Is this a good SEO service

[Lee McKenna]

Hello,

I just want to ask if anyone has ever used this link network before...

Elite Link Network |

Is it safe to use for SEO?

I've been told I can pay $0.50 for one article with a backlink.

Just wanted to know what others think before going ahead.

Hey Lee

To be honest I've never heard of them...

..Now, that doesn't mean they aren't a good network, but I've never heard of them....

One thing I'd be slightly hesitant about is that they allow spun content.

Recently Google's been cracking down on blog networks, HARD!

Also, I'd be slightly hesitant of the fact that there is no editorial review either. This means that crappy content, porn links, or god knows what else can slip through very easily.

Be cautious of that.

But, I will say this. Everything else looks great, why not give it a shot and let us know how it goes?

In my opinion it is more powerful than any network offered by anyone on WF. If you found some of the keywords they are getting top rankings for, you would be pretty impressed.

However, their real power is in purchasing the sticky posts on their domains. Those having the most success with them are doing that. So if you really want to get the most out of their network, be prepared to spend more.

I would give them a go but I'm just worried incase it hurts my rankings with Google or if I will get penalised in some way?

But I've also been told that this is not possible because that way your competition could easily hurt your site buy submitting it to bad networks?

Then again I've had people say stay away from bad networks because it can hurt you?

Its confusing

I dunno Mike theres some pretty big warning signs going off in my mind when I read that sales letter. If not blowing smoke thats a sweet network that you and I know took a pretty penny to build (if the numbers are real and not made up).

Then after they made all that investment they open it up to 200 posts a day of spun content per user with no moderation or quality control and instant approval of anything a member wants to post?

I know its maximum 100 users but thats still up to 20.000 posts on a 550 domain network which works out to 30+ posts of spun content a day (plus the sticky posts you mentioned that will make links roll off even quicker). Given the price I would think that at least some people are going to go after some terms that will have competitors looking over their links .

Seems to me this network is begging to be deindexed. There just has to be other details to protect their investment yet they don't have any conditions shown before you hit the subscribe button [edit okay its at the top of the sales letter in a link but it only would catch violations after the fact]. SO as of now I think the size of this network is smoke (or the blogs are run by multiple owners). I am probably entirely wrong but its just that I can't see anyone making that kind of investment and having their own seo clients on this network exposing it like that.

I can't view the site. It's a "database error". I think their site's having some problems. There are lots of other SEO services that offer quality work. You can check Canada's premier SEO service provider 'Wakonda Marketing'. They're one of the best.

I think RevSEO hit the nail on the head there. Google is cracking down hard on article marketing. Although Google said that the last Panda update only affected 2% of sites, I think they were all article marketers.

So proceed cautiously, you might be paying money to drive your site down in the SERPs.

I work with the guy who owns this site and I can vouch for its effectiveness. There are a ton of high PR sites juicing rankings and we have achieved ridiculous client rankings with these exact sites.

My main concern is:

1. Too many people posting. We have less than 100 members but allow unlimited posts, so it is likely creating a footprint.

2. Spun content. This also creates a footprint and can be problematic.

Anyways, we are working to constantly have a supply of fresh new sites in the network buying up an average of around 50-100 domains per month. The network is always growing and has some crazy rankings to prove its effectiveness.

We might even have a few slots opening up soon. PM me if you want details.

Sorry about bumping this old thread, but I wanted to report the status of elitelinknetwork.com (which was recommended in a WSO about 4 months back)

Their site is now shut down, with this as their final message:

"Based on the more aggressive nature Google is taking towards blog and home page networks, we have decided to close ELN down permanently"

"UPDATE: Due to rapid loss of sites to de-indexing, the tool will be going offline sooner than expected. We are sorry."

Posting tools' last day appeared to be: March 2nd, 2012.

This probably reflects on all of the blog networks out there, I recall a big name SEO guru citing several cases of busted networks continuing to sell their service even after pr had vaporized.

it's died already, Big G hunted down networks like this

Hi, To be honestly that We never heard about them but $0.50 to judge their services. I believe it's reliable to judge their service. You should try them without any doubt.

[DaveSmith09]

Never heard of it before. Why dont you try and let us know too
