Oxzen Media is yet another SEO provider right here down the street from us. We are beginning to think that maybe Salt Lake could be the unofficial SEO capital of the world. Whatever the case may be we our goal is to find out as much as possible about these companies wherever they are. So what were we able to find out about Oxzen? Some very interesting things.
Oxzen Media has branded themselves as a full service internet marketing firm, so we were unsure how much they actually knew about and focused on SEO. They tout heavily the fact that they were able to obtain a Google page rank of 6 for their website, oxzenmedia.com, within only a few short months. We wanted to know how they did it and if their methods were legitimate. So what did we do? We hired them.
What did they do?
Well after a while we began looking at the links they were building for us and we were not impressed. The were only building about 50 – 80 links per month for each of the sites we gave them and most of the links were created through blog commenting. A good percentage of the links had even been removed by the blog moderators destroying any hopes of rank improvement.

Crexendo happens to be right in our very own back yard and we’ve been hearing a lot about them recently. In fact we even attended a seminar/luncheon put on by the Crexendo team in hopes of better understanding them and their service. We then dove a little deeper to see if their game matched their trash talk. Lets start with our experience at the seminar.
First Impressions:
Our first impression of Crexendo was positive. While attending their seminar the president of the company spoke on SEO and their service. He clearly understood what he was talking about and presented some impressive case studies. For some reason however he focused extra heavily on the importance of bookmarking. Don’t get us wrong bookmarking definitely has its place he just seemed more excited about it than most.
So after the luncheon we were feeling pretty good about Crexendo, but at the end of the day putting on a good show and getting results are two very different things and we were still curious to see if Crexendo would come through on the latter.
Legitimate or not?
After getting back to the lab we did some intense investigation of Crexendo, and later on we even spoke one on one with a sales rep of theirs. We found that they have a very specific approach to link building which heavily includes bookmarking, as we could imagine. It appears they use the same exact procedure for every single client. Basically they take each keyword they are building links for, write an article, spin it 30 times, post it to a blog or user-generated content site like HubPages, embed a couple links per article, then bookmark each article 30 times. And that’s it.
We were absolutely astounded at the simplicity of their approach. The concept however is fairly sound, and in looking at some of their clients it seems to work. The price however is a little steep starting at $1,000/mo per keyword.
Our Advice
So what is our advice concerning Crexendo? If you are in a medium to high competitive industry and you have the cash they are a decent choice. Their methods are simple, but solid and they seem to know what works.

Just recently we received an email from a company called Intellilinks. The email was a pitch to try and get us to buy links. It did however contain an announcement that certainly caught our attention. The opening line of the email read “We’re pleased to announce THE GREATEST LINK SPECIAL OF ALL TIME!” Wow if that is true then today could very well be the day we’ve been waiting for ever since our fingers hit keyboards, and since our mothers told us never to pass up a bargain we had to see what this was all about.
Here is a copy of the email we received:
Through further investigation we found that the company is a link brokerage. They do not sell links on sites they own. Rather they recruit site owners to allow them so sell links at a monthly rate and post the links for a commission. Text-link-ads.com has dominated this field for some time, so to see a new face around is refreshing.
We went ahead and purchased some links from them for a random site. Link purchase options included lists of site descriptions, page rank of the sites, and price per month. The average price for a page rank two link was around 20 bucks a month and a page rank 6 link was being sold for $100 per month on average.
A little while ago someone asked us if we had ever heard of Leadgenix. We pride ourselves on knowing just about every company in the industry so after we unfortunately had to answer “no” we resolved to immediately acquaint ourselves with them.
We took a look at their site, investigated their services and methods, and even shot them a few emails. What we found was very interesting
Leadgenix had an extremely wide reputation. By wide we mean they we found feedback covering the whole spectrum from former clients who absolutely loved their work to some who hated even recounting the experience they had with the company. We wanted to know why there were so many extremes.
