What Is It?
Automated backlinking software
Short Review:
A nice idea; that you could automate backlinking and trick Google into loving your website, but it simply doesn't work, and might even damage your reputation online.
Before You Buy:
They've a few exciting and lofty-sounding videos explaining just HOW MANY backlinks you can get per day by using their software. They say how easy it is, and how automation makes the process of getting fresh backlinks to your site.
Later on down the road they try to sell you membership upgrades that were not advertised in the beginning, showing you where the ‘real power' of their service is kept.
After that, a new membership level is introduced. There will no doubt be more levels introduced down the road. Plus, you will get an influx of emails promoting other people's ‘make money online' products and services.
What I Liked:
I joined their service more than a year ago when backlinking was the ‘hot item', and everyone was looking for ways to get more links, faster. There's a free level of membership, so I started up. Pretty soon, I thought I saw some indication that it was working, so I upgraded.
Some time later, I upgraded again.
A while later, I upgraded again.
I was drunk on backlinking, getting many each day, all automated, with ‘spun' content I outsourced. I thought I was doing great, but little did I know…
