Linkvana is the grandfather of the link building/article submission services available today. It was developed in 2007 by SEO master David Kelly, who has been very active in internet marketing since the mid-90s. Kelly has also developed Market Samurai, Ultimate Search Engine Loophole as well as the Authority Loophole, so his credentials are impressive. Linkvana creates one-way links coming to its members websites from a large network of aged, PR2 to PR5 blogs that are owned by the company.
Getting backlinks is crucial to success in internet marketing. Links can be created by inbound links from blogs, inbound links from authority web-sites, inbound links from web 2.0 sites, one-way links from forums, backlinks from software directories, as well as creating backlinks from articles marketing. Although this strategy is effective, it obvious;y time consuming and labor intensive. David Kelly was one of the first SEO experts to find a solution to this problem and that's how the Linkvana service was created.
Linkvana is a large network of thousands of diverse blogs. Members of the service write short,100 to150 word blog posts which link back to the website or page they want to promote. These posts are approved by humans before being released into the network. This ensures that only quality content gets circulated. Linkvana also offers its members a in-house writing service for a fee, if they would rather have someone else write the posts for them. All of the blogs in the network are older domains with respectable page rank. Domain age and page rank are factors that lends credibility to your site in the eyes of the search engine's.
When Linkvana members create a blog post they can insert a link back to their website within this post. This link, also called an "anchor text", will ultimately be followed by the search engine spiders when they visit those blog sites. These anchor text can be placed in the body of the post, and not just at the end of the post in the resource box. This is a significant advantage that Linkvana has over other blog networks. The Linkvana system also effectively links its members keyword focused posts to others sites that are highly relevant to that keyword.
Linkvana is not an inexpensive service, as its monthly memberships cost is $147. It does provide quite a bit of value as the service is effective at creating backings, increasing page rank and driving traffic to its members websites. The service creates value by the fact that is effective.
The word on the street is that Linvana does what it says it will do by helping its members create quality backlinks and reducing their workload. Some believe that because of its price that people with multiple sites will be better served, to better spread the cost around. The bottom line is that members like size of the network, with thousands of aged, PR2 to PR5 sites. Members like the ability to place anchor text inside the body of their posts. Members also like the fact that posts are approved by humans, which positively impacts the quality of the posts being distributed throughout the network. Many justify Linkvana's price tag because of its overall effectiveness.
