   Thanks for this content Tasos, You don’t know how much you have save me. $7 is nothing but building bad link to my site will make me lose alot of time and money.

   Have been building natural backlink to my site and if i suddenly lost it, that will be a great lost.

   Thanks for this

     Welcome Femstic, you are very kind. I am so glad you found the article helpful.

     Yes, keep on building links naturally, ethically, and you have nothing to fear. The sky is the limit. Programs like this one never help. That kind of backlinks might hurt any site. But even if you happen to use such a program, natural links that earned before can’t be lost just like that.

     Thank you for letting me know. Good luck with your sites!

   This type of software could trigger concerns from one’s AdSense account. If AdSense is a source of income, then a review of the AdSense policies would be well worth the time. The software could be harmless, in and of itself, however, if AdSense generates a full time income, as it does for some, it may be best to avoid this software. As the old adage says, when in doubt, throw it out.
   I agree that it’s really not worth the risk. Especially, as you say, if your site is starting to get traffic and show some potential. Natural traffic from interesting content and user interaction through comments goes a long way.
   Thanks for the review and the warning.

     Welcome bioelectrobot , thank you for your input in the Adsense policies and your mentions.I agree that this kind of software are always suspicious and could be proved harmful.As you say , if there are doubts then do not use it.This is what I do always , I use programs and products that are proved worthy , I am not a fan of random solutions that may look fancy or cheap.

     Natural and organic traffic is what matters most for every website.Visitors that are interested in what you have to offer.

     Thank you for this visit and for sharing your experience with Adsense and your insights.All my best.

   Hey Tasos

   I see what you mean when you say you think social monkeys website was constructed in a day!

   You would have thought if it was such a great product that the creator would have put a little more effort than that into the website.

   However if he is selling his service at a measley $7.00 then you can justify why his web site looks like it lacks funding.

   As for back linking do you not think paying for a service similar to social monkey be worth while?

     Welcome to my blog Jack.Indeed this is a very poor production which is offering “bad” backlinks generated from their own “low quality” network.I would not trust these resources in any case.

     All the authoritative websites (like WA , MOZ , Search Engine Land … to name a few) teach to create backlinks in a natural way that comes through quality content , social shares , mentions and engagement.No one is talking about paying a service for such links.I would not pay for that.Moreover I believe it is not so “legal”.

     Thank you for visiting and for participating in the comments.

   Hi Tasos!
   Social Monkey really looks like a mediocre product that promise quality backlinks. When I look at the price of $7, this already indicates a bad sign. Too cheap to be true. I would never land my credit card information on this type of gimmicks.

   The service should be out-dated as Google will not weight backlinks as much as it used to be. But it is still important though. I know only two ways to find quality backlinks:
   1. Write good and wicked content regularly.
   2. Go take some ideas from authority sites, then compliment them through email about their contribution for our content creation. This will hopefully attract them linking to our sites. But it takes effort and time.

   Anyway, thanks for uncovering this crazy Monkey system that only claims banana promise which doesn’t work anymore.

     Great points Edy and you made me laugh with your last sentence.Banana promises is exactly what this Monkey does.Yes , that very low price is a bad sign right from the beginning.The layout of their website is outdated and does not look professional.Personally , I am afraid to get my website progress in danger and lose rankings.That private networks these companies use to create and send backlinks are not valuable resources at all.Additionally there were many complaints from other bloggers.No one was satisfied with that Monkey system.

     Consistent unique content is the A and Z in website development.And your second statement on the authority sites is very important.We should always read and get inspiration from these sites.It will take time to build a relationship with them but this is what makes this process beautiful.

     If you had built a website and let’s say in one month period you were getting tons of traffic that would not be exciting at all.It is consistency and hard work that make the difference.Good things come to those who wait and take action as well.

     Thank you for visiting my blog and for your excellent arguments.

   Hey I totally agree with what you said in the beginning. I am a firm believer of creating valuable quality content and organically growing your website to get it ranked.

   I agree that they seem very sketchy and try to sell you on empty hopes and dreams in order to get your money.

   Using something like this to sort of “cheat” your way to the top of google will probably backfire in the end and if Google catches it, then your site will lose all trust and credibility and probably tank in the rankings.

   Thanks for the share and shedding light on this company!

     Exactly Matt , why to jeopardise your website rankings for things that don’t matter much any way?…Recently I watched another webinar of Jay Neill from Wealthy Affiliate where he made some tests using a live tool showing us how “his post” with only 2 backlinks stay in the first page of Google SERPs and competing giants that their posts had over 200 backlinks.A strong signal that backlinks are not worthy so much.

     Many online complaints on this Monkee program from numerous bloggers.

     I agree with you , only quality content and focus on the visitors.Consistent work and engagement.This is the future of SEO I believe.

     Thank you for visiting my blog and for your participation.
