Neurolinker – My honest review
Written by Brian Petersen on March 21st, 2010Neurolinker seemed to be a very interesting tool in order to promote my websites, and after reading a lot about it in different forums I decided to give it a try.
Neurolinker cost $47 a month, and for that money you gain access to their network – and the state at their website that they have more than 5700 sites in their network.
The way it works is that you submit your website URLS (op to 100!) to their system, and each site must be indexed in Google before it can obtain approval.
After that you get a piece of code (works with word press as well!) and you can then choose if you want links from a lot of sites or only from sites in the category where you submitted your site – COOL!
I joined the system and submitted a PR2 site running WordPress, and after 30 hours the site was approved and I got my site code and installed it.
The idea is to obtain links without reciprocal linking, so it looks like you site get a lot of back links from different relevant partner sites from different IP´s – sweet!
Neurolinker and social bookmarking:
The member can also submit other members sites to Social bookmark sites like Stumbkeupon and Delicious – bases on the terms you submit my site and I submit yours. Also a nice idea because you could get a lot of soscial bookmarks. You can allso Digg stories and bookmark to Sqidoo.
All the member sites is on a list, and once you have submitted a site, you click 2 buttons and state that the site is submitted and you move on to next site.
Even with a plugin in your browser it does take a while submitting sites – and the big question is how many of the other members who have time for this process so you would obtain bookmarks from them.
During this process I noticed that some links were not working or the domain was parked – each time you find one of those links you have to send a mail to Neurolinker support, so they can remove the site – weird, instead of just having a butoon that would take out the site from the que for an Admin review.
I was a bit surprised when my own sites also showed up on the list! you have to click on them too in order to remove them from you working list – each time you have submitted sites do that you obtain point in the system – so you obtain point for your own sites – not smart!
It is very annoying that you have to report toNeurolinker support when a site is down, waste of time both for you but also for other members that would have the same dead site showing up on their list too – and also would report it to the support!
Another thing I noticed is that more than 80% of the sites for Social bookmarking did not have any Google Pagerank – I did a check on some of the domains to see if they were new, but most of them were several years old.
That make me wonder what the value would be obtaining links from sites with no page rank… a questions I also send to their support – still no answer 4 days after…
Neurolinker and blogs:
In your membership you also gain access to 1WayBlogLinks.com
In this network you can submit your blog, and allow others to members to post articles in your blog, and you can post your articles to other blogs in order to get backl inks – those backl inks can be to your money sites where you make an income.
This can be cool feature to get content and back links – and you can approve articles other made. During my test of Neurolinker I did not got any articles, but perhaps if I waited longer…
Neurolinker and the use of of it.
After a couple of days I posted a comment in their forum, and came back next day – then I realized that there were hardly no activities – and most of the the comments was back from 2009.
Another thing I wondered about was that Neurolinker on their frontpage has a special offer for the “Serious web marketeer” - If you sign up for another linkbuilding network “Linkvana” you would get Neurolinker for free – Linkvana is almost 3 times as expensive as Neurolinker.
Neurolinker and my conclusion:
When it comes to linkbuilding I honestly don’t think that many of the sites in the network would give you much value – I was offered 100 links the first day, and most of the sites had a PR 0. Its not the amount of links it is the quality and the authority of the links you get.
Social bookmarking is working – if all members do their part, and same goes for Sqidoo and digging sites.
The idea by making content to other blogs and get back links is fine, and also to obtain fresh content by others.
I have just cancelled my subscription forNeurolinker, other users might get value from it but I prefer to use a full SEO tool like SENuke.
