    Don't spend it on software. They are going to give you mostly garbage links - profile, forum, comments etc. best way to spend that money is with someone that will give you in content on page PR links. More likely than not - bought links.

    Personally I'd spend some of that on making site that attract backlinks but no one on here is really into that (which is why a whole pile of people are stuck at the bottom of page one after spending all kinds of cash).

      Thanx for the advice friend, your right about the software they do give low quality links that are hard to get indexed.

      I would also love to make a site more about people and less about money but right now i need to make a steady income, after that maybe i'll try to make a great site thats attracts natural links.

        No man that actually makes it harder not easier. Common misconception is tht it takes alot of time. money or effort to add some things to your website that makes it more attractive.

        That was the old days. Today you can add a social network, put in reviews, create all kinds of communities without touching code or writing a ton load of content. For a simple experiment in the SEO forums here

        http://www.warriorforum.com/adsense-...c-streams.html

        I am putting up a social network (took ten minutes last night) to make a brand new domain more newsworthy (especially helpful when you are going to do press releases (which are fantastic even at the worst for indexing by the way).

        So it really doesn't take much to make a site more attracting of links these days. If you are trying to do it with just articles thats harder.

      Yes this, but I have found certain programs such as Scrapebox, good for tons of other uses. Also, if you have the money invest into a tool to help you with your research, such as Market Samurai. There is a 40 day trial so you can try that out for now.

        if you are going to invest your money in software then it would be sucks for your income. if you have a good product sale website then you must spend these rupee in content writing and article writing for your site promotions. this can also give you good ranking with good quality links.

      Those tax returns are always nice...

      I agree with Mike, aim for the high PR backlinks. You can find good deals where you can get a backlinks for year on a high PR homepage for cheap on digitalpoint.

      Also, consider buying your own high PR domains to use for backlink building.

        I would simply invest in a keyword tool for about $100 and give that a go. You will be amazed how easily you can do your own SEO if you spend a little time researching how to do it. Don't waste thousands on outsourcing this one. A good keyword tool will let you find high PR links which you can then use to rank your site.

      Yes I agree with your position. What software? Truly the best, most quality links can only gotten through some hard works.

      Linking building should rather be regarded as important as writing content. In fact, Content + Quality Link Building must take precedence.

      With a brand new website:

      1) Spend few dollars on quality articles and submit to about 10 article sites

      2) Hopefully those articles (if they are good quality) will attract the attention of website owners with pr2+ to publish on their site

      3) Buy quality links on 2tier Directories.

      4) Buy few quality links on theme directories and hubs

      5. Ensure the contents on your site are TOP QUALITY so they attract organic linking

      6. Then continue to do the HARD WORK. Exchange links with other webmasters in same and related niche. Be flexible about this. You can write good articles to be published on a PR2+ with a link back to your site...

      Look for few, about 3-5 PR4 sites that may accept some cash plus articles in exchange for links. Even one link will be enough.

      You see, you don't need to build 100s of links at a go - just go for QUALITY and continue to build content.

    Ask the question: "How can I provide the most value possible to the people interested in my products & get them to link back to me naturally?"

    I agree with Mike, don't use it on any spammy programs. If anything spend it on content or a personal assistant to help you free up some time.

      its a good site with well written content in a niche most would avoid because of the competition, thats why i need backlinks because otherwise no one would even find my site to backlink to it naturally.

      While I agree with this in theory, you still have to do some sort of marketing/seo work to get the initial visits to your site to find people to link back to you in the first place.

      There are tens of thousands of great sites out there full of quality content that get no visitation because they don't show up in the serps.

    If you are unsure where to spend it then maybe you should invest it in educational products. Like an SEO course or even better, a consultation with an SEO expert. This will save you a ton of time and money.

      As an SEO consultant, I agree with BaloneyTony!

      Without being too spammy, I'm developing an SEO course for business owners which is available now.

      It is a 6 week SEO course which covers the basics of on-page SEO, article marketing and working with Wordpress.

      having said that, there are numerous free and fee-based courses online, so do a search on 'seo coach" - you might see me near the top...

      If you invest in content, then make sure it is customized and unique!

