What is Brute Force SEO (preview)

Brute Force SEO: A name to conjure with.
The name is suggestive of a product that might help with SEO but is for sure not refined or subtle.

The claims that Peter Drew is making for his new product are far from subtle but the imagery, particularly the video, is certainly refined.

His website at bruteforceseo.com is, at the time of writing, pretty bare apart from an earlybird signup form ( I recommend signing up ) and a link to the feature set of the software.

Only 500 subscriptions will be sold, this means that it is worth signing up to the early bird notification list - even if you are just curious.

Anyway, the tools
What does Brute Force SEO actually do?

Well, it seems to me to be an amalgamation of his previous products that have for some months been on sale to thousands of willing buyers. I will go into more detail shortly but in essence the system is designed to create basic sites on a number of host sites, what some people call ‘parasite hosting’.

When the sites have been created a linking structure is set up so that each page can expect to rank well in its own right as well as linking, ultimately to the money pages.

After this the Brute Force software syndicates all the feeds created to about 20 Rss directories and search engines, the search engine spiders follow the links to your new pages.
Next the articles added to BFS are syndicated to a network of article directories where they will be read and, hopefully, re-published onward.
If any video has been added to the system then Brute Force SEO will forward it to 20 video directories.

The processes are almost hands-free with Brute Force, apart from adding content to the system to be posted to your new sites. Of course where captchas are needed to show that a human is at work then we users need to do some work.

Pete reckons that setting up an entire network of sites using Brute Force SEO will take about 30 minutes, I have not yet had chance to test this claim.)

A point to note is that BruteForce SEO can handle several projects at once so one can spend a morning setting up several networks, interrupted only by the need to add captchas and review progress.

Pete’s claim that a user can Dominate Google" with this system is, in my opinion entirely feasible. I have used non-automated systems to get similar results to those that Pete Drew claims for Brute Force SEO. My biggest caveat and warning to users is this: I was able to get to be among top affiliates for some big name launches without using an email list by using techniques very similar to those Pete recommends, but I was doing so in circumstances where the big name marketers were not actively working on website visitors. I always considered this to be a little lazy and have made good profits from their lack of effort, but I can only speculate as to what might happen if a large number of the users of Brute Force SEO all chose to promote the same product or launch.
In my opinion users will need to work to find appropriate niches and make careful choices about which products to support, or to accept that in the final analysis, even a tool such as Brute Force SEO needs skill and care to get the best from it.

Buyers have not always been entirely happy with some of Pete's previous offerings and this should be bourne in mind. I don't expect this to be a problem because Brute Force SEO is written using elements from earlier BadAss components and, as a top-line system, Peter Drew's good name is in the crosswires!

When I found out about Brute Force SEO I joined the early bird notification list because I could see potential in the offering. As long as the software does its job and users apply the requisite care and skill then BruteForce SEO users will do well.

Please sign up and take a look whilst it is still possible!
