Default Backlinking System - Why Is There No Interest?

I have created a new backlinking system. I have spent about 2 years of my free time creating this system so it works the way I want it to.

To me it seems like a no brainer that people would want to join but so far, I'm not getting any traction.

My site is membership based. Each member gets a Content Page to post their link and applicable site information. When published, the Content Page contains additional membership information so the page also acts as a landing/registration page for new members. When new members join through that (Sponsor) page, their backlink is added to a Genealogy Code that new members install on their web site. The new member also gets a Content Page for their promotional efforts. As new members join, the system moves the backlink down 1 line in the Genealogy code. So your backlinks are distributed by both your sponsor and by your own promotional efforts.

A few features of the system

- Your Backlinks are created over time so link growth appears natural.
- Your Backlinks are added to web pages applicable to the category you join.
- Your Backlinks get on pages with a minimum PR value of 3.
- You can change the keyword and title tags when ever you want
- Your Backlinks are One Way Text Links - Not Reciprocal

So I'm just wondering why I can't get any traction on this.

I realize the site doesn't look very pretty but my system eliminates so much tedious time and effort looking for sites to put your link on.

I understand that people may be afraid of getting banned by Google (or penalized), as Google is known to come on strong sometimes against automated systems but with my system, real people install the code on their own site just like as if you were doing a link exchange with another web site and the code changes with each new joining member so the footprint is always different.

I'm also looking for Beta testers to use the system. I'm not charging for the service at this point.

Maybe someone can shed some light on what the problem is.

I sure appreciate any feedback you have.

Are you asking for a site review or simply promoting your "system"?

The header is rather boring and the page itself is rather boring as well. There's nothing that grabs your attention.

There's no real need for 2 links to on each page to itself. Breadcrumbs would be better for the top nav bar.

There's no about us page.

The register page is not a "register" page and is rather confusing.

Overall, there's really nothing that's going to grab the attention of a visitor.

Site needs a redesign IMO.

Looks and smells like a "bad neighborhood".
I would never use your service.

They say you can't judge a book by it's cover.. in this case your being judged right off the bat as the site is not professionally designed and for the service it offers it just missing the boat.

You might have something but it looks like nobody is getting it cause they don't "get it".

I agree with CrankyDave .. needs a redesign.

Sorry..

I'll offer my opinion...

In a nutshell your site is about gaining/doing(in no particular order)...

-Linking
-Ranking
-PR

Combine those three things and it sends a "message" no SE is going to be particularly fond of, especially Google when it comes to PR, and is going to attract those interested in trying to game the SE's.

Default Re: Backlinking System - Why Is There No Interest?

When it comes to ranking in SEs, I think we are all trying to game the SE. We all know that quality backlinks will help to increase SE rankings. So we play by that game and search for them and do the one-by-one link placements. We submit to directories, we submit articles, we send email invitations, we post to forums, and so on. There are sites that focus specifically on helping you find reciprocal links even though they don't hold much weight today. There are sites that help you find more site traffic. etc. There are software and web applications that also do the same thing. More links, more traffic, more bookmarks, more diggs, etc. So my site of putting backlink partners together in the same industry category and supporting each other's backlinking efforts would seem like a much needed and viable concept.

So even though my system can produce quality backlinks in a more efficient way, I think I am hearing you say, that they don't join because they don't understand what the system does and what they need to do. Is that right?

Let's say, I take care of all that. What is your opinion of the concept? Is it entirely a problem of site design.

It's easy to go to a site and just look at it and pronounce judgement. And it's easy to fix providing you have enough time, money and expertise. But if the concept is faulty, then that's an entirely different matter and it needs to be fixed or abandoned without spending time on aesthetics and navigation.

Your thoughts?

Thanks

Default Re: Backlinking System - Why Is There No Interest?

Let's start with your last point...

This is the "site review" board. I looked at your site and gave my opinions of what I thought.

A so far the "concept" goes, it's a scheme. That's exactly how you are presenting it. One that would be very easy for the SE's to discover and determine who's in the "network" allowing them (at the very least) to devalue links and/or sites.

There's been a lot of "similar" ones in the past. More or less directory style where you pick and choose sites within your genre.

A particular amount of toolbar PR is required. Google would most likely frown on this and could easily decide to say that it's "selling their" PR via an exchange.

Links are purposefully "manipulated" in order to give them a "natural" or "one way" appearance for the purpose of gaining SE value. This is how you are promoting it. Again, not a good idea IMO.

What I might suggest is that you do a search for 'link exchange' and take a look at some of the sites.

Compare their visual appeal to yours. Compare "how" they're promoting their "system" and "what" they are promoting to your site.

This may give you some ideas and some things to think about.
