Your Most Valuable Link Building Resource
Is your business maximizing your most valuable link building resource? TheyAutomate your social link submissions using Auto Pligg
The big news this week in link building is the new automation tool for Pligg based websites from Syndk8.
Called AutoPligg, it is designed to make it easy to submit your stories to websites based on the Pligg social networking software. No more creating accounts manually and then submitting your stories to each one. You can build your own niche based network of pligg sites and automate the entire process. Or you can just use the approximately 5,000 pre installed pligg sites and just hammer away at all of them.
Here is a list of features from the website:
- High quality 1 way links to your website
- Automatically register for accounts. Even breaks CAPTCHAs!!
- Create UNLIMITED profiles and indentities
- Submit stories and comment to 1000’s of sites
- Automated pinging after each submission
- Stats to show succesful submissions
- Proxy support
- Increase your page ranking
- Tag friendly
- Flexible features
- FREE lifetime upgrades
- Access to the private forum
- Get indexed in less than 24 hours flat! (google)
- Get indexed in less than 48 hours flat! (yahoo)
All this for $189.00!
This really isn’t any different than using digiXMAS to do your link submissions. It takes the “work” out of sharing your content with others.
I know that a lot of people are going to be screaming about the “black hat” uses for this tool, but like any other tool, it’s not the tool, it’s how you use it. Sure, you could set it to autospam and hammer your story out to more than 3 million pligg based websites, or you could build niche specific lists and submit legitimate stories to the sites that actually want them.
I’d prefer to see you use it to make your niche specific submissions a little easier, but whether you do or not is entirely up to you.
For the record, I used to run a pligg based site but it was so heavily spammed that I took it down until the pligg developers get their act together and actually start considering some level of security and template stability.
Are directories dead?

I’ve been reading a lot about how link directories are dead when it comes to building a link profile. For most of those India based build and stuff directories that may be the case, but for those that are managed, perform complete site reviews, and keep from linking to what are commonly considered junk websites, this most certainly isn’t the case.
Well managed directories can provide a solid link profile base from which to build a new website, or stabilize an older site. But how to choose who to submit to?
Honestly, it doesn’t really matter. As long as your link profile isn’t 100% link directories, then any “bad” directories that you may submit your site to will have zero benefit, at worst, according to Google. But they might just help a little bit. And the good directories that you’ve submitted to will give you the juice and the traffic that they give.
A directory link will never have the juice that the front page of CNN will give you, but they shouldn’t be ignored either. Especially for a new website just looking for some love.
On a side note, I dumped a massive category dump in here to get started. I’ll be thinning it back down as I have time to make the link portion of the site a bit more friendly.

I’ve been wanting to dive into more link building material and ideas lately and I couldn’t justify full 4 hours of sleep I get every night so it’s time to get serious about link building.
Linkerbation
You can blame Cali Lewis over at Geek Brief TV for the name. She made a comment about linkerbation in one of her podcasts and someone with no plans or, apparently talent, registered the .com but never bothered to do anything with it. Since I firmly believe that good content can be found no matter what the URL or TLD is, I grabbed the .net to create this comfy little spot of linky goodness.
The big directory up front, yes it’s empty at the moment, will be filled over time with sites that I actually look at and like. No random junk sites allowed. And the blog over here will be about me learning and sharing all sorts of link building goodness.
So if you have a good site submit it. Have a comment or suggestion for the blog, submit it (dofollow being installed in a few minutes). Don’t like what I have to say? Keep it to yourself, I am a delicate flounder after all and my feelings are hurt easily.
