LinkSnitch - Backlink Monitoring at its Best
April 14th, 2009 by TheChadLinkSnitch is one of those super simple services that you do not understand its power until you use it. But once you have it, you wonder how you lived without it.
It is so simple yet powerful backlink monitoring service. If you own a site, then you know the power in a backlink and most of us spend lots of time, energy and money to acquire those links. It doesn’t matter if you get free links, trade links or (don’t tell Google) buy links - each and every one is valuable.
The problem is - getting the link is only about 50% of the problem. Once you get the link you have to watch it to make sure it stays up and isn’t molested. Most people either do this manually or the real foolish people do not track or monitor their links - these people get ripped off daily. It has been proven time and time again that people will drop your links days or weeks after putting it up or when they think you are no longer watching. Or they will slip a nofollow tag on your link to stop the link love.
I have a friend that runs a very large network of directories and he spend about 30% of every day getting backlinks. He then spends 50% of the day verifying SOME of the previously acquired backlinks are still active and the rest of the day working on new business. He has seen that many times link partners either on purpose or completely by accident will delete or manipulate your links.
When I introduced him to LinkSnitch, he was blown away by how much time is saved him! He tells me every week that it saves him over 20 hours a week - which at his normal billing rate of a $100 an hour means this little program saves him $2000 a week. With LinkSnitch knows that every link is randomly checked from multiple IPs address several times a day. There is zero chance for anyone to cheat you on your links. He will instantly be notified by email if any of his links are missing or altered in anyway.
He says that it catches anywhere from 10-30 link “issues” each week! However, he no longer has to spend the time to self monitor them. It is all done automatically for him.
He has since been able to grow his business by 30% a month with the extra time instead of his previous growth rate of about 2-4% a month.
If you have put any time into getting, trading or buying links, you should sign up for a free account of LinkSnitch just so you see how powerful it really is.
I guarantee that it will save you time and money within the first 24 hours of using it!
