simple logic that you have mentioned like checking the robots.txt file and the indexing of the url which I know but have not struck my mind. Thanks for sharing this info.

I will immediately start doing those.

To everyone:

An important thing I forgot to mention is that some sites don't accept free email addys (such as gmail, hotmail, yahoo) for registration (again, to combat spam). So be prepared for that as well

If you don't have your own website, you might want to try out something like http://10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/index.html as a fix for this.

Thanks for the thoughtful article. I have been using Angela's links for several months now. I have seen some benefits in traffic and have seen some backlinks recognized by the search engines. I have to admit that it is not 100%. I have tried to follow her instructions and not spammed the sites.

I have found it beneficial and worth the cost and the effort. I have seen some of the keywords I have been trying to get rising in the searches. All in all I have been pleased. However, it is not 100% effective and it really does take time to help your sites improve.

One little thing I have done is something you mentioned in your article. You can register separately in these sites with separate emails and separate user names for each site you wish to promote. This approach might take a little longer and require good record keeping. However, it is much better than just spamming a site and listing dozens of different domains under one user name.

Thanks again for the great article and for giving me some insights into how to tell if the links are still good.

Matt Cutts or no Matt Cutts, I know that without backlinks there is no traffic (unless you are talking of ppc, affiliates or Jvs, but personally I find them harder than seo).

Yes one of my friends also no longer uses Angela's backlinks, the problem being "stability". Angela's backlinks are good when you launch a site but after that you must follow up with your own backlinks. Like this blog and my fatlossplr.com site were initially fed with Angela's backlinks. Eventually I and my backlink builder learnt how to find our own "exclusive" links.

To be honest even my backlink builder refuses to do Angela's backlinks (personally I have refused a couple of customers who wanted me to build Angela's backlinks for them), so I have kept them just for myself, lol.

So, in short, use Angela's backlinks if you like (follow the approach in the above article), but also complement them by finding backlinks from other sources (see my ultimate secrets articles, for example)

I must confess that I am a skeptic.

Sure, I know that Matt Cutts says that backlinks are important. Or does he?

I would love to see a verified results for Angela's backlinks program. I was a member and then dropped out because, well, I just wasn't sure it was worth all the effort.

Any proof about the power of Angela's backlinks?