      Nice problem to have...lol

      thanx for the advice guys, i just wanna say that my site is a information type site in the medical field, primary income will be made from adsense, cost per click is above 10.00 and search volume is more than 15,000 for the main keyword and each additional keyword gets more than 2,000 searches a month. Currently i am slowly climbing the serps but i just feel the need to have more backlinks quicker.

      so far this is what i have for seo


      micro niche finder/keyword research

      article marketing robot/article backlinks

      autobacklink bomb/profile backlinks

      autoblog commenter/ blog comments

      i haven't done any social book marking yet, guess i been to lazy. i also need to make some web 2.0 properties.

      this site should def make at least a 100 a day from adsense i just need the backlinks to get to the top spot.

      also article marketing robot does what it says as well as auto backlink bomb but my problem is getting those backlinks indexed to that i can get credit for them.


      i split my site up into 4 easy keywords and 4 med competition keywords, right now the 4 easy ones are doing great like i said there climbing the serps at a good rate but the med ones are not even in the top 100 yet, but the site is brand new so its not that i'm trying to rush things, its just my process of getting backlinks has slow down drastically and i can't figure out why.

        I try and stay away from the words 'auto', 'bomb' and 'robot' in any of the types of SEO efforts on personal sites. Sounds like a recipe for temporary rankings and permanent disappointment.

        You could get a lot of content produced for a fraction of that money. Out source some linkbuilding from Fiverr so you have a steady flow of links over time, whether it be links to site or content. Any promotion site is free, so no money required to invest there, invest some of that money into your site, maybe hire a copywriter, and get an adwords campaign to confirm your theory on your keyowrds of choice. But that is just my opinion.

      i would love to but i don't want to waste money in the process, last time i outsource backlinks i paid 47.00 for 300 profile backlinks and only 2 showed up in yahoo site explorer. if i could find one good service i would stick to them like glue, its one thing to pay for 500 backlinks but it another thing to have them indexed.

      well i'm only working on one site its only 2 weeks old, my main competition has about 5,000 links and his site is only 6 months old and after checking out his backlinks i can see that he has bought most of his links, this also puts to rest that myth of building links to fast.

      i think i will try senuke, do you have any tips on how to get the most out of this software.

        The quality of the backlinks is important to, but if your competitors only spent their time on less weight links such as profil, blog links and other loose stuff, than you can outrank them with ease.

        Depending on your competition, you´ll need to create a plan, I´d say for at least 4 weeks and pump out QUALITY links on a daily basis, this is the only guarantee to get noticed by "Sir Google".

        You can use profile, blog and other less powerful backlink strategies, later on.

        SeNuke supports:
        1) Social networking sites
        2) Article Directories
        3) Social Book marking sites
        4) RSS
        5) Video sharing sites
        6) Pingler

        I´ve tried other stuff before, but SeNuke was the best software for creating HIGH VALUED backlinks from high authority sites.

        I can help you out with SeNuke, show you how to use it if you want to rank on the top of the search engines. By automating this whole process, even if you´re just building backlinks for 1 site, will save you docents of hours per week, and you can get done 10 times as much.

        Send me an e-mail if you want more information on SeNuke and are ready to get started!

        Best Regards,

        Gerald

    With $2k for SEO?

    I'd buy 200 articles by decent writers, after testing a few first. $4 can get a pretty decent article, so that's $800, though you should be able to get a decent discount if you're ordering large quantities from a few people. I wouldn't recommend getting all these written by the same person, as writing 200 articles you content will start to suck after a while.

    So then I'd submit each of those to ezine articles, either myself or pay someone $10 to do it from odesk.

    Then I'd take those exact same articles and submit them with Article Marketing Robot(it looks like you already bought it) WITHOUT spinning the article! No need to waste the time, just submit. Submit each with a REALLY low submission rate so that it takes a long ass time to get them all out there so you build yourself a really long term backlink solution. Or you could just submit 4-5 per month at the monthly rate(you'd get about 500-600 articles every month), and have enough articles to last you....3 years.

    Then I'd order up a few different services to provide some different link structures...a few xrumer blasts(profile links) find a few people to make a few videos and them submit them to a bunch of video websites, and... idk maybe pay for a few high PR(your link on the main domain, footer or sidebar) links from here in the warrior reciprical link section.

    Then I'd take that other $1k or so you have left over and either outsource someone to build me an entire digital product(costs about a grand everything included) or buy several smaller affiliate sites with all of the keyword research, and content included.

