* Catch Up & Quick Links

Another beautiful day here in the UK
I hope you’re well and that you’re progressing in every area you’re trying to
I know it can be frustrating at time, I’m exploring areas outside of my comfort zone and I’ve got to admit it’s wearing me out! – But I do have the benefit of knowing it WILL produce results for me based on past experience. So I would hope to encourage you to keep on keeping on because it can and will work for you too if you do….
Trust me when I tell you I know it will – because I’m probably less of a computer person than most, rubbish at techy stuff, and my attention span gets smaller and smaller these days!

Anyway, today’s email has my review of the SEOLinkVine product I’ve been testing, and a Great new freebie Pete and I are ‘putting out there’, So as usual… take a look and if you think there’s something that will help you, feel free to have a clicky
Just before I get into the main content – I did want to repeat a couple of links in case you missed them or were on the fence:

Tony Shepherd Tribe Profits that will give you a blueprint to building a list and getting you establish in making a monthly income – Highly recommended:

(Oh and as a quick thought – the other product I mentioned of Tony’s a few weeks back has a price increase on the 30th, so if you wanted a product I thought was cool and very beginner orientated check out BlogFlipz here:

Peggy’s Maximize PLR course (This is still discounted for another few days),
http://randysmith.co.uk/Discounted/MaxiPLR

And let’s not forget another mention of the Bristol Event here in the UK, I’m sure you’ve now had a few emails about it, there are so many great people going I’m getting very excited myself at the thought of a fantastic get together, as well as the chance to hear from some cool speakers
http://randysmith.co.uk/IsGoingTo/BristolWorkshop

You can read more details about both on my blog in the post below this one.  So let’s move on (as Rachel has just rung and wants a lift to the beauty shop – not that she needs to go… but who can ever understand women, & I’m not about to argue with one…lol)

* SEO Link Vine Full Review For Launch

OK – I’m back…. bet you didn’t even notice I’ve been gone an hour…lol
Rachel had her eyebrows done..hehe, I do have to admit they look nicer after
Anyway, back to the review or I’ll never get this sent and I’m already late for the launch…
http://randysmith.co.uk/Loves/SEOLinkVine

If you’ve read my last few emails, You’ll know I’ve had access to SEO Link Vine for a couple of weeks now. Initially, I wasn’t sure whether to try it out or not, because I was concerned that it would be too techy for me to follow… Many of these supposed automated products usually lose me!

So straight away I want to give a big thumbs up to Brad for the videos in the members area!
There are very easy to follow videos in the basic training area that show both sides of the membership:

*How to submit articles and build backlinks,
*How to use Article Spinning,
*How to add your sites to Get content,
*& How to Check Your Ranking and Stats.

I have to say quite honestly – watching the videos first was a great help!
I think I would have just about managed the side of using the sinner and submitting articles without the video – But I would have missed a couple of great opportunity’s to increase how many articles get published.

On the Get Content side I would seriously not have known what to do without the video.
But as mentioned – Both were easy after watching the videos!
OK – positive start, but we also want to know if it does it’s job once we’ve invested in it… and If & Why it’s worth taking a serious look at
As mentioned – there are two sides to the service, getting content and getting backlinks, so I’ll deal with each separately:

Getting Content:

Obviously with it just being launched there wouldn’t be as many people submitting content as there will be after launch…. But, Brad did release a beta version to get the systems going – so there are already people using it (and some I’ve noticed to great effect)

I could have taken Brad’s suggestion to me to get an outsourcer to aggressively use it, and I know my results would have impressed you. But I wanted to give an honest view of just me and my technophobic use of it. Therefore my results might not impress – but they show what someone who’s scared of techy stuff can do with just a few visits in a couple of weeks

I added a site that I don’t promote (mainly cos it’s no where near finished), I built the site around a month ago and didn’t get past adding 5 posts myself.
I also decided not to use the auto post function, as I wanted to check the quality of the content that was to be added.

You would have either option yourself – so I suppose it would depend on whether the site you wanted populated was just an adsense type site, where you didn’t really care about the content, or whether it was a site you wanted to interact with the visitors and ensure the content was top notch??

Also – you could add as many sites as you wanted, but I just added one for testing!
The other thing I did wrong was to limit the content to one specific niche and keyword! – That was a mistake I think, as I could have had so many more articles submitted for my approval if I’d used multiple keywords and a broader subject.
Nevertheless – I had 21 articles submitted for my approval.

So that could have been an extra 21 on my site!
That said – because I chose to manually approve them I rejected 18 of them and only approved 3.
They were good quality and after clicking approve they were instantly added to my site…. easy peasy

Take Note:
When you submit your own articles… be sure to read them and make sure they are good for human reading or people like me that do check them will reject them! – I do wish I’d chosen more terms to accept articles for, but I’m glad I chose to check them rather than automatically approve them!

Either way – I can see this being a great method of getting content for my sites if I build more automated sites in more niches that I really don’t want to spend a lot of time updating.
So a good thumbs up on the getting content

Getting Backlinks:

The other side of the service is getting those all important backlinks to rank your sites higher in the search engines.
This is achieved by adding articles of your own which can include 3 keywords/phrases that link back to your sites.
Once again you can add as many sites as you want and set campaigns for each, but I chose to just add one initially for testing.
And being honest – I wish I’d popped in daily to add another articles on a daily basis, but I didn’t!

In total I only found time to add 3 articles.
But what I did do was follow the simple instructions on the videos and make sure I used the spinner to make each article had so many variations that I got a massive acceptance rate!

Take Note: - I really would advise using the spinner and adding the variations. It does take some time and that part I would love to outsource long term, but for this review I did it all myself. Each article took me around 45 minutes to an hour to spin because I really wanted to make sure it was perfectly readable by a human. There is a built in button to spin automatically, but it didn’t seem to offer as many variations as I knew would be possible if I did it myself.

The results of me ensuring a quality article for each of the 3 I submitted are as follows:
They were submitted to 174 sites, 89 or which have yet to log in and approve or decline them, (again I blame this on the service not yet being launched)

Of the 85 that have been seen only 6 rejected them (oh – bear in mind the articles I used were PLR to start with, so I didn’t have to create them… just spin them)
So that lead to those 3 articles being spun and getting published on 67 sites (12 are approved but not yet published)
67 sites out there now contain an article containing 3 backlinks that lead to one of my sites
Quite honestly I’m thrilled with the results!

Conclusion:

My overall experience was very positive and it does work as it says it will!

I have to admit that as a paid service I feel it should be used far more than I have done, so it’s something I need to fit into my daily to do lists in future.
It’s definitely one I will add to my to do list, and I suspect I’ll pass it over to an outsourcer eventually as I’m currently interviewing, or rather a friend is to short list applications for me to consider (cheers Kathy).

My overall opinion – If you want backlinks or content.. check it out:
http://randysmith.co.uk/Loves/SEOLinkVine

Just be sure to take note of the points above where I added a take note paragraph. If you do I’m sure you’d be happy with using SEO Link Vine.
Go and take a look for yourself, and see if there are still some bonuses to be had, as I know Brad was some cool stuff to tempt people to try it.
If it’s not for you right now – I genuinely believe it will be an evergreen service even after launch, so don’t feel pressured

And thanks for bearing with me as I tried to give my views about it.
I was going to paste some sales copy here – but I think I’m rambled on about it enough for today…lol
Make your own mind up – but please do check the site to see what more professional people than me have done with it:

Wow – that seemed a long review, so I think I’ll keep this one brief

Pete and I have just finished another series of products that start with a freebie that should help many people:
