Backlink Booster

It is affiliated with Sean Donahue. You only install it on one domain but I believe you can use it for all of your sites.

Webalytics thanks for your review. Have you or anyone else tried Linklicious which is supposed to be a similar service at $19 a month?

And what are those risks?

Thank you very much. We just turned link processing back on after we installed our update to the Boosting Network, and it will take a couple days to ramp up to full speed. But then it will be boosting your links at the LinkFlow Level you set for your account.

Best Regards,

Tom

Hi Malc,

Based on the date you started using it (Feb 2010), I'm guessing you were using Sean's Backlink Booster and not BacklinkBooster.com since that was before we opened BacklinkBooster.com to the public. (People often confuse BacklinkBooster.com with Sean's product due to the similar names.)

Best Regards,

Tom

Hi Ehsan_am,

Getting your links indexed depends upon how quickly Google and the other search engines update their indexes with those links. In our experience, it can take anywhere from a week to more than a month, depending upon the quality of the linking page and how much boosting you do.

Since Google can be fickle with what they do or don't index, we recommend periodically reboosting your links via your Backlink Booster account until they get indexed.

FYI...we are developing a new feature for Backlink Booster that will automatically check your links to see if they have been indexed yet or not and will automatically reboost them for you until they get indexed. (You will also be able to view reports on your indexation rate.) This will greatly help increase your indexation rates, and I'll be sure to let you know when this new feature is available.

Best Regards,

Tom

Ehsan_am,

That's an excellent question, and I'd be happy to give some background on why it helps. It's kind of a long answer, so please bear with me.

Backlink Booster boosts your backlinks at 3 levels to generate as many unique links to your backlinks as possible. These new links help to both get your backlinks indexed quickly and to also increase the amount of link juice each backlink sends to your website.

To give some background so I can properly answer your question, the 3 levels of boosting are:

1. System Level Boosting. At this level, all backlinks for all accounts within Backlink Booster are aggregated by category and boosted as follows:

a. They are published via RSS feeds for each category
b. They are posted on Web2.0 accounts for each category
c. Links are placed on our network of InContent sites for each category
d. Each link is Pinged to the search engines and ping sites.

System Level Boosting generates a lot of links to your backlink, and this represents about 50% of your boosting power. It happens automatically without you having to set anything up for your account.

2. Account Level Boosting. At this level, Backlink Booster aggregates all of the links for just YOUR ACCOUNT and creates a custom RSS feed for your account. You can then submit this RSS feed to RSS directories (or our setup service will submit it to 100 directories for $6) for XTRA boosting, which generates lot of additional links to your backlink.

In addition, you can tie Web2.0 accounts to your account via Ping.FM (or our setup service will setup 32 web2.0 accounts and tie them to a new Ping.FM account for $9), and Backlink Booster will also boost your links across those Web2.0 accounts. This generates even more backlinks to your backlink.

Overall, Account Level boosting generates about 25% of your boosting power for your backlinks, and it is completely optional to setup.

3. Site Level Boosting. This works similar to Account Level boosting, except Backlink Booster aggregates the links in your account BY SITE and creates a custom RSS feed for each site. You can submit each site's feed to RSS directories for XTRA boosting and also tie Web2.0 accounts to each site for XTRA Boosting for that site. The result is lots of additional links to your backlinks from a variety of different pages on the internet.

Site Level boosting generates about 25% of your boosting for each site. This is optional to setup, and you can set it up for as few or as many of your sites as you want.

My recommendation is to setup Account Level boosting for your account to boost your backlinks in conjunction with System Level boosting (which happens automatically). It is pretty easy to setup Account Level boosting, and it increases your boosting power quite a bit because it generates so many more links to your backlinks.

Site Level boosting depends upon how many websites you have setup in your account. If you have just a few sites for which you are boosting backlinks you might want to set them all up for Site Level Boosting because it will generate a lot of extra links to each of your site's backlinks. However, if you have dozens or hundreds of sites, it would be a very daunting task to setup each site. In this instance, you might want to setup Site Level Boosting for a couple sites and test to see if there is any difference in getting your links indexed. In our tests it has definitely helped, but that might not be the same for all sites.

