1WayLinks Review

THE REVIEWERS OPINION ON THIS SERVICE HAS CHANGED PLEASE READ THE UPDATED 1WayLinks Review here

The 1WayLinks program uses WordPress blogs. This is a review of Jonathan Leger’s 1WayLinks automated backlinking service. Members can post up to 750 backlinks per month. It is affordable. The questions remain: Is it powerful? Is it useful?

Designed by Jonathan Leger, 1waylinks is a relatively new program on the scene of automated backlinking services. By applying the technology of WordPress blogs members can use up to 750 one-way backlinks to their sites each month. There are more than 1000 blogs in this well monitored network.

The way it works is really quite simple, a lot of people wish they had thought of it too. As a member, you write an article with up to 3 of your chosen links and keywords and submit it to the program. Your article is posted then on the blogs of other members. The links are active and, of course, point back to your chosen site – backlinks. You decide how many articles you will write each month and can spread them throughout the month or write them all at once. It does not make much sense to write only one article when you can avoid duplicate content by writing more than one.

There are some limitations. It only works with WordPress blogs which you host and set up to meet the system requirements. As one person said, ‘you must host to post’. However, there is no requirement for which hosting company you choose.

I made my choice as a Beta tester to set up a separate blog that I only use for this purpose. I was concerned about potentially irrelevant material on my main blog. As it happens, the content is widely varied but carefully monitored to prevent spam, or offensive material of any kind. Lively discussions in the forum have clarified what constitutes potentially offensive material among the members.

This domain that you purchased just for this donor blog could be considered a drawback to 1WayLinks. Not because you spent the small amount of money for the domain that you don’t really “need”, but because you know the other members will also be using these donor or surplus content blogs, the perceived value of the blogs could be diminished.

• Who is going to read this material?
• How will it get indexed?
• And who will care?
• How can it help you?
• Will the links ever get counted?
• Why write “junk” content that no one will see?

Those were some of my concerns. However, the fact is that with a good ping list you can get your WordPress site indexed quite easily and your links will be counted. Using donor blogs with low page ranks might still be a drawback to the long range effectiveness of 1Waylinks.net. Having more incoming than outgoing links is not rated highly by most search engines. These blogs are specifically designed to have a lot of incoming links.

What is remarkable is the articles. For people who are writing specifically to get links to an unknown audience, expecting no one to even find the blog or read the article, these blogs have had a wide variety of interesting, though sometimes unusual content. Apparently these bloggers do not like to write junk links. I have actually had people compliment me on the diversity of content on my blog! In addition, more than 10% of these unknown readers have made the blog a favorite of theirs. My donor blog has hundreds of visitors each month and I have done nothing to promote it.

What is more important, the sites I am promoting in my articles are indeed moving up in their search engine rankings. That is enough for me to say 1WayLinks is a program with more merit than it might seem to have at first glance. It is useful and affordable though there are other backlink services with more powerful links. If your goal is lots of links rather than specific high ranking links then the services available from the program at 1Waylinks.net may be just what you need for your business.
