Why do I need Authority Buzz?

A huge part of search engine optimization and increasing your search engine rankings is getting quality backlinks. We offer you a premium approach to getting contextual links within authority content and online press releases.


What makes Authority Buzz different?

There are plenty of good link building services available, but we're slightly different in that we focus on using well-researched and well-written content to build contextual links with random and relevant anchor text. We package it into a nice web 2.0 Tumblr blog with images and YouTube videos and then build links to the blog to give it an SEO boost. We also syndicate a press release to announce and promote your hub which adds more backlinks and buzz.


How many Authority Buzz hubs do I need?

It depends on your niche and budget. Feel free to order just one for an SEO boost, but a very solid SEO link building strategy would be one new authority hub plus press release per month in addition to other types of link building for variety and diversity. Consistent link building from month to month is important for SEO.


Can I get a new Authority Buzz hub every month?

Yes, and that's a great strategy. You can simply order a new hub from us every 30 days or so. Or we can invoice you via PayPal subscription so it's more automatic. If you sign up with us on a monthly basis, we'll mix up the hub platforms every month, i.e. Tumblr, Wordpress, Blogspot, Typepad, etc.


Can I use Authority Buzz for reputation management?

Yes. After you complete your order, you're taken to a page where you give us your 5 article topics and URLs to link to. If you want to use Authority Buzz for reputation management, simply make sure the article topics are based around your company.


How much does Authority Buzz cost?

A one-time fee of only $147. This includes everything - writing the authority content and press release, setting up the blog with images, YouTube videos and links to your URLs and syndicating an online press release.


Do you have a refund policy?

Your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed and we'll work with you to make sure you're a happy customer, but we don't offer refunds. Simply because we spend a lot of time and money on every order. But if there's an issue, we'll work with you to solve it.


What do you mean by authority content?

Most of the articles used for SEO and building links are so so quality. Some are terrible quality like spun content. When we say authority content, we mean articles that are well-written and much more researched than the standard SEO article. It doesn't mean the content will win a Pulitzer, but it will be noticeably better.


What topics can you write about?

We can write about most topics. We've done hubs about die casting, wine, travel, finance, internet marketing, telecommunications and more. Please note, however, we won't write about anything related to porn, racism or hatred.


How many words is the content you write for me?

To provide value, the content we write for you will be between 500 and 600 words. Most SEO articles are only 300-400 words long, but we think longer content is more authoritative.


Why don't you ask me for anchor text?

We don't ask you for anchor text after you order because we use random and relevant anchor text to keep things natural. Ever since Google started coming down on link building early 2012, over-optimized anchor text is a big red flag. So we build you contextual links within authority content, but the anchor text we use will not be over-optimized which is a good thing now.


Can I see a sample so I know what to expect?

Yes, of course! Please visit our Sample page.


Will Authority Buzz get me ranked on the 1st page of Google or Bing?

We definitely can't guarantee 1st page rankings because we don't control Google or Bing. We position our service as a premium link building service but results will vary based on so many variables. And you need links from a variety of sources and a variety of link types. Authority Buzz is really meant to complement an already-existing link building strategy.


What if I don't like the content you write for me?

We'll work with you to make sure you're satisfied with your order, but keep in mind that your authority hub is ultimately for link building purposes and won't be Pulitzer quality. That being said, the content will be well-written and well-researched. The hub is also all yours and you get the login information so you can do whatever you wish with it.


Is Authority Buzz a private blog network?

Absolutely not. A private blog network is a group of blogs used for link building, typically with poor and thin content. You pay a monthly fee, or a per post fee, to be able to publish content to the network with your backlink included. Authority Buzz is just one web 2.0 hub built up with 5 pages of researched content on Tumblr, a public site. We then promote your hub with an online press release which is a tried and true SEO strategy.


How long does your service take?

After you complete your order by submitting payment and giving us your details, it will take us 2 weeks to write your content, create your Authority Buzz hub and distribute your press release.


What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover.


Why do you use Tumblr?

Tumblr is a web 2.0 blogging leader and they are very authoritative in the eyes of the search engines. We want to use a quality platform for Authority Buzz hubs and that's Tumblr.


Can I use a custom domain instead of Tumblr?

We recommend piggybacking off of Tumblr's domain authority, but yes you can. After your hub is complete, you get the hub URL along with the login information in case you want to make edits or add more content. Tumblr lets you use a custom domain under the settings tab. If you decide to do this, please let us know so we can make sure that the links we build to your hub are pointing at the correct URLs. 


Do I own my hub or does Authority Buzz own it?

You own it! After content is created and your hub is set up, we email you the hub URL in addition to the Tumblr username and password. From there you can change the password, add more content or make edits. You can do whatever you wish because the hub is yours to keep.


Is Authority Buzz white hat?

The search engines want you to earn links, not build links. So we can't say that Authority Buzz is 100% white hat. But we use authority content to build links so we feel we're very close to white hat. The bottom line is you need backlinks to rank higher in the search engines. The concept of build your website and people will naturally link to it because it's so interesting is not realistic for most businesses. So for the sake of marketing and growing your business you need to build links...and we're offering you a service to do so using authority content that actually provides value to searchers.


Is my Authority Buzz hub permanent?

Since the hub is created and hosted by Tumblr, we can't guarantee it will never ever be taken down. That being said, we say with high confidence that it will be permanent unless Tumblr makes drastic changes or closes down their service. Tumblr usually only shuts down thin blogs that offer no value or blogs that use garbage spun content. An Authority Buzz hub is the complete opposite. It would probably be a good idea, however, to copy and backup the content to a text file just in case you need to move it to another blog platform.
