(Update 5/29/08)

Below you will find some exceprts from the Trackback Spider forum.

#1 on Google: Actual thread from the forum.

“I’ve run various versions of TB for the past couple months. Just recently installed v1.0.5 and I’m excited about it.

Just wanted to post a quick note to let everyone know the program works. One site, a brand new site I posted in February, consists of ONE page (plus privacy.htm, terms.htm, etc)… with ZERO placement or PR value. I started promoting it via TBS in June for three primary keywords. Today (Oct 3, 2007), this tiny ZERO PR site ranks #1 on Google for two of the three primary keywords.

On another site… a five year old site… I had various placements on google for a variety of terms but ZERO front page ranking for any of my primary terms. Again I started promoting this site for five of the primary terms back in June. Today… #1, #3, and #4 rank. So three out five primary terms are ranking above the fold. Not bad…

Great program!”

Another member: “are you getting lots of traffic with those rankings? and is the traffic bringing in lots of money hehe”

“Actually… YES! It’s pretty cool. My orders stayed roughly the same but it decreased my PPC costs by over 75%.”

“So nice to see a product working so well… so quickly.

First time I ran TBS I didn’t know what I was doing or what to expect.

So, I thought I’d just test it out to see what happened.

I ran the TBS with about 8 keywords. And, fairly completive keywords.
That produced a DB of around 800.

Then off to the poster and, as it was a test, I did the barest of minimum for data
entry. Really, I just copied what Jared was doing on the tutorials.

Ran the poster for about 90 minutes.

My thinking at the time was that I’d not see any immediate results but rather
gradual results as a result of increased links back to the blog I was promoting.

Within about 36 hours my traffic was up by over 50%!

Via Google Analytics… (love that by the way) I could see where all of the new
traffic was coming from. Blogs…

What was surprising was that the comments were getting clicks. My thought was
that this must be someone checking the link but I’ll be damned if my Adsense wasn’t up
by 30% the next day. So, whoever is was… they were clicking my ads.

Even more surprising was the page rank of these sites. Amazing! How about MSN to give you an example.

I was so impressed, I’ve now dedicated a machine to just run TBS and I’m paying
a lot more attention to keywords and what I’m actually posting.

Can’t wait to see where Jared and crew take this…”

“Hi Everyone,

I just want to tell you guys I have had great success recently. Slowly but surely I have managed to get hundreds of links for my new sites.The PR has gone up and I am getting new links from PR 6,5, and 4 sites.

I am so happy to finally get some good results for my hard work!

Thanks Jared”

“On day 1 I picked a crappy site to try out TrackbackSpider, prior to posting the site it had 0 links, ‘ve only done 1 posting for this site, this is what’s happened so far;

Day 1 - before TrackBack Poster 0 links
after TrackBack Poster 18 links

Day 2 - 18 links

Day 3 - 313 links (I couldn’t believe it)”

Member #4

“I’m seeing major SERPs position changes after running TBS; I’m now getting addicted to finding new search phrases, and getting deep links to my site(s). I have a dedicated box running day and night. Very happy so far..”

Member #5

“Submitted to a small database (only 737) last weekend with a 4% success rate. Not brilliant but OK. My domain had only (just) been spidered by Googlebot for the first time.

This weekend I’m rated No.1 for my main phrase (one word) and No.3 for that word split into two. Without going into details they are two words that are very commonly used on sites and that No.3 is out of… 231,000,000 competing pages in Google. No.1 and No.3. In a week. Oh, and the domain and site build are less than a month old - in fact, the site is virtually empty with just some placeholder text in a template.

Trackback Spider is the only thing to have been used during the period to promote the domain in question as I was using it as a test.”

“I have been using TS for only 2 weeks and it came at the same time that I threw myself in at the deep end with the whole SEO idea - I have serious pc and marketing skills but NOT when it comes to ‘programming’ - it has always been over my head.Although I feel as though I have been ‘dragged through a hedge backwards’ over the last 2 weeks and my learning curve has been seriously steep I want to tell anyone out there who reads this forum that I think TS is awesome.

The Truth? - I have put up just 2 sites in my first week - the first site is already pulling visitors PURELY through the implementation of TS with 1 of my keywords being number ONE in Google - Jared - if you’re listening - remember one thing - “When the Student is ready, the Teacher will appear!” - (To everyone else I am trying to say that I think you have found the right teacher)”

This update covers the #5 concern for the Trackback Spider program.

(We already addressed concern #1, #2, #3 and #4)

CONCERN: What is the quality of the backlinks and how many can I expect to be able to build in a month? Also what about the nofollow attribute?

