Has anyone used seolinkvine

Has anyone used seolinkvine? They talk about it being very good but sometimes too good to be true with these prices. It seems legit and simple but obviously results will vary for everyone.

Not quite up to date with their latest offering, but I've used it in the past along with many other content networks.
Unlike many people here I don't think something should be ignored just because it's against search engine guidelines. If nothing else it's worth testing what's working, then figuring out why it's working.
To answer your question; of the many large and small content networks I tested, SEOLinkVine produced the worst results by far. ALN and 10LAD both produced results, either in combination with other linking or on their own (before being decimated). SEOLinkVine did not.
I see they claim to have updated but are selling the same results as before. If it didn't work then, I'm not convinced it will work now.
Thoughts on proceeding.
Personally curated content networks, or even joining some smaller editor driven content networks will still probably get you results, if done well. However when they get found out and discounted you'll be in trouble. Sites that I had propped up by these networks ended up with a penalty from which they've still not recovered.
If you're after some shorter term success, might be worth doing, but in the long run you'll be better putting efforts into improving the site and relationships.

My guess is the reason people do it is because it's easy and they think it will do them some good.
I understand wanting to get links. But you also don't want to wish you could remove those links two months down the road. For example, you'll see sites and gigs that advertise getting a bunch of .edu links, which may initially sound wonderful, but may actually end up looking like https://drupalsites.purchase.edu/journalism/index.php?q=node/52. No human is going to read that and buy from you, and a search engine isn't going to give your site any positive value form that type of link.
Here are a bunch of posts in the Link Building section of the SEOmoz blog about how some of the experts go about getting links. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/category/link-building

Well i see your point but then why do so many people do it?
I guess what i am really looking for is other ways to get links. Is manual emailing and hoping for links the way all the pros do this?

Those two haven't been discussed much specifically on SEOmoz, but in general this crowd isn't in favor of submitting the same piece of content to tons of blogs you've never seen before, having link/blog networks, or having a bunch of spun content. It's funny to talk about "Think before you beverage" being in an article about alcoholism, but less so when that's what has been done to your content to make it unique.

Also what about unique article wizard? They talk about being a step above link vine and comply more with the latest google rules.

Has anyone seen a recent drop in Page Authority?
We have seen a sizeable drop in Page Authority for three of our key category pages over the last one week.The total number of linking root domains has increased for all the three pages. We have disavowed a few spammy links but we doubt that would cause a drop in page authority. The domain authority is unchanged.Is there any way we could figure out the cause of the drop? Has anyone else also noticed a drop in page authority for their pages?

Not sure which url to use for backlinks
Hi our site, northamericahvac.com automatically goes to http://www.northamericahvac.com/servlet/StoreFront. There isnt anything I can do about it though, because we use prostores which limits things for us. That leads me to ask, when I'm making backlinks would I use northamericahvac.com www.northamericahvac,com, or http://www.northamericahvac.com/servlet/StoreFront.

Site used to rank first for main keyword - now dropped drastically
The home page for this site (http://bit.ly/4m1eXy) was ranking between #1 and #3 for the term "Minneapolis criminal defense" as of a few months ago. Now the home page has dropped to #23 for this keyword, and the only changes we've made should be enhancing its ability to rank - through on-page optimization, cleaning up site errors, and ensuring good, quality content. The thing is, the sites who rank ahead of our site have lower domain authority and page authority, and their content, quite frankly, just isn't that great. Some of them are definitely doing SEO but they aren't necessarily targeting "Minneapolis criminal defense" like we are for the search term. Before our company started doing SEO for this website, they hired a company that generated a large number of backlinks that Google would probably now see as spammy. The previous company also used to direct traffic towards the home page for the keyword "Minneapolis DWI laywer" too - and we have since stopped doing that. So I'm wondering with all of Google's algorithmic updates if this is the reason we're seeing a drop for this term, and if Google's confused. We're pretty confused, too, though, since the sites ranking ahead of us don't seem to be doing squeaky clean SEO by any means. Advice for us? We're stumped. Would anyone consider Google's disavow tool for the bad links?

Is Link Detox program safe to use?
Hi I have been doing some research today to help a client who has lots of links to their site but they are mainly of low or no value. The links were created by another SEO agency so we are not sure in all cases how the links came about or who to contact to get rid of them. I have come across link detox http://goo.gl/o2fKl. I wanted to suggest to my client to use this to help them see what links are bad and what should be kept I have two question's; Has anyone had any experiences with this program and have found it useful? Would there be any negative affect of us using this program with reference to my clients website? Many thanks for your help.

Anyone have experience with AdTaxi for link building services?
Recently a client of ours received a proposal from a local newspaper for search related services, including link building. I believe the name of the company the paper is working with for some of these services is AdTaxi, which i had not heard of before. Anyone have experience with these guys from a link building standpoint? I know that here we are more "do it yourselfers" and for the most part, we handle all of the on-page and technical SEO for our client's sites, but link building as a dedicated service isn't something we have the resources to offer so I'm just looking to do some research. Thank you! -William

How do you use anchor text post Penguin?
I have a client with several businesses within the same industry - Each of these businesses have their own websites. So, I have a few questions with this in mnd: **When using anchor text (exact keyword phrases) on his website pages, how many links are safe to use per page? And if I want to interlink between his businesses, is it better to use exact keyword phrases to link or just a straight URL link for those other businesses? **When guest blogging or using an external blog of our creation, is it best to use exact keyword phrases (and how many) or URL links? I want to make sure I am not over linking - help? thanks a lot
