Trackback Spider Review & TS vs. UAW

in Link Building Services

Trackback Spider is an automated software solution for getting backlinks via trackbacks.

The cost is $77.00/month…

It’s hands-off backlinks generation that can save you a whole lot of time because it generates trackbacks based on a mixed-set of keywords for a specific url you want links back to.  Mixing up your anchor text is always a good idea since it will appear more natural.

But Trackback Spider also generates these trackbacks in such a way that the links are steady, consistent but scheduled so you don’t get too many links at once, which is also recommended.

But how does Trackback Spider compare when put up against a service like Unique Article Wizard which can also generate trackbacks, linkbacks etc.. on a scheduled, time-released basis?

Let’s see:

For an extra 10-20 dollars a month you can have Trackback Spider generating backlinks for you automatically, hands-free.

Since it saves you so much time, it’s well worth the extra monthly fees if the links obtained are as numerous and valuable as links generated from Unique Article wizard article submissions.

That’s the big caveat here, if the link numbers and quality are the same, then it’s an absolute no-brainer to go with Trackback spider instead.

With Trackback Spider you’re

generating fake trackbacks by exploiting old WordPress blogs and/or doofus webmasters who don’t know when they’re getting trackback spam as comments but are approving these fake trackbacks thinking someone really did link to their site…

I’m all for exploiting site and site owners’ weaknesses to gain a competitive SEO edge, but the thing to worry about here is that

  • the old WordPress sites will eventually get updated, therefore the new WordPress sites won’t have this exploit,
  • and blog owners will get smarter and start using better trackback spam software like SpamKarma to prevent fake trackbacks.

Do you remember when everyone had blog comments as DoFollow, then that all got changed over to Nofollow when blog owners caught on to things?

Well, that’s the same thing that’s going to happen with trackbacks at some point, too.

And if you’re exploiting a careless webmaster’s site, then what do you think the quality of that site is going to be like?

What kind of link quality does a “forgotten” site offer generally?

I bought Trackback Spider from Jared and was offered a refund quickly.  In my opinion you have to provide a whole HELL of a lot more value for a service in order to charge $77.00/month for it.

A guy I respect Andy Beard, didn’t recommend Trackback Spider a long time ago (see here) and the BlackHat World forum/site doesn’t show many happy people happy with it, either.

Hey Andy… I just sent you a REAL Trackback!  :)

Hey Dan,

I just found these two new automatic backlinking services.

The Link Juicer and Traffic Bug.

From what people say on the warriorforum, the Link Juicer automatic bookmarks your URLs, posting from blogs, and bookmark your bookmarks and blog posts. I’m not exactly sure how it work but there’s a diagram on how it works and in a way, all your links sort of turn into a linkwheel.

http://www.warriorforum.com/warrior-special-offers-forum/117233-link-juicer-free-one-month-page-one-google-pay-nothing.html

I think this cost $37/month if you registered from the WF and has a 30 trial period.

From the salepage, the Traffic bug is still in beta. The service just automatic Social bookmark, submit to rss directories, search engine submission, and directory submission of your chosen url and internal pages aswell.

It currently cost $24.97/month and there’s a 40 days trial period somewhere.

I think they both sound like a handy tool.

Hey Elbert, yeah TheLinkJuicer is next on my list of services to test.

The interesting thing about it, is they do more than just social bookmarking exchanges, they build up those Web properties constantly and turn them into decent profiles/pages, and not just lame-a** link wheels which don’t do much for you unless you continue to build them up and add content to them.

Review and testing on this will commence in a few days if program owner gets back to me by that time,

Thanks,

Dan

P.S. Looking into traffic bug now, too

I have been using unique article wizard and manual article directory submission. I have a bunch of comments that the askimet plugin caught for me. Are these trackbacks that can help my website rank better if I approve them? I have already deleted a lot of them. Can you tell me if I should delete the rest or should I approve them? If I delete them, does that mean that I just lost a link from a site that was trying to link to me?

How can I tell if it is a legitimate link from a website or just spam that I should delete?

Jack, good question

I generally delete whatever Akismet puts into SPAM category, but sometimes good comments get caught in SPAM because the comments are so lengthy or have more than one link in the comments area.

When receiving trackbacks, go to the URL that linked to you and see if its a quality site or an auto-blog site. Delete the auto-blog site trackbacks, but allow a few trackbacks in to ensure that your have more keywords in them, though. Usually, trackbacks link to your site with post titles in the anchor text, and if this title shows up in the comments area as approved comment, the search engines see comments as additional content and sometimes help boost your content in the SERPs for the keywords in your title.

If you don’t want any trackbacks ever, then de-select that option in your Discussion area in WordPress:

Allow comments on this post
Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this post

There are some wordpress plugins that do this, some of which require API keys, I’ll dig up a list of those one of these days, but one thing to consider is that you don’t really have any control over what sites you’re linking out to since it’s done for you automatically based on some sort of algorithm which is maintained and created by these product owners. These tools also tend to slow down the load time for sites, which seems to be a new piece of criteria taken into consideration by the search engines when ranking sites.

However, form what I’ve read, load times are compared to other site sin your geographic region, not just overall load time for a site compared to all other sites on the ‘net.

I will provide a list soon though, since you asked.

Thanks,

Dan