    If three years of backlink content is too much, you could always pick up a few other premade websites first, and then spend your money across 3-4 websites and still have enough content to get them all ranked.

    That's what I'd do anyway.

    I would have to disagree, to the top comment and say software is the way, but we are all different. In terms of which one to choose, I would say senuke, seolinkvine or magic submitter, I am also looking for seo software, it is hard stuff to find.

    Seems like a lot of the above comments about not buying SEO software simply contradict the actualy results that people have received while using them. I have heard this many times, that mass article submitters (than generate unique articles) will generate crappy backlinks, however people are ranking on the first page with them.

    Just recently a software came out called SE Sniper and as you can see in the WF, people are raving about it and are quickly climbing up ranks for keywords with ridculous competition.

    Another thing I notice in people using SEO software to boost their results is that they actually stay in the positions that they originally ranked for. I heard many "seo experts" saying that if you use software then Google will find out and penalize your rankings, however many people are staying at top positions with the use of software.

    Learning SEO and applying strategies taught in SEO Moz for ex, are long drawn out process that are incredibly time consuming, but have their place for long term results.

    The fact is, that I have seen people go from 0 to ranking highly on the first page of Google within 2 weeks, for med-high competition keywords, using software.

    So I beg to differ with the people in this tread that say don't buy software, it will get you cheap backlinks that never get indexed and are a waist of your time.

    Take this for example. I know this kid (I've actually talked to him) that lives in the Philapines, he is about 16 years old now. About 3 years ago he started to use software and seo tools (yes the ones that gives you massive backlinks and such) and about 9-10 months later he was on the first page for the keyword "Make Money Online", and to this day he is still there. Yes at the end he ended up getting quality backlinks (from magazine and top seo sites) but, the initial boost to fame he got with software.

    Those are just my 2 cents.

      . No one would say that you can't rank using crappy backlinks and yes SEO moz last year had a piece on that. You indeed can rank. what you are missing is that for the OP's $2,000 he can blow a number of your crappy backlinks rankings off the top spot with some bought links with real PR.

      A bought PR4 link is going to give you more oomph than hundreds of profile backlinks. theres is nothing long and drawn out about getting high PR backlinks if you have $2,000 to drop on it. There is absolutely ZERO reason to drop $2,000 on software. Thats not a rant against software

      I use and Like magic submitter (one of the few that you can use without doing blasts and actually submit to any site whatever you want.) but sorry once you use about three or so of automated software you are flushing cash down the drain.

      So I would say for me that would be scrapebox, market Samurai and Magic submitter. Maybe best spinner but beyond that or some combination that looks like that tell me what else would you NEED?

      People just go crazy with the idea that a tool can make them rank. No tool on the market can MAKE you rank. it all comes down to on page SEO and backlinks.

        I would say it's best to build both. Sure, build your 2000 profile backlinks, which will work as a nice foundation for your backlink building, but build those high pr backlinks. Even if you're only blog commenting on high PR pages and not renting links.

    If you are lazy and don't want to do the work of setting up accounts, spinning and submitting, etc, then do not buy software (too many people buy a good piece of software and never use it). Out source someone to get you backlinks and post unique content.
    On the other hand, you can make that money go a lot farther if you are not lazy. Buy software like magic submitter (which I love) or seonuke or EVOII. Then buy 100 articles, by spinning them you should get a couple thousand unique articles, blog posts, PR's etc.this should boost you pretty good in the serps then you still have the software to use on other sites.

    textlinks.com is having a Mega Link Promotion. For $1500 this would be killing it if you got half as many links. Its like 20,500 links. I've also used forum link building in the past on some specials but am not sure how effective that was. It seems like no matter who you use, no matter how many links you start with, some of them start to fall off right away, even so called permanent ones.

    and links are really valued based on the PR of the TLD AND the PR of the page where the actual link appears. Most splash pages have higher PR's than internal pages.

    Links are definitely money well spent if you can get permanent links on high Google PR pages.

I wouldn't recommend getting all these written by the same person, as writing 200 articles you content will start to suck after a while.

      So then I'd submit each of those to ezine articles, either myself or pay someone $10 to do it from odesk.

