Linx Boss Link Building Service

I’m always looking for new ways to build links, especially ways that don’t take as much effort as my #1 method for the past couple of years (article marketing.)

Unfortunately most of the services I have tried out have been duds. But after reading some pretty great reviews for Linx Boss, I’ve decided to give it a go. And as you would probably expect if you’ve read this blog before, I plan on testing the service and posting my results here.

What Linx Boss Offers

For $147/month they build links for up to five different domains in a “hands free” sort of way. It’s a “set it and forget it” type of system and that’s really why it appeals to me because as effective as I find services like Unique Article Wizard, Article Marketing Automation, and ArticleRanks to be (and I very strongly recommend them) I do find the whole article marketing process a bit tedious and I’ve never been able to successfully outsource it at a price I’m willing to pay. Basically I want to build more links without having to spend more time on building those links and I’m hoping Linx Boss does this for me.

The Details

They claim to build 1000 unique anchor text links each month spread out over the five domains that are put in the system (200 for each domain.) You can use four different anchor texts for each target (this helps your incoming links look more “natural” to the search engines and can also help you to target multiple keyword phrases for the same page.)

Each domain can have an unlimited amount of pages added so you can do deep linking. You could have your 200 links for your domain spread out over 200 different pages (1 link per domain per month.) Of course you wouldn’t want to spread your links that thin, but you could.

L4L

As a part of the LinxBoss system (at no additional cost) they also build links for your other links (“links 4 links”) that you’ve built up in the past (or that you build now.) This is really a powerful addition and not something I even realized was a part of the system when I joined. Pretty cool.

Tracking

Another part of the Linx Boss service is their Tracking system which is pretty darn sweet. It tracks your ranks in both Google and Yahoo/Bing for all of the keywords that you target. It also tells you important information about those keywords: competition level, monthly search volume, and how much people are willing to spend on buying clicks through AdWords (which gives you a very good idea of how profitable this keyword can be.)

My Results?

You can follow my results with this system in the comments below. I’ll be adding comments on my results as they come in.

My Five Domains

These are the sites I’m putting into the system to test LinxBoss.com (and to hopefully get some money making results!) I’m including their current basic “stats” so  you can see where I started from (I’ll be including updates on how it’s going in the comments.)

Domain #1

This website is in the travel niche. It currently has a PageRank of 1 and 166 incoming external links (according to Yahoo Site Explorer.) For it’s primary keyword target it has a ranking of #27 in Yahoo/Bing and it’s not in the top 100 in Google. The domain was registered in 2006 so it’s been a sort of “back burner” project. I have a lot of these; Domains with not much going on that I figure I will eventually get to doing something with! The search engines tend to like older domains and they are pretty cheap to keep around.

Domain #2

This one is in the celebrity news niche. It has a PageRank of 3 and 4,851 external links. It’s #8 in Yahoo and #10 in Google for it’s primary target. It was registered in 2007.

Domain #3

This website is in the health niche. It has a PageRank of 2 and 1,085 external links. It’s #46 in Google for its primary KW target, not in the top 100 in Yahoo. It was registered in 2006.

Domain #4

Entertainment niche. PageRank of 0 (but it is indexed in Google) and 379 external links. It’s #6 in Yahoo for it’s primary KW target and not in top 100 in Google. Registered in January of 2008.

Domain #5

For my 5th domain I am going to use EZineArticles.com – here I’m going to be trying to get higher rankings (and the resultant traffic) for some of my EZA articles. I’m going to be splitting my 200 links here between four different EZA articles (That’s 50 for each.)

EZA #1 — Health niche. Currently ranked #17 on Google and #27 on Yahoo for it’s primary long tail target keyword. Not in top 100 for the dream shorter tail KW.

EZA #2 — Entertainment niche. #11 on Google and unranked on Yahoo for it’s primary long tail target keyword.

EZA #3 — Home/DIY niche. Unranked for it’s primary KW.

EZA #4 — Fitness niche. Currently ranked #11 on Yahoo and #13 on Google for it’s target.
