Link building is an off-site optimization process SEOs can’t live without. Honestly, this is a tedious process. Because, what we all need to work on are one-way links. There are lot of reciprocal link building softwares available today, but many of them are equal to spam. What these reciprocal link builders do is – find out sites from a category(which you select) that are open to link exchanges, and spam their inboxes with link exchange requests. Many a times, this strategy will not work as the emails end up as spam.
Now, there are genuine softwares that will do this in a better way. Find you one-way links that will help you increase your ranks on the SERPs.
Link Assistant is one such software. It has the following features..
Now there is a thin line here. If you automate this software completely, it will become as equal as spam.
Here’s how it works.
- Select a category of websites with which you’ll like to exchange link with. It’d be good to search for websites that are in the same niche as your’s.
- Find your link partners by searching for sites that are offering link exchanges in this category.
- Select from a list of potential linking sites and finalize their list taking off the weeds from the list. You can hand pick them or the software will filter them out.
- Now, the site will make a list of all the selected websites and create a page with all of them listed. So basically you are creating a link directory of all your link exchange sites. We are doing this because in the next step, when we ask them to link back to us, we need to have placed their link in the first place.
- Link Assistant has a set of email templates, from which you can select one and add a bit of your personal touch and automate the software to send emails to all your potential link partners.
- The next step is to wait. Since we have send our email requests to all our potential link partners, we will wait for them to link to us.
- Next, Link Assistant will check if your link partners have linked to you according to your request. If they haven;t you can pull them off your link directory otherwise keep them.
As I mentioned earlier, there is a thin line between spam and genuine email here. Link Assistant can be easily mistaken for spam if you don’t use it properly. BE careful when selecting partners whom you are emailing and also when selecting email template. I think customizing the email to give your personal touch will help much.
I don’t recommend using this software completely automated but yes with a bit of hardwork it can be useful to you.
- Find link partners by using the software. Select a category of websites you are interested in and ask the software to find the qualifying websites to you.
- In the next step, visit the sites manually and see if they are really genuine and if they fit to be linked with. First ask for one-way links bye sending them personalized emails. It won’t work, then you can go for link-exchange.
Link exchanges are not recommended by Google therefore I don’t recommend you to do this at all. Instead use this software just to find potential link builders. Beyond it, the software is as good as spam.
Well, I personally is of the opinion that all SEO softwares are basically bull-shit, at one point or the other, you’ll find that the one you are using it is negatively affecting you. But Link Assistant is the best spam, I’d say! So it’s a matter of using these softwares wisely. This one has a fully functional version available for trial for 15 days. So give it a try anyway and get rid of it!

Oh I have checked out a lot of such softwares Mani. All are BS. Really not useful.
According to me shortcut methods like these don’t really work.
Link Building should be Organic and should progress naturally.

Mani, Vikram, have you EVER promoted your sites in search engines?
I doubt… All those loud words like “Link exchanges are not recommended by Google” and “Link Building should be Organic” make me laugh
)) NOBODY (I can repeat it once again – NOBODY) has seen any evidence of this. And if you like Matt Cutts’ and Google’s BS, you can continue shouting this stupidity everywhere, but clever people will be making money using LinkAssistant and other SEO tools
Good luck,
Lazlo
