Fast Blog Finder Review is a post from: Script Critics

There is no doubt in my mind that this software is highly complicated.  I am sure that it would take me hours, if not days, to do on my own in what this program tries to do in minutes.  Unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations.

First, let me say that I really wanted this program to work.  If it did, it would be a huge timesaver, AND it would help me bring more traffic to my sites.  Who doesn’t want that?  Traffic typically means money earned.

Before using SEO SpyGlass, I read the instructions.  I followed them and generated my first report.  As I reviewed the seven steps my blueprint had given me, I was a bit confused about some of the steps.

So, I went back to the instructions to see if I had done something wrong.  Nope, I hadn’t missed anything.

Then I tried a different keyword phrase.  Things did not get better.  I tried five different searches, all with less than desirable results, which I will explain below.

I am not going to share the specific results I did that pertain to my own websites.  However, my final search with this program was made just for this review.  I searched on the highly competitive phrase, “Dog Training.”  I do not have a dog training site, but if I did, or if I wanted to start one (which I don’t), then I should be able to follow the seven steps and outrank any site, according to SEO SpyGlass.

Step One – How to properly optimize your anchor text

This is where I am given five specific anchor text keywords that I need to use when linking back to my dog training site.  (Anchor text is the word that is seen when a link is used, such as for Script Critics.)  According to SEO SpyGlass, the top five phrases I need to use to outrank my competition in search engines are:

1. dog training basics
2. dog training basics home page
3. dog training basics – articles
4. dog training basics.com
5. This is a word that appears to be in Chinese, or some other Asian language, which I am unable to copy and paste here

Why am I going to use the phrase ‘dog training basics’ in the four given versions, if I am trying to rank for the phrase ‘dog training?’  Perhaps there is a reason that I simply do not understand, but the reasoning is not explained to me.  And, why was a phrase given in a foreign language?  I chose the USA as my search engine country, so this just baffles me.

Under this list is a list of the top ten individual anchor text keywords I should use:

1. training
2. dog
3. basics
4. www
5. dogtrainingbasics
6. http
7. htm
8. articles
9. home
10. page

Really?  I’m going to outrank my competitors of dog training sites by using the phrases, “www,” “http,” “htm,” “articles,” “home,” and “page?”  In truth, only three of the ten terms are relevant.

Step Two – Increasing your site’s importance with Google

This step looks increase my site’s Page Rank (PR) with Google.  To do this, the program tells me what sites I need to get backlinks from.  Backlinks are links from someone else’s site to my site, and they should use relevant anchor text to be most effective.  The best type of backlinks are from sites that are similar to your site.  So, if I am trying to rank for ‘dog training,’ then the best backlinks for my site will come from high PR ranking sites that are also about dog training, or at least about dogs.

There are 20 domains that I am told I need to get backlinks from.  The program even tells me exactly what pages on each domain I should get the backlinks on to increase my Page Rank the most.  Here are the exact top 20 pages I am told I need to get backlinks from to increase my site from the following, in order of importance:

1. http://us.geocities.com/hdhava/ (relevant, but no method for getting a backlink on this page)
2. http://www.geocities.com/swhdaphne/DogTraining.html (relevant, but no method for getting a backlink on this page)
3. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=1006042433001 (relevant, but no method for getting a backlink on this page, as the question is closed to new answers)
4. http://dir.yahoo.com/Science/Biology/Zoology/Animals__Insects__and_Pets/Mammals/Dogs/Training_and_Obedience/ (relevant, and I could potentially get my site on this page)
5. http://www.dmoz.org/Recreation/Pets/Dogs/Training/ (relevant, and I could potentially get my site on this page)
6. http://www.squidoo.com/heateddoghouses (relevant, but highly unlikely that I could get a link on this site)
7. http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/refpages/search.aspx?q=dog+trainig (I was presented with the following error message on this page, “Searched for ‘dog trainig’ No results were found in your search in Encarta.”, which does not help me)
8. http://kids.yahoo.com/ask_earl/691543 (relevant, but no method for getting a backlink on this page)

Well, I was going to provide the entire 20 sites, but SEO SpyGlass stopped going to the links.  This is one of the problems I’ve noticed as I’ve used it.  For some reason, all links stop working.  This is true of external links, such as the ones above, as well as links within the program, such as from one step to the other.  I then have to save my search, close the program, and reopen it to get the links working again.  Highly frustrating!  So, you just get the see the top eight sites.

