UPDATE: THIS LINK BUILDING SERVICE NOT RECOMMENDED
Now that I’ve got about 12 sites in Traffic Bug, that’s given me some time to focus on the Link Juicer Review and Case Study.
What is The Link Juicer?
- Link Juicer is a high-powered social bookmarking service because the accounts bookmarking your sites are aged a bit (except for your new one of course).
- The Link Juicer has the ability to take some content you create and place it on some blog platforms for backlinks.
- The cool feature that makes me really like The Link Juicer so far is it’s ability to take your provided content and turn it into an ebook for submittal to ebook sites like scribd.
One thing people don’t realize when they use link wheels and services like Traffic Bug and Angela’s list of high PR sites is:
- Most high PR sites that allow profiles to get ranked will end up being 100% NoFollow soon
- Getting links from a high profile site doesn’t mean jack squat, especially since the site’s most likely NoFollow for outgoing links and the profile page you set up has a PageRank of ZERO and probably will for a long time.
- Social site profiles that don’t get much activity are almost worthless link generators
But with The Link Juicer you’re getting links from some robust profiles and social site accounts with age and multi-faceted content. These accounts linking to you are generic accounts with a healthy mix of content topics so they’re social bookmarking other people’s sites, and content, not just yours.
The reason this is important is:
- Social site profiles that don’t get much activity are almost worthless link generators
Inside The Link Juicer:
- Pretty intuitive set up and navigation.
- Can set your # of links a day generated to be anywhere between 3 and 7 links a day
STEP 1- Set up your Web 2.0/social site Profiles/Accounts
Link Juicer Add New Web 20 Accounts
Step 2 -Enter The New Campaign Area
The Link Juicer Campaign Area
Step 3 – Add New Campaign
The Link Juicer Add New Campaign
STEP 3 is where you want to take your time filling things out and doing a lot of spinning, so the autopilot link building is as effective as possible
Sites Tested:
Site 1 is slowly climbing up Page 3 for its targeted term, probably would have done better had I noticed that I’d set a cap on # of links a day to just 3

I’d like to note, that I have seen significantly improved rankings commenting on “no-follow” blogs. Which leads me to believe, no-follow links are stilled used somewhat in calculating rank. I would disagreee that they don’t do anything for rank.
Thanks Anon, but Dofollow lends more weight plain and simple.
Just a note for anyone reading this..as Anon stated and proved to himself, NoFollow doesn’t mean those types of backlinks are totally worthless, they’re just credited with less weight somehow( I don’t claim to know the exact formula for weight attribution/disribution)
Ive tried Link juicer (actually I’ve tried most of the services on your blogs) and it’s okay for sites that are in a very uncompetitive niche I guess. It took me a long time to setup – signing up accounts and submitting spin ready content. After that it is hands free so that’s a plus. However, I just don’t believe these links will give enough juice to help a site much. Also, the cost is high for what it does.
TLJ is adding a lot of extras to their system that’ll make it a lot more powerful, and there are some things that are not obvious about using this system that makes it seem like you’re getting less links that you could be getting, will explain this in a future post.
Hey Daniel, just want to ask you a quick question about TLJ, how many links do you put in the long text area? Do you target more than one page/one keyword within a campaign?
Thanks.
Hi James, I put one URL in long text/blog text area, and I rotate it. So every time I spin some text that’s already in the long text area, I also change the URL it’s pointing to. What’s really cool about TLJ is that constant re-spinning doesn’t take too long to do and each re-spin makes things even more unique.
I’ll be adding TLJ to the Recommended” List soon, with my usual suggestions for who needs this and who would benefit from it the most (people with low budget and less than 10 sites). It will replace My Article Network on my Recommended List.
Oh, and yes I target groupings of keywords per campaign and I name my campaigns something that easily identifies what KWs are being “worked on” with that campaign. Sometimes I target websites though, since TLJ would help me rank well for some terms and URLs, it’d be time to switch to new terms and URLS so naming campaign after one of your websites is another way to go, too.
Thanks for the answer Daniel, I gonna set them up like you do.
Hi Daniel, do you promote the links you get from linkjuicer? I’ve been using linkjuicer a few days, not sure if I need to do the extra push, though I saw some links are not indexed and I intended to ping and rss them.
Thanks.
James, I get so many links from TLJ that I really don’t have time to figure out what they are or whethe ror not they’re getting indexed.
A simple way to do things is to see which of these links generate a trackback or pingback to your sites then bookmark those urls, and/or Tag them in Delicious, which turns that URL into its own RSS feed url which can then be sent to an auto-blog which will post a link back to that url.
Read the post on Delicious Links again and you’ll see how setting that up will act as a more efficient index driver than just pinging those urls.
