LinkVana - An Honest Review
LinkVana is a brand new service which allows you to generate an unlimited number of quality one-way links to any page of your site semi-automatically.
It was founded by SEO professional David Kelly who has been developing the service for a long time, to ensure the quality is second to none. I am a member of LinkVana, and it has to be said that the quality of the service does seem to be the main focus of the company. From it's clean design through to its training videos, this site just oozes the outstanding quality that so many in this niche seem to "forget".
It's this quality that makes the service so good for any marketer looking to set their SEO campaigns on semi-autopilot and generate an unlimited number of quality one-way links to their site. Therefore using this service in markets with meager competition will likely provide you with a strong competitive advantage, allowing you to conquer many of the medium to less competitive key terms in that market.
It's basically a fast-track ticket for a ride on the SEO express. There's no more wasting time looking for new blogs to comment on, or finding reciprocal link directories to list your site in. It's a shortcut for anyone looking to boost their SEO rankings in the safest and most productive way possible... And here's why:
What Is It?
This means the entire network is of the utmost quality. Its blogs all have their own "real" authority, PR(pagerank) and link value which means that when you post your content with links back to your site - you have the benefit of the best quality links.
Here's a brief summary of what you can expect from LinkVana:
The network is maintained with a team of highly skilled and devoted staff who monitor the blog "segments" to see which are performing the best and then aim to optimize the network from the inside. This means that you can rely on the service to provide you with an endless stream of quality sites to post your links on with minimal concerns about how it might affect your Google "trust rank".
Why Is It So Good?
Not only that, but because David Kelly realizes that naturally built links, I.E. a steady growth of links over a period of time, are far more beneficial to a site's rankings than 100's of links acquired overnight, he has "spun" the service so that you can ONLY submit 4-6 posts per day per site.
This means that you will NOT generate 10,000 back links from this service in a week because it has been built to NOT allow that. This is why I have been referring to it as a "semi automatic" service. It basically posts for you, but does not do it entirely automatically. If you read up in my "How Does It Work" section, you can see how the service is tailored to give you maximum links in the safest way possible.
Now, if you look at a typical Digital point forums "blog network" post out to 400 low quality, "full of crap" blogs which have often only been indexed in Google for a month or so... I trust you can see how powerful LinkVana is to anyone looking to gain links the most productive, safest way possible. And the best thing is that you can push as many sites or "projects" through LinkVana as you want.
It's this safety and quality that has given me the confidence to not only sign up for the service, but to also recommend it to anyone I can. It's only open for 300 members to join and I was told I was member #189... That means that of the time of me writing this, there are just another 111 spaces left in LinkVana.
On a side note, think about if you pushed 10 sites through the service and generated 500 back links to each. They then went on to conquer their respective key terms and started pulling in $10 a day EACH from Adsense (that's a pretty poor rate but let's work with it). That means that you've used LinkVana to generate you a $100 a day business empire which doesn't need maintaining as much as a "real" business ever would. Neat huh?
How Does It Work?

This means that you can sign up for Linkvana, create a project, write 50 posts for that project and "queue" those posts. Not until a predetermined time will those posts start to filter into the network and even then, only 4-6 will become "live" each day. Each of the posts you make allows you to have links back to your site which means SEO juice!
And the best thing is, that each post is reviewed by real people. This means you can't get away with sub-standard content OR "spun" content which would compromise the quality of the network. On that note, sites which are deemed "low quality" and posts which are literally stuffed with links will not be allowed to enter the blogs either.
Is It Worth The Monthly Cost?
LinkVana is quite a costly service at $147 per month and as with any investment, you have to look at it as a case of ROI (Return on Investment). Because you're investing in helping your sites to get more exposure through natural listings, you will therefore be looking for a return of more traffic and more profit.
When deciding whether LinkVana is worth the monthly payout, you must remember that the fruits of your labor are NOT going to be an overnight thing. The service has been designed for link building, NOT traffic exposure. Although the blogs in the network probably have their own traffic flow and you might receive some of that traffic, it's essential to remember that this is building you a steady SEO foundation that will bring in free business for years to come.
