Didn't actually say it, though I'm sure I illustrated it..... ALWAYS CHECK IF THE SITE IS INDEXED before you buy the link.
|
[/TD]I was liking it at first. Huge selection of sites, easy interface, easy balance filling, and very fast live links. However, I've just come across a huge fed flag.
I was relying on the linksmanagement to only offer me websites to buy links from that are INDEXED... I bought 2 links that were on pages that were not indexed! The sites themselves had pages indexed but the pages I bought my link on were NOT.
I made it a point to check each page and ensure there was content and it looked natural -- not a spammy link farm. I, however, did not check if the page was indexed. I assumed it was. Buying a link on a page that isn't indexed is no different than creating a web 2.0 with crap content and google not indexing it. It's worthless.
Fortunately... and this is why I haven't already closed my account with them... I was allowed to delete the link and get a refund because it was within the 5 day period. SO, that is a good thing as well.
However, if some of these sites aren't indexed... could the DA and PA also need independent verification as well? I'm trusting that those numbers are correct.... I don't know if they are though and that is a bit scary to me.
I will continue using linksmanagement for the time being and will report back my findings.
I don’t recommend using linksmanagement.com. There are some reasons from my real experience:
1. You can check that most of the sites from the huge inventory of linksmanagement.com are really weak with low Citation and Trust MJ. Alexa traffic rank is terrible and some of the sites have high spam scores. But all these factors you can check before you purchase. Just checks all the sites carefully.
2. PR is used to discover sites. Google removed PageRank many years ago…. this metric is not updated any more.
3. Most of the good links are expansive, and so it is risky to buy them. Read the reasons below!
4. If you are going to buy permanent links, keep in mind that after 6 months your link can be deleted and you will be able to do nothing. Read the conditions carefully:
“we guarantee that all your backlinks, acquired as permanent links will stay alive during minimum 6 months. Once this period is over, LinksManagement will NOT remove your links. Publishers are notified that these text links are permanent and that they should stay alive forever. That’s why these links stay alive for many, many years.
Source: https://www.linksmanagement.com/permanent-links/”
In my case, most of the bought permanent links were deleted by publishers and the answer of linksmanagement was “All of the mentioned backlinks were bought more than 6 months ago.” That’s all! - So after 6 months your link can be deleted and you will be able to do nothing!!!!!!
5. All my deleted links were indicated as active in my account. I found them deleted by checking each site manually. I have no idea when they were deleted, because I trusted monitoring service. May be it was several months ago and it was possible to have money back.
So, don’t trust this:
“The presence of each active backlink on each webpage is automatically checked by LinksManagement every 24 hours. If any link is not found on the backlink page, the publisher will be immediately notified about this with a request to recover your backlink.
Source: https://www.linksmanagement.com/faq/?_ga=1.103910535.620197603.1465831039”
The monitoring system does not work properly. If you decide to buy links, be ready to check all the sites by yourself.
As you know the older a backlink is, the stronger and more valuable it is for Google. Be sure that most of the publishers will delete your backlinks and linksmanagement.com has no responsibility at all after the end of this period.
Save your money and use other methods for SEO! Buying links is the past!
Dear Enigmaenigma,
We appreciate your feedback.
Company takes several steps to improve system .
However, we see that there are still a lot of things that we need to improve.
To find more detailed information on backlinks we recommend all our clients to use filters Advanced and Special. Using these filters, you may choose DA, PA, OBL and even more useful parameters.
Page Rank is already dead. Google has not updated it for several years; therefore,
it is no longer displayed. However, it continues to operate as always.
Due to its irrelevance, we have developed our own evaluating system – SB Rank.
As it was created when PR existed, we could compare it with Google PR.
We found that in 90% of cases SB Rank matches with PageRank, so it can be considered as a full replacement for Google PR.
Moreover, it is impossible to cheat SB Rank as it was possible with PageRank.
In the future, we also plan to complicate the SB Rank formula, adding more indexes, such as Majestic Flow, so our customers can select the most relevant pages for backlinks more easily.
We will review the situation, which occurred on your account.
Please send us in PM your email used for registration and backlinks ID
that were deleted before 6 month period .

Dear Steve! Thank you for your answer. My request with all the details is in the LinksManagement support team!

bad experience I do not advise anyone this site
Hello everyone!
My goal is to give only truthful information.
I wrote in the previous post:
“Also, now I have one more problem. I have checked all the sites and have found one with spam score 7. It is very bad. I canceled 2 links on 15 of June and the support team informed me: “Unfortunately, we haven't got the answers from website owners regarding backlinks”. They offered me to wait.”
All links I asked to delete were deleted. It took some time, but this was done!
Last I heard Matt Cutts was specifically targeting SAPE so the links were massively devalued or put you at risk of a manual penalty - that was quite a while ago though. Are you still getting results with them?Interface is terrible - it's hard to get the URL's out to analyse on mass.
Most are only good for tier 2, parasite etc.
Customer service is absolutely appalling.
Price compared to Sape is extortionate
Quality compared to Sape is just not comparable.
They say that only a small percentage of links are available to purchase directly and that the full inventory is only available if you let them place the links which is pretty shit.
Dependent on what you intend to use these links for - Sape is a million times better.

I've used Links Management for a while now and I'm getting good results but it's not as simple as they make out. You have to do a lot of sorting through crap sites and it's not guaranteed that your link will actually go live - I definitely wouldn't just let their experts choose the links without reviewing them myself, especially since there are some adults sites on there coming up under business services etc. I am looking around for alternatives but it's just so that I'm working across a number of different networks, not because I'm unhappy with the links themselves or the results I'm getting.
Yeah, like I said it was a while ago!Last I heard Matt Cutts doesn't even work for Google anymore?
I think Google did target Sape at one point as well as PBN's, Guest posting etc etc etc. You name it they have targeted it.
I don't use Sape direct to anything that matters - Tier 2, Parasite, Powering Up PBN's that have lost a bit of juice that kind of thing.
Fair play if you are getting good results from link management, I don't doubt there are decent links in the system, I just couldn't be bothered to find them.
With Sape you can extract 5000 URL's and get them through Majestic all in one go - you uncover some real good stuff that's dirt cheap.
I hate the customer service at links management - I asked them for something, they fed me a load of BS, finally agreed to a reasonable request and then failed to honour it - just my own personal experience.

I used them before,but I am not sure did my rankings improved because of this website or other links. Also they are very expensive,I had problems with them before,they are kind of scammers,so DO NOT buy from them
Yeah, like I said it was a while ago! Good to know about Sape, I kind of discounted it way back and didn't think about it again, but will probably take another look next week - Tier 2 definitely isn't worth LM pricing.
I've read the whole thread, but couldn't make a decision.
It seems, there are some issues with this service. From the other hand, LinkBuildingServices is an active member here.
I'm a bit confused...