BACKGROUND:  The quality of links is the main reason I originally found Trackbacks to be so lucrative. You can get links from a variety of ip addresses (unlike Blog Farms and Blog & Ping). There are links available in the PR 6 - PR 4 range. Since Trackback Spider builds you a custom database of blogs containing Trackback links (Including all the statistics about the blog post page you will be getting the link from). Your database will be highly relevant to your target market. Also you will get to use a variety of anchor text for each of the pages in your website. Combine this with a consistent velocity of link building. You have a powerful formula for backlink success. All with quality and relevant links.

In Underground Link Building Volume 1 I illustrate all these strategies and Trackback Spider will fulfill each and every one. In the report I also mention that I build between 10-20 links per day per website. And then overtime I step this number up after I am indexed and already have a good link base. Now the number of links you can build depends a lot on the market. Some keywords yield more results than others. But I always expect to build between 300-600 links per month per site.

Something to mention is I organize my trackback database by the highest PR first. So I am hitting the highest valuable links first this way to have FAST indexing into the search engines. Now it is possible that you will ignore my advice and set Trackback Spider to post 1,000 links per day. But this in my opinion is shooting yourself in the foot. You will raise flags all over the place and be insta-banned.

Now I have also received a lot of emails regarding the nofollow attribute and anti-spam plugins. Below is a screenshot of the spider job setup. Please note the checkbox “Ignore nofollow”. If this is unchecked this feature will basically throw away any blog that contains the nofollow tag. Now something to keep in mind some blogs have nofollow tag in the comment section, but not in the trackback section.

As for the anti-spam plugins I cannot talk about this on the blog. You will simply have to signup to see for yourself. Alls that I can tell you is we are way ahead of the curve on this. And you will be amazed at one of out little tricks. Plus with us all working together we will be able to identify more areas for improvement month after month.

ANSWER: The links you build from Trackback Spider are highly relevant and of high quality.

BOTTOM LINE: Trackback Spider is designed totally around the concept of appearing natural to the search engines and building quality links over time. We are dedicated to ensuring that the success rate of your link building efforts continue to remain effective month after month.

This update covers the #4 concern for the Trackback Spider program.

(We already addressed concern #1, concern #2, and concern #3)

CONCERN: Will the Trackback Spider system cause my site to get banned from the search engines and will I have anonymity when I use it?

BACKGROUND:  Let me first address the fear of getting banned from the search engines. This can happen a number of ways. One being you set off an alarm in the algorithm that flags your site as spam (as I detail in Underground Link Building Volume 1). If you follow my recommendation this won’t be an issue. The other way is a manual inspection of you site. A manual inspection can occur for a variety of reasons. This method is based on the content of you site. So if it is a machine generated site it probably won’t pass manual inspection.

Now there is a technique called Google Bowling. Basically Google tried to crack down on all of the websites buying site-wide links to increase their link popularity. Well in the process they created a great little loophole. Instead of buying site-wide links for my own site, now I will just buy them and point them to my top competitors. (cue evil laugh). So if you were number 2 on Google for your top keyword. Just target the #1 guy and begin building nasty links to them.

Buying site-wide links is not the only method for this. There are several techniques to try and affect your competitors ranking. But I won’t go into them here. I personally think this is the wrong place to put your focus. And Google simply denies that this is even possible.

ANSWER: Trackback Spider will not get you banned if your site will pass a manual inspection and you follow our advice. The links that are built are dripped slowly overtime from different IP addresses using a variety of anchor texts. Appearing 100% natural to the search engines. At least this is how I teach you to use Trackback Spider. If you turn up the volume to fast you more than likely you will get banned. This could happen in a couple of weeks or months. It all depends on how aggressive you are.

Now let me discuss the concern about anonymity. Trackback Spider works through another program called Tor. Check it out here.

Tor basically will reduce the risk of sophisticated traffic analysis by distributing your transactions over several places on the internet, so no single point can link your destination. The idea is similar to using a twisty, hard-to-follow route in order to throw off somebody who is tailing you-and then periodically erasing your footprints. Instead of taking a direct route from source to destination, data packets on the Tor network take a random pathway through several servers that cover your tracks so no observer at any single point can tell where the data came from or where it’s going.

Here are some diagrams showing how it works:

By combining the power of Tor with Trackback Spider you can be assured that your anonymity is safe.

BOTTOM LINE: Trackback Spider is designed totally around the concept of appearing natural to the search engines. All of your links will be built over time in a natural way. Also by combining the power of Tor with Trackback Spider you can be assured that your anonymity is safe.

