I heard that a service called Actually Rank is a good place to submit comments to high PR sites. Has anyone tried it, and do you think it's worth $89.00 per month?

Thanks

    You just get a list of URLs?

    The famous Angela Edwards and Pauls backlink packets don't have the exclusivity but are way cheaper.

    There are scrapebox lists of 100,000 blog URLs floating around for free.

    I thought this was going to be another private site network like BloggingUnderground & SEOLinkVine, both $67/mo on CB.

    These seemed like a possibility to me until i saw Dan Thies name off a half dozen similar posting networks that all went bad, some continuing to promote even though their properties were deindexed.

    I use ActuallyRank and love it. Not every URL is a winner, but enough of them are to make the cost worth it. Give it a shot for 3 months. I've scored some fantastic backlinks.

    I use other methods for backlinking as well, but I consistently use ActuallyRank weekly. The owner is Chris Rempel (aka the Lazy Marketer) and he's extremely knowledgeable about affiliate marketing. Check out his blog; you'll learn a ton.

    I've been an ActuallyRank member since they opened their doors on March 29/11. If there are spots available grab one because there's often a waiting list.

      I have for 1.5 months. For a little over $2 per day you can get a big list of blogs to comment on. For me that's ok, I don't have to mess around with proxies and scrapebox.

    I'm a member as well, and have also been since the beginning. I joined basically on Chris's reputation alone, as everything else I've ever seen or gotten from him has been at least pretty darn good, if not better. It got off to kind of a rough start, but he worked hard to fix things, which is commendable these days.

    As Eyetrap said, not all the sites listed are winners (and a few I wonder how they got through the screening process), but they give you a way to flag the ones that aren't. You get a pretty big list to comment on, and you can use that as a starting point to expand your commenting further.

    It has helped my SERP performance for several of my sites. You could do it manually, sure, but I'm already far too busy, and the time it would take is worth far more than $70 a month at this point.

    He also has a proxy system integrated into it so that you're posts don't look like they're all coming from the same IP, which is very useful, especially as it's all automatic.

      I decided to go for it. I started using it yesterday and noticed that most of the PR's are 0. In a 2000 link list there was only one 4. There were about eight 3's, and maybe fifteen 1's, the rest were 0's. There was nothing above the one 4.

      I don't mind posting to the 0 PR's, but do you think it's doing any good?

        I signed up for 4 months, and I can honesly tell you it was the biggest rip off I have come across in the IM game today,

        yes I only blame myself for letting it go for 4 months,

        I was geting the 4000 list, most of the list was pr 0

        but what was worse was that most of the urls were from 2007-2008-2009-2010, which meant the blog commenting was closed

        and plus the extra exspense of paying an outsourcer to deliver no results and then the time it took for me to recheck everything in disbeleif,

        how frustrating and exspensive.

        I wrote a detailed email to Cris rempell, which he replied to me in a rude cocky way saying I didnt really understand seo to the degree he did and pr really didnt mean that much, regardless, of that I was more pissed of with the fact that the unnatural amount of blogs that were just to old, imagine selling lists , which are quite exspensive of blogs form 2007 and 2008 , is he for real, was I so stupid to pay for it,

        I honeslty signed up because of the reputation he had from the lazy marketer,
        well lesson learned ,

        so really anyone out there dont waist youre money , go and find youre lists for free or another way

        • Completely agree! Big waste of money - I also subscribed due to Rempels reputation and after a long detailed email also got back a cocky, arrogant response!

          He couldnt care less about his members, the lists were low quality and you had to spend forever going through each one to get one that would accept your comment.

          He also moved the goal posts, his main sales pitch was all about high PR backlinks with low outbound links, They were clearly struggling to harvest the amount they needed and then started saying that PR isnt a big ranking factor. It clearly still is but they couldnt handle the demand - STAY AWAY!!

            I'm not a fan of schemes like this as well. Simply, not worth your money. Especially in the long run.

        those PR0's could turn into Pr1 pr2 or higher at one point or another.. it's not so much the PR that matters as the diversity of backlinks and domains

    A partner and I were using ActuallyRank for about 3 months. Neither of us saw any value in it and we cancelled our projects with AR.

    Not worth the money in our opinion.

    You can go for it. If you can afford that amount of money, then you should purchased it specially if you think it will give you good results.

    It's worth it to try out. If you have no results you can just quit.

    How long till you see results?

    In my first month, I tried it out with 2 of my sites.

    I made 10 comments every second day - linking back to each site with 5 (and noting in a spreadsheet the best urls). Maybe half got approved (we'll say 2/5). So each site would get 14 "live" doFollow links every fortnight. 1 of my sites was 6 months old and doing nothing else except these comments I jumped from 8 in SERPs to 2. In 2 weeks!

    My other site was 2 months old and jumped from 45 to 18. In 2 weeks.

    Needless to say I am happy paying 89 per month and I would recommend you try it out for 1 month to see if you get results... Cause who really cares about 89 per month if you can cement your site at number 1 in google.