On the other searches I made, some of the pages I was told to get backlinks from were not only impossible, but also completely unrelated to my site’s niche.  For example, one page I was told to get a backlink from was an ended eBay auction that had nothing to do with my site.

First, it was completely irrelevant, so I don’t know why I would even want to get a backlink, assuming I could.  More importantly, it was impossible to get a backlink from the page, as with many of the above examples, because there is simply no way to do so!

Excuse me while I restart the program so I can finish my SEO SpyGlass review…

Ok, I’m back.

Before I leave Step Two, I would like to note that, of the eight pages listed above, only two of the pages were ones I might be able to get backlinks from.  That’s a terrible ratio of good sites to bad.

Step Three – Finding high-quality link partners and getting more link love

This step is about finding other websites to exchange links with.  This means I put a link to Bob’s site on my site, and Bob puts a link to my site on his site.  As with backlinks (which these technically are, but in this case I am also putting links to other sites on my site, which I would not do in Step Two), I will benefit most from exchanging links with sites similar to mine, such as other dog training sites, or dog sites.

The program gave me eight sites that, it says, I need to get links from.  It must be these exact pages:

1. http://www.talewaggers.com/pup_in_the_house.html (this site no longer exists)
2. http://www.zimfamilycockers.com/potty.html (relevant, and it may be possible to get a link from this page)
3. http://www.dnet.net/wcdfa/ (relevant, and it may be possible to get a link from this page)
4. http://www.paw-rescue.org/before.html (relevant, and it may be possible to get a link from this page, though it looks very difficult)
5. http://www.petcareservice.net/index.htm (relevant, but no backlinks on this page)
6. http://www.ombr.org/adoptioninfo2.html (relevant, but no backlinks on this page)
7. http://precious-puppies4u.tripod.com/ (relevant, and it may be possible to get a link from this page)
8. http://www.kidsites.com/sites-edu/animals.htm  (relevant, and it may be possible to get a link from this page)

So, of the eight pages, I may be able to exchange links with only five of these pages, though one looks to be very difficult.  Not as bad as the results for Step Two, but also not great, given that the program said I need to exchange links with ALL of these pages.

Oh, look at that.  The links stopped working again.  I’m off to close it and open it for the second time during this review.

Step Four – Using articles and press releases for high-quality links and publicity

This step provides me with a list of 160 article directories I should submit articles to.  Of course, they should include anchor text keywords back to my site to be effective.  This is pretty straight forward, and looks like good information.

Also included are 96 press release sites that I should submit press releases to.  As with articles, I would need to include anchor text keywords back to my site.  Again, this looks like good information.

Step Five – Unleashing your competitor’s biggest traffic sources

This step is about learning which sites send traffic to my competitors sites.  It is another list of pages that I need to get links from.  I am not going to list these sites, as there are 43 specific pages.  The pages do look like I could get backlinks from them, so that is good.

Step Six – Tapping into social media to get traffic and links

This step is about using social media sites for bringing traffic to my site.  This is a list that includes 47 specific pages that I need to get links from.  The sites look like they are all relevant, with a good chance to get backlinks from.  That is good.

Step Seven – Using Internet directories to boost your rankings

This step is about what directories I need to get my site listed in to improve my site’s search engine ranking.  It starts with both DMOZ and Yahoo! Directory, then gives a list of 1,447 sites to get listed in.  Yes, you read that correctly, over one thousand directories that I would need to submit to!

The first six steps would be fairly time-intensive if I do as my blueprint states I should do.  My guess is it would take me about a week or so to complete them.  But step seven is massive.  To do this on my own would take months.  I’m guessing most people outsource this step, as I can’t imagine taking the time to submit one site to 1,447 directories.  If I did, though, I’m sure my site would benefit greatly in rank from all the links it would have.

