This page is an SEO Link Vine Review. Click below if you’re looking for:
SEO Link Vine is an article submission service and link building service created by internet marketer Brad Callen. He is the brother of Matt Callen who created a similar service called MyArticleNetwork. Both services will enable you to publish your articles on their respective blog networks, and blogs only (not on article directories or other types of websites).
Using a blog network is a way to syndicate your articles on many different blogs, building many quality backlinks to your site from many different I.P. addresses, unlike article directories. And blog networks DO work, and they actually work VERY well.
SEO Link Vine will allow you to quickly and easily submit unique variations of one original article to hundreds of niche-related blogs and get higher search engine rankings for your website.
How Does SEO Link Vine Work?
Once you sign up you can immediately submit an article. Here is what the article submission form looks like:
You can copy paste a spun article in text or html version. There is a built-in article spinner in case you do not have any. And the great thing about SEO Link Vine is that it supports nested spinning, so if you do 2 level spinning you will get all the benefits from your efforts in terms of uniqueness of your articles.
You can have up to 3 links per article, so this enables you to put in the same article links to your website and links to your other articles, your videos, or your web 2.0 content. You can also embed video, which is a plus because it enables you to build backlinks to your videos and also stand out from the crowd.
You then get to choose the categories for your article. This is a great feature because by choosing the right categories you make sure that your articles are published on relevant sites, which is very important for the search engines.
Then you set your publishing settings (start date, maximum blogs per day and total blogs you want your article to appear on), enter your tags, save the article. Then you can preview your article and fix any typo or links. Once you hit Publish your article will be queued and publication starts within a few hours.
You then have the possibility to check your stats:
And you can also check your rankings in Google, Yahoo and Bing for all your target keywords. This is done through an app that you download to your computer and that checks the rankings in real time.
What I Think Could Be Improved With SEO Link Vine
What could be improved is the network itself. And this is actually a biggie in 2011, and THE main problem of this network. SEO Link Vine was launched in 2010 and has not reached the critical size that would make it the best blog network in terms of the number of blogs in the network.
In 2010, sometimes your articles got posted super fast and you got great results in terms of rankings, and other times it was pretty slow. This is especially true if your niche was not in the internet marketing (and related) market. Now in 2011 the posting rate has been really terrible and you do no longer get the value for your investment.
My Recommendation for SEO Link Vine
SEO Link Vine is not just another blog network. I have had real results with this SEO article submission service in the past (2010). I really recommended SEO Link Vine to any serious marketer who wanted search engine rankings.
But the truth is that while it can still be good for diversification of I.P. addresses and link volume, I do no longer recommend it because of the low posting rate of articles. There are many better options on the market, especially ArticleRanks and MyArticleNetwork.

Very useful information , not all spin article indexed by Google , have to use fresh article for better result.
Yes you definitely need to use UNIQUE articles (meaning spun to a HIGH uniqueness), then I give you a tip: once your article has been indexed, or even if it has not been but you receive a pingback, build a link or two to this article. This will give it some Google love and help you in your SEO efforts.
And I recommend using ContentProfessor.com to spin the article initially, as their built in spinner sucks. CP is free, and online. Think of it as the best spinner online. You should probably write a review on it.
Thanks for your services because Article submissions is very important part of Offpage Optimization. With the help of unique and fresh Article we can improve our keyword ranking.
