When done right, and with the right strategies implemented, automation can surpass what manual methods achieve.

I took a look at your Unlimited 3 Way links and I guess the $7 a month is
per (which is a great deal)site so if I have 6 sites only $42 a month?

[Daniel McGonagle]

It's $7.00/month now, was $3.00... and that's for as many sites as you got, so up to 250 sites.

So if you have 250 sites that you want to get 3waylinks for, it will only be $7.00/month total.

We'll be releasing the Auto RSS submissions feature soon, too.


Hopefully I get to test it Sunday nite, make a video for it, then let some ALB members test it, then widely release it to everyone.

Most of those are bluefart tools. So if you're talking about 'best' on a primarily white-hat focused forum (which I believe wf is), you're kind of barking up the wrong tree.

Personally, my 2nd favorite tool is SENuke, with XRumer a close third (Market Samurai being my favorite), but I think by posting here, you're going to get bad answers.

If you use my 2nd and 3rd favorite tools without understanding when and where to use them, you will cause more harm than good, and, frankly, in this forum, you want to focus on the white hat methods.

If you want a real opinion on the BH methods, go to a BH forum. For here, I imagine the best tools are Market Samurai, Micro Niche Builder (hard to beat the price for what it does), and other research tools.

When you're looking at using tools for link building, instead of doing it yourself, you're looking at bluefart methods. This is the wrong place for that kind of discussion, or at least that's my perspective.

While that's going on, I'm creating 200 more WPMUS that have my keyword sin them as tags, and will use those later on to get links to my eza articles.


Before I did that, I copied the html republishing code from one of my other EZAS and republished that eza verbatim to 40 wpmus, and that EZA article links to 2 other satellite sites and to a money site, so the eza will get pushed up in the serps and drive traffic to the hub page url it's linking to driving more traffic to the hub url, which in turn makes its links more valuable.

can't do that manually eh!?

Hi Daniel

if you could only afford one between LFE and AutoPligg, what would be your choice? I get the impression that LFE offers some of the functionalities of AutoPligg too, plus the WPMU blog creation?

Thanks

I wonder, is the tool is essential for SEO or building backlick? Will those who do it manually will get condemned?

[searchnology]

Automation has nothing to do with how Google examines your site's backlinks.... Google does consider the age of your site in relation to the link volume. If you are a new site and the links are coming in an unusually high volume and from bad neighborhoods then your site will "dance" quite a bit in the SERPs. This rarely occurs however with establish sites that are at least 3 years old and have a history of continuous link building over time.

[hedzupmarketing]

I agree with that, I need suggestions for link builders that COMPLETELY automate for you. thanks

[MusicisMagic]

Once you get the hang of manual linking, it's not such a big deal. Just like an assembly line...

[Zeb]

No offense to those saying manual link building is the best, when it's not (imo ). You might say this when you have a site or two but what happens when you get 30+ sites to maintain? Are you going to manual link build to all your sites? That would take ages and trust me, you will then look for tools to make your life easier.

[markshields]

I much preferred to use a manual submission. Sometime when you do automated it seems like you are spamming and also you can configured the link correctly.

[thebarksmeow]

Just purchased scrapebox, so we'll see how it goes.

[searchnology]

Tools don't relinquish control....they should just make what you decide to do more efficient.

I do agree with this when it comes to 3rd party services that do the work for you.

*edit... so I don't look like a total jackass, the post above mine has since been deleted and user probably banned.

thanks for the meaningless ancient post bump.

would you care to add why manual link building is better than a tool?

do you have any experience to back up your claims?

did you make a post just to get some backlinks for your webmaster forum?

I don't believe the OP even asked about manual vs auto link building but asked what was the best auto link tool.

Oh yeah... scrapebox isn't half bad. It's the only one I own and use so my experience is obviously limited.

thank you, have a nice day

[NiceBlogger]

Link building tools are not good..the best link building tool is you ! Manual link building is the best solution for growing your site effectively

[jasonmorgan]

see my previous comment

[jamierock]

I'm very much a member of the manual link-building school of thought. I do however use article leveraging on occassion and auto submission to multiple directories.

[JeffLam]

Personally I have used SENuke only and in my humble opinion, it is indeed a very very powerful tool.

In my opinion however (and my experience with automated software development), the main key difference with quality software and 'below quality' software is (gasp! I shouldn't be giving this away..) not the number of features, but HOW WELL and efficient the features actually work and do what they promise!

Honestly, to you software users out there,all the various programs promise abd do so much.. For example, they submit to many sites. However, when you actually make all the submissions, how many end up being successful? Did you have to run it several times to achieve what you wanted initially?

Btw, out of curiosity.. I notice EVO II wasn't mentioned..? Hmm..interesting.

