This is a follow up to the previous post on Popular link building services and how they could be better and here’s what we link building service users want:
Outsourcing features:
- Have in-house writers we can pay to write and submit articles to your network for us, or maybe even just spin some PLR and submit for us. Make this a premium member feature for X # of articles, rewrites/spins or charge on a per rewrite/spin basis
- Create separate logins (like My Article Network and EZArticleLink does) so if we have in-house writers we can give them access to our membership/your link building service they can do the work for us.
Get links to our links or tell us whose published our stuff!
NOT getting our syndicated articles indexed is a huge issue that needs to be addressed. Look, we went to the trouble of writing extra content and maybe even spinning it, but do you know how aggravating it is when we see that our stuff isn’t getting indexed? Crazy bad mojo there and usually the non-indexing is because the site sin the network are pumping out too many free articles
Suggestions:
1- Tell us what sites linked to us. If WE submit the content to YOUR INTERFACE, then you control the content basically and can probably ascertain (at the very least) which sites received the articles for review. I/we realize this is like giving your network away for some loser to try and get banned or something but there’s got to be some way to let us know which sites we can bookmark so we ensure that our published submissions are getting indexed by some extra effort on our part.
If you can’t do this, see next suggestion…
2- Help site owners get the articles they accepted on our behalf indexed, whether it be
- via Twitter link wheels,
- or suggesting they add their blog feeds to Feedburner and have FB post next feed urls to Twitter
- submit their sites to Blog Catalog
- etc…
3- You have our email addresses, so sent us an email whenever someone publishes one of our articles. The article publisher would have to accept this, knowing that the reason YOU are letitng others know when they publishe done of our article sis that we will probably send some links to our article son their sites to help ensure they get indexed.
4- Create an article directory that posts one version of every article published to network
5- Incorporate RSS technology that makes unique URLs of each article url and submits to rss directories
Spinning tools and technology
As mentioned in this post here, What do The Best Spinner, Link Dozer and EZArticleLink all have in common? community-based thesaurus is the new wave of spinning technology these days and it’d be simpler to click a button or a phrase and add a variation of that phrase to make the spinning easier to do.
I am not a programmer but if I were, I’m sure this would be easy to implement and members would appreciate it.
My Article Network, Backlink Solutions, SEO Link Vine and various other services have easy to use spinning tools but no community-based thesaurus (preferable) but MAN and SEO LV in particular make it point-and-click-easy to spin content because they don’t “force” us to insert spintax variables like {} or [] etc… (a good thing)
The syndication process:
Drip-feed and scheduling - Need to be able to drip-feed our submissions and/or schedule them so we’re not doing burst linking when 1 article goes out to 200 sites within a week then no further link activity is noticed by the search engines.
Randomization position of anchor text - If we’re hyperlinking a certain keyword in our articles with certain anchor text, it’d be nice to randomize the position of the hyperlinks so the articles are less standardized (read: footipint-able)
Assured IP diversity- Also, if you have a feature where we can limit our submisisons to X # of sites, we absolutely need to know that we’re hitting new sites with our articles-for-backlinks to attain a desired IP diversity for our inbound link profiles.
Training-
How to use the service training - Every service on my recommended link building services page has training videos for their members and I consider this an absolute necessity for these types of services. I don’t care what the SEO-savvy people say, it’s still necessary to show your users how to use your service.
TLJ, MAN, SEO LV, Linkvana, and BLS get “due props” for providing good training material, with extra special credit to The Link Juicer for outlining the exact method by which you’ll see best results with their service.
SEO training - This, too is extra credit but not a necessity, yet appreciated by the newbies I am sure. I don’t consider this a necessary thing for services to provide but educating the consumer/link builder can only empower them to practice better SEO in order to see better results.
Tracking - if you’re providing training and your service is any good, and IF members are following your recommendations, then they should be seeing results.
Therefore, it’d be nice to show some proof that member’s efforts are paying off via tracking of certain keywords in the SERPs for Google, Yahoo, and Bing.
Other ideas:
Have a user request function for specific content like Content Kahuna does so article publishers can get the exact content they need (for free) and you, the site owners are assured of an accepted article by that site.
Group social bookmarking exchanges – self explanatory
Use of 3d party tools and services for even better results and more linking power
Not gonna give away these tips just yet since my service will focus more on these types of entities,but it just makes sense to ensure that members aren’t SO reliant upon a network, and quality and number of sites in that network for their’ rankings.
Final Note:
It’s nice for sales letters to state that your network is 5 million sites large (exaggeration here) but if they’re all Nofollow sites, like most blogs are for outbound links, then there’s more value in 50 DoFollow backlinks than there are in 500 Nofollow backlinks.
Therefore, there’s gotta be a way to ensure that syndicated content is getting put on sites whose outbound links are set with the DoFollow attributes so they provide more link juice if/when they get indexed.

Most frustrating part is: when we use more than 1-3 link building services such as BLS, LV, FTS, UAW etc. we don’t know which service has yielded which links. Which don’t allow me to differentiate their link power and effectiveness towards keyword ranking.
Secondly, i have done some testing from my side with BLS submissions and after 1 week i saw some yahoo siteexplorer links of BLS i saw 10 BLS links from which only 2 were indexed out 10 BLS links, i got shocked. Those posts were not got indexed. The post date was showing 20th April and today is 26th April. I don’t know what happening with them. I swapped from UAW to BLS so i can all indexed links for my site, but it was just nightmare
Hi Arshad, great points here.
#1- Most people are in same boat as you; they use a lot of services but have no real indicator which ones are proving to be effective. That’s why you need to use one service for one set o furls and another service for other urls. You also want to make sure that you’re not linking to similarly optimized on site articles from different services, because if you’re interlinking well, then Post B about ProductName 123 that links to, and is in close proximity to (is next or previous post in the same category,or just in same category) Post A (previous post) or Post C (next post) then there’s a “rising tide lifts all boats” type of SEO effect.
Post B that’s getting all those links is going to push some link juice towards linked-to posts from that Post/article/page so if you’re using difference services for links to the same site, make sure, at the very LEAST, that you’re using different anchor tet, and unrelated posts that aren’t in close proximity to each other.
#2 – About BLS, YahooSiteExplorer and indexed links…
30 days is way too soon to check backlink checkers to see if you got links credited, and even 60 days is too soon, because it takes a while for links to appear on their reporting end of things, and by the time they get credited there, some links will remian there forever, as links that stick and some links fall out of indexing no matter what you do.
I AM surprised though, that the links you got form BLS didn’t stick; you get anywhere from 22-44 backlinks per snippet generated with BL Swhich usually means 11-22 for your site each snippet generated. I’d ask them about it to see what they say.
Thanks,
Dan
Thanks for the reply, i get always wise reply
