Buildmyrank alternatives?

12 replies
Hi,
I was using both Linkvana and BMR before. Both services are good before Panda and Penguin but after that, these networks get de-indexed by Google. Can anyone recommend any link building service which is as powerful as these two after Penguin update?

    May you can have a look here, linkvana seems to have evolved better and equipped with more powerpacks after panda and penguin with this beta launch.

    Linkvana Beta-Program

    as i don't think that any other service is anywhere near close to linkvana and bmr in terms of power and actual results

    In my opinion, you are playing with fire. Blog networks may get you results in the short-term, but in the long-term you are putting your web business on thin ice. If you want to build a "lasting" online business that produces income for many years, I would not touch a blog network. If you care about your business it is simply not worth the risk.

      I agree with Jon. LinkVana seems to have evolved a little bit and I am still posting meagerly on there waiting for the inevitable, but it hasn't happened yet.

      I would recommend building links the old fashioned way, through blog commenting and forum posting and guest posting. It's natural, and Google loves it. There is a download called Comment Kahuna you have to get on this guy's mailing list to get it, but its worth it. It finds dofollow blogs to post on without having to surf the net. Its a platform download in itself.

      Another great tool that I recommend is getting .EDU & .GOV backlinks through commenting. A site called Drop My Link.com is kind of like a search engine. It finds Comment Luv, Keyword Luv, .Edu, .Gov, and a few other blogs that you can post to.

      I will warn you that most of the .gov & .edu blogs will not have a place for your URL, you have to search them out, they are there. There's a great .GOV blog in there where I get killer backlinks from...but I'll let you find it

    I agree with Jon Poland; google delisted the blog networks for a reason! Why would you want to put your site at risk for going something similar?

    Yes I think building backlinks from blog network is not effective anymore since Google has delisted them. We should try building backlink with other methods.

    Wrong advice.

    Blog networks are still useful till now. The problem is with PUBLIC blog networks.

    SEO experts are focusing on PRIVATE blog networks.

      Many of these SEO experts who are now focusing on private networks got a lot of their client sites in trouble because they were recommending public networks in the recent past. Makes me wonder about their level of "expertise."

      Before April 2012 many SEO experts were saying that public networks were completely safe. Now many of the same SEO experts are saying the same thing about private networks.

      I will concede this: the chance of your site getting hammered on a public network is far greater than on a private network.

      It all boils down to how much you value your business. For me, I'm not touching blog networks -- public or private.

    In my opinion, the judge is still out on blog networks. I admit it is dangerous and perhaps for this reason we should stay away. But any link strategy must be complete with a variety of links and that's where blog networks come in. A small amount of blog network links will not harm your rankings, but it better be small. In general quality links is the way to go, which also leaves out blog comment spam and XRumer profile links.

      Its not worth it. Natural, quality backlinks can get you far. These backlinking services can do you harm in the long run. You have already stated that many such services suffered from Google's campaigns to optimized their search results, so why place yourself in the line of fire?

    Uhh... Well Google says this and that, they also say don't build ANY links.

    Of course there is risk with blog networks, but the risk is there with any kind of SEO.

    Look, someone can pull up XRumer, and blast your site, and Google will kill it. There is nothing you can do to stop it, and it's not your fault.

    Google is NOT your friend. All this soft wishy-washy "oh no, but Google said this" crap will get you no where.

    Get a backbone, don't do what Google tells you to do, they don't care about you, the fact you hate your day job or have kids to feed.

    Try it one day, go to your family and say: "Sorry kids, I can't make money online because I'm afraid Google won't like it. You won't have awesome holidays, and Mommy/Daddy will have to work until they're 70 and will never see you during the day."

    Seriously, get a grip, you MUST build links. And lots of them too.

    It pains me so much to see people suffering because they take awful advice like "do nothing, and hope someone gives you quality links". These people are not helping you, ignore them. They are not SEOs!

    You don't have to use blog networks to rank either, but a good one that allows you a lot of control and damage limitation will get you far. If Google kills your site that was making money, clone it, start again. If your site made money once, it will make money again.

    Get some teeth, and take control of your future.
