@Pratik completely forgot about that, do you have any resources or links to somewhere with correct set up to block ahrefs and majestic kind of of places?
@2take2, which thread do you tell more about your 1,000 links blast. What platforms are they?
@gooner, when you use contextual, what is the distribution like - would most of it be articles that are verified? (that's what I'm getting)
Regarding your use of Web 2.0s, can you send me the fiverr guy? Also, how do you do your articles - do you get one written for you then word/phrase spin them and post them out to about 20-30 others? Or how do you do them?
Do you have problems with using fiverr - since it may be automation or all from the same ip, I'm wondering whether the web 2.0s tracks that and brings those blogs down. Also, have you had problems with blogs taken down?
@Wizzardly - I am always looking for great web 2.0 services. I need you to explain something...Why would you create the accounts in AutoFillMagic, and then move them to Rankwyz? Why not just let Rankwyz handle it start to finish? (I'm not getting why you are doing that)
Also, please tell us about AutoFill from the inside. Is it anything like they have it on their sales page? I had this site bookmarked for a couple of months, and forgot to follow up on it. It looks great on the outside, but how many times has that happened before, lol.
@ron - you can test autofill for 7 days for free (search thread in bhw). It can create accounts really well, but adding info is not as convenient as I would like to. Bough a copy of fcs networker and hope to fill the gaps with it. Also, they still haven't implemented auto verify feature, so you have to go to email and push on the links web 2.0 are sending.
Yeah, I just took a closer look, and it appears to be more of a semi-automated account creator. I thought it took you from A-Z like Rankwyz. It still is something I bookmarked.
It could be nice if you have found .gov, .edu or any other sites that are not supported in ser, rankwyz etc. You can just push autofill magic and it fills all the fields.
Always looking for great Web 2.0 services as well. Can someone shed more light on RankWyz? I mean are accounts created by themselves? And we just submit our articles and they'll be posted automatically?
@jonathanjon - The fiverr guy uses proxies to create accounts so all good, i will PM you the link. For content i use article builder. You can either create individual articles or you can create a massive 20 spun article and then use some free online spin software to create a unique article each time. Both works.
I don't target any keywords with those web 2.0s - I'm not trying to rank them, just trying to get nice contextual link juice from them.
Very few get deleted, unless the site closes down etc. Maybe i am just lucky there :S
^^^ Same as....Have you been logging into my VPS again @gooner? :P
jonathanjon - you will need to have a play around and work out what works best for you, although if you want the ranking to last, then I would generally avoid blog comments as they will probably erode the trust of the site over time.
@gooner will all depend how easy it is to build the da, cf, and tf of these web 2.0s really.
Would be cool if ser could let us post links on sites based on there domain authority, citation flow and trust flow wouldn't it?!
The main problem with posting on base of DA and such would be low LPM as its very time consuming and not to mention there is great limit and time taken by Moz to report that data. IMHO not worth. Employ proper techniques and you'll see the results.
Try to variate things. For example, don't just blindly go for contextual. Set a bland for some properties if needed. For example I just realized this when someone negative SEO'd my site today by over-backlinking one type of anchor text. I only had contextual tier built links to my MS. So it was not possible just to blast another 1K contextual links as they take a lot of time. So then I thought blasting out other type of links is also good and natural variation in Google's eyes. So experiment it. If a project doesn't work as it should, try new possibilities like these, don't be feared to invent. Edison failed 1000 times but he succeeded at last.
@ron sounds like you took a closer look, but as to the reason why I am creating accounts manually using autofillmagic.
I wouldn't say that AFM is the only way that I create accounts. It has a few specific purposes for specific sites.
First, Rankwyz and any other completely automated account creators only cover so many sites or platforms. AFM can be used to create accounts on lesser used and lesser spammed platforms.
Second, accounts created manually are less likely to be deleted in my experience. I actually prefer to use systems that are heavily policed because it makes it a better neighborhood to get links from. I've been involved with a lot of work on fraud prevention. So when I think about these things I try to think about them like a mathematician would because that is what we are fighting. When people talk about accounts being deleted they usually seem to talk about human moderation. But in reality, most of the larger platforms are doing very little if any human moderation. It's all math. So creating the accounts in a manual (but semi automated) way and changing the profile and the settings all manually creates the proper signals in their data tables so I look real. Page load times, time on pages, time to submit form, javascript detection scripts, etc etc. I think the last fraud detection algo I was involved with had a couple hundred data points it looked at for each order.
The tougher one to deal with is algos that look at posting patterns as I still refuse to manually post content, at least in bulk. That and people flagging your content as spam which might lead to actual human review. But AFM does offer content posting, but again, it is just a semi-automated manual posting process.
That being said, buy the living crap out of paid accounts and use them and abuse them. Soon you will figure out which sites you can do whatever you want with and fully automate all day long. Then look at the sites that you get deleted on, and do some math on their value vs investment required to go semi or full manual.
@Wizzardly Excellent post. Which industry you've worked btw for fraud prevention? We will be looking in future for a company that me and my partner is setting up which needs to deal with a lot of fraud as well. Would be interested to hear, if you'd like to shoot me a PM!
I am the developer of Autofill Magic and one of the main reasons to create a semi automated tool was to achieve a higher success and stick rate. And I think it is fair to say that it makes a difference to use semi automation over total automation. When I create 100 accounts 95 or more will still be alive 6 month later. I have never seen that with any automated tool.
This week or the next we release version 1.8.0 that add email verification. That will speed up the account creation process a lot. We are also adding an option to add your own email filters so you can add your own rules for what links to click. And then there is feature to send an email to a list for 'manual action'. Some sites sends the password in an email or a verification code that you need to enter. Most automated tools just skip these mails since there is nothing tom click and the verification will fail. But with Autofill Magic you can filter out these mails and take the proper action. Again that will give a much higher success rate.
Regarding posting... We have a few things up our sleeves that will improve this process greatly.
I've been playing with Rankwyz. I've got the cheap plan - under $10 per month. It is very powerful, but the software isn't very intuitive, the documentation is non-existent, and the support/forum isn't nearly as good as this one. @2take2 knows rankwyz pretty well. Getting a tutorial today.

URL 50%
Generic 35%
Then i add about 10 keywords, some are main keywords, LSI, general and also brand keywords and that will be the remaining 15%
Another thread on here suggested any type of keyword anchor should be below 20% and i agree with that.
@ron is testing 0% keyword anchor i believe
