Dripable.com and dripfeed.com. I really see no value whatsoever in any service like this. If anyone has an opinion that differs from mine. Go ahead.

I cant believe people are still using services like this. The interesting thing is that they do seem to offer great customer service, but that "service" seems to only spin comment spam and back profile backlinks. Id love for our community to discuss more sites like this so that Junior SEO's or people just starting dong get wooed by the promise of AWESOME links.
Cheers,

Awesome response Ryan. In particular the part about google not existing.

Anyone who spends even a small amount of time on SEOmoz knows those forms of paid link building are pure garbage. A complete waste of time and money. Google will state this directly, every white hat site and SEO will state this directly, and common sense should be enough to clearly indicate these forms of paid links are not of value.
They do more damage then good. If a small business owner works and builds 50 legitimate links per month for a year, they have 600 links to their site. When they pay services like you mentioned to build 2k links per month, then 3 months later there should be 6600 total links to the website. The problem is, 90% of the links are spam links, Google clearly knows it and then algorithmically nails the site as it clearly has a bad backlink profile.
Worse, these links make it harder for SEOs to do their job. If the site has 600 authentic links then when you look at metrics such as DA and PA, you can use them properly to estimate a site's PR. When sites have thousands of links from these link spam services, you end up with sites which have DA 8x but a PR of 3.
Site owners should spend their time and effort on activities which provide authentic value for their customers or readers. Pretend Google did not exist and ask yourself how much traffic will the activity being performed drive to your site. If the answer is zero, it's time to come up with a new plan.

What are the SEO value of revolving or rotating lists of links?
What are the SEO value of revolving or rotating lists of links? For example the links at the bottom of the homepage of inlandnwopera.com. The links are based in images and I am not really sure Google would pick them up but they do appear on ahrefs.com. Thank you.

Has Anyone Heard from Google?
After submit RR last week, we got the following from Google: "We've received a request from a site owner to reconsider how we index the following site: http://www.butterflycraze.com/ We'll review the site. If we find that it's no longer in violation of our Webmaster Guidelines, we'll reconsider our indexing of the site. Please allow several weeks for the reconsideration request. We do review all requests, but unfortunately we can't reply individually to each request." We got discouraged that Goodle said that it'd reconsider if we are no longer in violation. However, we have about 4500 unatural links created by SEO co, who has proceed with some, but, we aren't seen reduction of such links. In fact, it went up. I need advise as how to remove the following (they are the few site with bulk links): fantake.com: have their webmaster info, however, since last request, we still have 1200 links from it. blogspot.com - is there any way to remove links from such site? onlineunionmall.com: don't see any contact info on their site Some suggest us move on by building good links, but, to dilute the power of 4500 unnatural links, it would take forever.
