Hi I know that getting backlinks manually is the best option but i would like to know do the link building tools work at all? I am about to start using them since they're more cheaper but i don't want to spoil my website ranking. so please share your ideas on how effective are backlink tools and suggest the best ones available. Thanks
I would vote for Manual submission. I use automation in finding backlinks. I dont use automation in creating links. I think most of the SEO will agree with me here.
I usually use auto automation for creation links, but now i prefer using manual submission for add backlink .
Manual submission is the best way for submitting your directory or article in comparison of any software.
Hi mate, Getting back links manually is really good with respect to google. Getting back links using software's is not good for seo and not good for google rankings.
Tools are quick but you need to have proper knowledge of the tool. Tools can do the same manual work quicker.
A lot of people are going to disagree with me on this but backlinks are overrated. I did an experiment with fresh domains, separate IPs for the domains and paid for backlink submission service on one domain. I posted one original article every week or so on both sites - the site without the paid backlinks did better in SEO and Alexa. I have a local news website that I'm trying to compete with a guy who pays for backlinks. My Alexa rating is better than his and he has more daily content than me but his website is more like a link farm / keyword stuffing website. I get press releases from the local government, businesses and the police while he copies / spins content from regional news websites that do stories on our small town, Folks who say backlinks are great unfortunately are thinking 3 years ago. Google is cracking down on the abuse of backlinks. If you want to be #1 on SEO: There are no "do it fast" services that last in the long run Original content Relevant links and relevant content! I made a post about Justin Bieber on one of my sites that is just me goofing off with my opinions on celebrities. I got 1500 hits last month to the Justin Bieber post.
My vote would go for manual submission as you then have total control,albeit it its a boring job but it has to be done and will be much better for your site/blog in the long run.
