    Hi everyone,

    I've just become a proud member of LinkVana, and it's doing wonders for my business.

    For those who haven't heard of it yet - LinkVana is a brand new one-way linking system which allows you to submit posts to a huge network of blogs.

    The amount of post submission is all controlled and the quality of the blogs is outstanding (PR2-5), which makes all the links you acquire look natural AND of the highest quality possible.

    I've written a review on the service at this Squidoo Lens. I've included as much information as I possibly can about it and have included several exclusive pictures too.

    If you're interested, please pay my LinkVana review a visit and sign the Guestbook :)

    Hope it gives you some inspiration!

    That price is uber steep. How's about a free trial?

    I don't think they have a free trial. If you think the price is too high then I don't think you would benefit from the program.

    It's intended for those who spend a lot on link building in time or money. If you can't see the benefits of it for the price it asks, then it's simply not for you :)

    lol - Just for the record I didn't want to offend anyone by saying that it's probably not for you if you don't spend the money or whatever.

    Everyone does things in their own way and I can't change that, I just want to give you another path to take if you so wish to take it. I used to be "cheap" and not spend so much, but now I realise that in business - you need "cash flow". The flow part means money is flowing out into investments which will help the business run and grow.

    I've never bought an ebook but I have become a member of this AND 3waylinks.net :)

    So they give you access to lots of blogs and you get to spam the shit out of them for 150 bucks a month? How does that work out for the blog owners?

    Okay let me get it straight for everyone -

    This IS a glorified blog network which has some super high quality blogs in that are all topical and relevant.

    However (and this is what sold it for me), the service is totally and completely "bullet proof" as far as "spamming" is concerned. All the blogs are owned by the owner of Linkvana, David Kelly and the network is completely monitored by his team of staff.

    Because of this, and his quest for ultimate quality, he has created the system so that you can't send ANY junk to the blogs. He does this by not only "auditing" every single site that you submit into the service for quality (unique content, relevance, etc) but he also has people checking every single post that you make to the blogs.

    This means that all the crap is cut right of the equation because the system has been designed around quality. The culmination of which is that you can't even post as many posts as you want to at once.

    If you go and blow a whole $20 on the likes of this service to get your site posted out to 400 blogs which are all full of crap and probably banned by Google, you get 400 or so "instant" backlinks. The truth is, and I learned this the hard way is that those backlinks are near worthless AND they appear in an instant. This means that the likes of Google are going to see them and almost certainly place your site in the dreaded sandbox.

    It's "natural" linkbuilding that makes the LinkVana service so powerful. It only allows you to post to 4-6 blogs per day for each of your sites. This means you can write 50 posts on day one (I wrote 10 yesterday) and have them "queued". In the queue, they all get reviewed by staff AND only 4-6 are posted each day, automatically.

    I can agree to a certain extent that the price may be a little steep. However, if you think of economies of scale and you've got a steady flow of projects passing through the service - it could be worth its weight in Gold. It's all about saving time, cutting costs and maximising profit. It's for the newbie Internet Marketer who started out last week, nor is it for the expert who has two GIANT sites. It's just a GREAT tool for saving on link expenses, time and freelancers.

    I have written the Squdioo Lens as an honest and truthful review of the service and I do make money from anyone who purchases through my link on there.
    But guess what? You've GOT to be a member to be able to recommend it. I'm not talking out my ass when I say it's brought tons of value to my business ALREADY (and I've only been a member for a week).

    There's only 300 spaces and I was member #189. This means that of the time of writing there were only 111 places left. Now, I have actually had someone purchase through my link which means at MOST there are 110 places left now.

    If you even think you *might* be interested in this service, I recommend you sign up ASAP. You can canel at any time so even if you "try" it for a month, it could bring mega value to your biz.

    Hope this cleared anything up :)

    I was member 188, (you commented on my blog) and I'm wondering if everyone is still happy?

