Anyone use and like Brute force Evo 2

What exactly does it do and does anyone know someone who got in trouble using it?
With linkvana and bookmarking demon and manually posting to blogs would anyone need this/

Hey Joe, I have read a bunch of your questions today and let me tell you, currently, you are in a bad place SEO wise. Steve, myself and many others have given you great, informative answers yet you cast them aside, and their efforts aside as it is not what you want to hear.
You are looking for the 'secret of SEO link building' or the 'SEO Tool that allows you dominate the first page of google!!!!!!' - in essence, you are not looking to do things the right way, you are looking for spam tools to cheat your way to the top.
Steve said it above and I have said it in another of your threads but you are not alone, many of us start out there, in the place that you are in at the moment. Looking for the easy fix, the easy win, the trick, secret or tool that will let you get to the top and you know what, long term, you are wasting your time (and ours a little).
The longer you are in this game, the more white hat you become. Are you looking to do some anchor text link spam to promote some burner domains or are you looking to cheat? If you have a real business, with a future, then stop looking for these easy answers as they simply don't exist.
Sure, there are strategies, and easy wins, but if your whole approach is to spend time looking for low value links then buddy, you are just wasting your own time and everyone here will tell you the same thing.
No one here is going to give you success stories about such a tool as everyone here is working their asses off to do things the right way and that involves a whole lot of graft, hard work and patience.
Joe - if I can give you any advice it would be to stop looking at these tools, set realistic goals and maybe start reading the link building posts on this site. There are tons of solid strategies and approaches and none of these will be a waste of your time, money or effort and certainly none of them will end up with you having to burn the site and move onto a new domain.
Sorry if this comes off a bit harsh buddy, think of it as tough love from someone who has been burnt before.
Cheers

Creativity. It's as simple as that.
Let's see if we can get something going here. Tell about your website you want to rank for, what do you do, and what are you passionate about in that work?

I appreciate your concern. Very few links are deserved in my opinion, but these discussions are helping me to sought what to do. I realized earlier that even a good product like Linkvana can be frowned on by Google because it has it's own network. Better to get links from independent sites. I won't use Linkvana or other network type link software for my main site.
i can see doing articles and blogging etc. get links my competitors have ,but something has to have more pull for rankings.
-
Sorry, perhaps I didn't explain myself very well there.
What I'm trying to say is that it's not the software that is the problem here, it's the frame of mind. The mindset of getting undeserved links instead of deserved links. The deserved links will provide much more success and for a lot longer, so the best thing to do is not go after undeserved links but create great stuff and promote it to get deserved links.
-
Though I appreciate your input on my questions, and certainly don't want to discourage you from answering again, I don't relate very well to analogies.
I trust my ability to sort through facts. I don't think you understand what linkvana does. If the proper objectives are met, than any programs to help get you there are good in my opinion. If it's a violation of Google's policies , then it's not o.k.
Using software to automate a process that is normally manual should be o.k. Now if the result results in stuff that 1. Either hurts your site rankings or 2. Is in violation of Google's policies. Then It's not good.
So does anyone know if anything Linkvana does is in violation of any of Google's policies? Because it sure makes a good addition for getting contextual links.

It is a little different yes, but it's still something to be avoided as it follows the whole wrong concept of what SEO is.
Imagine this...
There are two people who make kids toys. One wears a white hat, and one wears a black hat.
The white hat guy hand makes lots of stuff but one of them is a beautiful dolls house out of wood, with furniture inside, lots of detail, loads of decorations, etc...
The black hat guy sits on a factory over a conveyor belt just churning out replica plastic, tacky junk.
The black hat guy will sell a few of his junk but soon enough it stops selling on the basis that it's cheap tat.
The white hat guys doll house, along with many other of his creations is picking up in pace... it's value has gone up instead of down. It's attracting attention from media outlets, having photo shoots, and will one day be considered an antique of high value due to it's individual and original craftsmanship. Because the dolls house is so amazing it's attracted attention to his other creations too, people are noticing and buying other things of his now.
The black hat guy is still trying to find his next product that will sell. He's tried a few different ones now but they all work out the same as the last, their low quality just doesn't get them anywhere. He may find another temporary fix but that won't last long and he'll just be searching again and wasting time over more that don't last soon enough.
So there you have it, my little analogy Which guy would you rather be?
Linkvana is not something the white hat guy would use.
A little tip for future reference too, try to avoid typing in all capital letters. I'm sure it was accidental but some people consider it as shouting in forums, etc... so it won't help with getting questions answered

TELL ME MORE ABOUT LINKVANA? SEEMS DIFFERENT

Well said!

