SEO LinkVine Review – Brad Callens Link Vine Review
Article syndication services like Unique Article Wizard and AM Automation need to be a part of any serious internet marketer arsenal of tools. These services work perfectly with article spinners like Magic Article Rewriter and are proven to automatically build backlinks to your sites. Recently, there has been a lot of talk and speculation about a new article syndication service called SEOLinkVine and because it has been developed by Brad Callen a well known personallity in the internet marketing arena, my interest has been growing increasingly.
At first glance, SEOLinkVine looks and operates a lot like AMAutomation or My Article Network. Like AMAutomation, SEOLinkVine provides two different functions. If you have a blog that needs unique content, then you can add your site to the SEOLinkVine network and receive free content that has been submitted by other SEOLinkVine members. Since this content is “spun”, the articles that get posted to your site will be relatively unique.
The second function of SEOLinkVine is on the article submission side. Here you can submit your spun articles (using Magic Article Rewriter of course) and have them distributed across SEOLinkVine’s network of blogs. You are allowed to add up to 3 links per article which makes it a powerful method of obtaining relevant, keyword targeted backlinks, from a variety of different sites.
Where SEOLinkVine differs from the other article submission services is that it will actually allow you to track your results from using it. With other services, you just submit your articles and hope for the best. The SEOLinkVine site includes a dashboard where you can track the stats of your articles and see how your rankings have improved. What’s interesting is that SEOLinkVine keeps track of the keywords and urls that you have specified in the anchor text of the links in your articles, and it shows you where that url ranks for that keyword in the big 3 search engines, the number of links, and PR of the site. To pull this data, SEOLinkVine requires you to download a separate SEOLinkVine Ranker plugin that you run on your own computer. Once you’ve collected enough data, you will be able to see graphs that track your keyword positions and number of links gained over time.
SEOLinkVine Results
Updated June 15th, 2010
It’s been almost 2 months since my initial SEOLinkVine review, and I wanted to share my results so far from using the service. There were some initial growing pains during the first few weeks that SEOLinkVine was opened and the service had to be closed to new members temporarily. However, I’m happy to report SEOLinkVine is up and running again and Brad and his team have done a great job in resolving the outstanding issues.
Here’s a look at my SEOLinkVine stats dashboard.
I have now published 75 articles to my SEOLinkVine account which is about one article per day. These 75 articles have been published to 1045 different sites. I try include the maximum 3 links per article so that is over 3000 targeted links pointing back to my sites from different blogs on the net. Plus I still have a bunch of articles approved and in the queue to be published so I’m consistently adding new links every day. Try building that many links yourself by hand!
I’ve been using SEOLinkVine exclusively to rank for several keywords and I’ve been really happy with some of the results I’m getting.
Now that I’ve been using SEOLinkVine for awhile, here are the things I like about it the most.
- Ability to track article distribution stats on the dashboard
- Create separate accounts for your outsource workers
- Ability to select multiple categories to submit too. AMA/MAN only allow one category at a time.
- Organize your articles into projects. Very handy once you have a lot of articles in the system.
- Works seamlessly with Magic Article Rewriter.
Overall, I would definitely rank SEOLinkVine ahead of AM Automation/My Article Network as my article distribution service of choice. It’s also very competitive with Unique Article Wizard and I like it more in a lot of ways. If you are looking for a fast and easy way to build lots of backlinks to your site, make sure to give SEOLinkVine a look. The results speak for themselves and I highly recommend it.
