Where To Get Backlinks

September 14, 2009 · 2 comments

So far there are 4 link building services that I’ve used for a long enough period of time to recommend:

Important: If you’re an SEO looking for a way to leverage pre-existing traffic networks and link building services, then Linkvana and Backlink Solutions are not for you, since it’s against their TOS (Terms of Service) to use their services for 3d party clients… A lot of services are like that so you’d be better served by looking into Unique Article Wizard, My Article Network or any article marketing syndication services recommended here on this page.

I have come to the conclusion that certain business models need certain types of link building services.

If you have a lot of Adsense sites and pages, then your Adsense income will benefit from widespread article syndication that sends traffic to all your different posts and pages.

I recommend Unique Article Wizard, The Link Juicer and Backlink Solutions for that.

If you only have a few sites and just need to get them ranked highly and that’s it, then LinkVana is a solution that is less time-intensive, but costs more than the other 2 services mentioned.

Here’s the cheat sheet in case you don’t want to read all the content below:

#1 – Backlink Solutions - still my favorite service…

  1. You will get backlinks from blogs here (and soon they will be adding Joomla sites, too).
  2. You will get referral traffic from their blog post backlinks and will see results quickly, and eventually some achieve high rankings.
  3. This is probably my favorite link building service because they have a spinner you can use to create backlinks for a lot of keywords and different urls using short snippets.

Go to the BackLink Solutions site for more information or just read more about it below this cheat-sheet area, there’s a video down below showing results…

#2 Unique Article Wizard

Unique Article Wizard is pure power. This services submits to articles directories AND also puts your articles on other websites so you’re getting a variety of backlinks here.

The important difference between Unique Article Wizard and My Article Network is that Unique Article Wizard is putting your articles on high quality sites like article directories and not just websites where people are turning their websites into duplicate-content link farms by accepting free articles with 2-3 outbound links per article hosted.

Both of these are recommended, but I have finished testing to see which one is best, and if it’s worth the extra $10.00/month to use UAW instead of MAN (it is!).

Many of my fellow marketers who are heavy into link building and traffic generation highly recommend Unique Article Wizard, while the jury is still out on My Article Network (see the verdict and review series on My Article Network here.

Unique Article Wizard is awesome for getting a lot of links to a lot of your site urls because there’s an option to spin keywords and URLs in an article.

This is a crucial thing to consider because one article submitted to 110 sites is actually too much linkbuilding so you want to limit your submissions rate as much as possible, to 20 submissions a day, and spin the heck out of one article to get links to a LOT of your optimized pages and posts.

#3 – LinkVana

  1. is good for achieving rankings at some point if this is the only service you use
  2. it’s very rare for people to realize an ROI from using this service,
  3. you won’t get referral traffic from the sites in their network used to link to you.
  4. If you don’t stay at least 2 months all your links will be removed from their network
  5. It is expensive for most people and is really for “players” who need a way to outsource their link building for rankings. I recommend that you hire a writer to write the 100-word blurbs for you instead of paying them $2.00/blurb by using their outsourcing service.
  6. LinkVana has a great interface and is very easy to use so if you’re going to outsource your link building with them, you can do that all there.
  7. You don’t get social bookmarking links with LinkVana and it is suggested that you do get those types of links so you’re not getting “blog-only” links.

#4- The Link Juicer

I’ve tested it and it works well not just for the quality of links, which is low but on how they’re obtained

  • Links are anemic, lacking power on an individual basis
  • Value to this services lie in consistent and natural link velocity
  • You get backlinks from blogs
  • You get backlinks from ebook sites
  • You get social bookmarking backlinks
  • You get 1500 links a month
  • Article spinning takes a long time, (when doesn’t it?)
  • Almost 100% DoFollow links
  • Auto-submissions to 19 ebooks sites (13 successful last time tried)
  • Auto-submission to 16 types of blog platforms (DoFollow)
  • Auto-submits to 7 Dofollow bookmark sites and 3 NoFollow sites
  • Tapping into a real 20,000 site network here

You can go to The Link Juicer to check this service out. 

