I think most only except English articles and to be honest if you are targetting italian keywords these systems are probably not going to give you the results you want. You are better looking for some top quality italian blogs and asking to be featured or send in a guest post.

I think automated link building will only ever do so much, you need to get as many link as possible from unique domains, this in my opinion is what will give your site a real boost.

What do you think about?

No problem, when it comes to link building it is best to get as many ideas together as possible.

I can’t go into the new idea for the network as technically I don’t own it but am helping someone to test it. I see sites like linkvana and backlinks solutions and they are good for getting some anchor links but what they all lack is relevance, as all there blogs are generic like an article network.

A solid network would be one that is kept private, with relevant blogs on subjects all on seperate IP’s.

I find when it comes to link building it easy to get drawn into the “every link has to be quality” club, yet when you analyse most of the sites sitting at the top of the SERPS you can see that 60 – 70% of their links come from directories, paid links, articles and press releases. The other 30% come over time from quality sources.

I like to put good content together and the links I get from it are my “quality links”, everything else I do is for anchor text and sheer link popularity. If you build enough links from diverse range of sources you can even compete in competitive niches.

I’ll keep in touch and anytime you want to swap ideas just give me a bell.

p.s. Use UAW for niche blogs (you know the £50 -£60 a month blogs) it really does work a treat I’ll be posting on this at the beginning of next year.

Please keep me in the loop about that network, I started to build out a semi network in a niche but then scraped it and went back to the drawing board in terms of a site I am working on.

However if you are looking for input from someone who is link obsessed, i would be happy to be a guinea pig in any test phase of a product you have coming out

I had always been a backlink solutions fan but decided to try linkvana a couple of months back. The average blog I receive links from is a PR3 and have seen some pretty clear cut results using it. I can’t discuss clients but on this site I went from 38 to 28 for the keyword ‘search engine optimisation’ and from 9th th 5th for the keyword “seo techniques”.

I think with any link building method or system there comes a time when it stops working. When this happens I go through a simple repeat, start the process again with directory submissions.

UAW is extremely valuable, I have ranked many sites using this tool, especially my niche blogs, 3 months and 5 articles I can have a site ranking for semi competitive keywords (top five results PR3 or less). I use it to keep a good link growth and to get the right anchors to SEOwizz but as you say, you need to add more quality links into the picture, unfortunately these only really come through genuine referrals and valuable link partnerships.

I’ll keep an eye on linkvana and as soon as it stops being effective you will see me leaving.

I am actually working on a new link building system I cannot discuss yet, hooking up with real bloggers to create an unmatched network, it is still in the testing stages but hopefully it won’t be long before it opens up.

Thanks for the comment and feedback.
