1. When you submit an article to a bunch of directories, that content in many cases is duplicated and ignored by the search engines.

2. Individual link text can point to individual landing pages, whereas in an author biography it tends to remain consistent from site to site.

3. Each linkvana post is unique, pointed to the landing page you wish, with the anchor text you wish, and surrounded by relevant text both before and after the link (assuming you do it correctly).

This is certainly not something you can do with the article directories, (but if you know of directories that allow this please tell me!).

4.Typical blogs display recent entries on their front page, so new posts will get exposure on a page with PR, typically for a least a couple of weeks.

5. The value of article directory marketing has been diminished greatly over the past 18 months or so, but I do personally still use it as a link building tactic. However, most experts agree that you need to diversify your inbound Link profile and that building links from any one place alone is foolish. Linkvana is just another tool, (although a very effective one).

Now, what I was wondering is, what is the difference between submitting an article to hundreds over article directories and Linkvana? I mean, it’s the same isn’t it in term of links. If an article get posted to a blog, it will be on a new page with no PR. If an article is posted on an article directory, it will also be on a page with no PR. Link strength would be the same but at least on the article directory side, we have ezinearticles, which has a strong PR6 main page. I doubt LV has any domain with this kind of authority. As for submitting to a few hundred directories, you can always pay someone to do it and it’s a lot cheaper than LV. Was just wondering, maybe I’m wrong.

They even specify no Markov (spun) content, no duplicate content etc. and if their network is as good as they say, it could really be something

It seems like it would be great if someone actually had the time to put 600 unique articles with the anchor text of your choice in each and every month, while the biggest appeal to me in Link-Vana is the outsourcing.

You can’t rely on any one service, and this is just another tool in the arsenal. It would be nice if there was one place to go, but diversity is the key to good link building.

So far, I’ve been real satisfied with what I’ve seen, and the results prove themselves month after month It’s also especially good for quickly getting new sites indexed.

Thanks again for commenting!

I dont think that “hundreds” of blogs is enough to support 300 users… that would be my concern with linkvana

I have looked at 20linksaday, they claim to have thousands of blogs which will be limited to 100 users, though its more money, and they make few claims about the PR of the sites…

Also, they all go on about IP distribution… cos that easy peasy to solve isn’t it… but what about WHOIS???

Will use your aff link if I sign up… subject to few questions being answered by linkvana…

I’ve been seeing the links continuing to happen, although there was a misconception on my part that one post would get added to multiple blogs.

That’s not true, and each post is only appearing in one place - no dup content is taking place, which is good.

You need a license per each PC, but it can save your “white hat ethical subject relevant blog comment linkbuilder” a TON of time, (and I mean a TON)
