		<description>So, what&#039;s the end result? Is LinkVana worth it&#039;s price and efforts or... not?

Did your sites get more traffic,earn more money, or was it a bust?

Thanks.</description>

		<description>Since it would actually be MORE work to remove them, I&#039;m confident in saying that they would remain in place whether or not you kept your subscription to Linkvana.

Neurolinker, huh? It looks interesting, although, the fact that you have to put code on your site, and it posts links on your site automatically, would make it a bit riskier... looks interesting though!</description>

		<description>Hey Scott,

Thanks for the review. Right now I&#039;m with a cheaper service called Neurolinker, which is only 19.95. However, the pages that you get links from have 100s of links and your site also has to give away 100s of links in exchange for those. However they say these are one way links....I never bothered to check if it is true. I recently read an article and realized that should I one day decide to quit using their service, or should they decide to quit providing service, what will happen to my links? I asked them this question and the answer was that I will lose all those links should I decide to unsubscribe one day.
Do you know what happens in the case of LinkVana, if and when you decide to unsubcribe? 
Say you&#039;re going to be with them for 100 days, and you&#039;ve gotten 300 links altogether during those 100 days to each site of yours and for some reason you had to unsubscribe from them? If these links are not permenant, and then suddenly these 300 links are taken away from your site, I don&#039;t think that&#039;s going to be a pretty picture with Google.
What&#039;s your take on this? Please let me know. Thanks and if I buy linkvana, I&#039;ll be sure to use your link :-)</description>

		<description>Yes, $2 outsourced authors, and their posts have to be 100 words or more minimum.</description>

		<description>Did somebody say that the Linkvana staff would write the blog entry for you for just $2 a post! How many lines of text do they write for $2? Does anybody know? I can&#039;t believe you get much for $2!</description>

		<description>thanks for commenting Sean, and no you&#039;re not &quot;wrong&quot;, but there are a few things you may not have thought of...

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 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pdxtc.com/wpblog/link-building/diversity-is-a-key-to-good-link-building/&quot;&gt;diversify your inbound Link profile&lt;/a&gt; and that building links from any one place alone is foolish. Linkvana is just another tool, (although a very effective one).</description>

		<description>Hi Scott,
I was searching for info on Linkvana and found your blog. Thanks for the good info!

Now, what I was wondering is, what is the difference between submitting an article to hundreds over article directories and Linkvana? I mean, it&#039;s the same isn&#039;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&#039;s a lot cheaper than LV. Was just wondering, maybe I&#039;m wrong. :)</description>

		<description>Re: 20 links a day - that seems totally legitimate and white hat to me too, as it is simply a content distribution method, that happens to build links, in the same way Link-vana.com is, but on a larger scale. 

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.</description>

		<description>Hi Jez, and thanks for commenting. 
I agree that the networks size could be larger for the number of users, but remember, it&#039;s only another tool. 

You can&#039;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 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pdxtc.com/wpblog/link-building/diversity-is-a-key-to-good-link-building/&quot;&gt;diversity is the key to good link building&lt;/a&gt;.  

So far, I&#039;ve been real satisfied with what I&#039;ve seen, and the results prove themselves month after month It&#039;s also especially good for quickly getting new sites indexed.

Thanks again for commenting!</description>
