Ardor SEO’s History

On the fifth of April in 2010, autobacklinkservice.com was started. This was our first backlink service. It consisted of a very simple Forum Profile backlink service. The service was working great! We had plenty of customers and it was easy enough to run. A few months later we acquired a domain from another backlink service backlinkservices.com and shortly after from bluebacklinks.com.

As successful as they were, running three different brands quickly became unsustainable. We needed to amalgamate under one brand and thus on the 27th of September, 2011 Ardor Backlinks was born!

Since then, Ardor has quickly grown to be one of the largest organic SEO services and organic marketing services around. Discover our year by year growth below!

Where it all began....

In 2012 Ardor Backlinks grew remarkably fast. At this time, the team and business were completely remote.

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Say

Andrew Royer

ROYER ACCOUNTING,CPA

Really impressed with the Market Visibility Blueprint information that I've received. 

I was provided with a lot of great information and insight into how our website can be improved upon. The strategy that Kris put together is exciting and I'm looking forward to seeing it put into action and the results that should come with it. Looking forward to working with the Ardor team and hopefully seeing the results translated into more customers.

Joshua Jarvis

BLUEPRINT DIGITAL

When Kris approached me I gotta say I was skeptical. There is a lot of spam on Linkedin. I'm thankful that Kris persisted. Kris is one of the few guys in the digital marketing and SEO space that gets what agency needs and knows how to support the company's strategy. 

From day 1, Kris has been attentive and eager to please.

It's nice to do business with someone who wants to serve.