In closing, I really wish this provided better results.  There are far too many irrelevant pages given (there were many more in my private searches than were shown in this example), too many no-longer-existing sites (there was just one in this example, but there were a lot in my private searches), and too many pages that are just impossible to get backlinks from, as there aren’t any or it can’t be done (such as eBay auction results).

The results are unreliable for such a pricey program.  That isn’t to say there is no value to it, as steps five, six, and seven did seem to have valuable information, but I could have gotten the same information on my own with a bit of research.  I cannot recommend this program, unless you decide to use the free version.

I am very impressed with the changes they have made, and MUCH prefer the PLR articles they are now sending members.

~ Rochelle

Writing content for a website can be extemely time-consuming work.  For some, it is even torture!  Finding pre-written articles that you can legally use on your own sites is the perfect answer for many site owners.  This is why many people use PLR articles.

PLR stands for Private Label Rights.  It means, you can use PLR articles in any way you see fit, within the terms of the articles.  The terms vary from source to source, but typically you are allowed to publish the articles and claim them as your own, but you can’t sell them or give them away.

Enter PLRPro.  PLRPro is one of many PLR membership sites.  For a monthly fee you are given 11 different articles packs, each containing 40 articles, and header graphics that match each pack’s niche or theme.

You might wonder why you would want to pay the monthly price from just a bunch of articles and graphics.  I once thought that, too.  Truth be told, I was a member of PLR Pro in early 2008, and quit a month later.  The articles were fine, but I didn’t really know what to do with them.

What a difference a year makes!

Features of PLR Pro

In late 2008 I rejoined after finding out they had overhauled the site and added a lot of features (with more to come!).  As of this writing I have been a member for five months and have no plans to quit again.  The changes the site owners made has significantly improved the site for all members.  This PLRPro review is based on my most recent experience with them.

First, you still get the article packs and graphics.  Included with the graphics, for those who have Photoshop, are the .psd versions of the graphics, so you can modify them, if you want.  Or, you can use them as is.  They are high quality headers that can be used without modification.

Newly added to the site is a tool that aims to make various aspects of creating and promoting a site as easy as pressing a button.  The reality of this tool is that there are still bugs to be worked out, which is frustrating at times.  The frustration mostly comes from seeing the potential of this tool, knowing that it can do so much more than it sometimes does.  But when it works properly, it can’t be beat!

The tool, called the Project Green Button (or PGB), makes creating a new site a super simple process.  Simply enter a few details about the site, choose a theme for the site and your article pack, and the PGB tool builds the site in minutes.  You can also use PGB to edit any page, or add new pages.

There will soon be a modification to PGB that will allow it to make WordPress blogs, which is very exciting!  I prefer to create sites using WordPress, not HTML.

The PGB tool also has several promotional tools.  From within PGB you can launch:

• RSS Submit.  This will allow you to submit your site’s RSS feed to several well-known sources.
• Social Bookmarking.  This will allow you to submit your site, or pages within your site, to many well-known sources.
• Article Marketing Automation.  This will allow you to submit articles to the AMA site, to help you gain backlinks to your site.

These three tools are incredibly helpful to have.  The services they provide are important for gaining traffic to your sites and getting important backlinks (links from other sites to yours).  Having them as part of PGB is incredibly helpful in that PGB keeps track of your login information, and you can do everything from one location.  This is SO much easier than having to go to each site individually!

PGB does not submit sites to directories.  If you want to do this then you will have to do it on your own or use separate software.

Included in your membership with PLRPro is free access to AMA.  AMA is an amazing resource and will be covered in another review.  I love using AMA and think that this, alone, makes the membership worth it.  Throw in the PGB tool and this is an incredible deal for people who plan on creating multiple sites.

The owners of PLRPro want you to succeed when you join their site.  To accomplish this, they have created a step-by-step blueprint of how to make $2000-$6000 per month within 12 months.  They tell you exactly what to do to achieve this financial goal.

Is the blueprint realistic?  Yes!

There are no difficult steps.  All are easily accomplished.  The most difficult aspect is actually doing them.  And to help you do each step, there is a spreadsheet that you use to track your progress.  The key is to complete each step each week for six months.  You can go beyond six months, but the spreadsheet is only for this length of time.