This is why you need to consider that the effects of your LinkVana work probably won't really show for at least two weeks after you have your posts go live. The whole service is built around an on-going, steady momentum of links, which means you should expect your search rankings to be the same.
LinkVana is a pretty neat service in that it gives you exactly what you want. There's no "frilly bits" with this package because it's there to help you, not distract you. This said, I did get a slight surprise when I saw that they actually offer a complete outsourcing system for $2 a post when I logged in. It's a nice touch that will save a lot of time. I haven't used this feature and so cannot comment on how good the posts are, but if they are anything like the site itself, they should be very good.
To me, the value of LinkVana is the fact that I can sit back and manage my link build strategy from a more centralized position. Granted, I don't rely solely on this service to give me links, because I use forum posting and social book marking too. However it means that you know your one-way links campaigns ARE paying off in the safest way possible.
Think of the time and effort saved from doing things from LinkVana, you've got the savings of not having to search for sites to post links on AND you know the sites your link is going to are all authoritive and valuable in their own right. Even if you hired a freelancer to do the job - you will either be outlaying lots of capital or time... whichever is most important to you.
That's why I think LinkVana is worth DOUBLE it's monthly cost. To me, I can have simultaneous projects generating thousands of quality links all with the ease of a single control panel. All my efforts are ensured to be valuable to me and so all I need to do is sit back and watch the posts go live.
For $147/mo, you could have a freelancer charging $3 per link to get just 49 links to your site. Most of these will either be reciprocal or on pretty poor websites. Think about if you had two freelancers doing the same thing - your costs would double for the same amount of links for each site.
What Does It Look Like?
Since I am a member, I thought it would be beneficial to post some screen shots of what the "command center" looks like. I know whenever I read a review, I always like to see what it's like "on the inside":
Is It All Good?
LinkVana might be a great service, however it does have several problems.
The first is that it does rely on work in order for posts to be created. It might be a "lazy-man's way to SEO heaven" but it still needs you to invest time or money in it's inbuilt outsourcing program. I guess it's more of a psychological problem than anything because you feel that you shouldn't be doing any writing, since everything else is done for you... however the hard reality is that you need to write every single post, or have someone write it for you.
The second problem relates to the security of the network. You see, Google mightn't be able to trace it and it's members can't trace it but the people behind it will be able to trace it. Now, if the entire network was discovered and your links were in it, the likely hood is that nothing will happen to you. David Kelly's blogs will probably be banned, but your sites should be fine.
That's IF any of the staff behind this service leak the exact URL's of the blogs to the public. It's unlikely but you never know what might happen.
Thirdly, and this is one of those REALLY skeptical ones, is that LinkVana's own USP(unique selling point) - it's actual network. Because we can't see what's in the network and because no-one else can see what's in the network - how do we know a "network" actually exists? It's all about trust but in reality - David Kelly could be posting our posts on his MySpace profile for all we know.
What Do I Think?
Think about your link building campaigns and how valuable those one-way, related links really are. If they're not snapped up quickly by a hungry webmaster, they can sell for $100's. If you're talking about PR3,4 & 5 - the price could be as much as doubled. That's why I have chosen to use LinkVana for my linking.
I'd rather spend money on this service than spend time looking for links that would best help me site. I could do that too, but I have all the resources I need with this service, which provides me with a central link building hub for a fraction of the cost of a "normal" link building campaign.
Essentially, I think that if you've found value and inspiration from this review - then I strongly recommend you get involved with LinkVana before it's too late and the 300 spaces are filled. It's definitely something for the more experienced SEO & marketer which leads me to believe that if you didn't find this review useful then this service isn't for you.
LinkVana is $147 per month however it jumps to $197 in a couple of days, when "pre-launch" is over. If you're interested, then like I said - it will only cost you $147 to try it for a month.
