I've been using Article Ranks for months and extremely happy with the outcome. Not too long ago, Article Ranks has publish a new system named Link Authority, whereby we're required to publish a unique quality article each time instead of accepting spun articles. Just like BMR, but seems even better as all sites are promised to be PR 2 and above.
This seems to be a good move to me, especially in the post-panda era. Has anyone tried this out and able to verify this?