Joe, trust me on this... I used to be on the dark side before I knew better. It was all about the software, from Xrumer and Scrapebox, to Linkvine and everything else you can find out there... people are right when they say it leads to no good. Yes it can provide some short term success but it's extremely volatile and it's nowhere near the success you'll get if you're patient and you do it properly. It's like living life on the edge so to speak, but with all of your time and efforts, and it can (and will) quickly come crumbling down, followed by complaints and a realization that you've not really been doing SEO at all, you've been spamming. There's no creativity involved, no quality, no pride of work or achievements, just rankings that shoot up then disappear and the constant unnerving feeling that you're always waiting for the next one to do the same, which it always inevitably will. You get lost in it, you lose your passion and become a robot just clicking buttons... always knowing that it can't last and that soon, it will all go wrong.
You'll figure out that it's not why you got into SEO... somewhere along the line you were lured in by this quick win with software, so you went further and further down that path. Take my word for it, that path just gets darker and narrower and leads nowhere. Turn back, head for the light and discover that it's the creativity and quality that gets to fulfill the needs, to expand, and to prosper in the long term
And stop reading Warrior Forums lol... it's good for some stuff but stay out of those software threads!

Social Bookmark Demon and Article Demon are an ineffective use of your time.
-
I am guessing it is just software that submits to thousands of low quality directories and bookmarking sites. The result is short term success but a ban from Google; it is certainly no way to build a brand.
-
It kind of does, but so does linkvana, and that has been met with a lot of success by people who talk about it.
-
Don't waste your time with stuff like this - it looks like mass spamming software that will lead to no good.

Back links from sites like Wix & Wordpress.
Sorry for the newb question. If you get a back-link from a blogger on wordpress will you get any of the 'link juice' from the platform. i.e) from the Wordpress site. I'm talking about bloggers whose URL's would be like...www.wordpress.com/bloggersitename I imagine not, but it would be good to know for sure. Isaac.

Some web 2.0 sites blocked by robot
I had created some web2.0 sites, google also indexed those sites but those sites robots.txt are disallow, this mean Google will not give any credit on ranking ? I have seen in google, those sites meta description was written - A description of this site is not available due to the robot.txt file. I checked that file, it is written disallow. Can google still count those sites for the ranking purpose ?

Which directories to use?
I've recently has a conversation with a colleague regarding which directories to use when link building. In her opinion we should use only the ones that are relevant and nothing else. For example if you're working on a travel website, you should only submit either to travel directories or local directories (based on the business location). In my opinion yes we should submit to these directories but then you'll reach a limit and then you need to submit to general directories that have the "travel" category, even if the business is in NY and the directory is in India, as long as it is a good directory and has the relevant category. What is your opinion about this?

2 links going to same domain but different pages
Hi, How is the link juice distributed when you have 2 links in the same article but they go to different pages on the same domain? I know some say if 2 links go to the same page in an article then only the first link passes juice. Would it be better to have 2 articles each having 1 link or 2 articles each having 2 links?

Has anyone done any real research about paid directories?
Hi Guys Im doing a little link building and in the industry Im working in there are quite a few directories....most offer free inclusion as long as you link back to them. This process can be slow due to the number of people trying to get listed. Also most offer a "express service" whereby you can get your site reviewed and uploaded faster if you pay a nominal fee circa £15. I'm not refering to any old directories these are directories which are industry specific and related to my site, however they are not confined to the country I am in (UK) but extend world wide So that got me thinking has anyone actually done any conclusive research which suggests that either A) you will not get any benefit from being included in such a directory or B) that you get penalised if you do so or C) none of the above and there is some benefit. I have been using open site explore and I can see these sites are giving link juice to my competition (as far as I can tell ofcourse) I found a site with almost all of its back links from these types of directories ranking on the first page for a very competitive term (67% using Keyword Difficulty tool) Would be interested to hear your thoughts / experiences

Article submissions for link building- what sites do you still use?
Hey Everyone, Long-time SEO'er first time poster here. I've been doing SEO for around 5 years but since starting my company The Search Ninjas last year I've been so bogged down with client work that I feel like I'm starting to fall behind on what's still effective from a link building perspective since all of my clients are local businesses and since we've been focusing so much attention on Google Places. My question is- are there any general article sites that you still use for SEO since the Panda update last year (that you firmly believe still offer "juice"), or do you mainly focus on niche sites and guest-blogging? I'm looking for ideas regarding how to find content submission opportunities for clients for link building purposes. I'm familiar with Ontolo and the Whitespark Link Prospecting Tool in terms of ways to find opportunities (and of course cherrypicking competitors' links using OSE and SEOSpyglass), any other recommendations? Best, George ps clients are in legal niche for the most part if that helps you out, but this is mainly me looking for everyone's general opinion.
