Kmac1,

I just published a new post stating that Commission Ritual purchasers now have access to the CR forum. This was just announced today.

So, there is now a new format for support if you only purchase the CR method but don’t join the Inner Circle.

Kmac1,

Brian Johnson responded to the question of whether or not there is support for those who only purchase the CR method, but do not join the Inner Circle. He said that, yes, there is support. He has an assistant who helps answer questions that are emailed to him.

Your comment was a tremendous help. The fact that CR goes against the grain of current backlinking strategies makes it even better in my estimation. The majority of what’s being taught on the internet today with respect to backlinks is nothing more than short term gimmickry. As soon as the guru of the week launches their “Backlink Ninja” course to a 1000 people, and those 1000 people in turn become affiliates marketing the same “system” to tens of thousands of other people Google has already begun to devalue the strategy. NO ONE IS GOING TO OUTSMART GOOGLE!!! Sooner or later the internet marketing community will “get it” that the search engines want unique, quality C-O-N-T-E-N-T. The internet is called the Information Superhighway. Not the Affiliate Marketing Superhighway. Not the Backlink Superhighway. Not the Network Marketing Superhighway. Not the Web 2.0 Superhighway. Not the Bum Marketing Superhighway. Not the Social Bookmarking Superhighway. And certainly not the Let’s Spam Every Blog With Garbage Profile Links Superhighway. Maintaining a good relationship with the engines does not lie with this week’s hot gimmick but with aligning targeted searches with relevant information. Period. From what you and others have to say about CR it seems Brian Johnson gets it. I think I’ll get his course.

Kmac1,

You are welcome. Did my response help clarify what I meant about the difference of backlinking between CM and CR?

Kmac1,

You are asking excellent questions!

Re: Backlinking – If you follow the Crowd Mountain (aka CM) method, it teaches about getting LOTS of backlinks. The emphasis is on getting backlinks through social media sites, though other methods are also taught (and, for what it is worth, the Crowd Mountain Snooper tool is awesome for finding the best sites to get backlinks from, both social media and regular blogs). As stated, this is VERY time consuming.

On the other hand, Commission Ritual (aka CR) teaches how to get sites to rank with very few backlinks. So, my statement above was made before I had done any backlinking to my new sites. CR sites are built in such a way that you don’t need a lot of backlinks, though you certainly can get more as your sites age. But, if you follow the CR method, it is important to NOT get many backlinks for the first few months.

Re: Is CR just for seasonal niches? – No, the CR method is not limited to seasonal niches. Inner Circle members for CR have available to them training videos that explain how to build seasonal sites, specifically Halloween and Christmas, but the methods used to build these sites can be used for ANY niche.

Re: Support for CR only purchases – That one is hard for me to answer, simply because I am an Inner Circle member. In other words, I didn’t just purchase the CR, so never put customer service for just CR to the test.

I’m going to send an email to Brian Johnson (the creator of the CR method) and ask him. I’ll let you know what he says.

I have enjoyed reading your posts about Commission Ritual, particularly the one that compared CR with Crowd Mountain. In that post you mention that one thing you like about the CR method is that it is not dependent on heavy backlinking which is very time consuming. In the first full paragraph of THIS post you say that you’re not expecting great results from your new (at the time of the post) CR sites because you haven’t done any backlink building. This seems to contradict the “not dependent on backlinking” feature you loved in the post comparing CR to Crowd Mountain.

Would you mind helping me with this apparent contradiction?

Does the CR method only involve seasonal campaigns like Halloween and Christmas or can it be used throughout the year in any niche?

Finally, what kind of support ia available to those who can only afford the $97 price of the course but not the $50 per month cost of the “Insider Circle”?

Thank you for helping me with these questions.
