5000 Backlinks Review – cutting the graft out of the linkbuilding process

I recently purchased 5000 Backlinks by Lynn Terry and Paul Short and gave it a workout for a couple of weeks before outsourcing the work, so thought I’d share some of my key thoughts about it.

The product is simple; a list of 5,000 (or thereabouts) web properties where you can obtain a backlink, including but not limited to blog comments and forum posts. The list is categorised in several ways, for instance a list of dofollow blogs; PR8 backlinks; .edu domains.

Along with this list are some simple instructions consisting of Getting Started Guide (7 pages), Daily Actin Plan (1 page), Instant Indexing Guide (3 pages) and Link Building Power Tips (3 pages). The instructions are designed to be straightforward to implement, without the filler content found in so many Internet Marketing products and a key message is this is how to do it – now do it!

This is one of the biggest problems faced in Internet Marketing – there are hundreds of products and tens of thousands of internet marketers. However, owning products doesn’t equate to actually putting it into practice and that is one point really stressed by Lynn and Paul.

The product is suitable for Internet Marketers of all experience and has been designed to be easy to outsource – I’d advise you to go through it a few times like I did to get an idea of what it’s all about at first, but several days of spending a hour backlinking is a real chore.

Building backlinks is one of the core elements of any SEO campaign and essential to rank your pages for anything remotely competitive. However, finding pages to get links from is a real pain and I’ve never been very happy with the results of any of the SEO tools I’ve used when trying to find good backlink targets; 5000 Backlinks makes it easy to select a list and get to work, leaving comments that add to the conversation.

On the down side, Power Tips mentions getting 10-20 links each day spending an hour per day (although elsewhere it mentions 20 links in two hours) – I’ve tried the system for an hour per day over a two week period and there is no way I could get close to that. By the time you’ve trawled through sites until you find something that is a) remotely related to your niche and b) you can make a sensible, non-spammy comment the maximum I’ve managed is five links in an hour and often less.

That quibble aside, if you want to simplify your link building, whether you want to do it yourself or outsource, 5000 Backlinks is an invaluable and cost effective resource – after all five links in an hour is far better than none. While it is hard to get the number of links claimed in the instructions, it will certainly save you time and money by eliminating the need to go out and find those blogs and forums for yourself.

I definitely recommend it.
