Anyone use and like Brute force Evo 2

What exactly does it do and does anyone know someone who got in trouble using it?
With linkvana and bookmarking demon and manually posting to blogs would anyone need this/

Hey Joe, I have read a bunch of your questions today and let me tell you, currently, you are in a bad place SEO wise. Steve, myself and many others have given you great, informative answers yet you cast them aside, and their efforts aside as it is not what you want to hear.
You are looking for the 'secret of SEO link building' or the 'SEO Tool that allows you dominate the first page of google!!!!!!' - in essence, you are not looking to do things the right way, you are looking for spam tools to cheat your way to the top.
Steve said it above and I have said it in another of your threads but you are not alone, many of us start out there, in the place that you are in at the moment. Looking for the easy fix, the easy win, the trick, secret or tool that will let you get to the top and you know what, long term, you are wasting your time (and ours a little).
The longer you are in this game, the more white hat you become. Are you looking to do some anchor text link spam to promote some burner domains or are you looking to cheat? If you have a real business, with a future, then stop looking for these easy answers as they simply don't exist.
Sure, there are strategies, and easy wins, but if your whole approach is to spend time looking for low value links then buddy, you are just wasting your own time and everyone here will tell you the same thing.
No one here is going to give you success stories about such a tool as everyone here is working their asses off to do things the right way and that involves a whole lot of graft, hard work and patience.
Joe - if I can give you any advice it would be to stop looking at these tools, set realistic goals and maybe start reading the link building posts on this site. There are tons of solid strategies and approaches and none of these will be a waste of your time, money or effort and certainly none of them will end up with you having to burn the site and move onto a new domain.
Sorry if this comes off a bit harsh buddy, think of it as tough love from someone who has been burnt before.
Cheers

Creativity. It's as simple as that.
Let's see if we can get something going here. Tell about your website you want to rank for, what do you do, and what are you passionate about in that work?

I appreciate your concern. Very few links are deserved in my opinion, but these discussions are helping me to sought what to do. I realized earlier that even a good product like Linkvana can be frowned on by Google because it has it's own network. Better to get links from independent sites. I won't use Linkvana or other network type link software for my main site.
i can see doing articles and blogging etc. get links my competitors have ,but something has to have more pull for rankings.
-
Sorry, perhaps I didn't explain myself very well there.
What I'm trying to say is that it's not the software that is the problem here, it's the frame of mind. The mindset of getting undeserved links instead of deserved links. The deserved links will provide much more success and for a lot longer, so the best thing to do is not go after undeserved links but create great stuff and promote it to get deserved links.
-
Though I appreciate your input on my questions, and certainly don't want to discourage you from answering again, I don't relate very well to analogies.
I trust my ability to sort through facts. I don't think you understand what linkvana does. If the proper objectives are met, than any programs to help get you there are good in my opinion. If it's a violation of Google's policies , then it's not o.k.
Using software to automate a process that is normally manual should be o.k. Now if the result results in stuff that 1. Either hurts your site rankings or 2. Is in violation of Google's policies. Then It's not good.
So does anyone know if anything Linkvana does is in violation of any of Google's policies? Because it sure makes a good addition for getting contextual links.

It is a little different yes, but it's still something to be avoided as it follows the whole wrong concept of what SEO is.
Imagine this...
There are two people who make kids toys. One wears a white hat, and one wears a black hat.
The white hat guy hand makes lots of stuff but one of them is a beautiful dolls house out of wood, with furniture inside, lots of detail, loads of decorations, etc...
The black hat guy sits on a factory over a conveyor belt just churning out replica plastic, tacky junk.
The black hat guy will sell a few of his junk but soon enough it stops selling on the basis that it's cheap tat.
The white hat guys doll house, along with many other of his creations is picking up in pace... it's value has gone up instead of down. It's attracting attention from media outlets, having photo shoots, and will one day be considered an antique of high value due to it's individual and original craftsmanship. Because the dolls house is so amazing it's attracted attention to his other creations too, people are noticing and buying other things of his now.
The black hat guy is still trying to find his next product that will sell. He's tried a few different ones now but they all work out the same as the last, their low quality just doesn't get them anywhere. He may find another temporary fix but that won't last long and he'll just be searching again and wasting time over more that don't last soon enough.
So there you have it, my little analogy Which guy would you rather be?
Linkvana is not something the white hat guy would use.
A little tip for future reference too, try to avoid typing in all capital letters. I'm sure it was accidental but some people consider it as shouting in forums, etc... so it won't help with getting questions answered

Well said!