There were one or two areas that confused me on the spreadsheet.  While I think I know what I’m supposed to do with them, I was not positive.  Fortunately, there is a great forum for members.  I posted questions about what I was confused about and got answers pretty quickly.

In and of itself, PLRPro is a great program.  However, it is not the end-all, be-all of site creation and promotion.  It is my opinion that this site is a perfect match for Crowd Mountain.  What you learn as a member of Crowd Mountain will help immensely with your membership to PLRPro.  Among other things, Crowd Mountain goes deep into explaining about keyword research, which is glossed over at PLRPro.

While it may be tempting to simply start posting articles on your site, I urge new members to actually watch the tutorial videos and read the written instructions.  Even if you think you know a topic, it is important, as you may have been doing something wrong and not even know it.

PLRPro Review is a post from: Script Critics

The result is that your posts appear on popular, well indexed blogs, and become relevant resources for their own readers! As a side benefit, most of those blogs carry authority , pagerank, and deep indexing in all major search engines, which brings your own site up the ladder as well!

In the end, regardless of how I or anyone looks at it, the Linkvana system will be considered buying links by the likes of search engine authorities… so you have to weigh that into your decision process, but keep in mind… it works, very well!! I have used Linkvana to promote several different sites and the difference is VERY noticeable within the first 30-45 days of the posts going live!

Features of Linkvana

Easy to Use Central Dashboard

As soon as you get into the administration dashboard of Linkvana, you will have no problems at all figuring out where you need to go! Some of the other link builders I have used in the past are very confusing and require a degree in web browsing to figure out where you need to go to get started! Linkvana has very few choices and each of them is very specific and easy to understand!

Detailed Training Videos to Get you Started

Although the system is super easy to use, the support team at Linkvana has still gone out of the way to create a series of How-To videos for using their system! The videos cover everything from navigating the website, adding your projects, and building your content posts for your sites!

Unlimited Projects & Posts Per Project!

From the dashboard, you enter your Linkvana projects or websites that you wish to promote! There are not 75 questions about your site and honestly, I think discretion was one of the main goals within the system! If you have only 1 website you want to promote, just enter the info and build as many mini posts as you want! If, on the other hand, if you have 100 websites to promote, you have the benefit of listing and building an unlimited number of projects and posts within the system, at no additional cost!

No Spammy MFA Sites Allowed!

One of the biggest drawbacks to using a service to market your site for you, is that everyone with a spam farm eventually joins in and degrades the service! With Linkvana, they review 100% of ALL projects to be sure they lead to higher quality websites that contain unique content, versus spam or made for adsense sites.

Single Monthly Fee!

I don’t know about anyone else, but I am a budget person! I work best knowing what I am going to spend every month on different services and make sure I get the most of them after I have paid! Linkvana operates with a single price for everyone who uses the service! Most of you may shy away from the $150/month fee, but I can tell you first hand that time is money… and Linkvana will save you MANY hours of time every month, making the system worth much more than the monthly fee!

Mini Posts or Full Articles – Your Choice!

One of the major benefits to article marketing through Linkvana is that you don’t have to spend all day writing articles! Linkvana allows articles, or mini posts, as short as 100 characters! On some of the sites I tested this on, I could crank out 25-30 mini posts in less than 1 hour! Keep in mind, copy/paste does not work and ALL of your submitted content must be 100% unique to you!

Outsourcing Made Easy!

If you are like myself, you find a way to delegate tasks to those who do it better! Within the Linkvana system, you can simply click a button within your project, and order as MANY posts as you want for $2 each! Heck, last month, they awarded recurring member credits to users and allowed them to use them to buy content articles for no extra cost! How can you beat that? You provide the keywords and page you want promoted – they write and post the content for $2 each!

Review of Linkvana One Way Link Building Services is a post from: Script Critics

As soon as I heard about Crowd Mountain I became a member and couldn’t wait for the site to become available.  I am happy to say that my expectations, which were very high as I already know what Michelle is capable of, were not only met, but exceeded.

