y'all know how hard it is to get backlinks from high PR sites... so be amazed at how easy this was: 1. I signed up at Qondio and paid the $5 activation fee. 2. earned some Reward Points by writing articles etc. (this took a while) 3. added a 'signature link' to my website on my profile 4. then i rated an article by another member. they call it screening, a list of recent 'screeners' is shown on their home page done! the qondio.com home page is PR7. and my link is on it.
How long did the whole process take you? If you don't mind me asking... Also, you mention this is a list of recent screeners....Wont your backlink be dropped after you get punched out the bottom of the list? Sites with PR that high tend to get a lot of action, so getting a backlink o stick can be troublesome at times. None the less, impressive achievement, I hope you get more of those mega rank boosters.
So does the place actually work? For $5 I would love a DoFollow backlink from PR7! Even gaining onto high-level blogs seems almost impossible
Are you just the qondio agent? =D --- Unfortunately, it seems like home pages of contributors at qondio (which have url like {username}.qondio.com) are not even near PR 7, they just don't have it at all! So check twice before registering for 5$
couple of weeks... good point about the link being dropped. hey i didn't say it was going to stay there. but seriously the idea is to screen every now and then to keep it on there. seems to be working so far. qondio used to be a cesspit when it was still called qassia, but they cleaned it up and it's very strong site now with good trust rank. many #1 results in the serps. yeah, dofollow if you have enough "reward points". that's how they control spam... spammers don't stick around long enough to earn points. they have 30,000 users so obviously not all have PR. but if you are active, you do get high pr on your profile page. this guy has PageRank 4 http://frederick.qondio.com/ check it out if you don't believe. PR4 is pretty high for a user profile page. and even more important than that is the directory, take a look at that.
