Wealthy Affiliate has coasted on unproven claims of success
for too long. It is brilliantly set up to get people to pay to become
affiliates and promote it.
Over 1/3 of their sites end up in "make money" related
niches - hard to win, depressing niches where you basically try to suck others
into the same unfortunate "make money" situation. They, too, end up
promoting WA as affiliates. And round it goes.
Affiliates are given a list of 175 companies to write reviews
for. Unfortunately, we found out that our product, Solo Build It!, is one of
them.
We recently discovered its elaborate system of fake reviews
that compare WA against our flagship product, Solo Build It!. The entire story
was originally outlined in detail in 10
"Episodes" here in our forums...
It's long. If it's too much to read, the TLDR is here.
We have also just posted the first of a 3-part series on Wealthy
Affiliate, reviewing WA vs SBI!.
UPDATE: Parts 2 and 3 of this study have now been
published…
Part 2: The SBI! vs Wealthy Affiliate
Study: Background & Methodology: The study's
methodology is described, to enable anyone to do it themselves and verify the
results.
Part 3: Full Results, Summary &
Conclusions: Some highlights...
A) SBI! users are 33X more likely for solopreneurs to
be “Outstanding-Excellent"
B) SBI! users are 10X more likey to land in
medium-level.
C) The ONLY category where WA “beats” SBI! was in the
lowest level of failure (“Invisible” - Alexa>30M, SimilarWeb>30M, SEMrush
= 0). 87% of their sites are “Invisible.
WA’s best-kept secret is a secret no longer.
Contrary to its claims and the recommendations of all the
affiliates’ fake reviews about SBI! (Pushing WA as being “#1” or “the best,”
etc.), SBI! Significantly outperforms WA.
PLANNED FOLLOW-UP: We shall be doing follow-up
studies to review Wealthy Affiliate results vs Wix and Weebly (the paid
versions, using domains). The amount of online business-building guidance by
Wix and Weebly is minor, so they serve as excellent controls to discover
whether WA delivers ANY business-building benefits at all.
