As promised, I completed my testing of the product offered at Nuke4Me.com (affiliate link). You’ll probably remember from my first Nuke4Me Review blog post that this product promises to create massive amounts of backlinks to your website by using the SENuke product for you.

In other words, you provide the links and anchor text that you want to promote and the Nuke4Me people will run SENuke for you on their servers with their content creating link wheels, web 2.0 profiles, RSS feeds and other things that SENuke does.  This is very attractive because all you have to do is sit there and wait for your Google rankings to increase.

So this all sounds great. One issue is that the service is a little bit on the expensive side at $297 per month for the top level plan.  I decided, however, that if this really worked it might be well worth it.   Here are the membership levels.  I chose Gold.

My goal was to pick three underperforming websites and see if I could increase their performance enough to pay for the cost of the service. If I could do that then I would have completely paid for the expense of trying this thing and after that it would essentially be “free.”   So, I picked a sites that were ranking #2, bottom of page 1, and page 7 or 8.  The goal was to get all three sites to #1 in Google for their keywords.

So there are some good things and some bad things about the Nuke4Me service. First, let’s tackle the good things.

Nuke4Me Review: Positive Things About Nuke4Me

Number one, It’s completely painless to use. I signed up for the plan that allows you to promote 10 keywords and three links in any combination. So you’re promoting three links at the same time (three home pages in my case) and you get 10 keywords that you can spread out across those links. The Nuke4Me.com guys will rotate the link anchor text (AKA your keywords) for those links at random so that you get a nice random promotion.

For example, if you’ve got a website page that you’re trying to get ranked for “blue suede shoes” your anchor text keywords for that page might be blue suede shoes, affordable blue suede shoes, and attractive blue suede shoes. You can give them all three of those keywords and they’ll rotate those in as anchor text for your links.  The purpose of this is to make your links look more natural.

Basically what Nuke4Me does is they create content out on the internet on web 2.0 sites, blogs and other locations, and they link back to your website with the links and anchor text that you supply. One of the other good things about the service is they provide a nice report in Excel at the end of every day that tells you all the links that they created.

I show here an example snapshot of one of the reports that they provide. It’s a simple Excel spreadsheet with all the links.

So, positives for the service; incredibly easy to use, they did exactly what they said they were going to do, they created an enormous amount of links back to my site and that was all great.

Now onto the “less good” things…

Nuke4Me Review:  Negative Things About Nuke4Me

Thing number one – and this is the thing that really bugged me the most about the Nuke4Me.com service – is that the content that they used was, at least in my view, incredibly spammy. I don’t know how else to describe it. It was poorly written content completely off topic from the site that the link was promoting.

For example, let’s say I had a site on acne (I don't). They would put a weakly written article out there on internet marketing and in the middle of the article for no apparent reason they would insert a sentence that contained my anchor text and link back to my site.

This really bugs me.

It violates the principle of always trying to make the internet a better place. These articles added absolutely no value to the internet and I would be embarrassed to show you one. So that’s a huge problem with this service, the content they’re using (at least when I tried it) for me was really spammy.

In fairness to the Nuke4Me guys, they are working to add niche-specific content.  Here is what that had to say lately:

A few clarifications before you signup:

We get unique articles written in the following categories: Internet Marketing; Health/WeightLoss; Electronic Reviews; Automotive; Green Living; Home/Gardening

So if your niche is in one of these categories (or loosely related), that's great. If your niche is NOT related to any of the above categories, countless SEO experiments have shown that the articles do NOT need to be closely related to the niche you are promoting. They still work very well, as long as they are quality articles (Which these are).

However if you'd like exact on-topic articles written just for your particular niche, unfortunately we can't provide that, so we're just giving you a heads up. You can pick which category is most closely related to your niche in the control panel after signing up.

I guess that is OK for some people, but it makes me uncomfortable.

The second problem is two months of this had no real effect on my rankings for any of the three sites. You’ll recall I chose a site that was ranking number two for its keyword hoping to get it to number one. A second site that was ranking at the bottom of page one, hoping to get it to the top of page one. And a third site that was ranking around 75 for its keyword. I didn’t see any movement in any of these sites over two months.

Now, some people might argue that two months is not a long enough test. But, I think I should have seen some movement in two months.

The other thing that’s a little disturbing, as you can see in the plot below, is that I didn’t see any movement in the backlinks of these sites, as reported by Magestic SEO. In the site below, I show that Majestic SEO has been reporting only 156 backlinks for the site since early November.

I’m still not sure what’s going on with that, but I can tell you that whatever the deal is these links were just not very effective in the timeframe that I investigated.

Bottom line — for the three sites that I tested, both Google rank and backlinks were unchanged.

Upon Review, Nuke4Me Service Not Recommended

Quick And Dirty Nuke4Me Review

So the bottom line is I absolutely do not recommend this service at this time. I’ve provided an affiliate link in this post in case you want to try it for yourself. But, don’t try it based on my recommendation. I really don’t think you should be using this. I don’t like it because it’s spammy and I don’t like it because it didn’t work, at least it didn’t work for me. So those are two pretty good reasons.  I also consider it to be expensive.

I do like the people behind it — they did what they said they were going to do, and the customer support was really great.  Maybe I missed something — and maybe this works for others.  But it clearly did not work for me.

What Happens Now?

I hope this Nuke4Me Review has been helpful.  The next question is – How might I possibly be able to salvage this experiment? After all, I’ve got several hundred dollars invested. It would be really nice to get something out of this.

My suspicion that these Nuke4Me properties are not well indexed, so I’ve got a backlink boosting service and I’ve fed all these links that were created by the Nuke4Me.com service into the backlink booster hoping that that will cause them to get indexed and will somehow improve my rank.

Or there’s the also the possibility that I just have not been patient enough and that this Nuke4Me service will kick in, that these links will be indexed and the effect from that will kick in months from now. So maybe this is great, but I’m just not seeing the result yet. So we can hope for that. But, until something like that happens, my recommendation is definitely no on Nuke4Me.com.

I hope this is helpful to you. I’d love to hear your comments in my cool fancy pants LiveFyre comment system below. Have a fantastic day!
