The RankYak alternative without the backlink exchange

RankYak finds keywords, writes, builds backlinks through an exchange network and publishes daily. GrowGanic does the research, writing and publishing with no exchange, and shows you every source it checked.

The verdict

RankYak is a close feature match for GrowGanic's autopilot, with a backlink exchange as the difference. GrowGanic is the better choice when you want that autopilot without trading links: every source shown beside the sentence it was checked against, an original hero per article, every Google ranking tracked, and a free first article with no card.

The switch

Why people look for RankYak alternatives

People look for a RankYak alternative when they read the backlink line. Its homepage says it exchanges backlinks between your site and relevant sites in the network on full autopilot, and Google's spam policies list excessive link exchanges as link spam. Its verified-facts promise does not describe how the facts are checked.

The fair answer

RankYak is a close autopilot match, and its backlinks come from an exchange network your site joins.

Choose GrowGanic if you want the articles researched, written, illustrated, checked and published on your own site on a schedule, with nothing for you to run.
