Review Time:
First, I've used DFB for a wHile so I have a reference. I actually started a thread about it here:
http://www.wickedfire.com/traffic-content/106572-my-current-drip-feed-blast-plan.html
Ok, I let all of my links sit for a few days before checking them out to help get a picture how sticky these links are. Combined all 3 trial days worth together and got the following data:
- 1555 profile attempts. (only supposed to get 900, so awesome over delivery)
- 1374 successful profiles
- 113 of these were duplicate domains ( That is on par with DFB)
Of those 1374 profiles, 684 had my link with an anchor text. Right about half.
Next I run those successful links with my anchor to check domain PR. I check the only ones that I care about and get the following
- 6 PR5 links
- 5 PR4 links
- 48 PR3 links. For a total of 70 links
I run the non-anchored links to find anything of value and find a PR8 link, a few PR7's and a couple of .edu.xx links. (I guess they count more than regular links even with the .xx at the end)??
I add those to my high PR anchored links and get 76 links that I will work on getting indexed. These anchors are all diverse and are on que with my long-tail plan from the link above.
My final verdict: A+. Honestly, and I don't really even like saying this, but I think this is a little better service then DFB. I personally believe that there seems to be a little more link diversity and better pr links. This is NOT fact and it is NOT documented. This is just from what i happened to have paid attention to.
As for the argument of blastbank ripping off DFB? Totally 100% copied. But... This is a business, and in business there is going to be competition. This service is basically just the same as all the generic brands found in all supermarkets. If something is working, someone will come along and do it for cheaper. I don't think Guerrilla would disagree with me (although I don't know the guy), i'm sure he expected it at some time.
I'm confident that this will create better competition and someone will come out with a improved product (indexing help or a pinger guys?)
Cheers
