Today, we're going to be discussing a product called SEO Zen by guys named Alex Becker,
Alex Cass and Mo Miah.
This is one of the most low quality, scummiest products that I have reviewed at a long time.
We'll talk about all the reasons why in today's review from NoMoreBSReviews.com.
This video review has been edited for the sake of brevity.
But if at any point during this video you'd like to read the full, unedited review complete
with screen shots, you can click the logo in the bottom right hand corner of this video
and you'd be taken to the full review that you can skim through at your own pace.
Right after I purchased SEO Zen, I didn't really have any issues at all.
Everything went pretty smoothly.
The instructions to install the plug in on my website were very clear and easy to follow
and I followed through them and had no issues at all whatsoever.
What I interpreted to be a very scummy sales page got off to a pretty good start when I
started playing with the product after I had purchased.
But as soon as I installed it and activated it, put in my serial number and everything,
everything looked like it was going so smoothly and then I clicked over to the training tab
and there was no training.
There were instructions on how to access the training.
When I followed those instructions, it became very clear to me that I did not have access
to the training.
There was no way, if I followed those instructions step by step or if I clicked around the entire
members' area for several minutes like I did, there was no training at all whatsoever.
So now I have this product that I'm supposed to be reviewing, I need to review and I just
went ahead and pressed forward without any training.
I went back to the sales page where Alex Cass takes you through the product in 60 seconds
and I followed it along there but I was promised training on the front and I wasn't delivered
any training at all and that was my first really big red flag when I was reviewing SEO
Zen.
After I followed all of the instructions on setting up my first silo which is what SEO
Zen essentially calls the content pages it's building on your site, I noticed very quickly
that the software was completely worthless and this is why.
I pulled a content, I told it to pull a content for optometrists or eye doctors in Sugar Land,
Texas.
I did that because I have a friend that I have ranked his site for his business in Sugar
Land, Texas.
He's an eye doctor.
It was very easy for me to rank for so I thought if there was any test as to whether or not
this program could rank anything, I didn't want to pick a really high competition niche.
I wanted to pick something that was super low competition that I know is easy to rank
for because then, if the tool was at all valid, I would get rankings for it.
What I found very quickly was as soon as I put in all that information, I hit the button,
it went over and grabbed an article and I started reading that article, it was for carpet
cleaning services in Sugar Land, Texas which is a pretty different industry and a pretty
different business than optometrists or eye doctors.
I was really taken aback by this.
If the software were programmed well at all, it would be able to pick up on that really,
really big difference.
In addition to that, when I started reading through it even after I had spun the article
which for those of you who aren't familiar, when you spin an article, it's a piece of
software that swaps certain words out for synonyms and changes the phrasing a little
bit so that supposedly, search engines will pick it up as unique content.
That does not really work in the first place in today's search climate.
It used to but for about a year or two, it hasn't worked very well anymore.
That's besides the point.
When I went through and I spun the content and then I took the first paragraph, copy-pasted
it into Google with quotes, there were ten other websites that had that exact same first
paragraph.
I had a ton of duplicate content that was related to carpet cleaning services which
isn't at all helpful for getting rankings and especially not getting rankings when you're
trying to rank for eye doctors or optometrists in Sugar Land, Texas.
As if that weren't enough, just kind of the icing on the cake that really showed me that
SEO Zen was just 100% worthless product was as you click through when you start trying
to use the other components besides the silo set-up as they call it, you find other bugs
within the software.
Another one of the biggest bugs I found is where in the video, Alex Cass goes and he
pulls a high PR, a high page rank link from another site which in that video by the way,
he's just comment spamming which you don't get rewarded for.
It will actually get your site penalized.
In theory, if this tool is supposed to work, I put in a keyword, it pulls up a high PR
site that I can get a valuable backlink from which increases the ranking power of my website.
That's all changed again over the last year search engines don't go around thinking that
that's how you make money in Internet marketing because it really isn't anymore.
If you're going to give me a tool, make sure it works.
Whenever I put in my keywords or I put in any keywords at all, I tested it several ways,
I get a pop up that says this can take up to 90 seconds, please wait.
I waited up to 10 minutes at one point and it just kept going.
There's this spinning wheel of death just loading, loading.
It never came up with anything.
They obviously are not updating the software very often either or keeping up with the bugs
and fixing it as problems like this arise which is a pretty major problem.
For all of these reasons, there is just absolutely no way that SEO Zen is worth the $97 or the
$127, depending on which license you're buying.
It doesn't do what it says it's going to do.
It's impossible to get access to the training because they created some flaw in the members'
area that the training is buried somewhere.
That's not accessible through the links they have anymore.
On top of that, you are getting duplicate content and you're getting content actually
that's not even related to the niche that you're trying to rank for.
For all of those reasons, there's just no way in the world that I can possible recommend
SEO Zen by Alex Becker, Alex Cass, and Mo Miah.
That's it for today's review.
I hope you found that helpful.
