Angelas Backlink Packets Review (So Far)

Apr 03

As I said in my previous post, I have recently signed up for Angelas Backlink Packets which I started working though on Thursday night.

Firstly, as I didnt get the packet until the end of the month, most of the other users have already jumped in and done their links so some of the sites had either closed registration, removed link fields or changed the fields to plain text only. So far I have gone through about 20 of the sites and probably 5 are “dead”. I was expecting this anyway though so its not really a problem.

When you subscribe to the backlink packets, Angela will send you an email with a link to a page containing that months packets. I thought it was a bit odd that a package of 30 links was spread across 7 zip files at about 2MB each, however once you have downloaded the packages it becomes clearer. This isn’t just a list of URL’s, there is a guide for each and every site, showing you where to sign up, where to put your links and what code to use for the links.

The backlink packet for March contained 32 backlinks, or which there were 2 PR9 sites, 1 PR8 site, 9 PR7 sites, 19 PR6 sites and 1 PR5 site. One thing which I already knew, but is worth pointing out with Angela’s links is that these are the Page Ranks (PR) of the homepage of the site, your link will be on a newly created profile page, or an inner page on the site with lower or no Page Rank.

From what I have seen so far, there are 2 different types of links in the packet. The most common one is a profile page on a forum or networking site which contains your links, and the others are sites where you will need to leave a relevant comment on either a blog or forum to squeeze your backlink in.

The content of the sites vary widely, covering an array of niches. In this months packaet there were web development sites, health sites, law sites and many more. Obviously this will vary from month to month, but if you do find a site which is in your niche then it may well be worth a bit more than just a profile link.

As I said at the start, I’ve gone through about 20 of the sites and created the backlinks. I did 5 on Thursday and 15 yesterday. I have put 2 links on each site, pointing to 2 of my sites. Is it too early to expect results? Yes. Have I seen any results? Yes.

One of my sites which had been sitting comfortably at 6th & 7th on the first page has now shot up to 3rd & 4th, with only one site outranking me taking positions 1 & 2. The second site I linked to was more of an experiment. A site I had created a month or so ago and hadnt got around to do any backlinks to. The site had been indexed, but wasnt in the top 200 for my targeted keywords. The site is now ranking top of the 2nd page, at number 11 for the targeted keyword!

I thought I would do a little more digging. From what I can see in Google, only 2 of the links I created have been indexed! Once I have added the rest of the backlinks, I’ll go through and collect all of the backlink URLs (should have kept a note of them from the start!) and either create an RSS feed to submit, submit them to a social bookmarking site, or post them on a blogger/blogspot blog, or possibly a combination of all three!

So, my review so far… This backlink packet costs $5 (£3) per month for a minimum of 30 URLs. From the 30 URL’s probably 20-25 of the links will still be working at the end of the first month and I would imagine this will drop to 10-15 with time. However, provided my results dont drop too much from their current rankings then its definately worth the $5. If adding the extra links, and getting all the pages indexed pushes the rankings up even further then that will be even better.

The main “problem” I am having is the time to create all the links. I have seen a few WSO’s for automation or speeding up of these link packets so I need to do a bit of digging around and see if any of them are any good.

    Hi shane

    thanks for the review

    i have actually stopped subscribing to angelas packets because of the new security and needing to use them on multiple computers and now just use pauls 120 link packets instead.

    I still use her old packets though for new keywords i am targeting and outsource them constantly.

    The reason i am leaving a comment is because i wanted to point out how cheap it is to outsource the process for example i pay $0.56 per hour to do pauls full 120 packet once a month and it costs me just 10 hours $5.60.

    And for more advanced work – to find someone to create profiles on sites that aren’t covered in the paul/angelas packets and to rss feed and bookmark them can come in at around a cost of $15 for 100 profiles.

    It all depends on how serious you are about the backlinks and how many of them you want.

    kind regards

    I’ve also unsubscribed this month. A couple of reasons, first being the new added security which makes it a pain as I use two computers (laptop and desktop), and also the websites on the backlink packets are still getting spammed resulting in IP/websites being blacklisted on certain sites.

    I was going to take a look at Paul’s backlinks but I’ve decided to find my own now. It takes a while but the links will last and I’ve found a few gems including a PR8 .edu site!

    Just started the service. I’ll see how the first month goes and will decide whether I’ll stay with it. Thanks for your experience.
