Source-Wave/Alex Becker

His main quality product is source infinitum and I have used his techniques with my own twists and it works but it will burn a hole in your pocket buying pr5 domains. Also, he has increased the competition in PR domains and its now not easy to get domains out of pr powershot.

All in all he reminds me of Howie Schwartz - great charisma and good knowledge but once it was outed to public the knowledge became obsolete as everybody was doing it. He knows it so he is hard balling the stuff now and launching new products at speed of sound to get all the moolah before it all collapses.

hope this was helpful

I actually started deleting his emails after he keeps resending me the same content over again but Alex just changed the title of the email (on how he ranked 1 website for the "bleach" and "naruto" keyword).

The first few emails were pretty helpful until they just ran dry and he also says in his emails that there won't be any "selling" but obviously under his videos there is a big link to his products.

Another thing, he makes millions from SEO but I doubt he makes millions from ranking websites when actually most of his income is made from his SEO products.

Other than that, Alex is actually a pretty cool guy. Just that, the way he runs his business is how every info product owner runs theirs.

The website seems to be down.

There is some good info on his blog. After that he is just a car salesman that tells you twenty times every minute that he doesn't want to sell you anything and talking about his success the rest of the time.

Then he is going to show you how he ranked an awesome keyword (with 600 searches per month that nobody targets) with just one link (and when you research that one link is 17000).

Hey there fellow Black Hatters! Does anyone know about/has anyone used Alex Beckers SEO programs before? His website is http://souce-wave.com. He has a few different SEO programs, like Source Omega that he offers his website members. This guy does send a lot of emails that always talk about how he isn't giving us any "fluff" and no "sales" or "bs" but that he always give quality content. Some of the stuff is helpful and insightful but I just don't know if I want to invest any money in his programs without hearing from you guys first....So, any thoughts here guys and gals??

I am member of his membership too and personally I think that "Source Omega" can give you more or less everything he shared so far about SEO and ranking in 2013. So there is nothing wrong to invest in Source Omega if you want to know how Alex rank's sites...

What about his "Source Autopilot" has anyone tried ranking a site with this service? I wouldn't buy his course at all anyways...Most of what he says can be learned right here on BHW

RANKINGS: I have used Source Autopilot in an attempt to improve ranking for three websites. FAIL! This service damaged rankings in a major way.

SUPPORT: The worst customer support I've experienced from any vendor. First they couldn't get the initial start-up billing right.

INEPT or DECEPTIVE?: When it became clear that Autopilot did not work, I discovered that there was no option available for clients to cancel the service.

CONTINUED BILLING: When I finally did get a response acknowledging my cancellation request they said to just "cancel my subscription" in PayPal. I did so but Source Autopilot has continued to bill me anyway.

CONTINUED LINKBUILDING: Despite my not paying them and my repeated requests to cancel, Source Autopilot continues to build links. And my rankings continue to fall.

I've requested that Source Autopilot take down all links built to my sites; I have received no response.

P.S. Source Autopilot should consider advertising their linkbuilding for NEGATIVE SEO. It certainly DOES work in that way :-(

He claims to make millions from SEO so I looked up some of his websites to see if I could learn anything. I found about 40 of his websites (he leaves HUGE footprints - pretty amateur for a SEO "expert") and I didn't see anything impressive. Just a bunch of thin, low quality websites, most aren't ranking for anything. He certainly doesn't make "millions" from SEO. Most of his income comes from getting newbies to hand him money for his courses.

He's very charismatic and he's good at ranking for looney toon keywords with zero competition to impress newbies but that's about it. I would advise you not to waste your money on him or any other make money online "guru".

I follow SW extremely closely. He actually had the best selling SEO product on JVZoo EVER, and he just put out his income report. He does in fact make millions from SEO (the industry, but not CPA or anything like that).

With that said, you summed it up perfectly. He's very charismatic. His Omega course is good for beginners, but everything you need to know is one the blog. He has a huge PR network, so Source Autopilot does get results for many clients. But yeah, I have a free membership to his Infinitum forum and wouldn't pay for it. Dynasty is a whole nother deal, it's more about high end client SEO, not rankings. Re: his footprint, he doesn't release his competitive keywords on the blog, and makes it public that he doesn't care when trolls blast the sites he talks about publicly. And I agree with the guy above, his customer support after you pay is non-existent until you process a dispute or chargeback, then they come to life.

He's quite possibly the best SEO information marketer out there. Consider that more of a warning than an endorsement.

Always be careful of income claims, in a majority of cases anyone that claims to be making $x millions often isn't making anywhere close to that.

And even if they are grossing millions their profit margins are often abysmal.

It is sad though that people regard his information as the best information out there. Many of the popular seo "experts" that have blogs really are some of the most novice. Such a shame.

Be careful before buying Becker's services !

I bought his AUTOPILOT linkbuilding program in May 2013 and i was watching closely the links they were supposed to build.
This service is a complete scam to be honest. His team did not build a single backlink during the first month. When I contacted SUPPORT there was no reply, or some b.s. about SEO takes time you should not expect results in first month. Hahaha because they did not build a single backlink.

