If you remember, I threw three (actually four) sites to the wolves (Google) looking for automatic one way back links. Google kindly kicked my butt for two of the programs I used in the recent PR update. I tested Automatic Backlinks (2 sites,) Neurolinker (1 site,) and Dimension SEO (1 site.)

While they look promising, Automatic Backlinks and Neurolinker resulted in a PR drop for the three sites where I had them installed. Remember, no other SEO changes were made to these sites and their other backlinks stayed in place.

Both involved scripts that had to be installed on the site and I think Google caught on to that pretty quickly.

What was the only one way backlink method that worked?

Well, Dimension SEO. Did I see a rise in deep links - they're happening and very slowly, which is okay, because unlike the other two methods, I have no way to undo this. So staying under the radar is a good thing.

Unlike Automatic Backlinks and Neurolinker - I had no involvement in Dimension SEO besides letting them know what site and deep links I wanted them to boost.

So, that's my FINAL review on automatic one way back link schemes. I don't think I'll test this out again any time soon. It's much less nerve wracking to get links the old-fashioned way.