I recently bought and paid $97 for Scrapebox (I over paid I guess as most people spent $47) and in my opinion after backlinking for such a long time for so many hours manually, this tool should be worth several thousand.
If you want to host 200 blogs and autopost the same content to them when they all probably have pr 2 at most, or if you want to give your personal email address to 1000 sites for profile or forum link building and then hope that 200 of these backlinks stick even better, I will stick with scrapebox. If you don't know why or what I am talking about I suggest reading about it.
And also Angela's packets which are great should are just too overexposed to be worthwhile. I took a look the other day and noticed that very few of the backlinks are indexed anymore (about 20%).
Btw this forum is amazing as it introduced to some great ideas for SEO that have allowed me to spend a few hours a night with my family. thanks!

Its funny how so many paranoid folk are saying stuff like "manual link building is better because it wont trigger the spam filter". This makes no sense whatsoever. Ask yourself what happens if you blog about something that goes viral and people link to your blog like crazy. Whats Google gonnal do to you huh ban you, de-index your site, I doubt it because there is a name for this its called the "Real World" and it happens daily. Surely its every marketers dream to have a site or blog post go viral and if it does what are you gonna do get upset because your links are spreading to fast ?

[turbohips]

I can add more than 100 links per day for all of your sites using automated tools very easily. As for people saying manual linking is better, they don't have enough experience to make such claims honestly. Ask any SEO that's been around the block and they will tell you the same.

[max922]

Its Better to do Manual link building and For finding Backlinks of competitor you can use Backlink Check Softwares like SEO Spyglass & other back link checker Soft wares & always build back link on Relevant site to gain positive Response & quality Traffic
Thanks

[rahul222]

Manual link building is best in all the way so get dofollow quality links manually.

[thebarksmeow]

That's bs. Manual is not the "best". Neither is using tools. It's how you utilize the route you choose.

[kakucis]

I am using xrumer hardly and I have tired almost all available software and xrumer is the king. But you must know how to use it and you need to make some combinations. Like LFE or SENUKE and then rumer the hell out of 'em. But all other RSS, Article submitters and blah blah is not worth it. At least to build a many links not only few.

[tonygreg]

No doubt that automated linking can give you links but there is always a chance of declaring you as spam. SO avoid this and try manual linking.

[randfishkin12]

I prefer manual link building. Else one can try traffic bug too. It gives good results.

[djleon1]

It is interesting that many people with low post counts say manual linking and those with high post counts say use tools. Infer what you want from that observation.

As far as the op the tools I have used and/or use are

Scrapebox - works very well

Senuke - tried it, liked it but too expensive

Bookmarking Demon 5 - wonky interface, slow to be updated - got a refund on it

Socialbot - a no brainer for the $$

Autopligg - tested it out but did not see any great results - no support and no manual

Manual linkbuilding - sometimes will go on a binge but slow, tedious and time consuming if you have more than one site

Tools I would love to test out - LFE, Xrumer, UAW and many more

[whiteta]

I hear a great site for enhancing link popularity is: submityourarticle.com-for a mere 47 bucks a month they will professionally edit/design your articles for you and provide with you with the apparatus to be able to exert complete control over how and when they are sent out...I would check it out..It is ideal for anyone marketing/promoting an online business

I would disagree with this.. Check my sig.. My software is not automated but it's also not manual

Great information in this thread but I wonder how those manual linkbuilding folks define "manual"

[echealth]

the truth is that no one is going to tell you guys that they have an automated backlinking tool that is awesome because then, like Angela's packets it will no longer be valuable.
just because manual backlinking is great and awesome doesn't mean that it is better then what they are doing.
I have done both, and will now admit to doing around 90% auto and 10% manual. However when you add up the links that I do that stick, the proportion becomes even more skewed. I am not about to say which way they are skewed as that will take the fun out of it. but for those of you that love the manual, please stick to the manual.

[Sheri11]

As my opinion go to manually submission...... but u want to go automated submission go to DGMax for directory and article submission...

Yes, I have to admit that the authority is very important for a site to get a good ranking, but it is a long process for your site to gain a high authority, in this process, except creating quality backlinks, you also need to submit your site through Senuke or Xrumer to increase popularity.

[john14317]

I think link building is one of the most important way to enhance the link popularity for your website in the web and in this way we can enhance the web presence of our site.

Also to note that quality links not only boost your site's SERP ranking but it helps your site for better opportunity and feasibility of your site in the eye of all search engines.

So it is for sure that you build your links manually and slowly and only deal with good quality links, slow but steady which is the principle for any search engine

[dagaul101]

Good things have been said about Unique Article Wizard, and Bookmarking Demon

[johnpaul]

Do also try Fast Index and Free Backlinks Tool Online on BulkPing.com .... it'll get u 3500 backlinks and all for Free ....

[Marketing Ignite]

Lots of those tools dont work and its just creating spam..if that is the route you want to go dont expect google to keep you up there for long...

[jeremyfarrar]

what do you guys think about senuke x? seems to have loads of good reviews and people saying its the best program out there does anyone here use it? thanks
