Guys, i just wanted to find out are there still any users of the popular former link building tools such as Xrumer, Senuke, BMD etc and how is their experience after Google update? I have read alot about how people have criticized and even condemned the use of these tools even those who never used it before. Now that Google changed their algorithms for ranking, how effective are these tools and how do you use them in link building? Anybody wanna share his/her experience..Thanks

    They still work, It just depends on how you are using them, and what you are using them on.

      Thumbs up for this.

      @OP: In simple words, if you don't know how to use them with solid strategy, then you're playing with fire

      Don't take this wrong way as it is in no way a personal attack... but I really do hate replies of this nature.

      While they do make sense to the person who is posting the reply; to the person(s) asking-- and whom the information would be most helpful to --they mean absolutely nothing. :confused:

    They might give you a boost initially but not a success formula. There is no alternative to genuine and planned optimization. Link wheel, BMD .. They are just an eyewash.

    Just got back from a #BrightonSEO. I was given room 404 in the hotel I stayed at. Couldn’t find it anywhere!

    I haven't touched them in ages and they will likely do more harm than good these days. The times of "links only" are coming to an end, these days, start with your CONTENT plus where you will place it, see the link you will be getting as a result of your (good) content, not the other way around. All the automated tools do is spamming a high number of links where the content only serves as medium "to get a link"..blasting bad content to crappy, worthless web2.0 sites.
    You are better off putting some GOOD piece of content netting you ONE link to some established site as opposed to blasting 100s of profiles etc. which will ultimately rather hurt your site and not benefit you.

    They still work. The best way to use these is with other link building techniques.

    Make quality manual backlinks for your site using your main kw and long tailed keywords for your anchor text (90%) and the rest (10%) random text. Then use automated tools to dilute your anchor text - make only 10-15% of your anchor text your main kw, the rest make it a random text.

    Don't blast your website with 100s and 1000s of backlinks in one day either, instead drip feed them 10-50 every day until you reach #1 for your keyword while still keeping up with quality backlink building.

    Hope that helps. Good luck!

      I dont suggest it unless you are using these tools on second or third tier sites. Definitely dont send it directly to your money site.

    The highly recommended way to automate you link building is using software to collect the information about your links and about your competitors’ link mass.



    For instance, Xrumer is a forum spam tool. Do you really need spam? It can (can, not will for sure) boost your rankings at once. You can really rise your rankings for one or three updates, maybe more, maybe you won’t be punished by SEs, but what’s then?



    It depends on your project. Link spam is a black SEO method no matter whether is works or not. If your project is not, well, long-term, trustworthy or connected with real offline business, then you may use it. But if you need long-term accumulative effect, loyal clients, good reputation etc, you should think of using fair and smart methods. Having experience of working with big clients, I can say they never appreciate unreliable promotion. The top-5 in most competitive industries is actually the battle of best trusted and newest working SEO methods.

    Tools like GSA Search Engine Ranker, UltimateDemon, LinkWheel Bandit, etc., are fantastic for building links in tiered link-building schemes. This strategy can get you ranked quickly, then you can keep the rank by links from high-quality private blog networks.

    If you use multi-tiered link building and ONLY multi-tiered link building, you'll rank for a few months then start losing rank if you don't back it up with other link sources.

    EDIT: Having said that, some people have an "assembly line" strategy of continually building new money sites so as one loses rank, the new one climbs in rank and replaces it. But sooner or later, an algo update will whack out multi-tiered link building entirely so it's only a matter of time.

    I think automated linkbuilding tools can only be used effectively for account creation. As far as posting content and links go, you should absolutely create unique well thought out articles/content that users will be satisfied to have found.