One thing to remember is you can always start basic with just System Level boosting and then add Account and/or Site Level boosting as you go along. And you also have the option to have any/all of your links re-boosted at any time. So if you setup Account Level boosting in the future, you would want to reset your boosted links so they are automatically boosted again to take advantage of the Account Level boosting power you added to your account.

I hope I explained this clearly. I realize it can be a bit confusing, and we are working on a video to help explain everything better. In the meantime, please let me know if you have more questions and I would be happy to help.

Best Regards,

Tom

As i'm writing this message, the upgrade will be complete in 04 hours, 31 minutes 21 seconds.

If the upgrade won't be finished by then, then i will decide whether to keep it or not.

Same here. Anyway, I was happy with BB service before, especially when used with other link building network. Hopefully they will settle this problem ASAP. Otherwise, I'm not going to continue my subscription.

Thank you very much...I appreciate that.

I've been pulling my hair out this weekend because the cutover is taking SOOOOO long to complete. We planned this cutover out in advance, tested porting chunks of data, estimated the completion time, and published the countdown timer based on an inflated version of that estimate. We felt confident about meeting the time frame, and were excited for the cutover.

And then as we increased the porting volume during the cutover, the porting slowed down quite a bit from our testing. And after about 6 hours we realized our original estimated cutover time was not long enough. That's when we changed the countdown timer to the new anticipated completion time.

DETAILS: For those who want more of an explanation on why the cutover is taking so long, I'd be happy to provide more details. We are porting roughly 30 million records to a new database that has a completely different schema. (Our new system compartmentalizes data across hundreds of smaller tables so we can process multiple sets of data simultaneously, which enables much faster link processing.) As a result, each record needs to be analyzed and assigned to a new table in the database. (A straight cutover to a new database without having to analyze the data would have gone very quickly.)

While this happens very quickly on a per record basis, it is taking a long time to get through 30 million records. And the reason it is taking longer than we projected is because the processing slows down as more data is ported into the new tables since our system now has more data to analyze on the back end for each record being imported into a table.

The long delay makes you (and all of our customers) frustrated, and it makes us look incompetent. As James posted above, it's not a great way to build trust. We agree completely and I apologize again.

These are growing pains I wish none of us had to experience, but this is an upgrade that we needed to implement to make the system more powerful. The good news is we only have to do it once, and we are really excited about the new system. And we will be VERY glad when the cutover is done so you can actually use it!!!

Hopefully this explains everything, and I'll be sure to keep my future updates shorter with just the status and estimated completed time. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Best Regards,

Tom

Hi James...I'll check on that right away. I apologize for the delay in responding.

Best Regards,

Tom

We have everything ready to go and are just waiting for the links to finish porting to the new database. I just checked the numbers and that will happen sometime tonight, and we will turn boosting back on full speed the second that happens.

I'll be sure to post updates throughout the day to keep everybody up to date on the progress.

Best Regards,

Tom

Backlink Booster grew extremely fast, and we outgrew our old system much faster than we anticipated. Unfortunately, we hit a processing wall before we could get our upgraded system in place and experienced severe growing pains.

To address this issue, we completely overhauled our systems over the past 6 weeks. This was complicated by keeping the old system running while building a new system on top of it. This created even more pains and caused the upgrade to take longer than anticipated, for which I'm very sorry.

The good news is, we just completed the upgrade to our system and we are bringing all the processes back up in a controlled manner to ensure everything works properly. So far, so good and the final processes come back online today.

Going forward, the system will be MUCH more powerful than in the past. We used to be able to boost up to 1 million links per month and we can now boost more than 50 million links per month. Plus, we can quickly scale that even higher as needed, which should ensure we don't experience growing pains again in the future.

In addition, we can now focus on finalizing several new features we were working on before we had to shift 100% of our focus to the upgrade. Specifically, we are finalizing the IndexChecker tool that will automatically check your backlinks to see if they have been indexed yet or not. From within Backlink Booster, you will be able to view reports on your overall indexation rate, as well as indexation details at your site and link level. This has been the most-requested feature, and it is at the top of our development list.

In conjunction with IndexChecker, we are developing Auto ReBoost. This will use the IndexChecker data and automatically reboost any of your links that haven't been indexed yet until they get indexed. In testing this has proven to be VERY effective at increasing the indexation rate and we look forward to adding it to Backlink Booster.

