Dirty, filthy, disgusting link building. You love it, don’t lie.

Ok you don’t have to love it, but if you’re a smart SEO, even in 2014 you’ll respect it. Tactics come and go but many tools have remained a staple of automated link building for one main reason, they work. With the right operator behind them and an effective strategy all the tools listed below can be used to create a solid ranking system.

Proceed with caution, for once you visit the dark side and taint your white hat SEO virginity, it can not be undone.

Link Building Automation

GSA Search Engine Ranker

This is by far my favorite link building tool right now. It is crazy flexible and able to build some rather niche specific high quality backlinks on the first tier with the proper filters and manually spun content. Then for tier 2/3 links it can’t be beat, combine it with Kontent Machine and you can literally set up tier 2 blasts in a matter of minutes. As if the price of GSA wasn’t already ridiculously low ($99), here is a GSA Search engine ranker coupon that works for both SER and captcha breaker.

Rankwyz

Rankwyz allows you to manage a web2 and WordPress blog network. The difference between Rankwyz and say Ultimate Demon web2s is Rankwyz allows you to manage and repost to the blogs with ease. This sets them apart from the 1 page keyword.wordpress.com spam blogs. Google can see the lack of depth in those links, no bueno. Here is review of Rankwyz to check out and learn more about the service.

Link Emperor

This service is actually quite effective but use it with caution on your first tier. For example, the private network providers, sure they are some juiced links, but having tier 1 links you cant control on blog networks doing god knows what is never the safest strategy. But what you can do, is use Link Emperor or LE for short as a tier 2 cannon. Since these links will rank a site on the first tier, imagine how powerful they would be for juicing up some super legit first tier links.

Scrapebox

Do we even need to go there? If you do SEO then grabbing a copy of ScrapeBox is like bringing a calculator to Math class, it’s that important. So get on it.

Gscraper

It was quite noob of me to overlook Gscraper, this thing absolutely kills it. Combined with their proxy service it’s all I’m using for scraping, cancelled my 100 dedicated proxies for scraping and now I just rock this. Mass PR checking, mass scraping, sick proxy DB to just beat the hell out of, two thumbs up for Gscraper.

Content Creation Tools

Kontent Machine

Using Kontent Machine and GSA you can literally blast an unlimited amount of links. Since Kontent Machine allows you to export GSA ready templates you can literally pump out campaigns in a matter of minutes. My VA can churn them out all day.

Wicked Article Creator

The competitor to KM, WAC for short, is a beast mode content scraper. It gives you more control over your scraping on a line basis and also exports pre-made templates like KM. Overall for the hands off GSA templates KM is the best, but for my mass text manipulation needs, WAC you’re my boy blue.

Wordai

Wordai is used for auto spinning content. It’s the premium solution for auto spinning, a step up from the Best Spinner and with the right settings can be used on the first tier with low outputs.

The Best Spinner

For manual spinning nothing beats TBS, yes manual spinning is a complete  pain in the ass. It works though so quit your wining and go hire a VA.

Backlink Checking and Rank Tracking

Ahrefs

Of all the backlink checkers out there, Ahrefs hands down beats the shit out of everyone. It blows the doors off Opensiteexplorer and spanks Majestic SEO the same. I know because I’ve blasted tons of links and used them all, clear cut Ahrefs finds way more than the competition, every time.

Microsite Masters

Gotta track them ranks, unless you like throwing darts blind folded. Micro site is my shit. Ability to add notes, share rank charts, sound tracking, microsite masters wins the day.

Inspyder Backlink Monitor

Inspyder is a very cool tool for multi tier backlink analysis. It allows you to see where there are holes in your tier structure along with identify non-indexed backlinks. This way you can build additional tiers or force indexation where needed.

VPS, Proxies, and Captcha Solving

PowerupHosting

Another awesome company that I’ve been pleased to work with. Right now I’m running 3 different servers, the Hyper-V pro VPS model with 5gb ram. They are amazing for running ScrapeBox, GSA, Ultimate Demon, SEnuke, etc. Hit them up and they will deploy your VPS within a few hours.

GSA Captcha Breaker

This captcha breaker has saved me literally thousands of dollars in captcha cost. It runs along side GSA and several other programs cracking a huge % of captchas for free beyond the initial cost of the software.

SquidProxies

For your private a shared proxies this is hands down the best service out there. I have thoroughly tested them in this post and SquidProxies came out on top by almost 7 times!

Social Signals

Syndd

I am by no means a big fan of Syndd, but social signals aren’t always the easiest thing to generate naturally. So what are the solutions? Not many, it really comes down to Fiverr and Syndd. And I can assure anything from Fiverr is going to be be beyond complete shit. You’ll be literally getting theworst social signals possible.

Now Syndd is a step up from that shit but a necessary evil. It’s not same as getting a tweet from Pete Cashmore, so don’t expect viral traffic. But if you’re trying to make a site look natural while blasting links some social signals are key now days.

Expired Domaining

Freshdrop

This is the tool I used to find that 90% of my awesome domain snags. Freshdrop pulls expired listings from all the big domain registrars and gives you a huge range of metrics on each domain. Some of my favorites are, Majestic SEO backlinks, PR, Fake PR check, Archive.org records, google indexed pages, age, traffic, .edu links, .gov links, dmoz listed, and a ton more.

And that’s all folks, as the times change this page will be updated with the latest tools for automated link building. As of now this lineup is the cream of the crop.
