SEO Link Vine Review

SEO Link Vine as everyone knows is Brad Callens offering to the glamourous world of spin and submit babbleized craplink building.

If you know about these systems, what makes a good one and what makes a bad one, then you probably need read no further then the following block quote:

When setting up SEO Link Vine Mr Callen offered a rather large television set as a prize to whoever could add the most sites to the network

The result, an absolute shit pile of a network, banned or PR0 WordPress MU sites are their stock and trade, total garbage.

SEO Link Vine does have a few things going for it though:

  1. They have a pretty interface which is a pleasure to use compared to something like UAW
  2. Uses standard spin text
  3. You can submit to many different categories
  4. There is no limit on the number of submissions you can make
  5. They take any old shit you care to fire at them

As you can probably deduce from the way the network was built (bribing web spammers with the promise of a free TV set) no one really gives a shit about quality. If you are too lazy to produce a passable spinner this is the service for you. Swipe an article from your preferred directory, pump it through your favorite automated spin generator on auto pilot, maybe clean up the frist two lines to pass “the cursory glance test”, and you are good to go.

These links are worthless unless you have the means to pump in secondary links,  so you will need to use it in conjuction with some kind of bookmarking / link building software.

And that is pretty well it for submissions. I keep SEO Link Vine (and AMA) because I am already producing spinners for other networks. For me the cost in using these services is in producing the spinners (I actually submit better ones most of the time as other networks do have some standards, unlike this outfit) so it makes sense for me to syndicate those spinners as far and wide as possible.

SEO Link Vine gets my subscription purely off the back of the other services for which I am already producing “content”, and becuase it has a spinner and no limit on the number of posts.

If I were not already creating posts for those other services I would not touch SEO Link Vine with a barge pole.

There is another side to SEO Link Vine of course… free content!!

I mentioned earlier that you can submit to as many categories as you like (at least I have never found an upper limit) and guess what, plenty of morons do. So, people write a post for their “cure hairy toe fungal infections in 20 minutes” niche site, and think that they may as well try for a few extra links by submitting it to hmm… finance… technology… travel and so on an so forth. I gave up on the free content side of it as there was no control in place, and I did not want to spend my time sifing the rubbish.

If you want free Content then I think UAW is one of the better ones, they at least limit categories and reject posts on the grounds of quality.

Its a real shame that having produced such a nice interface and professinal looking system they totally cheaped out on the network itself. Whilst other services are building a network of half decent domains, Mr Callen could not be bothered with that and thought he could achieve the same result by waving a TV set under the noses of a few webspammers.

Should You Use SEO Link Vine?

Probably Not:

As I mentioned, if you are already using all the other services that require the same kind of content, then IMO its worth adding this one to the list providing you can afford it, and have the means to backlink the worthless turds it will serve up for you.

It is highly automated with no limits, so it does provide another outlet for your existing spun link wrappers. If you already have the spinners then adding this service is not really going to cost you anything in terms of time, and that is the basis on which I use it. An add on to what I am already doing.

If you are looking for one or two decent services that are self indexing and will help you rank on their own, without tracking down and backlinking the posts then you can safely cross SEO Link Vine one off your list.

      Yeah, I actively avoid anything with “Brad Callens” name on it TBH, the guy doesnt give a shit about anything he sells. Back in the day I bought SEO Elite and Keyword Elite from him, they are both dead products now, so I had to go out and buy replacemnts like SEO SpyGlass.

      His other SEO Link Vine Elite was just a rebrand / hack of someone elses service. I got a laughable mail shot about “SEO Link Vine Elite Network 4″ from Monseur Callen bleating on about how he had already sold out 3 spearate networks at ludicrous monthly fees… anyway that mail shot had him pleading something like:

      “please please dont sign up for SEO Link Vine Elite 4 if you are already a member of networks 1, 2 or 3, PLEASE give the newbies a chance

      What a f&*?!ng joke.
