Submitedge.com – SEO scammers
April 16th Update – Submitedge contacted me in response to this post. I said if they removed my links and refunded me, I would remove their url’s from this post. Both have now been carried out. I think if you don’t have a public facing blog you will be out of luck – I could only get a reply from them after they went to Google and checked that my post was in fact ranking for brand searches…

I was replying through their own ticket system and was getting no reply. It took a public blog post to even get them to admit their was a problem….

This is a warning post about using the “link building” services from Submitedge.com.
We had a client wanting to use them for some cheap link building, but since they had a new site we decided we would test it on one of our own sites first. I will outline the results from this “ethical seo company” (their choice of words, not mine…) below.
The order was placed on 10th March for 10 one way backlinks. On the 11th someone else showed me a batch of the links that Submit Edge had placed for them. The quality was horrendous, there is no way you would want these links pointing at your site. Dropped domains, spam sites, and some of the pages having 80 outgoing links to completely unrelated pages etc. There is no possible way they are passing any benefit, and depending on circumstances there would be a real possibility of these links doing you harm.
With this in mind, I sent them this message less than 24hrs after ordering:
Someone just showed me a sample report of this service – removed
All of those links are absolute spam, and you are linking 80 things per page. This will do more harm than good. Please cancel my order and refund it to Paypal.
thanks
Even although they have a “100% service satisfaction” they completely ignored my reply. On the 15th March they then uploaded a report saying the job had been completed. Lets take a look at where they placed the links:
www.removed.info/ – pr1, 12 links in Yahoo. 52 external links on the page. Adword ads displayed from google_ad_client = “pub-removed“. They have not even bothered to use a logo, leaving “site name” on it.
www.removed.net/ – pr2, 25 links in Yahoo. 29 external links on the page. Adwords ads displayed from google_ad_client = “pub-removed“;. Dropped domain, proof removed. Linked to first site by same Adsense ID.
www.removed.com/terms-conditions.html – pr2, 120 external links. And it seems this is another dropped domain, proof removed.
www.removed.net/Search-Engine-Optimization.html – pr2, 30 links in Yahoo. 62 external links. Another dropped domain – their pagerank comes from unrelated links on a Thai government site, removed.
www.removed.com/Search_Engine_Optimization.html – pr2, 20 links in Yahoo. 100 external links. With the domain name “removed” it’ll come as no surprise this is yet another dropped domain. You can see the proof here, removed.
www.removed.org – pr3, 50 outgoing links. Dropped domain. I guess the whole “don’t have any content on the homepage at all, just stuff it with paid links only” thing kind of gives that away.
removed.com/ – pr3, 73 external links. Yup, another dropped domain. Proof removed.
www.removed.com/ – pr2, 29 links in Yahoo. 90 external links. They also seem to have removed all the real content to make room for more paid links. Dropped domain, used to be a web design company – look at the proof removed.
Do these look like the type of sites you would want linking to you? Bear in mind the external links numbers above are just the number of links on that specific page – every other page on the website has similar numbers of links also.
We decided these links were potentially far more harmful than good, we definitely did not want to be associated with this type of link building. This was sent to Submit Edge on the 15th March:
Those links are all absolute garbage – please remove them and refund the money. I think those links potentially do me more harm than good, I want this resolved quickly. Thanks
They simply chose to ignore this message. So much for their “ethical seo” and “100% service satisfaction”!
We left it another 9 days after that, then sent them this:
Are you not even listening to me? Fine if you want to steal the money, you can keep it. I want those links removed immediately.
No reply yet again.
I really did not want to get involved in outing specific companies or url’s, but I felt we had no choice here. This company are using tactics that have a very high chance of leading to penalties. I would not like to get a lot of these type of links, or to point them at a new or weak site.
Even when offered the opportunity to keep the cash paid ($170) and remove the links, Submit Edge refused to do so. If they had agreed to remove the links when I asked, you would not be reading this post right now.
If you are considering using submitedge.com for link building, I would advice you to read the above very carefully and reconsider. Do not fall victim to the submitedge.com scam…
This is exactly the type of scam service that gives the SEO industry a bad name.