This update covers the #3 concern for the Trackback Spider program.

(We already addressed concern #1 and concern #2)

CONCERN: Will this work for any type of website?

BACKGROUND:  If you read the report Underground Link Building Volume 1 then you know that Trackbacks were designed as a way to allow one blog owner to notify another blog owner they are talking about them on their blog. Trackbacks were basically designed to make it very easy for blog owners to do reciprocal linking.

ANSWER: I don’t want to sugar coat this for you. Trackback Spider is a system that exploits the Trackback system to get one-way backlinks to your websites. And since Trackback Spider tricks the system it doesn’t require you to have a blog to get links. It can be used for any type of website blog or not. If you need links Trackback Spider is the answer.

There are some precautions that you must follow in order to keep a site from getting banned. One of these being the speed at which you build the links. If you decide to turn Trackback Spider on full power then this will work in the short term, but there are no guarantees how long you will stay in the indexes.

BOTTOM LINE: Trackback Spider will work for any type of website.

This update covers the #2 concern for the Trackback Spider program.

(We already addressed concern #1 (that “when we release this program then this killer technique will stop working just like blog and ping”)

CONCERN: This technique sounds great but looks like a lot of work to do. Is it truly fully automated like so many claim and is it easy to setup?

BACKGROUND:  When we first released our report on Trackbacks called the Underground Link Building Volume 1, I got all kinds of emails from people expressing how hard it looks to actually find these trackback links and then post to them on a daily basis. And a lot of people were concerned you would need to be a programming wiz kid just to use Trackback Spider.

And it is true so often that program developers claim to have fully automated something when in fact it is only a small step in that direction.

ANSWER: While this concern is understandable, this is clearly one of the those “no worry” situations. Trackback Spider has been designed with the end user in mind.

Yes, it has a lot of features.

Yes, it is an industrial strength application.

Yes, it is fully automated (more on this later)

HOWEVER, it is extremely easy to use…even for the novice SEO. I will give you an example I have a business partner, Mark, who is let’s say is “technically challenged”. I needed Mark to help me test Trackback Spider on his computer.

HOWEVER, Mark is one of those unfortunate souls that have no interest in SEO or any knowledge of computer programs.

In other words, Mark was “dreading” loading up Trackback Spider on his personal computer (Yes, it’s a desktop application!).

But after going through the setup process and loading a Trackback job, he said:

“I was completely surprised at how easy this program is to use. And I was stunned that I understood everything so well. If I can set this thing up anyone can.”

And here is the kicker - Mark didn’t even read the Quick Start guide (which will help you get started in minutes). And he didn’t watch the Tutorial Videos (which show in detail how to get setup properly and ensure you stay under the radar).

BOTTOM LINE: While Trackback Spider is rich in features and is very powerful it is extremely easy to use and fully automates the task of dripping new high quality backlinks to all of your sites on a daily basis. And it will work for both professionals and newbie’s alike.

I want being apart of Trackback Spider to be an enjoyable and profitable privilege. You can be ensured you will receive top-notch customer service, constant updates and regular improvements by the programming team. Trackback Spider will never be “done,” it will just keep getting better and better, month after month.

Compare that with other software programs you may have purchased where the customer service is non-existent, your emails go unanswered, and the company goes out of business leaving you with outdated, useless code. Not going to happen with Trackback Spider.

We have heard five major concerns about the impending release of Trackback Spider. This update will address the #1 concern…

CONCERN: If we release this program then this killer technique for obtaining high quality relevant backlinks on demand will die and stop working just like blog and ping lost it effectiveness.

BACKGROUND: Once upon a time there was a great technique to get massive sites indexed in Google in less than 48 hours and sometime in under 24 hours. This technique is called blog and ping. I credit the invention of blog and ping to Jeff Johnson who revealed this to the world in John Reese’s Traffic Secrets Course. Not soon after the release of Traffic Secrets Rick Butts a budding Traffic Equalizer user created some free videos and soon there after he created a service to do Blog and Ping all automatically; On a pay per ping basis. One of his packages was around $1,000 a month.

Well it didn’t take long before every internet marketer, traffic equalizer user, and anyone else wanting to get indexed NOW was using his system. It was only a year later when I started to see the technique begin to become ineffective. What was once a golden ticket to get indexed on demand, now only worked sometimes, and that is what led me to find another solution…

Most great SEO systems are rendered completely ineffective soon after they hit the market. The creators sell so many copies that the technique is killed in short order.

I don’t want that to happen with Trackback Spider. Because I don’t want to see my own personal cash flow dry up.

And I know if I just sat on this, I could watch as my own websites effortlessly launched, got ranked and automatically grew month after month.