Features

The purpose of Crowd Mountain is to train members in all facets of online business building. Michelle has created an Internet bootcamp, which is the first thing new members will have access to.  Michelle has created 6 different bootcamp training modules:

• Niche the Niche: how to properly do research before creating a new website.  Members have access to a 17 page workbook that you can download and print, and six training videos.
• Optimize for Size: how to build and SEO (Search Engine Optimize) optimize a website for earning money.  Members have access to a downloadable workbook, automatic affiliate profit generating and SEO enhancer plugin,and  five downloadable website themes that are already SEO optimized and good for any niche.
• Content Architecture: how to decide what kind of content to add to your site and how to to publish it.  Members have access to information on what type of content Google loves, a custom-tweaked plugin to make finding and publishing that content as easy as a few mouse clicks, and a private plugin Michelle had built just for Crowd Mountain that will make building your site around a set of long-tail keywords super simple.
• Monetization Station: how to make money with your niche site with advertising, affiliate programs, or your own stuff.
• Search Engine Assault: what you need to do to get Google to love your site and send organic traffic your way.
• Power Networking: how to use social networking to become an authority in your site’s topic.

The above list is just a sample of what Crowd Mountain members have access to.  The rest you can read on the Crowd Mountain website.

What do I think of Crowd Mountain?

At this time, I have only seen and viewed the tutorials found in modules one, Niche the Niche, and two, Optimize for Size.  This is because Michelle is releasing one module per week, to prevent confusion and information overload.  Since the site is just a little over a week old (as of this writing), these are the only modules available.  So, this Crowd Mountain review is based on two things: the two modules I’ve already seen, and my previous experience of Michelle’s training from my time spent with her as my mentor.

Regarding the two modules I have seen, they are outstanding.  Contained in the first module are not one, but three, training videos detailing how to do keyword research.  The three videos cover three different niches (one niche per video), so viewers get a very good idea of how to do keyword research.

The second module is all about how to properly set up a new WordPress blog so that it is SEO’d right from the beginning. Michelle details how to install and setup the plugins she considers most important for site SEO.  I was familiar with some of the plugins, but, after watching her videos for them, realized I had been using them incorrectly.  So, even in an area that I thought I knew, I learned something.

One of my favorite tools, which is exclusive to Crowd Mountain members, is the task manager.  Michelle had this program custom made just for this site.  The Task Manager software keeps track of what has and hasn’t been done on every website you enter into it.  Most tasks are ones created by Michelle, but users can add their own tasks if they like to do things that Michelle doesn’t include.  This makes it fully customizable to each member’s wants or needs.  I am loving this program!

There is also a Snooper program: “The Snooper was made to look inside Google’s algorithm and literally SEE what link building and social media sites Google likes the most. Those are the sites to focus on – if they’re already in favor, piggyback your own sites on them for quick ranking.”  Is it truly as powerful as Michelle claims?  Yes!  Is it really easy to use?  Yes!

Pros and Cons of Crowd Mountain

About the Developer

According to Michelle, “I focus on integrating “Web 2.0? technology – that is, the hip, new, cool stuff all the kids are using – into my marketing, as well as teaching others how to do the same. I believe the internet is turning more and more towards user-created content and grassroots movements.

One of my favorite things to learn about is a new, neat website with some Web 2.0 usefulness integrated into it – and my first questions is, “How do I use this for marketing?”

Cost and Licensing of Crowd Mountain

• Membership Cost: $47 per month
• Cost includes access to modules (one per week), the Task Manager, WordPress blog plugins, the Snooper (an awesome tool!) and anything else Michelle adds to the site!

Special Bonus for Pioneer Members

For those who join within the first six weeks of the site’s launch, you will have the unique opportunity to submit questions to Michelle for each module’s live Q&A, typically held on the Friday after that module’s introduction.  There is only one Q&A session per module, so don’t miss this opportunity to ask Michelle anything relating that week’s module.

As stated on the Crowd Mountain website, “As a pioneer Crowd Mountain member, you’ll actually be able to attend the live session and ask your own, personal questions about the material and get answers directly from me.  Late comers will only get the recorded Q&A and will not be able to ask their personal questions.”

