There is no doubt that most of you SEOs and Internet Marketers have heard about link building tools such as Xrumer and Scrapebox but on the other hand paying for licenses (which are quite expensive), paying for dedicated servers, proxies and anti-captcha services can lead to some serious amounts of money being paid each month.

There are many services offering Xrumer/Scrapebox blasts and most marketers use this type of links (mass forum profiles and mass blog comments) for layered pyramids, however one such service that got our attention is Dripable.com.

The interesting feature this service offers is the possibility to “drip-feed” the links each day, depending on how many URLs you want to blast and how many keywords each day – it is quite a set and forget tool due to the fact you can schedule a certain amount of links to be blasted each day.

Guys at Dripable are offering 3 membership levels:

- 1,000 links per day $47/month
- 2,000 links per day $67/month
- 4,000 links per day $97/month

Definitely you are getting a lot for a reasonable monthly fee. On top of that, Dripable is also offering daily reports containing the links they have created to each project (URLs+anchor texts).

Profile links and blog comments are, as you probably know by now, the lowest type of backlinks, in term of quality. Therefore the best way to use this service is to avoid pointing them to your money site and use them for indexing/strengthening other type of links you create such as social networks, articles, press releases and anything else that might be considered a “buffer site”.

Another strong point about this service when compared to say Xrumer is that you do not need to learn anything! Xrumer can be quite time-consuming when trying to get the most out of it and learn how to properly handle it while Dripable has a very user-friendly interface that any SEO beginner could use.

We definitely recommend this service to be added in any SEO’s link building arsenal!

Senuke X is a tool that was launched with a lot of hype in the Internet Marketing community as being the “more improved” version of Senuke.

Come back in few days (it all depends on how you have scheduled it to drip-feed links) and there you have – full reports for each and every account registered/link created. One of the most important parts of the “Wizard” is the Diagram Designer – this cool thing will help you decide exactly how your link building strategy will look: how many social networking websites, how many social bookmarking links, where exactly will the links go (directly to money site or to other buffer sites) and many other interesting things that will make your life easier.
