rooturajFor all you link building professionals, website owners mystified by SEO, Newbie SEOs and others I am taking time to review another link building service. Generatebacklinks.com
I was on facebook and their ad banner caught my attention. I know almost all cheap SEO packages available are total crap. But it helps you to know what people in your industry are doing to lure more clients – so that you might find the loopholes and improve upon them.
So I follow the banner to their website and take a look the packages which are no doubt very attractive. Then I notice the Live chat option and give it a try. Someone named Jeany comes up to assist me. I make it from the language that she/he is an Indian compatriot even though the site is Western (or so they claim). Halfway through the chat I confirm that too.
I ask them how many different domains will the links be from and what kind of links. To which the agent answers 2000 links from 2000 different domains and all of them forum signatures. That sounds very generous to me for an investment of 10$.
Now I ask them about samples and the agent promptly sends me a link.
http://thecity.sfsu.edu/~csc313/bb/profile.php?id=90670
I see the link and jump – wow .edu links. Could I have asked for anything more? So Happily I say – ” I am bookmarking the site and I will come back to close the deal latter”.
But but Butt …..
My enthusiasm dies out as I go into my second phase of link analysis. I open that link and its a bloody profile page. With almost zero content which I am sure will be duplicated over 2000 similar pages.
I check the page for an index on Google and behold nothing there as well.
So I go back to the chat and the same agent comes up. Upon my enquiry if there will be any real forum posts or just profile links she/he says just those profile links. I explain how they are shitty for SEO as they are not indexed and she says many of their clients are benefiting from the service so I should also be benefiting. Thats a mugged up answer almost every bull shit SEO company gives in response to your arguments.
The agent even tell me about 5% of the links will be indexed. Pooh .. thats only 100 links out of 2000. Now by this time I am suppressing that demon inside me from getting inside the screen and strangling her/him by throat. Further the agent tells me I can get more benefit by making RSS feeds of those shitty links and bookmarking them as well.
Blah… you make me 2000 crapy links in 5 days and I spent months trying to get them indexed? How smart.
So there you go friends .. I have shared my thought and experience with you. I hope it will help you in deciding before you opt for an SEO package.
Cheers
Rooturaj
PS : By the way I tired to send myself a chat transcript and they have disabled the sumit button. But I copied it and you can see that below.

what kind of links will I be getting?
Can I see some sample links.
I dont have a new site but it has only 300 or so backlinks.
What effect will 2000 more links have on its status?
How long will the links last? If they are not for ever then do not even bother to contact me back.
Thanks

Jenine [agent]

Rooturaj Pattanaik [you]

Jenine [agent]
so you really think profile backlinks do not work for seo
or any website
Rooturaj Pattanaik [you]
they work if they are indexed
Jenine [agent]
so you are sure they will not index?
Rooturaj Pattanaik [you]
u said it yourself only 5% get indexed
I use various forums and I know they mostly dont get indexed
Jenine [agent]
5% is guaranteed if you ping them convert into rss and submitt to rss website..bookmark them value will increase
Rooturaj Pattanaik [you]
the forums admin .knowlingly noindex them
Jenine [agent]

I saw their ad on Facebook too and before getting to excited decided to google the company to find reviews.
Thank you for helping me avoid wasting time and money.
Have an awesome day!
I have bought package of 10,000 from generate backlinks and they delivered work within 4 working days, thats quick I am sure they are using script to built backlinks. I was worried about sandbox but hopefully nothing has happened and now my keyword got 30 places jump which I consider as good for value of $39. just my 2 cent.
@Adam
I dont know if you are a promoter of that company I reviewed but your comment does smell like that.
Any way you did not mention to what exact ranking did your SERP rank move up. From page no 20 to 17? Thats 30 spots dude? Who cares?
If you moved from page4 (list no 31-40) to page 1 (listings 1-10) I can say yes thats a good job. But probably in that case it was a very silly keyword you are competing against.
Thanks a lot for this review, I was almost to pay but I found this article and decided me to back-off… It will really waste my time and money…
@Rooturaj thanks for this review I am also going for this kind of backlinks offers in coming days but after reading your experience with these bloody spammers I generate all the backlinks from my own. Again thanks for this helpful review on these bloody spammers SEO Fraud companies.
