Is there any tool that can automatically generate backlinks for my website?
-
Hi
I need a tool or some kind of service like attracta for backlinks. I need backlinks from high page rank directories blogs etc. Please help me out from where I can purchase backlinks?

Yeah there are many, But it's highly recommended not to use them if you care about quality links and ranking.

If there are automated tools that submit every site that asks to directories, the directories are going to be worthless when it comes to actual users. The search engines know this, and it won't do your sie any good, and quite possibly could harm your site.

If you want to outsource, delegate or abdicate link building (don't worry we all secretly want to have nothing to do with it because it's hard) then hire a PR. That's going to get you MILES further than any of this stuff. That's what we did and now we've been featured in the news all over the place and on tons of really high quality sites.
Linkbuilding is now synonymous with PR. It's not done from basements and dark rooms at 4am and you can't do it with shady tools. If you want a tool then use an outreach tool to automate your relationship building with the sites you want to feature on. Or just hire someone to 'do PR' not to 'build links' because the people i've hired to 'build links' have been using as much black and grey as white hat techniques. Everyone wants to cheat and if you do then you are fighting against Google. Or here in the UK we say 'biting the hand that feeds you'.
If you can get a good relationship with one of these link-building specialist agencies and have the confidence and insight to know when they've sold you a pup - and ask them to fix it for free - then you can get somewhere. But its expensive andeasier just to set a strategy, hire someone and execute.

NOT is the answer.
Directory submissions are the WORST way to spend your time and resources. They just don't work. And I'm not being 'holier than thou' because I actually tried them out last year (because I test everything and have a fairly small site so thought it might work) but it didn't. There was no benefit and the directories I used were all paid with links to internal pages. It took me a couple of days (+ about $500) and after a month I ended up having to disavow most of them and then the others kicked me off after 6 months wanting more money! It's a total joke. Run by total jokers.
Even automating it is a very bad waste of time. **If you're a local business and are actually talking about 'citations' then that's a different thing altogether. ** But directories died years ago. Many of them aren't even in the index or google has algorithmically discounted them because they have literally too many links spread too thinly so each link carries a tiny proportion of juice. And the ones that are in the index come back with very high toxic score in SEM Rush and AHrefs with the exception of one called Joe Ant. That one is showing green lights. So I didn'd disavow but i've not seen one single referral from them.
I also noticed an ENORMOUS increase in spam following my little test. I get hundreds of submissions to my forms and site and even people calling. I've also seen a significant increase in strange black-hat links added to my list. This is not 'negative seo' but the scrapers and black hat people crawl the directories to find people still dumb enough to pay them (like me!!!) and see them as easy targets for other dreadful SEO products.
Avoid. Avoid. Avoid.

There are many tools that do this. However, I would suggest staying away from them. Spend that money on create valuable content for the users. There will be a better long-term roi and the risk of getting a algorithmic or manual action taken against your site is greatly minimized. Good luck!

Article Backlinks To Product Pages
I am writing a number of 500 word articles and have read that Top 10 lists are becoming more and more popular on the web. So my thoughts are to write an article about the the 'Top 10 Mens Grooming Products 2013' for example. My questions is - do I post this article on my own website with the 10 links to the product pages using the product name as 'anchor text', or post the article to somewhere like Squidoo containing the links to my product pages. Which strategy has more SEO value?

Link Building with Widdgets and Tools
Hi, We run a affiliate program and as part of that program we offer free tools that our affiliates can take in order to help them promote our product. We have also used these tools as a link building method as we provide highly useful information. We have seen on Google Link Schemes page (http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66356) the following part which we believe has only just been added: Links embedded in widgets that are distributed across various sites, for example: Visitors to this page: 1,472

car insurance Our tool basically consists of a link of JavaScript with a link outside of the tool as per the following example: this super widget was provided by <a>mydomain.com</a> We are now concerned that a link building process that we have used for many years is now considered to be gaming Google. We also do something similar with badges that we give out to approved suppliers. These would look something like the following: Approved Supplier http://mydomain.co.uk/ Any recommendations on whether or not the style we are using would now be considered as wrong to Google, even though they add value to our partners sites. Thanks for any help in advance.0 -
