Update on SubmitEdge Case Study

Niche Sites November 18th, 2009 | 1 Comment »

This is an update for my original SubmitEdge Case Study post from earlier this month.

Alright so the SubmitEdge case study did not go so great.  I cannot say that I would recommend SubmitEdge for major link building stuff.  In short, I do recommend their service for submitting to directories but as of now I would not recommend their niche link building service and below is why.

Basically I spent $170 on 10 one way relevant links from PR2 or higher sites to one of my niche sites using SubmitEdge.  To start off they only allow two different anchor texts and only allow links to one page.  I didn’t mind this because, relatively speaking, the price is pretty low.  I submitted my two anchor texts and the link I wanted to point to and waited for my report from SubmitEdge detailing the sites mine was submitted to.  Ten days after submitting my order I get my detailed report of backlinks and the first thing I did was visit one of the sites.  This is a small screen shot of what I saw:

SubmitEdge Links

You can click the image to make it bigger. Basically the page is a small farm of links that would not pass any kind of human inspection by Google or other search engines. I visited the other sites and they were more of the same. Bad news for my site. I am by no means no expert as far as what happens with a human visual inspection but best case scenario, if one of these sites were to get reported and looked over by a Google employee they would penalize the link farm and disregard any links given out (I’m out $170.) Worst case scenario? All the sites being linked to would get deindexed (ouch.)

So this is a fairly new site I submitted and I plan on burying these shady links with UAW links and lots of other link building strategies so I’m not to worried about it.  Will I use SubmitEdge again for building these types of links?  No.  I will stick with their directory submission service but this niche link building thing is not their forte.

Next post I will discuss a better way to spend $170 or so on link building and get much more for your money.

Where to begin with your Niche Site Building

The first thing you want to do if you are completely new to building niche sites is to decide if it is what you really want to do. Many people decide to start with niche sites for the wrong reasons and so don't fully understand what is involved, specifically the work it takes to succeed with this business. It is very difficult to get going with niche sites, especially when you don't have another source of income online. If you were sold on the idea of building these types of site by someone telling you it is easy and automated then you were sold false information. Making your first dollar with this type of business can take some time and be very discouraging.

If you understand this and still want to get going making money online by building niche websites than the next step is to sign up for The Keyword Academy and watch all the videos that Mark and Court have in the members area. It very literally costs one dollar to do this and is by the far the best investment for anyone looking to capitalize on the amazing opportunity of making money online.

There are thousands of internet marketers out there looking to take your hard earned money and feed you outdated, irrelevant information. They have crappy sales pages that offer you the moon in exchange for only $149 $99! But you have to act fast because that offer will end in five minutes! Look most of us who have been doing this for any period of time have spent money on a program or information that turned out to be completely useless. I have taken it as money well spent, an investment in fact! I now have a clearer understanding of what I should spend my money on and what I should be leery about.

I would never advise you to spend money unless I believed that you would absolutely love what you got in return. The Keyword Academy is a no brainer. One dollar will get you going on the right track to earning long term, residual income. What are you waiting for?
