Linkamotion is a private high PR blog network that I have been using over the past months. This service is a lot like BMR or Blog Blueprint. Similar to Blog blueprint, it allows you to submit spun articles (instead of 100% unique articles as BMR requests) to the owner’s private blog network. I like to try services like these because it’s a lot of additional ip addresses that can link to your site that you can’t get any other way.
How Does it Work?
With linkamotion you need to submit 150+ word posts that contain one link towards your site. you can have up to 10 “projects” which are basically different websites you want to receive links to. Each project will posts 5 of it’s assigned uploaded blog posts per day so you can have 5 posts/day * 10 times = 50 posts a day published to the owner’s network. It has a bit more flexibility then BB for uploading spun articles and my favorite method is the one in the video below where I use a program called “macro gamer” to simply do the repetitive task of submitting a spun article in TBS to the linkamotion blog network wordpress installation. Once that’s done, I select all 20 posts per pages and put them as “pending review” and in the correct project.
What I like most about the network:
Very clean and simple UI to use since it’s basically wordpress. Once you have your “macros” setup to upload your articles it’s very quick. I let it running on my portable while on my main computer.
What I wish they added
It’s too bad that as far as I know they do not have a way to find unindexed posts. They say they build backlinks to your posts and it might be true because I do see a fairly good indexation rate but it would be nice to know ALL the url’s so I can get them all indexed and boosted :).
Results
I saw medium results. What I basically mean by this is that I used it for many of my websites over the 10 projects and I saw ranking increases for all of them steadily over time. Some page 3+ rankings getting to page 1, some #3-5 rankings getting to #1-3 etc. I don’t think this is one of the only networks someone should use but it’s definitely on par with Article Ranks as far as results go. Nothing amazing but definitely helpful. After about 3 months I probably used a lot of the Linkamotion network so I am trying out blog blueprint as a replacement now as my next “high PR private blog network” since links from the same sources have diminishing returns… So far my results with BB are not superior to linkamotion but it’s only been 3 weeks and BB does offer links to all the submitted articles, I’ll be trying to get them indexed and maybe the results will be superior.
As a newbie, I think AMR is still a must have purchase but after that, cycling months between Linkamotion/AR/And BB if I get the same results as Becker :), is probably a good idea.
If you want to see how I use macro gamer to make uploading articles look at below:

Let me know if you have any questions! Also if you have certain networks you would like me to try let me know, I have a few in mind currently that I want to try, I might add yours to the list.
Nice review, I am about to add another network to my portfolio.
Whats you favorite network?
What network has given you the best results?
For the costs and time involved, I had the most success with AMR. After that, ezarticlelink has been very good for me (for that one I clearly saw “amazing” results many times). After those 2 though… It’s really a tie between the rest, AR/ Linkamotion/BB/BMR all seem to perform similarly. BMR gives me faster results but as I previously said in another post I lose those rankings a few months later AND they require unique content (making it much more expensive in time or outsourcing then other networks). I’m trying 2 new private networks this month, we’ll see what the results are and if any of them become a clear winner as first pick :).
Great review, like it because you can spin with linkamotion, BMR is a bit restrictive with this.
I didn’t know about ezarticlelinks before today – will give it a try, I’ve got an e-commerce site with 1000’s of pages that need links 🙂
Hopefully ezarticles will be able to do it for me, Thanks for the positive no BS information your giving here.
Thanks, John
I subscribed to Linkamotion and I’m quite happy with it.
Still too early to see if it is working properly or not.
The only thing I don’t understand is about the admin page where you can see “published” posts and “pending” posts…
What about the “rejected” posts? Are they classified as “pending” ?
Thanks.
I never got an article rejected as far as I can remember but they would probably not be shown as pending.
Have you notice any drops in the rank after using linkamotion for a while?
This is what I’m experiencing at the moment.
I’m not sure if to stick with it or change with another network like BB.
No I can’t say that I have. A lot of things can affect a ranking though. But ultimately a network should not DROP your rankings after you started using it. It could make you lose the rankings it previously gave you though if you don’t do backlinks for a month+ (though usually things are pretty stable for me).
