Zemanta for Links and Traffic

[SEO5Team]

Has anyone used Zemanta for their clients. Would appreciate feedback on their service. What got our attention was the sales guy using Rand's testimonial below in their email signature.

_"I'm not just a fan, I'm a believer — Zemanta is a remarkable way to build great links." _
Rand Fishkin — CEO of Moz

An interesting thing that few have been saying is that Google approves of their service as white hat, with no direct source of the quote.

From my experience their choice of linking options is limited to me. Manual linking works better for me.

Hope this helps

Ive used them, but it's pretty limited. Nothing beats a personally curated list of sources to link to.

Hi Dennis,

What was your cost per link acquisition when you used them? Did the links generate any traffic?

Cheers,
