Anyone using ArticleRanks?

Is anyone using ArticleRanks blog network?

If you are, what are your thoughts on it?

Please do NOT ruin this thread by preaching about how blog networks are dead and it is a waste to use them. I don't care. I believe short term SEO plans are just as important as long term SEO plans.

 

I tried it out for a month..

It's no good at all for those wondering...

 

Any alternative?

 

I have been using ArticleRanks for more than a year. They started using diverse content syndication platforms which is really good! The only downside is, the articles are dripped out very slowly!

 

I had a site in their network, and the quality of the articles were total garbage.

 

Everything about them looked great on paper - they diversified their platforms, allowed promotions of videos, etc.

I didn't even mind the slow dripping of articles because you could add more articles if you need more links being built.

I found that it was a waste of perfectly good articles. I tested the effectiveness of the links on 3 sites. Most of them dropped in ranking or just stayed the same.

 

Didn't like my experience with them..

 

I used it for 3 months back then but it showed no result, please choose other vendor I think
