Your experience with Link Machine

I am interested in anyone's experience, good or bad, with the Link Machine linking software. Thanks, in advance

 

I sent you a PM with the website I used. I personally don't think it's amazing or that great and if you want to buy it, just buy the basic package.

Reciprocal linking has stopped for Google I believe, so three-way link exchanges is what the new generation is doing

I personally don't think it was that great because it only gave me a PR3

 

Do you know any cheap/freeware three-way link exchange softwares ?

 

I have blogged about LinkMachine - http://www.fatinfo.com/blog/2006/automatic-link-exchange/

It really depends on what your needs are. They also have a 10 day trial, see how you like it. Hope the blog helps in answering some questions you may have.

 

The problem (at least for me) with most of link exchange scripts is the php scripting. For my site I am planning to create static html pages for the link pages, as i don't know php scripting that well. I have written perl cgi scripts to accepts link details which goes to flat file (database ?) and a cron job will create static html files every night. I have written perl cgi admin screens with most of the features available in free version of the link directory scripts.

Now how can i implement three way linking.. can some body share some info on this.

 

I think you should never use Link Machine .
One of my sites was banned by google because of Link Machine.

 

One of my sites are banned also, I don't know why, but I remember that I tried Link Machine for a short period of time. It was stupid if that was due to LinkMachine.

IMHO, LinkMachine is crap.

 

I wouldn't say LinkMachine is total crap, but I don't like script-based tools too -- mainly because they can be found and recognized easily... For example, all users of LinksManager are stored in one file that can be accessed by any person... LinkMachine is much the same -- any person (including Google) can find that info and know that you're using link exchange script

So I prefer using desktop tools that allow you to create fully customizable purely HTML directory with no evidence that you're using any software. At the same time, some of these tools are even (much) more powerful than scripts like LinkMachine or LinksManager

 

You can also find free programs that will give you that popularity without spending the money, please do try http://outranker.com, I'm pretty sure you'll like it!

 

For all those people who are using Link Machines AUTOMATED program, I noticed a ton of websites which have been removed from the Google SERP's and no PR given...obviously linkmachine.php isn't that hard a page for Google to find...
