3 Weeks of insanely high quality link building
The key to improving your search engine rankings is to gradually build more backlinks to your website. We all know this...
However, as an internet/affiliate marketer or website owner, there are many other important things to focus on.
That is why we would like to assist you in your link building efforts.
In 21 days, we will build a Search Engine Optimized mega-net for your website. Our goal is to improve the rankings for your desired keywords.
Tell Me, What Is A Mega-Net?

A mega-net is a large network of various web 2.0 properties, linking together in a specific way. A mega-net combines all the popular and effective link building techniques, like: Article marketing, video marketing, RSS submissions, link wheels, blog commenting and social bookmarking...
Here's what the linking structure looks like:

The 3 Week Breakdown

The mega-net link building project takes 3 weeks to complete. Before we start your link building project, we write all the articles that are needed in the coming 3 weeks. The articles are original (Copyscape-passed, no spun!) and about 300 words each. The articles are written by native English speakers. We optimize each article for your keywords.
Week 1

We start your project by building 2 search engine optimized 'satellite' blogs on Wordpress and Blogspot. We add relevant pictures and videos to make the blogs look natural. On each satellite blog there will be 3 high quality posts, related to your website. The two blogs, link to your main website url.
Next, we publish articles on Ezine to promote your blogs and two of your website URLs. EzineArticles.com is known for their great rankings in the search engines.
As a bonus this week, we publish an article on Quizilla and LiveJournal, promoting your main website URL. We always use your desired keywords as anchor text.
We submit all of the RSS feeds to 100+ aggregators.
Week 2

In week 2, we'll be promoting your Ezine articles with 2 mini link wheels. We post a unique article on each web 2.0 property.
The first link wheel includes: Blinkweb.com, Scribd.com and Edublogs.com.
For the second link wheel we use: Terapad.com, Multiply.com and Onsugar.com.
All 6 web 2.0 properties link to your main URL as well.
We create two Squidoo lenses to promote the link wheels. The Squidoo lens will have an RSS Feed from your Wordpress and Blogspot blogs. We also add pictures and videos to the lenses.
This week, your main URL gets bookmarked to 25 social sites, like: Digg.com, Reddit.com, Buzz.Yahoo.com, Delicious.com, Propeller.com and many more...
We submit all of the RSS feeds to 100+ aggregators.
Week 3

There's lots of work to be done in week 3!
First, we publish 2 articles on GoArticles.com to promote:
1. Your 2 Squidoo lenses
2. Your website URL #2
3. Your main website URL.
We also build the foundation of the mega-net. We use 6 wiki sites because they are very effective to get your sites indexed fast.
In week 3, a unique video will be created, related to your website. The video will be published on YouTube.com and Dailymotion.com with a backlink in the description, linking to your main URL.
We also post 10 comments on various blogs, related to your website. We use your keywords and anchor text in the comments. These blogs can be No or Do-Follow.
Again, we submit all RSS feeds to 100+ aggregators.

Their home page only showing 4 links in Y! site explorer....
Link wheels still work, just not like they used to, and need a fair amount of extra work to really do the business...

Just a quick thought before the experts come along and pick the above to pieces:

If it is so easy (& cheap) to get to the top of Google, everyone would do it, and if everyone did it, not everyone could be top ...!

Such systemised linking strucutres leave a bigger footprint than Sasquatch!

The only way that these kinds of things work these days is if they are completely random. So unless he randomizes his process for every client; they will get discovered and shut down by Google very quickly.

Plus it doesn't appear that he has any protective layers in the ring, leaving the main site very vulnerable to Google's wrath.

Yes, this is a scam. Its too easy for anyone to do this themselves, and involves wacking up a few articles and a bit of social site networking thrown in with a few blog comments that wont work at the level they are suggesting.

Poorly done I'm afraid and £300 can be better spent elsewhere.

Sounds like an OK strategy for part of a larger link building plan. The links are boosting less authority domains and in turn giving more authority to outbound links from these domains to your main domain. It's something you could easily do yourself though by simply signing up for several blog sites and adding some low value content and linking to it from external sources and back through to your main site.

Before parting with 300 bucks I would ask for examples of keyphrases used for other clients and trace back the web of links to see if these have contributed towards higher rankings. The proof is in the puddiing as they say so seeing examples is a must before handing over any cash.

Saying that though - this is not a solution and having parted with 300 bucks to pay for these services you are going to need to part with more bucks for more services OR go DIY SEO.

Personally I would not pay for this, SEO is ongoing and 300 bucks is not going to get you far on the broader scale of things.

This looks like an interesting set up, so I'll suggest a few perceptions so far:

Advantages:

1. Cost effective source of links
2. Covers a number of IP ranges
3. Provides content on reputable sites
4. Probably useful for longtail or low competition keywords

Disadvantages:

1. Not all links will carry juice
2. Network is unlikely to carry much impact for competitive keywords
3. Likely to need further development afterwards


In other words, this looks like a potentially useful set up to build up a new website, or add peripheral strategies to an existing SEO campaign. It allows the development of multiple web properties fairly cost effectively, but will likely need your continued input to get value from it.

Will probably test it out on a couple of sites and see what sort of impact it may be able to offer.

Nothing revolutionary there. The biggest problem is with diminshing WEB2.0 properties, i.e. they are getting spammed and are now either nofollowing all links, or are not accepting new accounts.

I have used a combination of systems like this to get results and get juice flowing around, but, as stated, there are draw backs.

Following on from the above, I suspect the main value of this service is not the links, but the fact that multiple content channels are developed for you. However, to really make this work would probably require continued development of those content channels.

Seen a few things like this come up before over the years, and seen people rush in thinking these were cheap quick fix solutions - only to find that they actually needed to spend time and effort developing them afterwards, and usually complaining about that fact.

Really, every new business should be trying to exploit existing social media channels as much as possible, and this is one potential method to build a starter platform for it. Probably better to build your own according to your own specifications, but this is a ready-made solution possibly worth considering.

As before, will test this out first, and report back on any discernible impact.

I can tell you right now and save you a ton of effort - this won't work. There's too much information/websites housed on these social portals for any single website to stand out effectively.

Nothing needs to stand out, only googles robots need to see it, and they will. This is link building, not advertising :p

lets make something crystal clear here, this is pure and unadulterated link prositution. It has very little to do with using the social web to market a company and everythign to do with using the social web to RANK a company website :)

'Proper' WEB2.) marketing is done apart from this.

The best way to get a good ranking in google is to add very good deep rich unique content.

Dont try and cheat it may end up in getting banned or sandboxed by google, then you have to go into the reconsideration stage which takes ages to get back in the listings.

These are the best tricks i know:

When building backlinks check the pagerank of each website before allowing them to link to you.

1 pagerank 1 backlink is worth 100 pagerank 0 backlinks so be sure to check each website first.

Dont use the same anchor text in each backlink try and make each one unique but with the same meaning.

Dont waste your time posting links that are going to be deleted within a few days or months. Try get links which will stay there for a long time, write articles with 500 words or more submit them to press release sites etc.

Update your sitemap everytime you add,change pages

Keywords

Make sure you use all these on your keywords within your website:

use bold,italic,underline,colour size e.t.c

Use H2,H1,H3,

keep your keywords and phases with your page titles.