We also have additional features and tools on our development list, and I'll keep you posted on our progress as those are added to Backlink Booster.

Again, I REALLY appreciate everybody's patience on this upgrade. We were caught off-guard, but it won't happen again. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know and I would be happy to address them.

Best Regards,

Tom

Hi James,

This past month has been very frustrating for everybody, and I sincerely apologize. We grew very fast and everything came to a critical stage this past month. As a result, we had to quickly undertake a major upgrade to Backlink Booster to handle the growth. Unfortunately this is exactly when you subscribed so you have gone through the worst of it.

Normally we would work on an upgrade in the background and then just release it when it was ready. That way there would be no missed dates or delays.

But this was a very unique situation since we had to do the upgrade "on the fly" to handle the load on the system. And to be honest, I completely mismanaged the time frame it would take to complete this upgrade.

Whenever I posted a delivery date I sincerely believed we would be done on (or before) that date, but issues would always come up along the way that would push the date back. It was not intentional, and I was embarrassed every time I had to change the date. I learned a strong lesson from this and will take it into account on any future upgrades.

The good news is this was a one-time upgrade and we have been bringing things back online this past week. We have a bit of tweaking to do the rest of this week with reports, but the worst is behind us.

Going forward the system should work better than ever as processing is VERY fast with the new system. The new system will also enable us to complete and launch several additional tools we have been working on (IndexChecker, Auto ReBoost, etc.)

I hope this sheds some light on what happened and why, and where we currently are in the process. I'm not trying to make any excuses...I just want to be upfront and let everybody know what happened.

Please let me know if you have any questions and I would be happy to answer them.

Best Regards,

Tom

James, I understand your frustration - I feel exactly the same way. I joined BacklinkBooster.com about six weeks ago, and I don't think any of my links have been boosted for about 3 weeks or more now. I still have nearly 1000 links still sitting in the "Ready to Boost" Queue, and they've been there for weeks.

While I don't feel I'm getting my money's worth so far this month, I am going to cut Tom a break and continue the service for the next month, hoping he can get wrinkles worked out of the new system. I know what's it's like to have unforeseen technical issues when upgrading or changing things, and I would hope my customers/users would give me some grace as well.

The concept of BacklinkBooster.com is great, and saves me a lot of time by not having to boost the links myself with a program like Bookmarking Demon. I really want this system to work, and I want to see Tom succeed.

That said, perhaps Tom can offer his customers a discount or credit on a month's service, since there seems to have been little to no backlink boosting for the better part of a month. Just a thought to incentivize current customers to stay with this system while all upgrades are being completed.

It's up now, but not all reports are working. According to reports available, it appears I've had little to no links boosted for 21 days now. I still have 972 links still sitting there "ready to boost," with 400 more pending link checker.

Since there's been virtually no service for the better part of a month, I would like to see some sort of discount or credit issued to subscribers to make up for lack of service. If Tom/BacklinkBooster.com doesn't reply here, perhaps I will contact him and request such. Might be a good idea for others here to do the same, if you feel you've not received the service you paid for.

I agree, this past few weeks should be no charge or refunded, we are paying for a service that we are just not getting

Hope its all sorted soon as i think this would be a great service and very popular with many others

I shall hang on for a little longer

Good point James. I don't know why he has not been on this thread recently. I can only hope and assume that he is so busy working to fix the problems with BB that he just hasn't had time to come here lately. I just hope everything gets fixed soon because I need my links boosted!

I am pleased its working for you as i have still had nothing and my support is still not answered

Such a shame, after some research this really did seem to be the best out there

Going to find another, I heard backlinksindexer is good too

Latest Update on Backlink Booster

BacklinkBooster.com is really humming along now, and all of my pending backlinks have been boosted. Tom has also been very good to answer all of my questions and he has addressed my concerns. I'm definitely sticking with this service as it does exactly what I need it to do.

My links have started to move now and my support tickets were answered

Will see how it goes

I was looking at this service as well, I´ll think I´ll pass. what I really wanted to do was to express my admiration for the guys that stuck with the service. you have unlimited patience, a rare trait nowadays

Is Auto ReBoost up yet? I don't see it yet. And how does that work? Will the links to be ReBoosted be queued up as the next links in boosting queue, or will they be ReBoosted after the other links that are already in the queue are boosted?
