As others have said building links using software sadly does more harm than good these days. If you are to do it, then I suggest you build some buffer websites like web 2 tumblrs etc and use the software to build links to them, and the web 2 buffer sites then link to your main money site. It's called tired link building and there's a lot of info online and on here about that.
The tier 1 buffer sites act as a protection layer from the low quality software built links so your money site isn't given a penalty.
There are lots of tools to build them like gsa, senuke, rankerx etc and there is also money robot that I believe gives a 1 week free trial, although it's very limited.
If you know how to use them properly and have good quality lists of sites to use them on, then they can be effective still today for helping to boost relevance and power of your tier 2 and 3 etc sites. There are some really good sellers on her that are very good at using these tools so I would recommend buying those, the good sellers may also help advise you on what to do to get the best results and protect that super valuable money site.
Good luck op, we have all started somewhere and this forum has been a gold mine of helpful people and great knowledge for many IMers new and seasoned as well as myself.