I participated in the Q&A for Module One (as of this writing, it is the only Q&A session that has been completed).  It was an excellent training session.  Those who were not able to participate will be able to listen to the call, and I am sure that it will be beneficial to just about all who listen to it.

Visit Crowd Mountain and decide if it is right for you.  I can honestly say that everything Michelle promises will be delivered, and then some.

Features

You can get either a free or a paid account to USFreeads.  As you might expect, the features are better with the paid account, but the free account is good, too.

There are three different memberships: free, gold, and premium. Here is a table listing the differences between these three memberships:

I have used USFreeads since 2007 and highly recommend them.  I get quite a bit of traffic from them, which does convert into sales.  The key is to do keyword research before creating an ad.  If you simply throw an ad up, with no thought to keywords, then you probably won’t get much traffic.

Additionally, I suggest using one of their paid memberships.  I tried the free membership before I upgraded to a paid one, and the difference in traffic was considerable.

One feature that I especially like is the ability to “auto renew” ads.  Ads run for a period of time, then expire.  The “auto renew” feature allows me to determine which ads I want to renew automatically, so they never expire.  This means I don’t have to log in to my account each month and look for expired ads that I want to continue running.

Creating ads is simple.  If you know HTML, then you can create an ad offline, with a program such as Dreamweaver, and copy/paste the code into your ad.  For those who do not know HTML, you can create ads on USFreeads very easily.  Ads can be previewed before completion, so you will know right away if anything needs to be tweaked.

If you are an affiliate marketer, then you should seriously consider opening an account with USFreeads.   They actually allow you to include affiliate links in your ads.  Many advertising sites do not allow the promotion of affiliate links, so this is a huge advantage when using USFreeads.

If you ever need to contact the people at USFreeads, then you may find yourself cursing their website.  Figuring out how to contact anyone at that site is challenging, at best.  The links are hidden deep within the site.  You can visit it at http://www.usfreeads.com/modules/info/contact.asp, with additional contact information available at http://www.usfreeads.com/modules/info/contact2.asp.  I have contacted them before and they responded right away.  My experience regarding contacting them was positive.  They were very receptive to my inquiry.

Pros and Cons of USFreeads

Cost and Licensing of USFreeads

• Free or Monthly Cost (cost depends on membership chosen: gold account is $10 per year and premium account is $9.99 per month)
• Gold membership allows up to 25 ads at a time, and Premium membership allows AS MANY ads as you want!

Comment Hut is one such tool. The purpose of Comment Hut is to search and find blogs and sites that allow you to leave comments that include a link back to your site.

You can use Comment Hut by entering a term that it will use to search any or all of the following site types: Drupal, HubPages, LiveJournal, Squidoo, TypePad, WordPress, and WordPress.com. Ideally, the term you enter should relate to the site you will link back to.

After you get your results, which can take a while if you entered a term that has a lot of results, you can then get the Page Rank for any given result. (Or, you can set a minimum Page Rank before you do your search, from 1 to 10, though don’t expect many results above PR4 or PR5). You can then export your results, to work on later, or you can click on a link to go straight to that site to leave comments on.

I have found that using Comment Hut is an easy way to get relevant backlinks. By that, I mean that the sites I comment on are similar to my site (the one I’m adding a backlink to), so the link is relevant in Google’s eyes. This program has done research that would have otherwise taken me hours to do.

Features

Saves you time when searching for related blogs and sites you can post your comments on. Comment Hut searches Google for up to 1000 results per platform (type of site being searched).  While unlikely, this means you could have up to 7,000 blogs or sites to comment on. Comment Hut only returns results from blogs that allow comments.

Comment Hut will sort the results of your search in order of Page Rank.  This allows you to find high ranking blogs and sites very easily.

Pros and Cons of Comment Hut

About the Developers

Comment Hut was created by Paul Forcey and Stewart Alexander, though my impression is that this is really Paul’s baby. I haven’t had any experience with Stewart, but I have been very impressed with Paul. There have been a few times I’ve needed to contact him and he responded within 24 hours. He has worked with me until he was sure all my questions were answered.
