IMO, it's best used as a companion linking strategy, meaning if you only use Linvana, you'll probably be disappointed...However, I believe it's very powerful if mixed with other linking strategies, in that it gets your links into the "blogosphere".

It is expensive, however I think that helps it be effective, as not everybody will use it.

Dave is real strict on the posts he'll accept. They can't be spun and need to be totally original and 100-200 words each. You get one keyword phrase per post.

Again, being strict on the posts accepted is a plus, IMO, as it ensures the qquality of the network.

To be honest, you can get similar links by using other resources, but Linkvana makes it fast and easy and is more of a "convenience" than a necessity. If you can afford (and prefer time to money) and actually use it, it should have a good ROI.
