Has anyone used seolinkvine

Has anyone used seolinkvine? They talk about it being very good but sometimes too good to be true with these prices. It seems legit and simple but obviously results will vary for everyone.

Not quite up to date with their latest offering, but I've used it in the past along with many other content networks.
Unlike many people here I don't think something should be ignored just because it's against search engine guidelines. If nothing else it's worth testing what's working, then figuring out why it's working.
To answer your question; of the many large and small content networks I tested, SEOLinkVine produced the worst results by far. ALN and 10LAD both produced results, either in combination with other linking or on their own (before being decimated). SEOLinkVine did not.
I see they claim to have updated but are selling the same results as before. If it didn't work then, I'm not convinced it will work now.
Thoughts on proceeding.
Personally curated content networks, or even joining some smaller editor driven content networks will still probably get you results, if done well. However when they get found out and discounted you'll be in trouble. Sites that I had propped up by these networks ended up with a penalty from which they've still not recovered.
If you're after some shorter term success, might be worth doing, but in the long run you'll be better putting efforts into improving the site and relationships.

My guess is the reason people do it is because it's easy and they think it will do them some good.
I understand wanting to get links. But you also don't want to wish you could remove those links two months down the road. For example, you'll see sites and gigs that advertise getting a bunch of .edu links, which may initially sound wonderful, but may actually end up looking like https://drupalsites.purchase.edu/journalism/index.php?q=node/52. No human is going to read that and buy from you, and a search engine isn't going to give your site any positive value form that type of link.
Here are a bunch of posts in the Link Building section of the SEOmoz blog about how some of the experts go about getting links. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/category/link-building

Well i see your point but then why do so many people do it?
I guess what i am really looking for is other ways to get links. Is manual emailing and hoping for links the way all the pros do this?

Those two haven't been discussed much specifically on SEOmoz, but in general this crowd isn't in favor of submitting the same piece of content to tons of blogs you've never seen before, having link/blog networks, or having a bunch of spun content. It's funny to talk about "Think before you beverage" being in an article about alcoholism, but less so when that's what has been done to your content to make it unique.

Also what about unique article wizard? They talk about being a step above link vine and comply more with the latest google rules.

Outbound Links as References - use nofollow or not?
Hey People 🙂 We run an ecommerce site and we research and wrote articles on health topics , and we post the references on the articles in posts ( Magento site / Wordpress for articles ) Should I be putting rel=nofollow in the outbound links or not?

Backlink's using duplicate content in article directories
I've had a link build report of all the links an SEO company have got us but a simple search for some of the content in Google with phrase match brings up about 3 pages of the same content posted to different article sites. I think it is doing something but will it just be penalised over time?

Has anyone ever shared a list of all their backlink sources?
I am currently in the research stage of finding more sites that I will be able to do things such as submit infographics, guest post, or get easy backlinks that are legit. I feel out of options, as I have already built links with a lot of sites but feel like I need more. Has anyone ever seen someone actually sharing all of their hard work by providing a list of all the sites that worked for them? Or does there come a point when really your only option left is to guest post or be a HARO source? I have been doing those things all along--I'm not just looking for easy, lazy links! Is there anyone who's gotten a site up to a high PR score who's felt out of options, like they've already done all they know how to do? I'd like your opinions. I know it seems like an outrageous question to ask, but I thought I'd throw it out there. I'd be willing to share sources too; I'm not just trying to mooch off people!

Looking at Page Authority of a link to our website... what Page Authority number should we use in deciding the link is junk?
What are the Page Authority ranges? 1. Excellent link 2. Moderate 3. Total junk link Of course you look at the anchor text you can use, how many links are on the site, how often it is cached. Thoughts?

Does Anyone Have Evidence of the Effectiveness of Guest Posts?
I think the tactic of guest posts is a good way to earn links to a site. But I have a few concerns: -Links are usually at the very end of the page.
Link Building | | SparkplugDigital
-Guest posts are on blog posts which usually have much less link juice than top level pages.
-A lot of sites abuse guest posting for spammy anchor text, e.g. "cheap auto loans"
-Some SEOs have said that Google will devalue guest post links in the future (due to abuse) Does anyone have examples, tests, or case studies of guest posting helping a site improve their rankings? (or an opinion on the value of guest posting)0
