Linkumate review and results

7/6/20111 is when the test and review of the Linkumate service and methodology behind it started.

Bing and Yahoo rankings are the focus here, because it’s admittedly something that works better, or only…with Bing and now Yahoo.  I decided to review Linkumate to see if there is, indeed, an automated way to get rank on these search engines, to round out how we rank highly on just Google.

The concept behind Linkumate:

Yahoo/Bing historically have been good at recognizing new links to a site and accrediting those sites with backlinks received, but they don’t necessarily do a good job updating the current live, active hyperlinks.

So the idea here is to add new links to a site in a seemingly random manner (from other sites or your own sites) in order to game Bing…and make them think your site is getting a lot of new link love (but without them knowing these are temporary links)

Before Linkumate, there was The Ultimate Search Engine Loophole; a script that worked like this if used properly.

* You install a script on one site or several sites you own
* Enter in your urls list (other domains)
* The script takes the urls of your sites and places them temporarily in the footer link of each site, one url at a time
* Each time the front page of a site is loaded, viewed, the footer link, an outbound link pointing to one of your other sites…is dsiplayed.

Understanding this conceptually:

1. You have 20 sites in the widgets niche, sites 1-20
2. Sites 1-20 get entered into a urls list somewhere in script
3. Go to site 1, footer links displays link to site 2
4. Load that page again, and the link and anchor text changes to site 3, site 4, and so on, with each page refresh.

Again, the idea here is that NEW links are being seen by MSN/Bing/Yahoo and that’s the loophole.

So what does Linkumate do?

Well, from what I gathered from the sales letter, you don’t have to get 20 of your other sites set up to work this script for new, random, rotating anchor text footer links because Linkumate is a network that has hundreds of sites that could all be working this loophole via the script.

So with Linkumate, instead of having just your own sites doing this kind of rotation, you’re tied into a much greater potential for new backlinks to present to MSN BING YAHOO for accreditation and what-not.  You could have just one site, and still be getting tons of temporary, random, rotating footer backlinks form other sites in the Linkumate network.

It’s a great idea if it worked…

Testing out Linkumate…  Linkumate Review and Results

4 Google panda-slapped domains, all EMDS, mini-sites with 3 PR2s and one Pr 1

NOTE: Why bother trying to revive Google-slapped domains though?  Isn’t that going to affect the test?

It’s usually harder to revive slapped sites than it is to build new ones, but the sites were GOOGLE slapped not Bing-slapped, therefore these sites should have responded favorably.

 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

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

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

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

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.

The Linkumate-affected sites went down in rankings, the unaffected by Linkumate site remained in its Page 2 spot in Bing.

More information about Linkumate and this Linkumate review…

In the FAQs or blog comments, I saw that it takes 60 days or so for effects to be seen using this method and network, and that time period has elapsed, so it should be doing something positive by now.

I’ll leave this automation running for another 2 months to see if it just takes even more patience and time for this to work well.

If it doesn’t work at all by the end of 4 months, I will try it out out non-slapped-by-any-search-engines sites, and use better quality EMDs, ones with .com not the .biz, .us, .org, .net ones used in this site.  I got a yearly membership to this service so we will know for sure at some point, definitely, whether this is just more seo hocus-pocus stuff, or a legit method for ranking your sites in Bing.

I would think that  Bing would be getting more serious about the quality of their results by now, and that this kind of Bing “gaming” won’t last for long, but I remain open-minded, sort of…
