Linxboss Reactions
After using Linxboss for a few months, I was able to get a pretty good feel for what type of results it was going to offer. Pretty much any keyword that I plugged into a project seemed to benefit from getting the consistent links over time. For that reason it seemed to work quite well.
Automation for real
The best thing about the whole system was that it was all automated. I didn’t really need to do much else other than set up a few links as configurations settings. Set it and forget it.
That is the main appeal of Linxboss. You don’t have to spend hardly any time at all carrying out a link building campaign.
5 domains per account
With one account, I was able to input 5 different domains, and then any combination of keywords/pages for each domain. Each domain gets to have about 200 links per month, max. So you have to consider this when inputting larger amounts of keywords and urls to target. If you want to really build a lot of links for just a couple keywords, it’s best to only input a few keywords into the project.
What are these links like?
Many of the links showed up as trackbacks on my WordPress sites, so I was able to get a pretty good idea of what types of pages the links were placed on. The links all came from blog posts on web sites with a wide variety in styles. The links were placed as text links at the last lines of web page content. The articles and content on the pages varied wildly in topic and writing styles, sometimes being in the same niche as my keywords but not often.
I started to get a feel for what the Linxboss links looked like after a while, so it was interesting to see them popping up in the trackbacks and stuff. Even to this day, I still receive new trackback notifications from projects that haven’t been in Linxboss for months. So the links are still out there and still getting crawled even quite some time after being built, apparently.
Results?
Overall, I got good results for my campaigns. Some sites just didn’t want to move much, but the majority of my sites that I set up in Linxboss climbed up the SERPS rather consistently. I got several sites onto page one for some tough keywords. I was pretty surprised.
Positives of Linxboss
Ok, so now that I’ve got the initial info out there, let’s take a look at what I liked about Linxboss or felt was a positive.
- All sites that I used Linxboss on seemed to benefit to some extent. Some benefited a LOT. Easy target keywords we’re no problem for Linxboss combined with a well optimized site.
- It’s a “set it and forget it” link building system. It feels weird at first. You basically spend a few minutes adding the sites and links, and then you really don’t even need to log back in for months if you don’t want to.
- Cost (I’m also going to list this as a negative) – on the positive side, you are basically spending $25 a month per site with Linxboss for automatic link building. If your site makes more than $25 a month, that’s a great thing to have the link building efforts cost-controlled.
- Links 4 Links – this is something they supposedly had added right before I signed on. It seemed to work best with established sites that had quality established links. Linxboss simply builds links to your indexed links. It adds more juice to the links pointing to your site.
Negatives of Linxboss
There are also some negatives, these are highly my opinion and subject to debate or interpretation however.
- The types of links you get may make you nervous. I would frequently get trackbacks on my blogs, open up the link and view the pages that Linxboss was putting my links on. Most of the time it was an awkwardly written blog article on a page that had nothing to do with the topic of my site, with a text anchor link tacked on at the end of the article. Often my text anchor links didn’t have anything to do with what was on the site or the page, even though it was the desired anchor text I wanted to get linked from. This could be a positive or a negative depending on your standards.
- Cost (This was also listed as a positive) – if you don’t make more than $25/mo from each site you have running in Linxboss, you could lose money. So if you have a lot of sites that generate a little money each, this may not be a good link building option.
Conclusion
Okay, so I’ve briefly covered my opinions. I think it’s a great system if you have sites that can afford the roughly $30/mo fee per site. You pay about $150 a month to subscribe to Linxboss and can add a max of 5 domains – so that breaks down to about $30/mo per site. If you have sites that generate enough money to get over that initial monetary investment each month, this service could be very much worth your time if you don’t like spending time building links on a consistent basis.
If you have more than 5 sites, they also offer additional domain slots for extra monthly fees. So it is quite possible to use this on more than 5 sites at a time if needed.
