So I have started and witnessed numerous threads on Fiverr. Most of them go something like this:

"For the next ___insert time period__ I will be building links using only Fiverr and track my results on the Warrior Forum"

For this thread however, I will just reveal the results so you all don't have to wait to see! I just posted the graphs from the case study on my blog, and I wanted to relay all the info here to all the savage warriors out there. Here it goes:
STARTING INFO:

Length:

One Month

Keywords Used:

I used a varitey of keywords. AKA Old Domains, New Domains, Old Pages New Pages. They looked like this:

KW A - Medium/High Competition, 5400 Exact Searches Per Month, Posted About 6 Months Ago On A 1 Year Old Domain. Starting rank - 12
KW B - Medium Competition, 1300 Exact Searches Per Month, Posted About 6 Months Ago On The Same 1 Year Old Domain. Starting rank - 30

  1. Article Marketing Gig - A gig that offered article marketing services.
  2. Social Bookmarking Gig - A gig helping in social bookmark indexing.

  4. High PR Profile Links - Gig promised backlinks on forum profiles.
  5. Comment Backlinks - Gig offers a blog commenting service.
  6. Backlink Pyramid Gig - Gig offered a backlink pyramid through forum profiles.

On Site Optimization:

-KW used in title

-KW used in a heading.
-KW used in an image tag.

Results:


KW A

Starting rank - 30
Ending rank - 7.
HMM.. I Like The AM GIG!

CONCLUSION

Looks like Fiverr can work. Especially for low competition keywords. Any questions? I will try my best to answer but don't get mad if it takes a couple days. I'm traveling.

    Can you tell me specifically which AM gig you used? I use an AM gig too and have got similar results with it, I would love to know which one you used.

        Same here lol; his gig is the only one that gives me immediate results. i guess because he submits the livelinks for indexing too. I've noticed though that the gig doesn't have the same effect when you use it the second or third time though.

          Thanks for that info. I was going to do some other blasts on the same keyword, but now I don't think I will. Funny that we are both getting these great results from his gig. (He is in for a lot of business if enough people see this, ha)

          Lately I have been using this and other gigs for low competition keywords and ranking them insanely fast.

          Good stuff...

            Do you use duplicate articles for his gig or an original one?

              I have been writing originals for it. This is getting old quick though, so I'm thinking about using duplicates.

              What have you been doing?

            You might still want to try it though; I used duplicate article for those 2nd/3rd submissions and noticed on some of the livelinks that the articles had been taken down. That is probably why they didn't have any effect.

        LOL, looks like maybe not... no further reply about that from him/her.

        That said, this is a very interesting case study. I wondered the effectiveness of Fiverr (of course, the debate of it's worth or lack of is a constant debate in the forum) but apparently it does hold some weight from your case study.

        Looks like the AM gig really has some impact as well, especially with KW B and the results of it. I may just consider it once I finally get my site updated with the new SEO keywords / layout I've been doing.

        Hoping to get my semi competitive keyword ranking higher this time for some more business and traffic.

        Thanks for this great case study though... definitely informative and proof that Fiverr CAN do a little something at least if nothing more.

            Interesting, I have not tried that gig. I don't think I will now...

            Thanks for the heads up.

            Thats because profile links are no longer very effective, no matter what the top level domain's PR is. You are better off submitting in-content links within articles or blog posts.

              100% Agreed.

    So when you say that you used the AM Gig, how many times did you use it? just once?

    Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.

      It is a crap shoot. Also, if you are doing other SEO(which you should) you may mistakenly attribute a pop with a fiverr job or vice-versa, so analyze things carefully. I also wouldn't keep going back to the same gigs unless they rotate where they are posting your links, articles, etc. Google probably catches on pretty quickly.
