You able to Insert links quickly

CONS

1) Your site must have unique content, (no autoblog!) and the domain must not be drop domain (refers to domain that had expired and you purchase it)

2) Writing unique content can be tedious. The BMR guideline is very strict and there must not be any grammar or spelling errors.

3) Limited to 5 domains for USD59 and 7 to 10 links per day (max). You pay more for more domains. However, the good news is that you can swap domains in and out the account.

4) You cannot spin the exact same article twice

Tips to Write in BMR

1) Make sure that your keyword is within the first or 2nd sentence. This is to take advantage of the PR juice of the homepage. (The home page does not show the entire post) After 3 to 7 days, your post will be knocked over to the "Archives" section

2) Keep your post at 150 to 165 words. This is so that you have more time to write more posts.You also can choose to write an article of 300 words and put 2 links in it.

3) The title of the post does not matter (it seems you can put anything and it will be approved)

4) As mentioned, you cannot spin the the exact same article twice. However, you can spin one half of the articles and spin another half of another article and put them together. Still, the article must make sense.

5) Just get a good writer!

2) Writing unique content can be tedious. The BMR guideline is very strict and there must not be any grammar or spelling errors.

3) Limited to 5 domains for USD59 and 7 to 10 links per day (max). You pay more for more domains. However, the good news is that you can swap domains in and out the account.

4) You cannot spin the exact same article twice

Your cons are my pros.

1. No autoblog. Great, he wants the posts pointing towards a site with original content and not another crap autoblog.
2. Good grammar and spelling. How is that a con?
3. Simple solution is to swap your domains as you mentioned. Not a con. It takes all of 2 minutes to add a domain and some keywords.
4. No spun content. That is the best PRO of all.

The reason why BMR has been around for a year and half or better is due to John actually caring about the network. Sure, he could have made the decision to accept all the spun garbage you want to thrown into the network, opened it up to thousands of spammers, and took the money and ran. He would have made a lot of extra money in the short term. This is what many of the other networks have done over the years.

Instead, he has done it the right way. Not surprisingly, that is why writing original content and adding your posts to the network helps your sites rank better.

What happens when your post gets moved out of the homepage to archives?? Do you lose all the backlink juice since the link moves from a high PR page to a PR0 page.

Yep the minimum is still 150. But its a good idea to go a few 300 word posts and have two links pointing to the different pages of your site.

  How has BMR worked with competitive keywords instead of niche ?
  Does anyone have good experience on any competitive sites for ranking using BMR ?
  
  Thanks

Can someone please help me figure out how to choose the keywords for the articles.
do I choose one keyword and point all the posts to my home page? Should I vary them?

I want to hand the writing to an outsource person on odesk. But I don't know what keywords and titles of articles to choose. It's kind of confusing to me. Please give me a crash and short course how to go about it.

Thanks

Choose the keyword you are trying to rank for. Link to your homepage, and other pages on your site. Use multiple variations of the keyword. For example:

Homepage is targeting Dog Training

You would link using dog training, training aggressive dogs, doggy training, etc. Make the bulk of your links to the keyword you want to rank for, the others are just for a little diversity.

Do the same for each page on your site.

If you can, Do some keyword research and focusing on it. BMR is great with their system you can add keyword for each page.

If you want to highly focused in any keyword just tell your writer to give weigh to it.

Example for 50x Article
Main Keyword - 30x
Minor1 - 10x
Minor2 - 10x

Goodluck with BMR. I found that some of their network rank well under me lol.

i have been using bmr for 20 days now and so far i like it...before i purchased i created a bmr for a url and kw that i havent created a link to in months. Within a couple of days it moved me from 4th page to 2nd. It is not the only tool i use for backlinks but it does work pretty well. Plus IMO its pretty cheap. Some days if i feel like it i can write 15-20 if i want to. I most definitely believe i am getting my monies worth

Thanks

In my experience I only starting earning noticable money once I started using BMR. I had a reasonably competative site go from SERP position 200 to position 5 in the space of a month - something that I dont think I would have been able to achieve if I wasnt using BMR.
Writing the posts is a pain and I cant justify outsourcing them yet so I tend to write posts in my spare time for a month or so, and when I have a heap ready I reactivate my subscription and blitz my sites. Then I cancel my subscription until I have more articles ready and then I start again. It's easily worth the $59 - you will easily make this money back.
If you dont want to subscribe you can always just sign up for the trial and get 10 quality links for free.

I signed up for the free trial last month and put up 3 posts. Considering taking up the paid service in near future, however after logging in and checking the status of the posts, they're still showing as "Queued" 5 weeks after being submitted. Surely they should have been published by now.

As I understand, the posts should still get published in the fee trial. Anyone else had this experience?

I've been very close to signing up for BMR, but the above post has stopped me in my tracks.

Does anyone else have any comments on how long it takes posts submitted in the trial period to get published?

Thanks

Posts were submitted in a couple of days maximum during my trial period. Are you sure they werent rejected (as in needing editting) due to spelling mistakes etc? I signed up , paid subscription. Posts are published within a day normally. Very good service

Thanks

I had one rejected at first but resubmitted. Once posts get to queued status, it means that they are approved and waiting for distribution to the network. So don't know what happened. :confused:

I've used it before. Its just ok.

They tend to put all their great, high PR links at the beginning so you get fired up. Then all of a sudden the links a crap. Its good for about a month or two and thats it.

1. Do not try to use BMR on new sites, for new sites, just submit to social bookmarking sites, each and every page of your site should be submitted and indexed. Then you can build links by building web 2.0 properties and from major article directories like goarticles, ezine, articlebase etc. Once your site reaches among the top 5 pages in google, then you should start using BMR and see your site zoom into page 1-2 based on your niche.

Why do you suggest to not use BMR on new sites?

Thanks

There's no magic number of where BMR posts stop being effective. I do HUNDREDs of them for single pages, and they continue working to get to you to #1 and also maintain #1 when they are actively competing pages.

However, it always too risky to rely on a single source of backlinks. So I usually do as the guy above outline by creating other types of backlinks first (relevant blog comments, social bookmarks, PR links, article directories). Then I use BMR for the home stretch.

hey ericnelsonator,

You mentioned that you make 500$/month per blog you setup? So your earning around $10,000 for the 20 domains you have up?

I wasn't sure if you meant you make $500 total per month for the 20 sites or blogs or if you make $500 per month for each site or blog.

Thanks. I have a way to get to page 3-6 or so for the ones that are ranking. This is after I outsource the back linking. So once I get 5 blogs up with around 20-30 pages up on each I will probably give BMR a shot.

Thanks for your great posts.

Anyone have any idea, how a backlinking strategy from BMR would compare to a guest blogging backlink strategy? Would they be similar in strength? Assuming the backlinks haven't rolled of the homepage.

You are only hearing from a very small fraction of people who use the network. However, they only say that they are having problems, and that they use BMR. None of them have actually proven that the 2 are connected.

I use BMR on a daily basis; using all my submissions every day, and I have seen nothing but good solid results.

Comparing BMR to articles directories just shows how much people don't understand how to evaluate links. Article directories generally do not put your articles on their home page or any authority page. They may roll off with BMR but thats awhole lot better than never getting any real juice at all
