My Link Club is not recommended at this time, due to too many of the links being deleted, and/or never indexed, close to 60% of the links disappeared during initial tests. Starting a new test on 12/27/2010, stay tuned! Thanks, Dan.
UPDATE: Decided to reveal some other stuff we’re doing to test My Link Club out, despite not liking how they do things.
(This could be one of the best bargains on the internet for hands-free link building if they perform well)
I wrote a review on My Link Club that discussed some of the inner workings and background information, but here’s the “Cliff Notes” version of what it does and how it works.
You order a package like their 3k links for $65.00, (get 404-ed when you) return to merchant, set up a campaign, then wait a few days for campaign to be accepted and to be notified that it’s getting worked on. Then, as more links get propagated throughout the network, you’ll get emails saying your reports’ been updated, and sure enough you’ll see the number has changed.
So, does it work? Judge for yourself
URL1- Was ranking #5 on my Google US search, moved up to #4 with 144 links, but not sure how much of these will stick and when all these links will actually apply towards getting to #2 spot (#1 spot is for the company name)
After about 99 links went from #5 to #4 but links are still coming in and I got about 144 or so right now towards that 1 single url, so it should move up to #2 without much further “ado”.
Skewed testing:
URL2- Got a site that got slapped recently for whatever reason slowly rebounding in the SERPs via Link Aloha and Linx Boss and will use MLC to get things going faster
Just started it, will update soon
Testing is skewed because other linking services are also having an effect here
Pure testing:
URL3- Pure test here 
URL is for a site (not mine) still in good standing with the search engines, but page 7 for its main keyword. We’re using MLC ( My Link Club) to send 3k links to the home page over course of 30 days.
Semi-final Update: A LOT of th elinks we’re getting from My Link Club are from non-indexed domains and URLS, so in order to not totally waste our money here ($400.00) we’ve gona ahead and ran our indexing service on these urls to get things indexed.
My Link Club is not a good value for the money by itself, but if they did some simple things to ensure everything on their network gets publish, AND..if they didn’t dump our links on non-indexed WPMUs type of sites, AND…if they didn’t dump links on the exact same sites right away, then yes, it could be useful (if you had a system for getting thousands of urls indexed quickly like we do)
My Link Club is not recommended at this time, due to too many of the links being deleted, and/or never indexed, close to 60% of the links disappeared during initial tests. Starting a new test on 12/27/2010, stay tuned! Thanks, Dan.

Hello Daniel, sustainable links from truly relevant sources can only be found through manual work. You can use tools like Linknami.com to make the work a bit easier.
Andreas, you keep trying to get a comment approved on this site so I will let this one through.
What you wrote above is SO NOT true it angers me that you’d try to come here and push this nonsense on to others.
I therefore will not review Linknami nor recommend others try it either since you or your minions are leaving blog comments with incorrect seo statements in them, there’s already way too much incorrect information about SEO out there without you adding to it.
There’s isn’t an “only way” to do anything in seo, you should know that
Yeah, I think we need this plastered in massive banner ad across every IM site in existence. That statement comes up all the time along with “the only way to get a lasting ranking is to write quality content and let other people link to it naturally, if you build any links yourself you’ll get banned from teh googlez machine”
I’m so glad I had the sense to ignore that tripe when I was starting out, otherwise I’d still be sitting around wondering why my sites aren’t magically climbing the SERPs. Preach it brother.
Hey Chris, good to see you here, right on!
Daniel – I bought a simple test with mylinkclub and they have started rolling out some of the links.
Have you gone through and examined the links in their reports? What are your opinions?
Hey Chris, some of the links are from same domains and even exact same sites. One CSV file I looked at had 4 or 5 links from a brand new site that still had the Hello World post on it, kind of a joke if you ask me. I am testing 4 or 5 campaigns now, but from what I see they’re not doing a great job of getting things indexed, and it’s pretty laughable that they’d think it’s “powerful SEO” to get links form the same sites, new sites, non-indexed etc….