Daniel,
I’ve read all your reviews on link building services, but I still can’t decide what to get. I’m relatively new to internet marketing I have 6 small sites up and running. I plan on making a lot more in the future. Unique Article Wizard seems like a good option as well as The Link Juicer and NeuroLinker. What service do you recommend for someone like myself who is not making a ton of money, but would also like to expand in the future?
I also noticed your #1 suggestion Backlink Soloutions have their doors closed.
Hi Robert, this blog is scattered with affiliate links for BLS that can get you in, despite their “doors being closed”.
Are you clicking on those links, or maybe you don’t see them?
Whatever service you need really depends on what other kinds of website development you’re doing (link wheels, web 2.0 sites, standard article marketing?).
The Link Juicer is pretty powerful stuff but it is slow and steady and will work on just the medium difficulty to less difficult to easy keywords, niches and terms.
I’d go with that one if you only have 6 sites now. I obviously still recommend BLS and the best service to get but The Link Juicer is half of what TLJ costs, so that might be a better fit for you.
Please reply back and let me know why so many people are telling me that BLS is closed when my aff link sends them to a back door entry?
Might be poor marketing on my part, or just that people are doing Googling BLS then seeing its closed to public.
Thanks,
Dan
Thanks for your quick response. Actually I think I did follow one of your links, but didn’t know it was a special “back door” that you can get into Backlink Solutions. I guess I’ve gone to their site and seen it was closed and just assumed it was.
My strategy has been to target small niche keywords with searches from 2000-6000 exact searches. So far I have 6 sites, that are on page 1 to 10 and making a little money. My goal is to be able to create lots of similar sized sights, but I would like to bring my ranking to the 1st page and hopefully #1.
Normally I do directory submissions, onlywire social bookmarking, RSS Bot Submission, EzineArticles and Go Article Writing, and Press releases. But it’s not always enough to move to page 1. So I need a backlinking program that can increase my ranking and make enough money to make up for the service.
With this in mind, what linking service or article syndication program should I get? Thanks!
OK,
Directory submissions are next to worthless in my opinion unless they’re permanent and put in targeted categories on directories whose categries are getting its listings crawled an dindexed.
If you can submit to a sub-directory with less PageRank and less listings than a larger main, generic directory, go ahead and do that.
There’s more link juice to be obtained from sub directories than main directories, but I digress.
Social bookmarking’s value is to get stuff indexed, and that’s pretty much it.
Social bookmarking’s OTHER value is to sometimes, hopefully cause someone who wouldn’t have normally seen your site, see it and visit it or more importantly to you, link to it.
RSS Bot is good but you still have to manually create your RSS feeds that aren’t main site feeds.
All those article directories are good, too, remember that the links in resource box are DoFollow, not the article body links.
Sounds to me like you’re doing a lot. You need LinkVana or Backlink Solutions to bolster things some more.
Thanks,
Dan
Thanks for the great info. I hear you on the directories, I only submit to the high PR directories to up my page ranking and I don’t expect any traffic from them.
I noticed in other comments you mentioned Backlink Solutions has an upgraded member ship. Is the $97/month version available through your backdoor the lower or upper version? Do they have a rufund policy?
I noticed in your first post about Backlink Solutions that you said it was difficult to use, did this change?
Also how do I get a hold of the Backlink Solutions video that you made?
Hi again Robert, you’re welcome!
The link I have for BLS is for their upgraded membership.
The video I made which is sort of a bonus will help you get sorted out quickly with using BLS and to avoid the confusion that I experienced with them at first.
If you get it email me and I’ll send you the video and some tips/best practices for using.
Thanks,
Dan
Thanks Dan for the review. I like the link Juicer concept of lots of different people’s account’s being used to bookmark or post content, as opposed to one person with lots of fake accounts. It is something I have thought about before without the techknowhow to do anything about, other than posting on a forum “Digg this Please!!”
sounds a bit more co-operative. Will test and see if it helps my sites.

Hey Martin, thanks for stopping by…
The Link Juicer is slow and steady and works. SEO requires patience so if you can accept the fact that results will take a little time to be seen(many people want immediate rankings!) then it’s a good fit for you . It’s effectiveness is all dependent on the keywords, keyphrases, and niche of course.
Thanks,
Dan
Hey Dan,
Thanks for the help with BLS. I’m using it like a pro now.
I also jumped on board with TLJ and wanted to know if you use the strategy Peter recommends for setting up 11 campaigns with 5 directly promoting different pages on your target website and 6 for articles that point to your main website.
It sounds like a smart strategy and I’m even thinking of adding your HubPages strategy along with a few web 2.0 sites in place of some of the article directories Peter suggests. I’m thinking this will help me add more link juice to a larger variety of pages (other than article directories) pointing to my main website(s).
I am curious to know how you’re using TLJ, though – without revealing your niches, of course.
