A new thread has cropped up about a new Scrapebox service called Rankuply. They provide, allegedly, a new method that brings in longer-lasting, better-quality links. Whether or not it's different than any other Scrapebox service, I don't know, but I was impressed with them being able to bring a domain registered in APRIL to position #8 for "wordpress themes" (exact search: 90k local, 246k global). Plus they offer a package that provides 10k to 30k links (you choose) per week for only $22.99 per month. Can't really go wrong there.

I'm going to test this out over a 3 month period on my site about electric cigarettes. I have used many services from this forum on the site - many had no effect whatsoever, others barely had any effect, and the others that made big improvements only lasted a few days.

Site History
I have achieved ranking up to pages 6-8 for "electric cigarette," my main keyword, but not for long. I now float in 15-25, though lately I've been staying in higher ranks. I used to rank for my other 3 keywords, but not anymore.

Plans
The duration of this case study will last 3 months, with the Rankuply account exclusively dedicated to this domain. I don't know the frequency of Rankuply's reports, but I will upload them when they come. I will also update the Analytics PDF weekly, as I stated before.

Rank updates will be posted every day.

After 3 months, I will evaluate before and after stats, how well I think the service did on its own and compared to other services I have used, and if I plan to continue using the service.

Goals
The site is monetized, currently, with a $34 payout trial electric cigarette CPA offer. I hope to achieve a rank high enough to get 3-4 leads per day. However, the main priority of this case study is to see how well this service can improve a rank and bring in traffic.

Hey,

Let's see how you're doing and if their "secret" method really works :)

All the best!
 
Thread has been closed, do you know what happened?
 
i can provide you a pack of blog post to my network.(about 20 websites) for free. PM me if you interested.
 
Hmmmm looks like the guy has been banned. I bought a package from him too.

PM'ed BigBuddy to see if we can find out what is going on.

EDIT:

He was selling his service without approval from staff members. So issued one month ban.

BB.

Yeah, looks like their thread is closed, but the service is live, and they will be starting my project soon, so I will keep you guys updated as far as the actual service's performance is concerned.

Glad to hear it, i see that they have great service. Then I will start my project:D:D
 
I got a blast and the service sound good actually.
But after I
1. removed duplicate URLs + Domains
2. checked against my URL
3. and checked outbount link count

I was left with ~900 pieces, where as 70% is +200 OBL links to <10.000+

So, an automatic Scrapebox solution? More like, but definitely not something extremely new.

Some sort of SB-Dripable version, which could be used for auto-backlinking web 2.0 properties, profiles, etc.

Ranking Report
Electric Cigarette - #166
Electronic Cigarette - #174
E-Cig - #153
E-Cigarette - Not in top 500

Why the rise in the second in third keywords, I don't know. But I did expect my first and main keyword to drop because that's usually what happens when you randomly start blasting a site with 3000 links per day.

As for the service, communication is fast and professional. However, I don't very much like how they send out reports via getflow.com instead of a proprietary user platform. I can't see my reports because Flow has a monthly fee and I don't want to pay that. I can see the comments they add to my project to let me know when they are sending out links, etc.
 
Ranking Report
Sorry for the lack of updates. Not much movement, so I haven't updated. New Analytics will be uploaded tomorrow. Here are the current ranks:

Electric Cigarette - #165 (+1)
Electronic Cigarette - #176 (-2)
E-Cig - #146 (+7)
E-Cigarette - Not in top 500

Are you using linklicious alongside this service?
I use it on the reports that allow me to copy the links. Some reports are in PDF while others are in TXT. Not sure why they are inconsistent.

So how long does it take to get a report?
Reports are delivered daily because they push links daily.