Joe, trust me on this... I used to be on the dark side before I knew better. It was all about the software, from Xrumer and Scrapebox, to Linkvine and everything else you can find out there... people are right when they say it leads to no good. Yes it can provide some short term success but it's extremely volatile and it's nowhere near the success you'll get if you're patient and you do it properly. It's like living life on the edge so to speak, but with all of your time and efforts, and it can (and will) quickly come crumbling down, followed by complaints and a realization that you've not really been doing SEO at all, you've been spamming. There's no creativity involved, no quality, no pride of work or achievements, just rankings that shoot up then disappear and the constant unnerving feeling that you're always waiting for the next one to do the same, which it always inevitably will. You get lost in it, you lose your passion and become a robot just clicking buttons... always knowing that it can't last and that soon, it will all go wrong.
You'll figure out that it's not why you got into SEO... somewhere along the line you were lured in by this quick win with software, so you went further and further down that path. Take my word for it, that path just gets darker and narrower and leads nowhere. Turn back, head for the light and discover that it's the creativity and quality that gets to fulfill the needs, to expand, and to prosper in the long term
And stop reading Warrior Forums lol... it's good for some stuff but stay out of those software threads!

Social Bookmark Demon and Article Demon are an ineffective use of your time.
-
I am guessing it is just software that submits to thousands of low quality directories and bookmarking sites. The result is short term success but a ban from Google; it is certainly no way to build a brand.
-
It kind of does, but so does linkvana, and that has been met with a lot of success by people who talk about it.
-
Don't waste your time with stuff like this - it looks like mass spamming software that will lead to no good.

Do links like this really help for SEO?
I was doing research with Moz's Link Explorer and one of our competitors had almost 50 links coming from sites like this. Mostly nofollow but we all know that today the nofollow can still help. My question is this: Will links like these help in any shape or matter. The reason I am asking is because Link Explorer is finding them, so I am sure Google will find them as well. Examples of sites: http://www.microlinkinc.com, http://www.cmolink.com The sites that I found via analyzing had DA 35-40 I don't want to share all urls but you get the point. Basically these sites are free keyword analyzing sites, once you put in a keyword they will bring up to 20 sites that rank for that keyword. And my research suggests that these pages stay and are crawl-able since Moz has crawled them. For example Moz says: date first seen 09/12/2018 so almost 6 months has passed but that result that was searched I am assuming has stayed. Would it make sense to search on such sites keywords that you know you are ranking for and then your site would be listed below and stay there for Google to crawl and another nofollow link in our link basket. Is my thinking correct or is it waste of time. Frankly it would take 2sec to run a search for each keyword. Any feedback and thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Davit

Having some problems with understanding how to properly use anchor text for my keywords' better rankings. Please help!
Hello, Last week I did some work on my website's inner pages linking and some of my highly ranking keywords fell down as a result. I guess I did something wrong, please help me figure out what exactly was wrong! Here is the example of what I did. I put a link to the page that ranks for 'Thermador repair Brentwood' here: http://www.ifixappliancesla.com/blog/2016/09/12/appliance-repair-brentwood/ I put exactly same anchor text, 'Thermador repair Brentwood'. For my blog posts, I use Yoast plugin, so when adding the link, I received the message "You are linking to another page with the focus word you want this page rank for. Consider changing that if you truly want this page to rank." While this one's ranking, 'Thermador repair Brentwood', didn't fall down, others did. Could you please confirm if my understanding is right and I'd better not use the same keywords on two or more pages? If yes, what is the best practice for linking to the pages that are not in the main menu? Let's say, I decided to do blog posts for the areas my appliance repair company serves and to optimize those pages for respective keywords. So, I have pages like "Appliance Repair Service in Brentwood" (which is optimized for "appliance repair brentwood" keyword), "Appliance Repair Service in Beverly Hills" ("appliance repair beverly hills" keyword), etc. I thought that the best way to link to them is to put the same anchor texts: "appliance repair beverly hills", etc. But it looks like the best way would be to use the anchor texts like "Beverly Hills", "appliance servicemen in Beverly Hills". Please tell me if I am right? Any explanation, advise or referral would be much appreciated! Thank you!

What are the pros and cons of using a link builder? Can link building be outsourced?
Hi, I have great content on my website which I would like to build external links to from other websites. I am told this will increase my domain authority and ultimately help search engine ranking positions. I have very limited time in my hands and now thinking of outsourcing the link building component to a specialist. Is this a good way of doing it? Could you recommend professional link builders?

Do you get linkjuice from a dofollow redirect (Like Yahoo! Article links)?
I've recently hired a company that publishes my press releases for me. One of them is on Yahoo! Finance. When I went to the Yahoo article, my keyword link was dofollow, but had a very long Yahoo redirect link instead of just a direct link to my page. Am I still getting link juice out of this Yahoo redirect?

Using parked domain page to get 50k+ of low quality links, good idea?
Hi all, I'm managing the seo for a hosting company. We have a lot of parked domains with a parked domain page. This will now be updated to promote our products. When this page is updated it will give 50k+ of low quality links to specific pages almost overnight. We curently don't have a very good seo ranking for our keywords, so there is little risk on the downside in the short term. Do you have any suggestions as to how I should go about this? Some alternatives off the top of my head: 1. get the page up an focus all the link equity on relevant pages with keywords in anchor text 2. add noindex / nofollowto all pages or only part of them to avoid puishment 3. add noindex / to the majority of the pages and "release" a percentage every week or so to avoid a "link bomb" Thanks for any and all input!