      Then I'd take those exact same articles and submit them with Article Marketing Robot(it looks like you already bought it) WITHOUT spinning the article! No need to waste the time, just submit. Submit each with a REALLY low submission rate so that it takes a long ass time to get them all out there so you build yourself a really long term backlink solution. Or you could just submit 4-5 per month at the monthly rate(you'd get about 500-600 articles every month), and have enough articles to last you....3 years.

      Then I'd order up a few different services to provide some different link structures...a few xrumer blasts(profile links) find a few people to make a few videos and them submit them to a bunch of video websites, and... idk maybe pay for a few high PR(your link on the main domain, footer or sidebar) links from here in the warrior reciprical link section.

      Then I'd take that other $1k or so you have left over and either outsource someone to build me an entire digital product(costs about a grand everything included) or buy several smaller affiliate sites with all of the keyword research, and content included.

      If three years of backlink content is too much, you could always pick up a few other premade websites first, and then spend your money across 3-4 websites and still have enough content to get them all ranked.

      That's what I'd do anyway.
      wow thats funny because i had the exact same idea, i use this site called the content authority and they not only write good articles for cheap but they also summit them to the top article directories for a small fee.

      i happen to agree with both of you i feel like i could get guaranteed links by using the method above but i think by using software in addition to that i could get plenty more links

      Just recently a software came out called SE Sniper and as you can see in the WF, people are raving about it and are quickly climbing up ranks for keywords with ridculous competition.

      Another thing I notice in people using SEO software to boost their results is that they actually stay in the positions that they originally ranked for. I heard many "seo experts" saying that if you use software then Google will find out and penalize your rankings, however many people are staying at top positions with the use of software.

      Learning SEO and applying strategies taught in SEO Moz for ex, are long drawn out process that are incredibly time consuming, but have their place for long term results.

      The fact is, that I have seen people go from 0 to ranking highly on the first page of Google within 2 weeks, for med-high competition keywords, using software.

      So I beg to differ with the people in this tread that say don't buy software, it will get you cheap backlinks that never get indexed and are a waist of your time.

      Take this for example. I know this kid (I've actually talked to him) that lives in the Philapines, he is about 16 years old now. About 3 years ago he started to use software and seo tools (yes the ones that gives you massive backlinks and such) and about 9-10 months later he was on the first page for the keyword "Make Money Online", and to this day he is still there. Yes at the end he ended up getting quality backlinks (from magazine and top seo sites) but, the initial boost to fame he got with software.

      Those are just my 2 cents.
      software always works

    With 2,000? I'd only take about $500, save the rest.

    There is no reason to spend $2,000 on outsourcing or backlinks. I'd invest some money into some tools such as Market Samurai, Scrapebox(iffy) & SEO Link Robot. Personally, I haven't been using Scrapebox often, but I know it has potential.

    I might even start up some new websites.

    Personally if I had that much to invest i would look for a trainer/consultant to help me out and I would probably learn how to do the whole adwords thing then, but thats why you need the trainer so you don't screw it up and loose your shirt.

    If you already have sites and what not and are looking for some great backlinks to help increase your serp rankings then check out my sig. I use this in addition to other backlinking strategies like article marketing and it works wonders for me. Plus this tool is all autopilot so I just set and forget and focus on my other backlinking efforts and let this thing work its magic

    Well, there are some characteristics of seo companies

    1. they charge you thousands of dollars for the job

    2. they use software to do all the tasks and claim they did them manually

    3. they promise to take your sites to the top page of Google but that is not always achieved

    The best thing is to buy software to do the work yourself. With good software you can do all the work the seo companies will do for thousands of dollars

    For article submission, use article demon

    For Blog commenting, use crapebox

    For web 2.0 sites, use bookmarking demon

    For high profile links creation, use sick submitter, etc.

    For interlinking of the sites, use seo link robot

    With all these you will spend below 500 dollars and you will continue o use the tools forever, apart from sick submitter that charges monthly fee

    Do not listen to those who say software is bad.

    Software is really good if used properly and if you are serious you should invest in good programs for:

    - keyword research (market samurai)
    - backlinks analyses.
    - article submission. (article marketing robot)

    I would also spend in good SEO/IM courses (backlinks hydra, affiloblueprint, etc) and memberships in portals like UAW and marketing software (sick marketing).