Recommended LinkBuilding Service #1 – > BackLink Solutions:

 

This system works the same as LinkVana but it has different levels of membership, and just to show you how cool Dave Kelley from LinkVana is about having competition, Dave’s got a testimonial on BackLink Solution’s sales page here.

Note: It is extremely rare in the SEO world to see a competitor giving a testimonial on another’s sales page.

The upside to BackLink Solutions: varying degrees of membership levels so you’re not paying LinkVana prices for LinkVana-quality backlinks.

The higher membership level promises more links from better quality sites, ranging from Page Rank 2-5… this level also offers social bookmarking which is essential for adding to the variety of backlinks your sites are getting (good SEO practice there and these social bookmarking links aren’t available with LinkVana, which is why Backlink solutions is now the #1 recommended service).

The downside to BackLink Solutions:

At first login, the back office is really, really confusing, but can be made VERY simple to use with my method for using this service, then it goes from extremely hard to navigate to “too easy”…

NOTE: I also made a video that explains how to use this service and get up to speed quickly so the back office drawback has been fixed (by yours truly’s video tutorial)

The lower level membership has less than 300 blogs, but higher level would give you access to 600 plus blogs, which is even more powerful.

Length of time testing:

  1. Close to 2 months now at lower membership level which definitely works well.
  2. Upgraded to higher level membership at end of 2 months to test the differences between the 2 levels

Conclusion:

BackLink Solutions works well, and I recommend joining at the lower Associate Level for a month, see how well it works, then upgrading to the full membership from inside your member’s area after 28 days.

That’s the only way to get their full membership right now, which the sales page says is closed.

It’s not really closed, just join as an associate and try it out for 28 days then upgrade to full membership before the lower level subscriptions auto-renews. By then you’ll know how well this works and you’ll feel comfortable upgrading…

NOTE: I am trying to delay recommending linkbuilding services until after 90 days has passed, but BLS made it pretty easy to determine how well it works.

UPDATE: Been a member for 5-plus months, 3 as an upgraded member, and still very pleased with the service and recommending it wholeheartedly.

Recommended LinkBuilding Service #2 – > Unique Article Wizard –

The upside to Unique Article wizard - You get links, and lots of them.

Unique Article Wizard is so powerful that it is considered best practice to “spin” your URLs and Keywords from within the article you submit so you don’t risk overlinking.

The additional plus side to this is one article “spun” to kingdom come could probably provide backlinks to your whole site..with one article!

That’s powerful stuff…

Oh yeah, plus there’s the viral article distribution features they have incorporated whereby other sites can find your articles on the other sites hosting your article and republish them via your Special UAW article link…

The downside to Unique Article Wizard- tiny bit of a learning curve here, and there’s a 24-hour wait time before your articles go live.

You get so many links so quickly you will have to lower your submission rate as much as possible to avoid overlinking.

Other than those 2 little things, there’s not much that’s bad about Unique Article Wizard.

The Upside to Unique Article Wizard - This is truly a super-powerful and effective system when you consider the cost (it’s only $57.00/month) and how it doesn’t require a lot of your time to use it effectively.

The absolute BEAUTY of their system is the fact that one article can have the anchor text AND the URLS they’re linking to spun so that one article can literally be linking to 15 different urls using 15 different keywords for anchor text.

The reason I know this is because I’ve tried it and it works awesome! I have a network of blogs that generally re-purpose my content therefore the keywords being targeted are usually the same for all the similar posts.

So when I want to write just 1 article to get 5-6 sites highly ranked for a term or two or three or four, I simply spin or rotate the URLs and anchor text around to take full advantage of the massive amounts of links Unique Article Wizard generates.

As a matter of fact, I strongly recommend that you get links to many different sites as possible when you submit articles to Unique Article Wizard because if all those links goes to the same site, it’s a damned shame to waste most of them by “overlinking“.

What is the best Article Marketing Syndication Tool available for the public today?

It is hands down, without a doubt…. Unique Article Wizard.

