LinkVana Sucks
Getting to know through some forum and then heard that one of the top SEO master I know was using its service, I went deep to know what it was all about. Price was quite significant to my pocket, $147 per month, so thorough consideration is really really important. Weeks of assessment and consideration led me to a decision to give it a try. $147 per month plus $2 per article has been dealt with my willingness to write the articles myself. It should be a significant saving, imagine if we post four articles per day at $2 each, we are talking about $240 per month on article only. Plus the monthly service subscription of $147 goes up easily to $387. Forget it!
My experience started from the feeling that the articles we post were not processed as quick as promised. Later when I tried to commission them the writing, I felt like posting worked significantly faster. My assumption was that they have to assess my articles manually before having them processed.
On results, I first tried to apply it to new websites. Those websites floated up on search engines of course, but not at a better pace than those without LinkVana. However I did not see any negative impact as well. I assumed that it took time for these new quality backlinks to affect the ranking. Thinking that the concept did make sense, I am not foreseeing a negative impact it cound ever result. So the worst I could think of was … no result.
Thing changes once I implemented it to websites with high search engine rankings. With intention to maintain position, I used it to a website which enjoyed top board of Google, not only the first page but first posotion. Immediate result was … disappear completely from the search result of that certain keyword. Few days later it came back to page 19th, and did not go up for at least a week until now. Another website I implemented to was a brand new site at the 3rd page for targeted keyword. With no other things have been done other than using LinkVana, it went down to 11th page.
So it is enough for now. I cancelled my PayPal subscription. The website told that the service is available for limited number of subscribers so if we terminate our subscription, we may loose the opportunity forever. But what a hell. Months after I subscribed, the service remains available for new subcription. If thing changes, i.e. the websites come back to even better position, I will regain my subscription. If at that time I could not regain my subscription … well, I will consider it as bad luck. What I have in mind now is that LinkVana sucks, and I am happy to getaway now than later.