Then I asked for a refund providing the evidence that they did not build a single backlink and my site did not move up. I can not afford to waste $127/month if they do not deliver. Again I was ignored. Then I had to take it up with PayPal and filed a complaint against Becker. Luckily I got my refund after involving PayPal.

in May 2013 I had also chance to review for free the forum INFINITUM, it is not worth paying $50/month for that information, all valuable information is given for free on his blog. What was funny that someone opened a thread with reviews about AUTOPILOT service and Becker came and closed that thread.

He can impress the noobs yes, but all he is teaching is nothing else than building High PR network.

I would be carefull buy any stuff from him. Bought SEO Zen and it's a crappy plugin for silo in worpdress.
Ask a refund immediatly and he never want to refund said the tools work fine. Found a lot of forum post about it.

All ticket exchange with him and his staff was always to try not said they don't want refund ... Maybe training is good, but he is very unfair on his other sale ! Feel to be scam as others customers think the same ... (at least 6-7 peoples report the same)

I signed up for a new product he is promoting sourcelandlord.com. It basically is a cloaked splog where they use Iframes to redirect to another site. I wanted to give it a try to see if I could redirect some traffic to a lead gen site I was just creating.

Problem is, I didn't get my site created and working until 2 days before the first re-bill date so I was going to cancel and write it off as another stupid attempt on my part to chase a new shiny object. But someone from sourcelandlord.com called me and said they would skip the next billing so I could have my full 30 days to test it out. But like everyone else has been indicating, they apparently just care about getting their money and they just re-billed me today, $197 after having their site operational for 2 days. No long term customer relationship building going on, big red flag.

I already filed a dispute with paypal, but sounds like I shouldn't hold my breathe and just go ahead and escalate it to a claim.

I joined Infinitum to see if there was any useful information, but it is all about buying High PR domains and building your own PBN so not anything new.

I think Ranga sumed it up perfectly "All in all he reminds me of Howie Schwartz - great charisma and good knowledge but once it was outed to public the knowledge became obsolete as everybody was doing it. He knows it so he is hard balling the stuff now and launching new products at speed of sound to get all the moolah before it all collapses."

Update .... I guess the dispute plus posting in a few places got me in contact with someone from sourceland and they have already issued me a refund and are looking into my redirecting issue. Keywords are very easy, but they literally got a few thousand pages ranked in a couple of days and I already have a lot of 1st page rankings for fairly easy keywords. Works just like a splog should work..now just need to get the cloaking to forward correctly and I will be all set to test this puppy for the next 30 days. At least this product is very different from anything I have seen yet. The system will actually let you rent out each page and will let someone automatically sign up and pay for it via a plugin they have. I am just redirecting all the pages to a leadgen site so I can track and capture the traffic for leads.

I read almost all the post Alex pointed out yet and mostly he focus on how to find untapped kws

well suggest some experts you know
we might get some quality info of them

if you observe all these seo gurus out there you will notice a common pattern. they say whatever everyone says but they talk about it in a "teaching" manner. They compile everything and then serve it to you for a custom price.

It is not useless but it is overpriced. I would invest only if i had the money and not the time to learn all of these on my own.

Keep away for his new product Source ROI, its just same old wine in new bottle and he is selling it for $500 a piece. It does not have more than 5% new content other than what is already covered in Infinitum

Alex Becker and Crew are a waste of money. This is only MY opinion but it's from a real experience. I had such a bad experience that I was going to do a review on them, did a search and found this post first.

I joined their starter fighter package at $199/mo for 2 sites back in Jan. They didn't even put us on their "network' the first month, hahahaha. If I had not checked out the report that they sent late, I would've never known. (How can they send a report to a client who isn't even on their network yet???? OH, they send it to everyone.....Great!) They don't give you a full report, they give you like 2-4 links and one of the sites was down, so strike 2. They gave me a free month for their screw up but that was only the beginning.

I asked their team for a little assistance with keywords for a new site. It took someone over 3 weeks to get back to me and he had no clue what keywords I had already input into their system because "he couldn't see it." Needless to say I received ZERO help.

The final straw was the past month (MAY).......When I got my late report again with my 4 "sample" links I discovered that 1. They misspelled my domain on ALL the links. 2. One of the sites wasn't even up (again). 3. IF they even created more than 4 links, they were ALL jacked up. So no backlinks, no link juice and no traffic. Basically I got ripped off.

Bottom line is that at 5 or $899/mo, you might get better service and they might pay better attention to what they are actually doing (or someone else might be doing it) but at the $199 level, Buyer Beware! I would NOT recommend this service to anyone. My guess is that tons and tons of people are wasting their money, don't check their links and are essentially getting ripped off.

FO3D

I wouldnt pay for any of his courses, his free giveaways may be a good insight. He is a good marketer though for whom making newbies spend towards his courses is as easy as a pie.

Ya i signed up for his services for a month zero movement on any keyword GARBAGE

i have the paid stuff which free downloaded somewhere. i would say it's not even worth.

it gives you valuable insight / tips similar but totally waste to spend money there.

SourceWave material is great for newbies and excellent for those building their first PBN.