But this is a patient person’s game SEO, so we’ll see. If I have to backlinks to those urls I will… to get SOME value from this
Hi Daniel,
Long time reader first time poster…Anyway After seeing your review i decided to give it a try and I think getting links indexed as you right mentioned is the biggest problem. Might I suggest using SCRAPE BOX (found at blackhat world) If you just plaster the links on there, it will check which ones are indexed for example and ping the hell out of them to get them indexed (if you so wished)
Though to be honest these days I am using quiet a few services together. I am subscribed to Linx Boss,LINKVANA, UAW and now MLC. My monthly bill is enormous.., I am not really convinced about LinxBoss yet, as i ma not seeing huge results…one omain has only got 20 links from Lixboss (and its been like that for last 23 days)
All the best
Hey Moon, thanks for chiming in here…
I have Link Farm Evolution, ScrapeBox, Bookmarking Demon, AutoPligg 5, SEO Link Pro, Backlink Indexer Express, etc, etc…
I feel that a service should run as advertised, and to do a pure test I leave things along for a while, meaning that I try to see how a service works all by itself.
And speaking of services, there’s one coming out soon that will get your backlinks indexed for you, just submit a csv file and some anchor text, and you’re all set.
In the meantime I’ll let MLC run as it is for now to see how it does by itself. It’d be pretty simple for them to get all urls indexed by doing some autosyndication, like Twitter Link wheels and such, so I just don’t see how they could offer a service that doesn’t get its links indexed.
When time is right, I will probably get all of these MLC links indexed
Just found your blog and love it! My question was that you mentioned that you used Link Aloha in helping a punished domain. What are your thoughts on Link Aloha compared to other services? I just started and am only somewhat impressed. They claim they do not want adult sites included etc (just an FYI – I do not run or promote any adult websites), but when I look at the forums I am getting back links from some of them are VERY ADULT oriented like – SIZE MATTERS….:-)
Just was curious as to your thoughts or feedback on the service.
Link Aloha is expensive, and Koen’s a good guy we chat once in a while on Skype.
2 things that could accomplish what Aloha does
1- Buy Sick Profile Maker and a few links packets and generate your own links
2- Do same thing with Automated Backlinks Monthly
I use services because they try harder, tools get buggy and require manual labor and I prefer to let the service do what it claims to on its own rather than go back to doing manual labor to make their service effective.
About the whole sites quality/content thing, no idea, Aloha’s not picky about the inbound links, not sure why they won’t link to adult sites, unless for simple reason that a much higher percentage of these links, if noticed and followed by human eyes, would get deleted at a much higher rate than normal xrumer links
Daniel,
This service sound fantastic… right now I have bee using an elaborate autoblog with snippets to get them crawled and hence indexed method…Way too time consuming setting it all up but I do achieve near 90% indexing with it.
So far form the services I have noticed are the following:-
1) UAW– was great now am seeing diminishing results on a daily basis. I never did see hundreds of backlinks, but now i ma lucky to see 20-30, irrespective for the category that I selected. I do get the old ping back from something i submitted 6 months ago, but these are few and far between (i have not tried seolinkvine, nor will ?I after personal dealings with brad and his company)
2) BLS–The new 3.0 system looks promising but thier blog number is a significant worry. I dont hit the same url more then 400 time in this system. ther wise blogs are repeating themselves.
3)Linkvana– Having found a way to automate it, it works like a charm especially for internal pages, and link wheels/web2.0 properties, I find that linkvana blogs usually ahve a bit more umpph to them as well. Perhaps that is my perception as i ma paying that much extra for it!
4) Linxboss– I wnat to belive in ths so much so that i have the extr a5 url package, so far i am not seeing much results.. but its been just over 3 weeks i will renew this mint but not the next,,,
5) MyLinkCLub–Just started it, have no expectations. If this works great i will use one domain per month and will be happy for 3000 links..(more so if you recommend an indexing service…)
Over all considering i spend a lot of money on these services i am hoping i get something better in return.. you thoughts will be most welcomed

With UAW you will get hundreds of links, no matter what the niche, if you follow the info in this post on how to get more backlinks from article marketing
2) BLS–The new 3.0 system looks promising but thier blog number is a significant worry. I dont hit the same url more then 400 time in this system. ther wise blogs are repeating themselves.
Yes, BLS only has 411 blogs at the moment, but it works great at linking to inner pages, hubs and lenses which is the route you should take with it. The # of blogs in the system worried me, too but I tested it and it works fine for what I just described, medium comp term, inner urls, hubs, lenses that are kw matched.
