If you’re looking for a detailed review on Source Wave University by Alex Becker you are in the right place because I’m going to explain everything in details so you can see exactly what Source Wave University is all about, should you join or forget it.

My review will be a bit long maybe, but it’s important to get all the information before you make your decision because what Alex teaches folks is not something that can be used by everyone or for everyone.

Alex and his team claim that using Source Wave University teachings you can start making $100- $200 a day. Is this real or just another empty promise? I’ve seen many claims and promises like this before and most of them have zero value to be honest.

When it comes to Source Wave University, I can tell that yes, it’s possible. This is not an empty promise. But the program is not perfect like any other thing and I recommend you to read the whole review before you make your decision.

 

The main idea behind Source Wave University by Alex Becker

Source Wave University by Alex Becker is an extensive training course that teaches you how to make money online through building a group of sites known as PBN ( Private Blog Network).

You will also learn niche and local marketing. The course has a strong focus on what is known as grey/black hat SEO which is different from a traditional SEO. Is it good or bad?

I will discuss it further in my review. But the overall quality of the training is good. It has pros and cons. Do I recommend Source Wave University by Alex Becker to everyone? That’s a tough question. I think yes and no at the same time.

 

Source Wave University by Alex Becker is a good program that teaches you mainly grey/black hat SEO. If you know what it means and are looking for such a program, I recommend it. If you’re a complete beginner, I would recommend to start first with a white hat SEO training that is safe from Google penalties. This is the same program I’ve started with back in 2013 and I’m still a member of this program. It’s FREE to start. No credit card required.

 

 

Pros of Source Wave University by Alex Becker

• Quality training on SEO with a strong focus on PBN
• Quality support

 

Cons of Source Wave University by Alex Becker

• PBN is a risky method and you can lose your entire business
• It’s not for a complete beginner

 

Source Wave University by Alex Becker explained

Before I start explaining what you can expect from Alex’s Source Wave University and what PBN means, I want to say a few words regarding his claim that you can start making $100 – $200 a day.

Yes, you can. Because Alex’s training mainly teaches you how to manipulate search engines in order to get high rankings for your website/s and drive ton of traffic to your online business.

Can you achieve it with Alex’s training? Yes, you can. Traffic is the key and anyone who has at least some knowledge about internet marketing understand it.

But the question is: How long will it continue? No one knows. The day Google spots your site’s using PBN, your site will be penalyzed and you will lose your business and your income.

And believe me, Google is working hard on this and it will happen sooner or later.

That’s why I’ve never used PBN and will never use because I don’t want to lose my business. I know some people who are running very successful online businesses and they never use PBN because they are of the same opinion regarding PBN.

 

Source Wave University training

Source Wave University by Alex Becker contains a lot of training videos that cover all aspects of SEO, white and grey. You will also learn local marketing, finding a niche for your website.

The training also includes case studies which is great in my opinion. The training material is being updated almost every week. Here is the training breakdown:

 

 

• Beginner Classes
• Intermediate Classes
• Link Building
• Client SEO
• Guest Speakers
• Q/A Webinars

PBN lessons:

• PBNs Explained
• Perfect PBN Metrics
• Bidding Smart on PBNs
• Perfect PBN Set up
• Worlds Simplest PBN Strategy
• Link Services Made Easy

 

Beginner classes module consists of 7 videos explaining how to make money online. The videos are self explanatory and you will learn all you need to know. If you have any questions, you can ask Alex or his team and these guys are very helpful.

You will learn how to build a website and get it ranked in search engines through building quality backlinks pointing to your site from PBN sites.

It’s true that related backlinks from quality websites is still a powerful ranking factor and I believe it will remain as such for a long time. But from my experience I can tell that you can get high rankings in search engines without any quality backlinks too.

I have many pages ranked in top 10 without any quality backlinks. BTW, if you want to build quality backlinks using white hat SEO, I can recommend to read my article on SEO in 2016.

The best expert in building backlinks using white SEO is Brian Dean from Backlinko. If you follow his teachings, you don’t need PBN at all. He is the best expert in the industry.

