I’ve recently been testing out a handful of different Fiverr gigs that offer backlinking services.
I’ve sifted through hundreds of gigs looking for effective services and narrowed it down to roughly 5 services to test out initially.
There are a few more which I’m currently testing and some of the results I’m about to give you may be a little premature to form a decision, so I will revisit them in part 2 of this series.
So, here are the gigs that made the first cut and their results:
I will setup link wheel for your page Be on the first page in Google search in 1 month for $5
This is apparently the oldest link wheel gig on Fiverr and it may just be since he has an insane amount of positive reviews. I’m not a huge fan of link wheels, but since this is an extremely popular service I thought I better give it a try.
The keyword I tested this service out on was sitting at position 15 when I started. It gets 880 exact local searches and is a popular brand of elliptical. As you can see the keyword jumped up as high as position 4 and has seemingly settled at position 10 for now. Not too bad considering it’s completely hands off - you just pay $5 and give the guy your URL and anchor text.
I will spin and submit your article to U A W, Articleranks and A L N blog network for $5
There are many services on Fiverr offering a UAW, AR or a single ALN blast, but to find one for 5 bucks that submits to all three is a pretty good deal! They even do the spinning for you.
This would be a great gig for hitting your anchor sites, and I actually did that a few times with this particular gig. But, I also pointed it at a money page to test it’s effectiveness. The page I pointed it at is an inner page on one of my niche sites and the keyword I targeted gets 8,100 exact local searches a month with medium competition. When I started the test the page was ranked at exactly 100 for my keyword naturally. In 3 days it jumped to spot 22 where it’s now been resting at for a few weeks. I would say that was a success for $5 bucks!
I will create 30 contextual high pr LINKS to your website for $5
I was really hoping for this gig to be successful. I ordered the gig extra for this service which distributes your article to 40 extra blogs to give it a little more fire power so to speak (an additional $10). And, so far it’s generated decent results. It took a few weeks to see any movement, which is really no time at all in SEO, but it did move. The page I pointed this service at was a Facebook Fan page for one of my authority sites that was at position 48 at the start. The keyword I’m going after gets 8,100 exact local searches and is a popular diet term. Site just reached position 35. It’s starting to climb in the right direction so it will be interesting to see where it ends up.
I will syndicate your web content to over 2000 social media sites through TribePro for $5
I’ve been reading more and more about social signals playing a role in the SERP’s, so I thought I would give it a test. I’ve heard good things about TribePro, but never really wanted to go through the hassle of setting up my own account and so on. So, this gig piqued my interest. I tested this on an inner URL on one of my niche sites that is a long tail keyword with 1,300 exact local searches and a .gov as the #1 listing. The page on my site ranked naturally at 27 with no backlinking or anything done to it. The keyword almost immediately jumped to position 20 and sat there for a while, then eventually fell back to 35. It’s still a little early to tell, but not looking so good right now.
I will spin and submit Article to over 1200 Article Directories, article submission for $5
This gig is extremely popular and has a ton of positive reviews, 3926 at the time of writing this. But, I was little curious at first as to what tool the service provider uses to submit the articles since he doesn’t mention it. Turns out it’s an AMR (Article Marketing Robot) blast. I’ll be the first to admit that I wrote off AMR as being a productive tool a while ago, but the results of this gig were really impressive. I targeted a tough keyword that is another name brand name of a workout machine and gets 14,800 exact local searches a month. My page started at 86 and one day after completing this service it jumped to position 19! And it’s even held that position since.
I have a few other gigs that I’m currently testing that involve social bookmarking, a stumbleupon service, an edu/gov backlink service and more, which I will report on once I’m comfortable sharing the results.
And let me know if you have any favorite Fiverr gigs or even gigs that you provide so I can test them out!

Tom, I really like this and definitely will give it a try.
May I know what software you use to track the ranking.
Since many of your sites are ranked on first 1-2 pages, I’m just curious if you hit 4-digit last month.
Keep it up! Definitely, it’s great to make extra income online to feed the family and the kids. I am on the same boat too. Thanks!

Who’s Tom?
I use Rankerizer to track my rankings. It’s free and works well.
Thanks for commenting!
Thanks of the tip on Rankerizer. Very nice free tool.
Thanks for this Tory!

Thanks

I haven’t used them since this review, so I can’t say for sure. My advice would be to setup a testing domain or use an existing domain and test them out yourself. Just be sure to get a wide variety of anchor links.
Thanks again Tory, I will try some of the fivver you suggested and let you know how it goes
By the way, do you know of any fivvers that are good at creating youtube videos that are decent? not a very complicated thing just some music and a message to make the viewer want to click on a link to visit my site.
Thanks again for your help Tory

I would personally steer clear of the link wheel as it won’t be long before Google really comes down hard on this. Also the articles submission has a lot less affect. I use Fiverr but try and use the niche, local and high pr gigs and stay clear of the ones offering thousands of links.
Some interesting results there and thanks for the free rankeriser tip
I’ve been providing a fiverr backlink gig with some success, I think that a diverse link portfolio is essential in these post-penguin seo days so that is what I have offered in my main service.
If ever you do another review of any fiverr gigs, I would be happy to give you a free go if you would review mine.
Thanks
Hi Tom!
Anyway….
Whilst I am here I thought I would give my 2 pennies worth. I was hunting down a list of fiverr gigs which is how I found you.
I am focusing my attention on building manual high quality tier one’s with unique content, then adding images and videos. I use http://www.sxc.hu for free stock images.
Tier 1′s would be – Manually Approved Article Directories, web 2.0, press releases, guest posting, ebook directories, image directories.
Then I also have been using the Fiverr gig for Article Marketing Automation, but I spin the content myself or pay the guy an extra 5 bucks to spin the content for me. He seems to do it well and I have seen improvements in rankings.
I use other Fiverr gigs too for Press Release submission and Social Bookmarking. But I am tempted to use Magic Submitter as waiting for Fiverr gigs can be a pain in the butt and also they don’t offer a drip feed. Link velocity is important, meaning links spread out consistently over time.
Like you said above….diversity of anchor text.
Anyway, don’t wanna give away the farm in my comment, just thought I’d say that AMA is working well. Just make sure you spin the content semi-manually. I use thebestspinner.

Very helpful, THANK YOU!
lol, Thank you for sharing my gig on the blog! For those, that ask about the panda update – the link wheel still works, but with tune up. To work proper, each articles must be different (not spun version on 1 article) and of course must haven’t bulk backlinks on the blogs from the link wheel.
Regarding 1200 article directories submit – this will give you penalty for sure excepting the case each of this 1200 articles is different (not spun version on 1 article) and they are drip feed (e.g. 50/day for not new domain). They possibly can be good as backlinks to the backlinks on the backlinks or for social profiles like youtube, twitter or facebook…
2000 social sites submit – can’t tell many more about this, but for sure the links must be drip feed for secure.
Google hit the private networks and I haven’t experience from a long time.
30 high page rank contextual links is pretty good deal even some of them are nofollow. The bad thing here is that no more than 20 from the links are live 1 month after deliver. Deleted links = negative SEO (looks like your links are unwonted) .
