I contacted them and they will NOT remove your links
even if you stop after a few months.

They only way they kill your links is if you refund (which is fair).

I think I'll be going for it...

This is from Dave Kelly and he asked me to help beta test it.

First about Dave...Back before AdSense, SearchFeed was about the best for getting paid for clicks.

SearchFeed has a two-tier affiliate program and I had hundreds of sub affiliates from those that joined under me. In the SearchFeed admin, you can see the earnings of those "below" you and get paid a small percentage of their clicks.

Dave Kelly was far and away my number one sub affiliate. There were people that make serious money, but Dave was far ahead of the pack.

And Dave does it all through SEO. Plus, his thoughts on SEO are very close to my own and we tend to agree with each other a lot more than with most other SEO "experts".

Linkvana.com is Dave's own blog network. It's very "mature" and has some older resources. It's basically a blog comment service, but instead of having to find blogs yourself, then check the PR and if thye use nofollow or not, you can make a post on one of Dave's blogs.

Each post has to be unique and needs to contain a single link to a high quality site of your's. Dave said you can link to Squidoo lenses and Hubpages if the content is good and original.

This is a good mix with your own network, as Dave's service is to post a single time on an established blog, which is in contrast to your own network. This is what you want, a good mixture.

I plan on using the service to get some links to Squidoo lenses/Hubpages, then point these to my gold...Plus point to my gold directly.

I am very interested in Dave's service more because I know FIRST HAND of his success, than the service itself. Again, I saw what SearchFeed reported and this is a rare instance when I don't have to take anyone else's word...The bottom line is, Dave makes a lot of money from SEO.

Note: I'm not breaking Dave's privacy...He said I could talk about his SearchFeed earnings.

I'll post back about it soon,

Honestly I'm impressed on all levels.

First of all, it's SUPER easy to use...
Points for user-friendliness.

Second, I LOVE the outsourcing feature.
2$ per post? That's a solid deal.

I have a team of people that does
several things for me (including SEO),
however I highly doubt my team could
create more than 10 post per hour
after being trained and I pay them
more than $20 per hour (except
the Indians which are ($8), but
they aren't good writers.

We'll see how it goes...

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.

1. You can make 250 posts a month. Any unused quota rolls over to the next month.
2. You need to add one of your blogs to the network. When someone makes a post, it's automatically distributed throughout the network.
3. Each post must be 250 words.
4. You can post that same blog post to as many blogs as you want within your limit.
5. You can put up to 3 links in each post.
6. There's a spin function, so you spin links, etc.
7. No PageRank or age req't for blogs in the system. However, blogs banned by Google cannot be added to network.

Good to see you again, been a while.

They can't be spun and need to be totally original and 100-200 words each. You get one keyword phrase per post.

maybe you can help me out here kurt,
the minimum wordcount at linkvana is 100? Can I use any amount between 100 and 200?

best regards
Karsten

Hi Karsten,

I', pretty sure that's correct, that you can use anywhere from 100 up 200 words per post, and any number in between, with one link per post.

Kurt and the bombs changed my life from 65 hours a week in the car biz to when I want to from home. (Which ironically, is 65 hours a week )

I looked at linksvana and dismissed it as hype. I have link sources coming out of my ying yang (understand, I no longer SEO my own stuff anymore, I run a SEO company and my 'secret sauce' is the link mix)

But, when Kurt says "It's a good mix" what he means is...It's part of a GOOD mix!

About Kurt's strategies: I hired a web dev and I heard him bitching about my random approach, ie. sites built with wordpress, html sites, crazy interlinking, use of rss, etc.

Then I showed him my clients rankings.

Then I explained Kurt's methodology to have 'all of the bases covered'.

It was a short conversation once the stats came out.

Thanks, Kurt.

Hi Steve...

Good to hear from you.

You've reminded me that I need to make a post going back to the roots of what Bombing is really all about.

Hope you "tenured" bombers stop by more often.

Here's my affiliate link, if anyone's interested. I rarely post affiliate links in here, but Linkvana has been around long enough and I know Dave Kelly well enough that I'll put my name on it...

You know the deal...You don't pay any more either way, but I appreciate joining through my affilate link.