SOLUTION: Now believe me I have the same concerns with Trackback Spider that you do. After all we have to worry about both our SEO business AND our software business. It is so effective in what it does (building one-way backlinks). I have to severely limit its availability.

Look, we’ve all seen owners hawk their latest software products while swearing up and down they’ll only let a certain number of people in.

And then the next thing you know, they’re letting anybody with a working credit card in the door. Very quickly, that software becomes ineffective and we are left to suffer because are favorite technique no longer works.

I’m not going to let that happen with Trackback Spider.

Now here is the deal. There are currently thousands of people on the waiting list for Trackback Spider, but I am only going to allow 300 to join period. Not 400, not 350, not even 301.

This is the only way I can ensure that Trackback Spider’s array of techniques will stay underground and continue to work month after month, year after year. Now those lucky members who act when we release Trackback Spider will get to use it on any and all of their websites (no limits).

BOTTOM LINE: We will be limiting the availability of Trackback Spider to only 300 members.

The question I seem to be getting a lot is what is the point of Trackback Spider if most blogs now use the rel=”nofollow” tag?

And I would have to respond some blogs do use the nofollow tag, but even the ones that use it still may not be using it for trackback links.

But who’s to say that links with the “nofollow” tag aren’t at all valuable. From my experience they are.

Also keep in mind that the “nofollow” attribute is still relatively new and not all blog owners keep their blog updated to the latest and greatest software. From my research this is the case more times than not. So there is still plenty of opportunity to get links from blogs.

I recently read a great post about the “nofollow” tag over at Search Engine Journal.

Basically they polled some search engines about how they deal with the “nofollow” attribute. What they found was that even though Google will absolutely ignore these links. Yahoo still uses these links for indexing and Ask.com’s spiders will totally ignore the attribute.

The bottom line is that Trackback Spider allows you to either ignore the “nofollow” attribute or to eliminate any blog with the “nofollow” attribute. I have done tests searching with and without and it really has not made a significant difference in the total links I can find.

And most importantly even with the “nofollow” tag you can still receive traffic from these links. So there is still an inherent value in a relevant link to your site.

Trackback Spider is set to launch Tuesday May 29th at 1200 CST.

On another note, I have been getting lots and lots of questions and comments about Trackback Spider. In the next few days I will be elaborating on the answers to those questions. The top five questions/concerns are:

-QUESTION: Won’t releasing Trackback Spider kill the effectiveness of this technique?

-SHORT ANSWER: In order to prevent this we will severly limit Trackback Spiders availability.

-QUESTION: Is it truly fully automated like so many claim and is it easy to setup?

-SHORT ANSWER: Trackback Spider fully automates the finding thousands of trackback links and intelligently manages all the posting. Plus it is a very simple program to use.

-QUESTION: Will this work for any type of website? Blog, Page Generated, White Hat, ect.

-SHORT ANSWER: YES, it will work for any type of site. TS has several proprietary systems to allow this.

-QUESTION: Will Trackback Spider cause my site to get banned and will I have anonymity when I use it.

-SHORT ANSWER: Not if you follow our instructions you won’t get banned and for anonymity TS runs through a system called Tor.

-QUESTION: How many links can I expect to be able to build in a month? Also what about the nofollow attribute?

-SHORT ANSWER: I recommend 300-600 links per month per site, but you can get more than this. TS does allow you to search for only sites without the rel=nofollow tag if you choose.

Of course, the “short answers” above are just that - short answers. I will be filling you in on all of these questions/concerns.

I have been getting tons of emails lately. Saying hey Jared when are you going to release Trackback Spider? MAN…I can hardly wait.

Right now all that I can say is soon…

Here’s why. We decided to add some features that were originally planned for a later update. But I wanted to make sure any TS user would have access to the same Trackback Arsenal I am using personally.

Especially this one feature code named: Enigma

It’s so effective it’s scary.

I can’t give you any details on how it works, what it does, ect.

But, trust me you will thank me for including it in Version 1.0, it supercharges the rest of Trackback Spider.

Now as you can imagine you don’t polish personal applications like you do commercial ones. This application was created solely for me originally, but since I have decided to release it I had to bring it up to my standards for a commercial application. And in the midst of this I discovered some better methods and even some new tricks.

You will benefit directly from the extra time being spent now making everything perfect.

I also have been getting alot of email about various concerns about TS. I will be posting some more here shortly answering your questions and concerns. And providing you with more details on exactly how Trackback Spider works, and why it is going to be your secret weapon in winning the link building wars.

Be on the look out for another update here soon.
