Brute Force SEO: An Early Review

Brute Force SEO: An interesting name.
The name 'Brute Force SEO' suggests a product that may be a help with search engine optimisation but is neither refined nor 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.

Anyhow, the tools
Brute Force does what exactly?

It seems as though Brute Force SEO is built from the tools he has been selling to eager internet marketers for the past few months. 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 by thousands and, with luck, receive onward syndication.
If any video has been added to the system then Brute Force SEO will forward it to 20 video directories.

Apart from actually adding the site content to the system almost all the foregoing is hands-off. Of course where captchas are needed to show that a human is at work then we users need to do some work.

The whole process to set up an entire network is about 30 minutes (according to Peter Drew, I have not yet had chance to use the whole system.)

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.

It is worth noting that some of Pete's products have not worked as well as buyers hoped. This won't be a problem - Brute Force SEO was designed using elements from earlier BadAss offerings and, as a flagship product, Peter Drew's good name is on the line!

When I found out about Brute Force SEO I signed up to the Early Bird list as I can see a lot of potential here. Good profits will only come if users take care to learn the potential of BFSEO but as long as the software does as it says on the tin then there is nothing to fear.

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