Backlink/ SEO Service Test

with 2 comments


I was talking with a friend the other day about finding a good backlink service to use.  He mentioned finding a thread on warriorforum.com where the Electron Plumber took the time to test a bunch of backlinking services.  As much as I love the test Electron did, and found it a fascinating read, it did not give me exactly what I was looking for.

Where as Electron tested services like Build My Rank, which by the way is the one he found to be the most effective in his test.  My personal issue with backlink services like these is that they still require me to do some work.  I need to add articles or snippets or whatever.  I am far to lazy for this.

What I want to know is what is the best hands off backlinking service for under $100 a month.  A completely outsourced backlinking option.  My desire is for one that gives me at least 3 keywords to work with, and the ability to have them use a few urls instead of one is a bonus.  I want to give them the urls and the keywords and let them have at it.  My only involvement should be checking the stats.

To that end, I have one service I am pretty confident on using and two that are good options, but I need at least two more to fill out the test.  I will be testing a total of five of these services.

For the test, I registered 5 brand new domain names to keep the test pure.  Each domain is a .com and multiple words.  All have a hyphen in them.  For example: seobloodhound-test.com vs. seo-bloodhoudtest.com etc.  Obviously these are not my domains, but all 5 have a hyphen and all 5 have the exact same words in the url.

I have also ordered 25 articles pertaining to my chosen niche.  They are all from the same writer to maintain purity of the test, and they will be randomly assigned to the domains.

All 5 domains are hosted in completely different hosting accounts for IP diversity.  Right now I am waiting for some DNS issues to resolve so I can finish adding the hosting and begin filling the content.

My goal is to update this weekly or biweekly depending on how much the results move in a given amount of time.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them below, I would love to hear them.  Also, if you know a service and would like to recommend it, let me know that as well.
