These days nearly every SEO understands that the the most essential element to receiving high rankings in Google, Yahoo, & MSN is getting high quality links back to your webpages. Understanding that is the easy part of the equation. The difficult part is how to get those good links back to your sites.

I am not a believer in using just one system for building backlinks, I like to use multiple methods. But there’s no doubt that LinkVana is a great addition to my other link building strategies.

What is Linkvana? Quite simply, it’s a “blog network” where only members can make blog entries to the network which includes a link back to their own page (links are only allowed to G rated real “white hat” websites.) And yes I said “a” link. Each posting can only have one link.

This isn’t a blog network where one blog entry is posted to hundreds of blogs (which in my opinion makes that blog network way too obvious) but instead each blog entry is only posted once so there is never a duplicate content problem. Because of their strong stance against duplicate content they require all blog entries to be entirely original hand written content. The posts only have to be 100 words so it’s not too big of an issue. They also offer an writing service where they will have someone write your posts for you for only $2 per post.

One of the best things (and the first thing I noticed) about Linkvana is how nice the user interface is. This is an extremely easy service to use. I only wish all of the services I use had such a user friendly interface.

After ease of use, the second thing that really jumped out to me about this system was the high quality of the domains in the system. Most of them have a very high pagerank and they are all at least one year old. Some are as old as 7 years! The high quality of the backlinks is what sets linkvana apart.

If you are considering joining linkvana then I definitely recommend that you do it as soon as possible because this blog network has a member limit of only 300 people.