3)Linkvana– Having found a way to automate it, it works like a charm especially for internal pages, and link wheels/web2.0 properties, I find that linkvana blogs usually ahve a bit more umpph to them as well. Perhaps that is my perception as i ma paying that much extra for it!
I have a way you can get LV for free, Skype ID aikidoroll
4) Linxboss– I wnat to belive in ths so much so that i have the extr a5 url package, so far i am not seeing much results.. but its been just over 3 weeks i will renew this mint but not the next,,,
LinxBoss is a “luxury service” much like Aloha, it takes time to work, but it DOES work, and is hands-free. Are there better ways to get 200 or 1000 links a month? Probably, but not in a totally hands-free way. Give LB at LEAST 1 month to see some sort of results, to gain some traction and momentum for your destination urls.
Again, it’s a luxury service for people who don’t want to do any work, and ut does take some time ot see results with it, and doesn’t work super awesome for every single site I own, works better for some than others, but works for all of them to varying degrees.
5) MyLinkCLub–Just started it, have no expectations. If this works great i will use one domain per month and will be happy for 3000 links..(more so if you recommend an indexing service…)
MLC yea it’s new to me an unproven, and cheap, it’s just that getting links form same exact sites and domains and subdomains doesn’t seem to be really good way to SEO things, but maybe getting just one package at 65 dollars will help easily generate some backlinks that you can get indexed with Scrapebox, BMD LFE Etc….
Hey Daniel,
Thank you for your info here. May I ask, you mentioned something coming out soon that will get your links indexed. Could you let us know what that product might be?
Thank you Very much,
Eric
Could be in a couple of weeks, to set up the membership script and stuff like that. If you want in before that come see me on Skype, it’s 97/month to get 1,500 links/month indexed, you provide the URLs in csv or text format and we do the rest
Hi Daniel,
Thank you for testing out our service. Like you, we are also building a better indexing system that will service our network and scale while it grows. Your blog post about the twitter wheel got some really creative juices flowing over here.
I noticed your URL #3 is ranked on page 3 now for the target keyword. Overall it looks like some good results in these campaigns just from a couple of weeks.
Thank you again for your candidness, and as always, if you have questions, or need anything just give me a call or shoot me an email.
Thanks!
Hi Ryan, thanks for stopping by again, I did call twice btw. Also had to do some work on my end of things to get my MLC urls indexed, my guy was pretty PO-ed that he was indexing someone else’s blogs. But if you can do more to get us links from indexed (WPMU) blogs, at the very least, that’d be great. To get a good portion of them indexed on their own would be a plus, too.
For the term you mentioned I was ranked #3 or 4 before MLC anyways, so when those urls get indexed it should help quite a bit.
Thanks,
Dan
Thanks,
Dan
Dan It seems that Linkvana read your blog and comments often. I just got banned from them lol
M
U serious!?
yes I have the e-mail to prove it lol… Obviously did not mention you or this site.. but yeah banned non the less…
Now looking for a method that gives me decent high pr links and is NOT LixBoss and BLS… lol. I juts might buy Xrummer and spam the living daylights out of everyone if i don’t get a solution lol
OK, try Build My Rank or Authority Link Network then. If/when you get Xrumer, I’d like 100k links please
I want to comment on my link club.I even tipped the guy Ryan and was getting ready to throw major bucks(away).I got maybe twenty links ,not 3000.Whats up is everybody just lieing about services?No real backlink deals ?Ryan Seabolt never even called back ,the sign of a real con.Run for office,but get out of business.
Check this out http://linkvanareviews.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/my-link-club-150×150.jpg
Don’t think they’re gonna be able to fill my order either, but they DID deliver
@Brian:
Wow! I’ve had maybe 10 conversations with you about optimizing your site… for $65.95 you got a LOT more than 3,000 backlinks (you got those too btw).
I’m actually going to call you after I get done leaving this comment, and I’ll bet you don’t act anything like this on the phone (nobody ever does).
Here’s the deal: we’re not perfect. However, we’re not dropping out of the game. So, even if we get a bunch of crappy reviews, that’s good! It helps us get better!
One thing you can count on though: great service from a team who will work to get you ranked. If the cookie-cutter link package won’t work… then we’ll get it right, because we know how.
Now, a bit of good news: we’re almost done testing a new tool we’ve been building that will get these blog posts indexed faster, making these links that we sell for $.02 each really soar.