    I haven't been impressed with the quality of links. I WANT to be, but I'm not yet, to be honest. I'm giving it a full 6 months to prove itself, and testing on lots of domains, but I'm still a little skeptical from what I've seen so far.

    Are you actually seeing many links show up in your Google backlinks from inside Webmaster tools? How about Yahoo? Have you seen decent blogs with any older pages?

    The price is pretty steep. I would rather post comments on dofollow blogs to get a related and quality one way links for free.

    I've seen a good 10 of the blogs that the links are coming up on. 50% I would say have "fake" PR with no backlinks but I don't see any sign of them being on expired domains.

    Saying that, Google's just had babies with one of my newest sites that I've been pushing with this. It's listed for a whole bunch of long-tail and mid-tail key terms which would normally take me a couple of months. These are key terms for stuff like "Product Name Review" and the like.

    My ranks are growing each day for that site.

    I don't really mind about the PR of the links because if I was doing this on blogs myself, it would take me *more* time to get a bunch of PR0 links. What's more - the owner Dave has contacted me with several posts that I did about duplicate content which means that he does have a moderation system.

    I might email him about the PR issue. I'm a paying customer so need answers

    I just posted on your guestbook correcting an error you made. (Your claim that people in the network couldn't figure out which blogs their posts went on makes no sense. Nor did you probably mean it, given your posts right above in this thread.)

    I didn't realize the post would go into moderation.

    I have a few questions.

    1. Are these blog posts permanent?
    I mean, what happens if you pay for 1 month's membership, get a couple of hundred blog postings, then cancel your membership. Will they remove all those blog posts because you've cancelled your membership ?

    2. Are you limited to one link per blog posting (in the demo video, we only see 1 link per post) ?

    3. Are the blog posts limited to the English language ? (I can understand if they don't have the writers capable of speaking diff languages, but if you supply the content (in whatever language), would they accept it ?

    3a. Assuming they don't accept non-English posts, would they allow an English post which included a couple of non-English words or phrases (lets assume you could write an article whiich used a couple of foreign words but which still made sense) ?

    I'd appreciate some feedback from current users. 150 bucks is a lot to shell out, so I need to see some value.

    In response to your answers, here's what I understand:

    1. All the posts are permenant. If you joined to just to get some exposure than I am aware that even if you cancel your membership, the system still posts your posts onto the system.

    2. Yes only 1 link per post is allowed. This is to make sure that the highest quality is maintained in the network

    3. I'm sure they would accept different languages. You're paying $150 a month for it, so it should be your choice as to what language you want to post in.

    Does that mean that they will take one post at a time per site and post it to 4-6 blogs per day until it finishes then move on to the next post , rinse and repeat?

    Or

    Does it mean that each post is posted to 4-6 blogs per day simultaneously?

    I have other pages besides the homepage that I want to get links to. Does this mean that I will have to wait until the other posts in my queue are finished before they start posting to my backpages?

    Yes you can post links to other pages of your site beside your homepage.

    All you need to do is write a bunch of posts, each with a single link to your site inside. For this example, let's say you write 10 posts one day.

    After writing those 10 posts, all you need to do is sit back and relax because the system will post out 4-6 of those posts on different blogs each day. It does this by posting one post at a time.

    Hope this helps?

    Thanks for all the info popedope. There are two or three other programs I will probably test soon, and I've added this one to the list as well. :)

    Thanks for the compliment.

    The system is definitely worth testing out. It might seem costly at first, but once you start seeing some killer rankings - you will soon see how worthy it is to ANY campaign.

    Have to say I'm disappointed so far. None of the posts which I've outsourced have been done yet (it's been a week already). Only post published was one that I wrote myself, and they got the link wrong :-(

    It's early days but I suspect they don't have enough writers, so this is a service best suited for people who can write their own posts.

    I'll keep an eye on this and see if it improves.

    How many posts did you put through to their writers?

    If you send a large project then it takes longer because they write all the posts and then pass them back instead of passing them back as and when.
