All I know is it works for my sites. I can rank a site blackhatworld or whitehat, I choose the whitehat method because I actually like it,sorry if that's hard for you to believe! This post wouldn't be because of my criticism of ultimate demon previously right?
No idea who you are or that you criticised anything in the past. Quite happy to requote you. And thank you - and plus rep you. (which you'll see I've done)
UD and SEO accounts for about 5% of my online income, so you can say whatever you like. I'm just an affiliate - In this case an affiliate that uses and profits from this tool every day.
Any tool or service that can't take and accept criticism isn't worth it no matter what.
Here i'm known as the guy who sells Ultimate Demon, but if you go to other forums I'm the guy who sells golfing holidays in Portugal or car rentals in Berlin or sells camper vans in Michigan. Sure some of my sites predate link building altogether, I've had some sites since 1996 before Google. But now I use UD, hell I use SENUke, I use White hat, I use services, I write 60,000 words a week minimum myself, I create links all over the place.
I've been syndicated by Forbes, Bloomberg, CNN, The Huff Post and many others using White hat techniques amd show others how it's done

This was about 2 weeks ago. Not a "PR mention" but entire blog posts from my sites syndicated with multiple backlinks by serious authority sites. I can do this with minimum effort, In none SEO niches (specifically auto) this is really easy. SEO is the hardest as the people who syndicate you are very savvy about giving backlinks and know their value. But I can do it, and do it regularly (though not exactly to order)
So no point implying that I don't know or value or use White hat..you might as well teach your grandma to suck eggs.
Doesn't stop UD from being a really effective tool if used properly. If you don't get success from it maybe you don't use it properly
Doesn't stop the services that Moz provides from being hugely overpriced and the advice they give to be generic mush regurgitated over and over again.
These WH sites have talked about the end of link building techniques and every Google update since Dewey and Fritz as if it were the "anti spam messiah". They were wrong every time.
So wrong it beggars belief. They are like the "End is nigh" shouters who quote a date on their "A board", then the date comes and goes.... and they just paint on another date in the future and start again.
Don't they get sick of being wrong?
Aren't they embarrassed that people know that they are wrong and have been wrong over and over again?
I can only guess these people live in a special plastic bubble and never check serps.
Hell I'm pissed that SAPE links work! After all we've been told about content, contextm relevance, social proof.. all packed up and trashed by the fact that you can rank just about any site in any niche with empty no content - no relevance - no context links. Real high value keywords ranked and spanked in days.
Sites going from PR N/A to PR4 inside 90 days and Google doesn't bat an eyelid, just gives it top billing.
How fucking stupid is their algorithm if it can't spot that a one page affiliate site with 500 words of plagirised content is really REALLY unlikey to gain PR4 inside 90 days?
How do they think that is done with anything other than black hat techniques?
Yet Google has let this go for well over a year now, Penguin 1 and 2 have skipped right past them, Panda couldn't give a flying fuck about them, they keep accruing PR they keep gaining page 1 in Google for the most commercial terms based on these links and these links alone.
Not just the odd site here or there.. there are hundreds - thousands of these sites ranking with links that have no content around them, placed on sites with no relevance to the topic of the target site, using SWL in some cases..none of that seems to matter one iota to Goole, Panda, Penguin..nothing. Thick shit algorithm missed the lot.
They top SERPS for massive keywords and cash in for a year or more on nothing but links that have no content and no context and are 100% irrelevant to the niche.
Shit that makes me look like a dumb twat as I was sure by now at least context stood for something.. Seems sometimes against really powerful PR links that doesn't matter a jot.
I'm aware it's dangerous and yes the network will likely go down in a few months or a year or so whatever, but by then some of these sites will have raked 100's of times their investment back for the owners and they won't give a fuck - they'll stop paying, ditch the sites with a wallet full of cash - and move on. I'm sure the guys and gals at moz will have another hallelujah day then as well and claim that's the end of some epoch. Equally sure they'll be wrong - as they always have been in the past
The take away? Moz is a rip off spinning the same regurgitated nonsense month after month.
Scritty
