I just got an email about Linkumate, saying how it’s the pro-Bing, anti-Google hands-free ranking tool/service system, so I thought I’d update y’all on how it’s gone for me with a few sites since the last review on Linkumate
A year ago, I got a yearly subscription to this service and since I started the first/last review, not much has changed.
I still don’t see the value in it, results-wise
The sites tested still haven’t moved.
Here’s the info from the last review, copied over to this Linkumate UPDATE, I guess we’d call it
URL1 - LCD (LCD refers to my way to track the domain name and keyword, means nothing to you though)
1. Before #19, 21
2. After 2 months – Page 4
3.After 1 YEAR, Page 4
URL2- DIFI (DIFI refers to my way to track the domain name and keyword, means nothing to you though)
1. Before 19
2. After 2 months – Page 4
3.After 1 YEAR, Page 2. I took some content OFF this site and removed ads, only change done to it
URL3- DIFS (DIFS refers to my way to track the domain name and keyword, means nothing to you though)
1. Before 22, 29
2. After 2 months – Page 4
3.After 1 YEAR, Page 2. I took some content OFF this site and removed ads, only change done to it
URL4- FCDI (FCDI refers to my way to track the domain name and keyword, means nothing to you though)
1. Before 39
2. After 2 months – Page 4
3.After 1 YEAR, Page 2. I took some content OFF this site and removed ads, only change done to it
URL5- The “placebo site”: >>> I left one Google-slapped site built the exact same way OUT of the Linkumate network, did nothing with it for longest time, and it’s rankings weren’t affected.

Hey Dan,
Do you still recommend Backlink Banzai?
Also, I’m a member of Marketers Relief, is there a way to contact you through that site or should I just come here if I have a question (that may not deal with anything specific from Marketers relief).
Hi Will/William/Bill?
If you leave a comment on MR I will get it, same as when comments left on here send me email notifications.
Banzai and Wiki Whirlwinds are good for what they do, it’s safe and works well if you follow their guidelines which are click-button easy to do insofar as diversifying anchors is concerned. It works best when people TRULY follow the guidelines such as building and promoting other tiers in addition to promotion of main sites only. That’s generally solid SEO advice, and it’s no different with Wikis, Banzai, social articles, blog networks etc…
Hey Dan,
You can call me Will
Never heard of Wiki Whirlwinds. Have to give it a shot.
Do you recommend that we ONLY point Banzai and Wiki Whirlwinds to tiered properties and NOT main money sites?
Also, looking forward to some more great stuff on MR!
Will
Good to know. I was considering this strongly and after seeing your lackluster results, I won’t be buying it. Thanks for that.
Hey Dan.
This is spot on with what I have heard with LinkUmate. Not worth the time at all, but that was only with a few months… this is a full year. That is the final nail in that coffin!

Marketers Relief member here. Just wanting to know when the next update is going to be. Been about a month with no updates or new juicy strategies…. waiting eagerly for something new!
I don’t know what you guys are talking about because my Bing site has picked up traffic by over 100% since I joined Linkumate LESS than a month ago. I have over 1 BILLION competitors, by the way.
Thanks for the feedback Kelvin. Dave’s blog states that it takes a month or two to see rankings results with Linkumate, which is the automated linking part of the overall ranking loophole thing. So generally speaking you haven’t been using the service long enough to see results.
I’m curious as to how you got results in less than a month and I saw no results after 1 year, and no negative results are subscription ended when the year was up…
It’s automated and fool proof Linkumate is… so is it all 4 of my sites, or something else that might be affecting my results?
I really don’t know how/why my site climbed so fast in Bing. I currently fluctuate between positions 3-5.
Does your site follow the template he says we should use; 250-400 words, links to your own domain using the target keyword at least three times, privacy statement with keyword pointing to homepage….?
Hi Kelvin, sorry for late reply, yes I followed that except for privacy statement linking back to HP using anchor link
