I’ve always loved systems; not the guru-type systems where all they do is rehash a technique that’s been working for years and launch it under a fancy name, but systems that somehow automate a normally manual process.

Another thing I like my systems to have is transparency; I like to know upfront what I’m getting into so I can evaluate the potential of the system before handing over my money.

Today I got an email about an article link building system that just immediately clicked with me.

I could see what it did, and the priciples of how my articles and links would be distributed within this article directory network made sense to me.

I’ve yet to put it to the test because I wanted to let you know about it as fast as I could since there’s a chance of getting some nice launch discounts.

Personally I’ve gone for the free version, but they also have a paid version that have some nice features compared to the free version.

I know that I’m not likely to take full advantage of the paid version, but if you’re currently doing a lot of article marketing either through your own writing or through rewritten PLR content, then the paid version might be suitable for you.

I’m currently launching a new niche site, so what better way to test the potential of this linkbuilding / article marketing system.

The only backlinks I have at the moment are from a dozen domain stats pages, and none of them are indexed by Google yet, and only one link is indexed by Yahoo.

So I’m really starting from scratch with my linkbuilding.

The success of an article linkbuilding network lies in its ability to distribute the articles to a wide variety of IP addresses, and doing it gradually so the linkbuilding appears to be normal.

This is especially important for a fresh domain where hundred or thousands of inbound links in a very short time is almost certain to get your site sandboxed.

It’s the perfect scenario to set up a controlled test, so remember to check back later for progress reports.

The link I provided is an affiliate link, but it’s not just like any other affiliate program.

Normally you’ll only benefit if people you refer go for the paid version, but here you also earn link credits from people you refer and people they in turn refer when they post an article.

This is a brilliant twist from a system point of view since this encourages people to spread the word and this in turn helps create the much needed IP diversity.
