Seo Linkvine Review – SeoLinkvine, Articleranks And 1WayLinks
Brad Callen's Seo Linkvine just re-opened its doors on 28th April 2010. Seo Linkvine is a Blog Network which allows you to post your article to other members blogs. In addition you also have the option getting articles posted to your own blogs.
You might have come across the name Matt Callen. He is the Brad Callen's brother and the owner of Myarticlenetwork, which is about the same service, but using a completely different network of blogs.
The main purpose of Seo Linkvine and any other Blog Network is to build tons of backlinks to increase search engine rankings.
How does it work?
1. You prepare a quality article 2. Spin it ( I recommend using The Best Spinner ) 3. Submit to the system 4. Get hundreds of backlinks from each article over time.
There are several similar services out there: Myarticlenetwork, Backlinksolutions (currently closed), Articleranks, 1waylinks.net, too name the most popular ones.
I have been a member of Myarticlenetwork, but cancelled my membership, because I did not get any results. As of now I am still a member of Articleranks, 1waylinks.net and Seo Linkvine
So let's have a look at the Pros and Cons of the Blog networks I mentioned above:
Seo Linkvine
I joined on 28th April 2010 and submitted 275 spun articles.
My stats after 1 week are as follows:
Total articles submitted to the system: 273 (273 total articles)
Total number of times those articles have been approved: 1120
Total number of times those articles were presented to site owners: 1616
Total acceptance rate by site owners: 90 %
I have to admit that I am a little disappointed about the distribution speed and expected my articles to get distributed a lot faster. Right now I am under the impression that the Blog Network of Seo Linkvine is not big enough to get articles out faster.
This would explain why they started a contest to make people submit their blogs. So obviously the Blog Network will grow over time and probably at a fast rate. However, the disadvantage I see is that in difference to 1waylinks.net there is no limit on how many blogs residing on the same C-Class blog can be submitted.
If you have been doing online marketing for a while you know what I am talking about. Links coming from the same C-Class IP address do not count as much than different C-Class Ip addresses.
1waylinks.net only accepts one blog form one C-Class Ip address, which makes real sense.
Seo Linkvine does not have any rule like that and in theory one could create 1000 blogs using a Hostgator account and submit them all to the system just to win the Sony Bravia LCD Tv.....
So the contest they are running will increase the number of Blogs in the network fast, but the quality will definitely suffer a lot.
Right now you might say: Wow, so should I stay away from Seo Linkvine? Yes and No.
You have to keep in mind that every single one of the Blog Network services has its weak points. This does not make them completely useless.
Let's Have A Look At 1waylinks.net
1waylinks.net only accepts Blogs from different C-Class IPs. However they don't give you the option choosing categories. All blog posts are submitted to the same category on ALL blogs, which makes the blog accepting blog posts from 1waylinks.net look pretty spammy. In addition you only get 250 links a month for $47 and an additional 50 links for every Blog (unique C-Class Blog) you submit. Another disadvantage is that many topics are not allowed e.g. get ex back, year 2012, spirituality, dating etc. However I think that it is still good value, because 1waylinks.net has over 4000 Blogs in the network residing on different C-Class Ips. Your article will get distributed fast.
Seo Linkvine gives you tons of categories to choose from. By doing this your article will in most cases be sent to a niche blog that is highly relevant to your article, which is a great thing.
If you are a blog owner and accept articles form Seo Linkvine you have the option of rejecting articles that are less than 30% unique and you can also manually reject all articles before they get posted to your blog. I have submitted 30 of my blogs. I do not want them to get spammed and Seo Linkvine so far sent me a lot of quality articles! However, I have to admit that I still manually rejected some of them, because they did not fit EXACTLY into my niche.
So what about Articleranks?
So far Articleranks is my favorite Blog Network. I already wrote a review which can be found at Articleranks Review
You have 311 articles registered on the system.
Those articles have been presented 34907 times for consideration by site owners.
The articles have been approved 27305 times and rejected 5864 times, but have auto rejected 5657, which means your articles have a rejection rate of 18%.
A total of 1738 copies are still waiting for a decision by site owners. In total, the system has successfully published 26022 copies of your articles.
I joined Articleranks in February 2010 and I am impressed by the numbers and also by the fact that I get REAL visitors from these blog posts. I cannot say how much my rankings increased by using Articleranks, because I am using various services at the same time.
Right now I cannot make a fair decision whether Seo Linkvine is as good as Articleranks. Only time will tell, but I will keep you updated!

Myarticlenetwork, Linkvana and other Blog Communities
It's true that you need to get as many backlinks as possible to get your site indexed and ranked. No doubt about that this is why I joined Linkvana and Myarticlenetwork beginning of the year and stayed a member for 4 months.
If you have no idea what I am talking about: Linkvana and Myarticlenetwork have huge Blog Communities hosted on multiple IPs and you can send your article (blog post) to Blogs in their network. Myarticlenwetwork blog community primarily consists of people who have signed up to receive blog posts sent to their blogs.
Myarticlenetwork states that they have a blog network of 10,000 blogs and tthis might definitely be true. When you become a member you can create a spinned version of your article and a unique version will be automatically sent to blogs relating to your niche in their blog network. It does not blast out your blog post to all blogs instantly, but over time to look natural.
In 4 months. I had created over 200 blog posts which were posted over 25,000 times. The result: Nothing.
I know, backlinks will not show up instantly, but after 4 months not a single blog post was listed as a backlink neither when I looked up my domains in Google nor in Backlinkwatch.
The domains I used did not get any boost in rankings nor in traffic. After 4 months there should at least be some results.
So why is this? My guess is that the blogs in the network are mostly spammy autoblogs that do not have any authority in the eyes of google. Thus google will not give links found on this site any link value.
It's the same with Linkvana.
This is why I cancelled my membership to both of them. It's obviously not worth it. At least not for me.
From what I see know it make smore sense to get ONE high quality backlink than 1000s of backlinks from low quality blogs.
