Since reading part one of my review on linking tools I am sure you have been chomping at the bit for more info about Build My Rank.

Ok let’s start with the data that I have collected and then go from there

  • 47 posts
  • 5 keywords (although 1 of those words only got used once)
  • 45 are indexed
  • PR1 = 8
  • PR2 = 24
  • PR3= 11
  • PR4= 4

The keyword/post split isn’t very even.

  • Keyword 1 = 3 posts
  • Keyword 2 = 8 posts
  • Keyword 3 = 24 posts
  • Keyword 4 = 11 posts
  • Keyword 5 = 1 post

I suppose I could also break down the  posts to pr and I may do that for the next report.

The links were all done in January with the earliest ones being done on the 8th and the last one done on the 23rd. So these links are not hugely old.

So Far

  • Keyword 1 is ranking at 61
  • keyword 2 is ranking at 96

This is not exactly shining a sparkling light on the system is it..lol
However I think it does need some more time and more work from me before I can give my final thoughts.

Carry On
I want to carry on this test but to try and make this test a bit more organized and fair I am going to narrow the test down to 3 keywords, keyword 2, 3 and 4 and do more links for them over the next week. I will get keyword 2 and 4 to a position where they have 24 links each and then move forward from there.

Thing to note
I have been using BMR on some more established sites along site EZAL and Postrunner and have seen a nice move up the rankings for them. The other sites are in much harder niches but the sites are older and have had some substantial amounts of article marketing done for them.

My feeling is that the BMR links have been enough to push them up the ranks, but it isn’t working too well for ranking as a stand alone item. We may see a move soon and I will keep on plugging away and keep sharing.
