        Still don't really get how this would work as Google also just will see 1 link every time but they tell you that it's targeting more pages. I would never use such services as most of them already have been banned by Google in the last years and they will remain to do so.

          Predictable bit first: This is a paid link scheme. It's against Google quality guidelines and if you get caught you'll likely get the site buried.. yadda yadda yadda. Right - that out the way.  Assumming that there is a benefit from the scheme and that this outweighed any risk involved, would there be a benefit to rotating the anchor text?

          I can't see any benefit at all in that for SEO. As Martijn says only one version of the link would be seen at a time, so the targeting would just change.  It would also serve up the biggest red flag of a footprint ever - making it really easy to spot such links.

          It doesn't even sound logical to me.

          Edit: Ah - I've just been and read their website.  The idea is more about rotating the URLs than the anchors.  I can see the logic there as it would help those URLs get crawled.  More about pointing the crawlers at URLs you want indexing than pushing link weight.

          I get the logic, but if the idea is to get your own URLs indexed then there are easier and less risky ways : Do something similar on your own home page for instance.  That'd get them indexed without going down the paid link route.

          One use that is a bit "old school" (and spammy) might be to get backlinks indexed.  Imagine that you had built a load of crumby links and they were not getting indexed (forum profiles, comments on old blog posts etc etc). Put them in a tool like that and it might get them indexed.  Of course it would mean that you are putting the sites that link to you at risk of paid link penalty, but it you were going down a route of junk links to support a site then that probably wouldn't be top of your link of concerns.

          I do understand that there is a market for such things - however this is definitely in to greyer areas of SEO.  I think that people need to make their own calls about where on the link building spectrum they are, but I definitely wouldn't consider using anything that is effectively buying links unless you really understand the risks and implications.

            I agree with Martijin and Mat

            It's jsut a scheme to sell the tool more, and nothing more than that. I wouldn't use the tool as it goes against the Guidelines