 

Intermediate Classes module contains a lot of high quality information. But this info is not for complete beginners. This module contains 27 videos on SEO and many other topics, including local marketing, Google penalties.

BTW, the good part of Source Wave University by Alex Becker is that they clearly explain what white and black hat SEO means and how to avoid Google penalties. But of course, they can’t guarantee that you will be safe from those penalties.

 

 

Link Building module teaches you how to build links through PBN. There is a lot here to learn and if you feel something is not clear you can always ask questions.

 

Client SEO module teaches you how to do the same for your local clients. If you’re a hard working and a goal oriented person, you can earn a good income using this method alone.

 

In Guest Speakers module you will listen to 3 people explaining you link building and some other things.

 

Q/A Webinars module contains 27 webinars on various topics.

 

Generally speaking, Alex’s training contains a lot of valuable and helpful information. Source Wave University is much better than all his previous products.

But like I said, this course is not for complete beginners. It’s for those who are mainly looking for grey/black hat SEO.

If this is exactly what you want then I highly recommend it. Using this method you can get results and achieve your goal much faster.

 

The good part of Source Wave University

The good news is that they offer a free 10 day trial. So, if you’re serious, give it a try then.

I also like the way Alex and his team explain how to choose a niche based on competition. This is really important because most of the time newbies get lost in this.

I also like how they explain what type of backlinks don’t work any longer and why you should avoid them.

 

Support at Source Wave University

Support is an extremely important aspect of any program and most of the time I find support to be the most overlooked aspect. Fortunately, Alex and his team provide an excellent support within the members area of Source Wave University. They also have a Facebook group that is very active and you’ll never get lost once you’re a part of Source Wave University.

 

 

 

To PBN or not to PBN

I think only you know the answer to this really tough question. YOU have to decide whether you want to apply this method to your business or not.

If you do some research on PBN, you can find some good resources in order to get a better idea of what PBN is and how dangerous it can be for your business.

Reliable sources, such as searchenginewatch.com tell that PBN is not a good idea and if you use it, you better move on from this strategy ASAP.

Because PBN is a group of sites designed to manipulate search engine ranking algorithm which is very dangerous and risky.

You have to be very careful when applying this strategy. Your PBN sites must be always active and well promoted which is not easy and time consuming.

If Google feels that they are not, just a bunch of dead sites linking to you, they will punish you immediately.

Many experts say that even if you develop your PBN sites carefully, you will always be at risk. This means you can lose everything, your sites and your income in no time.

Do you want it? Are you ready for such an outcome? It’s up to you to decide. I’m of the opinion that it’s better to avoid PBN and build your business using only white hat SEO because in this case your sites will be making you money for years to come vs PBN sites that make you money for a couple years and then you lose them. This is my opinion and you are free to agree with me or not.

And remember that building PBN sites is not easy. It will take a lot of time to read the material and watch all Source Wave University lessons and then apply the strategy carefully. So, it’s not going to be easy and fast at all.

 

Final word on Source Wave University by Alex Becker

Source Wave University by Alex Becker is a good product and it’s far from being a scam. It’s completely legit and provides quality training and quality support.

If you’re looking for an advanced SEO training with a strong focus on PBN, I recommend it. But I’ve never used PBN in my business and to be honest, it’s a risky method though you can achieve results much faster than through a traditional SEO.

I prefer using white hat SEO because it’s safe from Google penalty. Anyone who has years of experience online and is running at least one successful online business know how hard and time consuming it is to build a website, write quality content for it and get it ranked high in search engines.

I would never want to lose my business due to Google penalty which is the case when using PBN.

If you follow Alex’s training and apply what he teaches, you will probably be safe from Google penalties, not forever, but for a couple years or maybe even longer. I don’t know.

But Google works very hard and sooner or later they will find a way to spot PBN sites. It may happen next month. It will happen, sooner or later. For now, you can learn PBN and benefit from this method and probably make some good money.

I will never use PBN for my main site that provides my main income. If you plan to build several sites, then you can apply PBN method for some of your sites, but I would never recommend to use this method for your main site that provides your main income. It’s too risky in my opinion.

Anyway, if you want faster results, you definitely should try Source Wave University by Alex Becker.