Daniel, once again, thanks for the honesty. We’re out here every day working to make sure people aren’t blowing their SEO dollars.

No problemo Ryan. You DO answer your phone and we have spoken several times, in case anyone’s wondering what the reality is.
I woudl like to respond to Ryan,
Few things I paid 60 something dollars and only got 1000 links soo far, and its coming time to renew and I probably wont be doing it here is why…
To date I asked you system to plugin all backlinks to one site.. TO DATE NOT ONE of the 1080 links is indexed. I checked it with Scrapebox, and am now running a pinger on SENUKE… NOT ONE RYAN… that has to be bad…
When e-mailed you about it your replied:-
I just ran a test on your reports, using site:URL and there are quite a bit of pages that have been indexed already. Also, it looks like we’re over 700 links to you so far.
simply not true… Please don’t think I am attacking you publicly, but here is the deal. I REALLY would love your service to work, i fear its turning out to be like Traffic Bug, a year or so ago. Links simply are not indexing and in my case have received 1/3 of what i was suppose to get…
Sorry…
I think they need to stop taking orders, then scale back the number of links generated, then focus on getting stuff indexed, then start taking orders again.
Ryan’s getting me real close to my quota BTW, which is one side of the coin, with the other being, let’s get our stuff indexed…
Moon, check out http://dripfeedblasts.com I am testing it out with 2 campaigns now, too early for any expected results though, just an FYI, something to watch out for
Hmm, It does seem to take forever to link manually and build solely through links. It seems like you need a good combo to get initially found and then blow up with good content alone. Anyone have a great site for simply learning how to get started? We created a sitemap and have started linking but I need to know more about SEO, thanks!
SEO and ranking and link building are all simple.
Gets lots of do follow anchor text links to properly optimized pages, and you will rank for your terms
Daniel you have a link you want me to sign up from?
Ah no I don’t and I’ve only been testing them for a few days now, so no results nor impact yet, even after getting 6k profiles links in 3 days.
Maybe I shouldn’t have even said anything, because I really don’t want people joining something merely because I mentioned it. Case in point: My Link Club… people are joining there after hearing about it here on this blog and coming back to voice their displeasure, so I don’t really want to contribute like that any more, sorry I mentioned it.
Link Aloha DID provide some results for me but was too expensive
I spoke with drip feed blast, and looks like all they gaurantee is that the will place links, but not if they will get indexed. Though service you mentioned for getting links indexed is good but i don’t think for 60K links!!
With any Xrummer blast it all depends on where the links is left forum profile or comments, if its the latter then i don’t think there is any point in this service. I also believe getting these links indexed will be very tricky…But as always i am willing to try new things…
Yes DFB isn’t one of those high PR only services, more like a “get as many as you can” type of service. I did a quick check and some profiles urls aren’t accessible via normal web searching, therefore they will never get spidered, indexed, etc… and some profiles are naked links while others are anchor text-ed. Then again, I didn’t go through the entire 6k list form past 3 days, nor am I about to,
I went through some My Link club urls, too and noticed a few urls marked as spam which tells me these aren’t WPMUS they own and control but perhaps running an LFE type of service, unless of course they’re marking their own blogs as spam urls and putting captchas up on my link urls ??
BTW, it appears like I will be getting my quota filled by MLC for my first campaign, 2500 plus urls links in 28 days
cancelled MLC they delivered 1080 links after almost 4 weeks. 2000 short of what i paid… what a waste…
Just to quickly clarify: even if you cancel your subscription, we complete your order. Nobody’s going to get less links than paid for. If you cancel, we simply won’t start any new campaigns or send reports on replacement links.
While this post has gotten pretty negative in the comments, and has turned more into a customer service thread, I’d like to point out that the ultimate result is that rankings do go up for a majority of our clients.
If the complaints, issues, or even the scattered positive remarks about our service have risen any questions about how MyLinkClub might fit into your seo strategy, definitely feel free to contact us:
http://www.mylinkclub.com/contact.php
Ryan, give me a call tonight please
MLC being sold at flippa for 90K – good investment?

Not really, not unless you wanna buy a business that delivers close to zero value
Hey Dan,
Any update on the new test you were starting on MLC back in Dec? Was interested in this, but heard some good and bad things about it.
Hi Dan,
Was also interested in the new test
yes please update your test
