Im sure Brad will have his panties in a bunch over this, but since he had no problem taking my credit card, Im getting my money's worth. The idea is great but the reality is this is not a prime time link building system. The network is pathetically thin and of poor quality as best I can tell. I have written many articles with high acceptance rates and the truth is you burn through the network very quickly. Where the articles are published is not disclosed and the reason I suspect is that the blog network is very weak (contrary to the excuses they make as t why they do not disclose). The latest insult to injury is a new promo for an Elite version where Brad claims he opens up 400 to 500 of his very best blogs with high PR rank (appatently defined as over a 2) and throws in a bonus of another hundred which are between 0-2.,,, oh goody some bonus PR 0 blog sites. Of course there is a handsome monthly fee for this privilege of special access to the good stuff. My question is what the heck are they charging the regular subscribers for who bought into the orginal offer. I guess they continue to get access to a substandard network. Its really quite shameful from my vantage point. My opinion is this is slick marketing of an idea with no real value. I ADVISE YOU KEEP YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!

If Callen really believes in this product then he ought to invest in building a credible network.

Hey Baz,

I'm still using it (well rather my link builder) as a complement to some other submission softwares.

After posting this review I have not continued tracking which sites publishing my articles are from the SLV network.

If I can find some time I'll try to run a new test. Thanks for asking.

Any chance of an update to this review on your findings now?

My personal experience shows blog quality to be really poor – lots low quality blogs thrown up purely for this purpose, no authority, barely indexed, with poor templates on cheap keyword stuffed 99c domains. And poor quality control of the articles published..!

Hi Mikael,

You're not wrong. Unique content is still king and a blog with 100% unique content will be stronger than a blog with spun articles. Mainly because the majority of people don't know how to spin articles properly.

If you spin your articles well enough you can get the same results as if you were using a new article. But this involves spinning at several levels – at least paragraph + sentence level.

Spinning at the words level only will give poor results.

Thank you for actually giving a real review and not just rewriting the sales letter from Brad's site. Hugely beneficial.

My main concern with the service is in the "spinning" as spun articles will never be as beneficial as unique articles and site that accepts spun content will never have the same quality as sites that accepts unique content only. Am I wrong and shouldn't I be concerned about that?

Thanks
Mikael
