[SEO Testing] Does Cloud Stacks Works?

[0xse0]

Do you wanna know if cloud stacks works?

I'm going to run a test.

This is the setup:



5 Cloud Stacks:
1. Amazon
2. Google Cloud
3. Blackblaze
4. Azure
5. IBM

All of them interlinked to avoid orphan clouds, and all of them pointing to the Money Site.

I'm going to start with 5 clouds. I still don't know if this works, so if I see a positive movement I'll add more clouds (5).

Test 1.
Keyword: Local Keyword (Web Design in City)
Initial Position: 13

Test 2.
Keyword: High Difficulty, competing with high DR Websites. (Dating)
Initial Position: 11

Test 3.
Keyword: National Keyword (Museums)
Position: Not found in top 100.

For this last test, I know that the page is not in top 100 because it's a new domain, so if this links works, maybe we can see the page moving in top 100.

Done.

This is my first post in the forum, if you have any ideas, please comment.

I'll share the update next week.

Only heard of Google stacking and it's not that powerful now

Interested in your cloud stacking to see if it works

[UPDATE]

Hi guys,

Unfortunately, I haven't seen ANY movement from the pages, they are kind of static.

At this stage, I have to say that Cloud Links doesn't work. BUT, as far as I know, it takes about 2 weeks to see the effects of links.

So, what I'll do is wait.

Next week I'll post more updates on this.

Thanks

It's definitely too early to see any movement in SERPs, but... I have to say that I have been using cloud links for a longer time and as for me they don't work at all. Maybe my niches are too competitive, but still, I should have seen some improvement for long tails, but nothing. I was even building t2-3 links into these cloud links, indexing everything, but there were no results.
To be honest it's easy for Google to make these cloud sites "zero power"...

Hey man, I was actually looking into cloud links and someone pointed me to your post.

my 2 cents: I would suggest to not interlink your cloud pages, it is a major footprint if your backlinks link to each other, regardless of whether you have low or high quallity links.

Why not tier them instead? your links will be a lot more powerful that way.

P.S. are these links permanent? or do they get deleted after some time when the cloud account expires / when you don't pay for it or something?

Thanks!

Test 3.

which country are the keywords?
also, it seems the competition is almost nothing as you are already at #11 and #13 so it should be easy to reach the top

Hi guys, I have some good news for you regarding Cloud Stacks.

1. Set up Cloud Accounts are pain in the ***
Most of the companies ask you to add your Credit Card, without credit card they do NOT allow you to use the service.

2. S3 Storage is EXPENSIVE!
I have to say I was going to QUIT because all the requirements to set up the accounts, but heck, I said "If this is hard could be something good".

One of the account does NOT charge you for the Space, but FOR THE TIME!

$5 a month, just for one account.

I'm going to wait the first charge to my bank account and I will be ready to close the account.
-

*** UPDATE! ***

1. I have not seen any movement

Unfortunately I have not seen any movement in the serps, but I'm not going to quit.

2. I'm adding 5 new accounts!

I'm thinking that just 5 accounts could not be effective, that's why I'm adding 5 new accounts, I'm almost ready.
-

Conclusion:
Because all of the investment in time, money, resources and effort, I'm going to build Stacks for all my accounts.

So, we'll see how this goes!

Like and comment if you want me to keep giving updates on the project.

 

[mindeswx]

How many pages do you set up? Because from what I have seen people do at least a couple hundred per cloud provider

 

[Janis99]

I am not sure if you will see the results you expected without building another tier of links to the cloud pages.

Options to test would be Scrapebox comments, GSA links, and Web 2.0s or even another tier of cloud pages with lower quality links pointing at them.

 

[RA007]

Any updates on your test results?

 

[RA007]

GSA / RankerX T2 & T3 links you mean while T1 is these cloud sites?

I am just wondering these are just 15-20 cloud sites so damn easy for google to figure it out....how it still works (if it does) is baffling to me

 

[0xse0]

Hi.

In my opinion Google won't penalize you for having 20 links from Cloud Sites, even if is "easy" to figure out.

I don't think there is an algorithm to detect "cloud stacking techniques", because at some point it works.

The BIG PROBLEM or challenge right now is that there are really high authority domains ranking for the keywords that generate revenue, so, if you are a brand new domain and you build 20 cloud links, I doubt you will rank.

I think that we could re-run this test but for a keyword where there are no links involved, and checking if these links have an effect.

Any update here or final update?

Hi guys, I know that after months of doing this SEO Test on Cloud Links you are excited to know the results, right?

Cloud Links are POWERFUL! But... You are not going to get results with just with a few of them, you need more...

1. Cloud Links index and rank very well even for your target keyword.
2. Cloud Links could be used not just for Tier links but even as Parasite SEO.

If you want to use Cloud Links to Boost your Money Page you need more, not just five as in this Test.

Here is proof of one of my Cloud Links ranking for my target keyword:

-

In conclusion:
1. Cloud Links are as good as Foundation Links. If you are trying to rank for a very high-competition keyword you are not going to make it just with Cloud Links. You need more power.
2. If you are trying to rank for a low-competition keyword Cloud Links are good to go!
-

What's Next?

I'm expanding right now to all of the possible platforms that I could get, ideally 18 cloud.

Just bear in mind that these platforms are EXPENSIVE.

You could have just a 3KB file they are going to charge you $5 a month.
Do the math: 10 platforms are $50 a month, for 12 months: $600.00

They are expensive but I'm going to make the investment.
