Updates to the Dashboard

Monday, July 5th, 2010

The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed some slight changes to your campaigns column of the Dashboard recently. We now show you how many pages and sites you have rejected on each campaign. In addition to that, we’ve also added a button that lets you reset the rejection history per campaign. This is great for those who are not finding link partners due to having rejected many pages previously.

To make room for this new information, we have removed the old label that showed the campaign’s budget and integrated it into the main label that shows the amount of Link Credit spent on the campaign. We think this makes more sense, and should be easy to understand.

Here’s a screenshot of the new layout:

As usual, we appreciate and welcome your feedback!

Edit:We’ve disabled this feature temporarily, as power users were sometimes getting slow load times on their dashboard. We are investigating. :)

Is manual link exchange a dying trend?

Monday, April 12th, 2010

The idea for Automatic Backlinks was born out of frustration trying to manually find link partners.

At the time we were working for a client trying to get their site ranked for particular keywords. Even though we were outsourcing the work to India it was painfully slow and painfully obvious that the effort put in was nowhere worth the reward: a reciprocal PageRank 0 link inside someone’s link directory.

The problems with manual link exchange are manifold:

  • Reciprocal links are largely ignored by Google (which results in some people resorting to complicated 3 way link schemes)
  • You need to monitor that your link partner keeps his end of the bargain
  • You almost have to resort to spam in order to find link partners
  • It is extremely time consuming
  • 99% of all links are PageRank 0 and often considered bad link neighbourhoods

These problems sparked the idea for Automatic Backlinks which solves all of these issues and it seems that Web Masters are realising this as well.

A quick comparison on Google trends shows that searches for “link exchange” are in decline and that searches for “backlinks” are increasing. In fact “backlinks” is now searched for more than “link exchange”. I believe the decline for “link exchange” shows that Web Masters and SEO professionals are realising that traditional manual link exchange simply does not work, but people realise that they need to get “backlinks” somehow if they want to rank so they are now searching for that instead.

We of course welcome this change as we provide what we believe to be the best platform for getting relevant, quality backlinks – all 100% free and automatic. We only provide PageRank 1 or above backlinks so you know that there will be no bad link neighbourhoods. Should you lose a backlink because someone shuts down their site – we will provide you with a different link from one of our more than 10,000 websites automatically.

It is no wonder manual link exchange is a dying trend.

Drupal Module Updated

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

The Drupal module has been updated from 2.3 to 2.4. It now relies more on Drupal’s built-in methods to determine which page is being displayed, whereas before it used the same function from our standard PHP 4+ code. If you are using the Drupal module and for any reason were previously having pages with their URL’s reported incorrectly we recommend you update to the latest version.

Unlimited Free Links and New Alias Feature

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

The phrase “high quality” can seldom be used to describe automated SEO techniques, which is why we put so much time and effort into making sure that Automatic Backlinks is an exception. Before we started with Automatic Backlinks, the options available to us were either spending hours manually finding people to exchange high quality links with or submitting pages to link directories with little impact on SEO and few human visitors, and usually full of low quality or inappropriate links you may not wish to be associated with.

This is why we concentrated on making a solution focused on time saving and high quality and as from today we are opening up the opportunity for all our users — both free and paying members — to earn unlimited Link Credit from their pages with no minimum subscription amount (replacing the previous limit of 100LC for free members with the ability to unlock by purchasing a minimum subscription of 10LC).

This will lead to those users with many or high value pages being able to add all of them to the system, resulting in more possible places for links to be placed and thus you’ll be more likely to find the perfect link for your site, especially if you are operating in a niche topic or need a link in a less commonly used language.

We have also added a new Alias feature, which detects duplicate content on sites (for example if http://www.example.com/ has the same content as http://example.com/). The system now detects if two host names should be treated as the same and does so accordingly, notifying the owner of the site of its findings so that they can redirect the sites appropriately if necessary to avoid duplicate content penalties. This also means that all the links on the main site will also be displayed on the aliases so that if you previously had your link placed on http://www.example.com/index.html as well as on http://alias.example.com/index.html, your link on alias.example.com will be “refunded” to your Link Credit balance so that it can be placed on another site. This feature is currently enabled, but will take a while to detect all the aliased sites so please be patient whilst we update all the pages.

Affiliate Program launched!

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

For a long time we’ve been receiving emails from active members who asked when we were going to create an affiliate scheme they could join. Well, we answered the call, and today we are launching the Automatic Backlinks Affiliate Program.

Ease of use was an important factor for us, so we decided to use the excellent Post Affiliate Pro software. As an affiliate, it gives you complete control and is as feature complete as it gets! Anyway, on to the important stuff…

As an affiliate, we’re offering you a whopping 20% recurring commission on every subscription your referred visitors take out. We have a very high conversion rate, and our average subscription is $46/month. Put another way, if you were sending us around 1000 visitors per month, you’d likely be earning more then $400/month after around a year. What’s more, our affiliate links never expire, so you still get commission no matter how long ago the visitor clicked on your link.

More details and info can be found here and for those who are eager to sign up already, here’s the registration page. It’s quick, easy and of course free.
