Link pipeline software

Has anyone used the link building software - www.linkpipeline.com ? Any feedback would be much appreciated

Automated link building? I think you'll find the majority here would advise against any such software, that kind of thing can do more harm than good.

I personally prefer to have links to my site on pages that Google already knows about, not pages where I need to pay someone to create a ton of automated links so those links get noticed.

There are forums that may speak highly of this software, but SEOmoz isn't going to be one of those forums, it's just not in our philosophy. For more information on the viewpoint of many of the people around here, check out the beginner's guide to SEO and the chapter on building links at http://www.seomoz.org/beginners-guide-to-seo/growing-popularity-and-links

Keri,

OMG!! That advice is awful. I feel bad for the new people here and apologize for the bluntness.

Some of the best links are from non profits, EDUs and other large sites that dont necessarily index well.

Non profits and EDUs typically dont pay much attention to SEO but their links are authoratitive. Non profits typically dont have site maps and each department is their own fiefdom. Usually no cross linking between them and each department usually has their own surface links (primary/navigational links).

Additionally, Google is extremely good about indexing news sites as soon as they publish and checking for changes for a day or two but generally wont check again.

As someone else here says, this can do more harm than good.

Indexing links is sometimes necessary but there are other methods. This software builds links to your links. May be more than you generally need and leaves a foot print.
