The "oh ***** the network just got deindexed by Google" thread will be a busy one in about 3 months time.

Indeed, totally agree. This is not a time for a 5k blog networks.

So I guess the solution is... to buy the software program mentioned in your signature?

Honestly? I think it is one of the best solutions available at the moment. I have been at it for last 4 months and it works.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but seriously, think about it - it does make a perfect sense, especially if you already have your own sites and want to be in control.

What is the indexation rate at the moment for Article Ranks?

I have been using Link Authority and it appears that the links from there are some of the only ones I have still indexed!

Has anyone used this recently and found it to be useful?

[neil_patmore]

I added 10 articles into Article Ranks to get some raw data of performance before all this blog network deindexing drama started.

I just checked the results and 41 links are currently indexed, all on pages with Page Rank N/A which is to be expected because all posts would have fallen from the home page by now.

Out of the 41 indexed links, domain PR is as follows - PR3 x 3, PR2 x 5, PR1 x 5, PR0 x 23 and PRN/A x 5. The articles were all posted on February 26 2012.

Hope this data helps :-)

Thanks! That's really helpful - and those results sound good to me.

I have been looking for a way to get some article distribution that stays indexed since the whole thing with the blog networks happened. I'm probably going to sound a bit stupid, but how did you get 41 indexed links out of 10 articles posted? (I have not used AR before, just doing some research on it! sorry)

[neil_patmore]

Not a stupid question at all :-)

I put one link into each article and each article was submitted between 27 - 30 times. 10 x 30 = 300 potential links. After 2 months 41 of those links have stuck and are still indexed.

Hope this helps !

Thank you very much for your kind help Neil!

So, are you people saying one can still use AR after the ALN and general blog network fuckup?
Because I have a bit of credits to spend there.

similar questions, as so do i
i read the op statement above as to why ar/la are different than aln but...still seems G will target it all the same in the long run

[neil_patmore]

I would think it's only a matter of time before AR is also hit. I'd be looking at alternative methods of link building. Google isn't about to U turn and decide that public blog networks are OK now.

I think anyone using AR or any other spinning network should be using them as tier 2 links now - Using them as tier 2's work just as well and it stops the site from getting penalised as only trusted sites will link back to you

[NegativeSEOTest]

I would not use AR to link to my money site at this point. I *may* use it to link to some tier 2 sites though. I have about 5800 credits I need to spend somehow...

[DamnedFreak]

I think AR allows only to link to 6 different domains.
Bit of a shame, because I have also still a few thousands credits to spend there.