If you’ve already laid out your strategy in a blog post or comment, just point me to it and I’ll get crackin’.
Thanks,
Paul
Hey Paul, I must confess that I never saw the TLJ strategy by Peter and I think I’d get better results with it if I did. I will try doing that and let you know how it works. As it is right now I only have one campaign I am watching closely and I’m doing direct linking with it and getting tons of backlinks but not getting BLS type results with them.
If the TLJ method works then it could be a cheaper alternative to UAW. Peter’s method is similar to what I espouse others to do, in this post I wrote on using Unique Article Wizard
Hey Paul,
A smart strategy means you knowing what needs to get put on what BEFORE you do it and why. Look, link source diversity, IP diversity, unique content while maintaining velocity in a random linking pattern. That’s really all there is to this.
No, do not point The Link Juicer at articles. These services are expensive and have limited slots. Point these at your money pages and sub pages. Put your spam links towards the articles.
Hi David,
Thanks for the input. Do you mind expounding a bit on why you advise against pointing TLJ at articles? I’ve not been using it long. So, maybe you’ve discovered something about TLJ that I have yet to see.
Right now, I’m actually using TLJ in conjunction with a few other services which is why I am implementing a different strategy with it.
I do have campaigns running in TLJ pointing directly to my money pages and sub pages. But I’m also pointing links towards articles as well to help increase the amount of link juice that’s passing from them to the same money sites and sub pages.
The strategy I’m implementing for TLJ is actually pretty close to Dan’s UAW strategy. However, I am implementing different strategies for the other services I use, most of which are directly building links to my older money sites and sub pages that need a push in the SERPs along with a few pages on web 2.0 sites than need the same.
I’m not a big fan of SPAM links. I’ve seen lot’s of them disappear over time and even cause my sites to be sandboxed for months. So, I’d rather use something like TLJ for increasing the amount of link juice that’s passing from my articles to my money sites.
I’ve got hundreds of websites and enough room in my budget to handle multiple link building services. So, I’m not really concerned about them being too expensive. After spending nearly $800/month on outsourcing my link building, services like TLJ, BLS, UAW and others are actually quite a bargain for me. Plus, I’m able to get enough unique content from my writers for cheap to keep my campaigns alive with unique content. This way my links aren’t coming from what appears be duplicate content.
Paul, I know where Dave is coming from here, he’s being budget-conscious for you witohut realizing that you’ve got quite the budget here.
But here’s the other reason: the less quality urls get lesser quality backlinks and TLJ backlinks are better than social bookmarking and/or LFE WPMU style backlinks so he’s stressing that its best to use TLJ for money pages to get best value ou tof your membership fees.
However there’s absolutely no harm to using TLC quality links, which are almost 100% dofollow if not 100%… to promote other web properties, so what Peter recommends is good, and solid SEO and there’s no need to change that unless you were more budget-conscious
Oh, okay I see, Dan.
You and Dave’s point about using lesser quality backlinks for lower quality URLs makes perfect sense to me. I can definitely see it’s usefulness for tighter budgets. But, like you said, Peter’s strategy is solid SEO.
Dave, thanks for being budget conscious on my behalf. Anybody who looks out for my wallet is a friend my book.
Paul try this and see how this works for you.

Hey DavidN,
I just wanted to pop in and say thanks. After spending about 6 weeks tinkering with my BLS, TLJ, UAW combo, I see why you recommended the strategy above. Since I was new to each of these services at the time, I couldn’t completely see the wisdom in your suggestion.
Since then, as I’ve gotten my feet wet with these services, I’ve had a few “aha!” moments only to realize that they all agreed with your recommendation. All of my epiphanies brought me right back to what you suggested in the beginning. As a matter of fact, I’m using almost that exact same strategy now. It’s definitely a much more efficient and economical way to make the most of these potent services.
Thanks Again,
PaulF
Hey Dan,
If I subscribe to the Link Juicer, should I build links directly to my money page or should I build links to the web 2.0 properties and article directories that are pointing to the money page?
If I build links to the web 2.0 properties and article directories, do I have to write different pieces of spun content for each campaign or can I reuse the spun content from one campaign for my other campaigns?
Jason, you should adhere to TLJ’s recommended guidelines for link building campaigns, which is to link to web 2.0 properties mainly. I haven’t had much success with linking directly to money pages, but then again…consider the name of the service the link Juicer…adding link juice to link wheel spokes basically.
If you get it use it according to Peter’s best practices
If I build links to the web 2.0 properties and article directories, do I have to write different pieces of spun content for each campaign or can I reuse the spun content from one campaign for my other campaigns?
Can I spin the target url that is bookmarked and that is posted on the blogs?
What I recommended doing is writing well-spun content and change the links up every few days, then rewrite the article some more and repeat until you get desired effects.
Peter has a video on this method I believe.
Thanks,
Dan
