Yes, that’s an aff link, and there was no intent to deceive on my part. Sorry if it looks otherwise, and I used to have a review page there with a video, but we lost it after a hacking and never replaced it, just redirected instead…

Why are you using the link http://www.link-vana.com to it, when domain is http://www.linkvana.com – is that your affiliate link with a redirect?

Thanks for the info Scott, trying to decide between this software and another one that is on the market that is about the same price. Tough decision.!

I just signed up as I have several adsense sites I plan to use this with. Plan to use it until a Backlink Solutions spot becomes available.

And this is not considered PAID links by Google, I can guarantee that. Read up on what Google considers paid links and how the LinkVana system works and you will see what I’m talking about.

Another good linking solution is Link Juicer, as it’s far cheaper and you don’t need 1 full blog post per link, which I think is total overkill and ridiculous. Been using it for awhile with decent results.

It’s impossible to say what’s “good enough” because every niche / market / website has different needs and competition. You can use LV for many different sites, but if you d o3-4 per day for any domain it’s likely going t obe FAR too many unless you are building 10+ per day through other methods too. The key to success for me withLV has been MODERATION and I’d never let it be more than 1/3 of the total links I’m building for a given domain.

Not sure how I never answered this, I’m sorry – Anyway, yes they’re secret, but I simply went to them after discovery of my own backlink.

I was doing research on Linkvana and I found your site, and I see you been with then since 2007, and are you still a member and you recommend the services, I also notice that you can make unlimited post per day with LV do you recommend this or 3 or 4 per day it good enough.

sure, there are some that would turn others in, but as I said, these are not really distinguishable as “paid links” anyway – they’re in the context of a blog post. Sure PPP got hit hasrd, and so did / do the link rental networks, bu that doesn’t mean it’s been stopped.

The sad truth is that there’s NO WAY for someone to break in to a c1ompetitive market without some sort of paid link exposure. None. Anyone doing well without buying / renting / bribing for links has a well aged domain that’s been there for years. —-

Do let me know About BL solutions – sounds interesting – Back ways to get in, huh?

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the reply! As far as not being concerned with paid backlinks, you might not report anyone but there are still those that might report you especially in a competitive niche.

There’s probably a lot of link selling and buying that goes on under the table that Google conveniently turns its back on but it’s still something I worry about. The guys who did those PPP (pay per post) things got hit hard in terms of having their PR slammed to 0.

Then again, I noticed that you wrote your first LV review in 2007 so I’m assuming that you’ve been okay since then. As far as Backlink Solutions, there are actually backways to get in. I’m going to be signing up for them pretty soon so I’ll be sure to let you know how it performs.

I don’t do much Adsense, but you’d never want t violate anyone’s TOS, especially Googles! As far as reporting these as paid links. I have no fear of that, since the links aren’t really paid, it’s an article being written for (or by) you, and the sites that go on are not obviously “selling” links, of the type you’d find in a sidebar or footer. I’ve never personally reported anyone for anything, and I doubt anyones backlink profile could stand up to close scrutiny anyway. – Furthermore, it’s my belief that Google will NEVER penalize anyone for buying links, lest an entire industry crop up to “damage your competitor” buy buying them links. Google simple devalues or “doesn’t count” inbound links that they determine to be paid.

Nope, not tried Backlink Solutions – I see it’s closed though… ;(