Submit your article to hundreds of sites

Even their sales page is Unique and written with empathy as you can see if you go here

However, if you only have a few sites and not a whole lot of content, then The Link Juicer will do you fine, too

Length of time testing The Link Juicer and Unique Article Wizard: 2-plus months for The Link Juicer, 2 1/2 months with Unique Article Wizard

Conclusion? Both The Link Juicer and Unique Article Wizard are recommended services, but Unique Article Wizard is powerful (almost too powerful) so you should use it wisely, limit your submissions pace and spin as much as you can. Basically, just use whichever service fits you best right now…


Recommended LinkBuilding Service #3 – > LinkVana

 

The upside to LinkVana - effective, powerful links that can do a lot for you in minimal time without slamming your sites with hundreds of backlinks. Backlinks are coming from high Page Rank, frequently spidered sites, backlinks come from unique content you create and post to their powerful blogs.

The downside to LinkVana - price is high, takes a while for new members to get set up with receiving links, and you only get blog backlinks. And while you may only need a few links per month with them, it still takes time to write the necessary 100-word blurbs with their service, but you can outsource this for 2 dollars/post too.

Length of time testing: 13-plus months, and the links “stuck” and had effects on the urls they pointed to. Not a member there any more for various reasons, none of which have to do with their service…

Conclusion? This service is recommended for people with money, and definitive reasons why high rankings will improve the income for at least 5-10 sites. LinkVana has been known to push people over the top when they were stuck in the SERPs at a certain ranking point. Good for getting powerful blog backlinks… but you still need other types of links (article marketing, forums, social bookmarking etc…). You won’t see a more powerful blog network for linkbuilding than LinkVana

Join LinkVana through this link to receive 25 blurb posts written for you during month 2 of your stay with them. You will also receive a sites appraisal by me ($147.00 value) right after you’ve joined and contacted me.

Recommended LinkBuilding Service #4 > The Link Juicer

With The Link Juiicer should be called Unique link building service because it does a lot of stuff I’ve never seen done with a link building service.

Instead of focusing on building a high Page Rank network of sites like Backlink solutions and LinkVana does, The Link juicer focuses on link varietysitesy Article Network you’re (supposedly) tapping into a network of 20,000 blogs which means you have plenty of relevant sites to get backlinks from.  Your start getting backlinks almost immediately with them, whereas Unique Article Wizard holds your articles for review and will start your submissions for you within 24 hours of your article being submitted.

My Article Network has shown me that it does in fact deliver a lot of links and the only question that remains is how powerful are those links?

The downside to The Link Juiicer - the links by themeslves are lacking in power.  Nowadays social bookmarking is good for getting sites indexed and that’s about it, and social bookmarking is part of what The Link juicer does.

Now, even though these links are seemingly without much link juice behind them, they do work well and for a certain reason.  I will get to that in a minute.

The Upside to The Link Juiicer - The secret to the effectiveness of this service is that a high percentage of these links are sticking, whereas is you used an AutoPligg tool or something like Bookmarking Demon, you’d only get a small percentage of those links to stick.

The Link Juicer doesn’t “do” social bookmarking blasts, nor does it do article blasting.  Instead is gives you a variety of links while maintaining a natural link velocity that seems to generate links that stick very well.  In the long run, it’s not how many links you generate that count, but how many links “stick”…

You’re not going to get ranked for super-hard competitive terms here, but could definitely be considered a one-stop shop for a link building service since it deliver all types of backlinks, thereby creating a natural-looking link propfile.

It’s only $47.00/month and well worth the money.  Peter is a good guy and very supportive

Length of time testing: 5 months approximately.  Be patient with this service, as it will give you a natural climb up the SERPs.  It does a slow-and-steady wins the race type of SEPRs attainment.

Conclusion - Good for keywords and phrases of medium difficulty to easy level.  any harder than that will be tough to rank for with The Link Juicer.  They have a built in spinner that checks for uniqueness of content is creates blogs posts and ebooks out of, which is very nice.

Coolness factor: You can stop and start campaigns with a click of a button, so if you saw a site  URL that started dropping in the SERPs, just turn things back on again, and it starts pumping out links for you again
