    I joined Linkvana, which isnt cheap by any means, after reading reviews on here and other places.

    I wrote 3 blog posts, and uploaded them.
    24 hours later, they are still queued....


    I also could not get the 'Fetch Links' function to work, so I emailed their support.
    36 hours later, and no reply.

    What experiences have other people had?

    I cant say its filling me full of confidence.

    Now that is Odd :confused:

    I have been a member for 3 months now and have asked several support questions in that time and every one of them has been answered the same day,

    Perhaps you should try sending another one just in case your first one got lost

    Another thing is... make sure your question isn't already answered in their FAQ's

    Cheers,

    I have used their fetch links function a number of times, and it's always worked for me. Make sure that you include the http:// portion of the URL or it won't work.

    Hi Guys,

    I am strongly considering joining linking as I've read good things on here but wanted to ask a couple of questions,

    I've noticed a lot of people complaining they can't see where their posts(links) are being sent and have to just trust that linkvana is posting them, I'm a bit confused by this because surly the backlink would show in your Google webmaster tools?

    Secondly, the posts that you make need to be 100+ words long, are they just basically mini bloggs that you are writing, subject specific to your own site?

    regards

    Lapos

    Yes, eventually you can see them with the Google webmaster tools

    They are basically quality & relevant Blog comments

    In my case it has paid for itself 100X over :) because of the huge increase in sales that my websites have recieved due to being ranked on the first page of Google, Yahoo and MSN

    They will not give you a list of where you blog was posted, but after they inform you that it is live, I have found it to be true. Usually within a few hours or a few days, I copy a chunk of the post in google and it finds them. You can add a ton of sites. It is expensive unless you have 30 or more sites. I signed up, and I am adding some of my friends sites as well. I don't think it will help much with any tough keywords, but we will see. Seems like they get a bunch of dropped domains and toss up a blog. All the blogs kinda look the same and are boring. Should not take google to long to figure them out. Doing a test and will probably drop them unless the test works out well. It is very rare that a support question is not answered the same day.

    I've been using them for almost 3 months now and the results have been phenomenal to say the least

    I have managed to get 6 websites and 3 squidoo lenses to the first page of google for some very competitive niches.

    They are continuously adding to their Blog network to the tune of 50-100 blogs a month, so that their network stays fresh.

    Because the system is so scalable Google can never figure them out!

    Linkvana is totally worth the investment. I tested it for few weeks going easy with links, just to see what happens. And got on the first page of Google really fast. It paid off for the service in 1 day actually. So no regrets for joining their network at all.

    If people are worried about getting de indexed, than write the articles post them on hub pages, or squidoo, or ezine, link those articles and you will in return get the traffic and higher rankings.

    Good to hear about the success in using this system. Any tips on how to efficiently use it? Are you spinning the articles or post? How many links are you creating a month?

    And Netgal, are you sending all the links to your hubpages, squidoo lenses? I've been looking into Traffic Kahuna and LinkVana, but it seems that there is more reviews about LinkVana on this forum.

    Hi,

    I am actually sending links to my sites and articles at the same time. This way I rank high for all my targeted keyword terms.

    I looked at Traffic Kahuna and Linkvana... I don't know why, but I just liked the reviews of Linkvana a lot better and I took the plunge. I just needed backlinks and an easy system. Actually I am training someone to post links for me, so I don't have to do it :)

    You don't need too many links for this to work of course depending on the phrase. 7 is good number than add 1 link every two days or so.

    I try to rank for three keywords. So if it was for example Digital Point Forum | Digital Point Review | Digital Point Scam

    I would link each post individually. at least 3 links per each keyword.

    Writing 100 words posts is easy and those no body is going to read anyways :)

    Oh and if you want to try Linkvana before you purchase PM me, I might be able to help :)

    or you could build your own blog farm using the HUNDREDS of free wordpress hosts out there, and the cheap software. Cut out the middleman, in fact. And retain control over it all.

    You are right, but, this takes time and most people don't have the time. I have a hard time keeping up with my niche sites and I found the Linkvana to be a time saver.

    Linkvana rocks, but I wouldn't recommend putting all your eggs in one basket. It's getting a lot of coverage in the forums at the mo . . . It's a fair bet that Google will be checking them out very soon.

    I have been on linkvana about three months. As far as responses to emails I have sent three and gotten a response within 24 hours, very courteous. I was kinda worried about IF those posts would show up, but I have checked and they are there. The system is uber easy to use and when I get into a groove I can write fifty or sixty posts easy. I can't really say if LinkVana is working as I am using multiple methods of getting links.

    I've been a member since August and I think it's worth the cost if you have enough websites. I've had sites that I started from scratch that got good ranking with solely linkvana links...

    If anyone want to try it out feel free to contact me!

    linkvana will never get you ranked for the money keywords as the blogs aren't powerful enough to send out so many links. Say you have a PR1 blog with 234 inbound links (which the majority are) and they have 600+ pages with 10 links out each, they have a link deficit of around 5770 (234 IBL compared to 6000 OBL)

    If you think surrounding text relevance is more important than linkpower, go for linkvana. This service would be killer if they got some decent blogs but they don't.

    Its also very hard to get a good opinion on it because they have a sensational affiliate payoff.

    If I was google, and some link exchange came to my attention, I'd pass it down to the xet, and let them deal with it. Which would involve joining up, submitting lots of 'special' content, and then spotting where it popped up. So enabling me to find all the blogs the link exchange relies on. Then... oh, I dunno. I probably wouldn't reward them for what I regarded as 'cheating'... I 'd probably... er... ban their ass
