No-Hands SEO Review

No-Hands SEO is a desktop-based Windows program that promises to take all of the work out of search engine optimization. It's supposed to do so by automating the backlink building or "off-page" part of SEO. Beyond that, it's not all that clear what exactly the software does, if the sales-page is all you have to go by. Read this review to see what this product is all about and to learn whether or not it's worth investing in.  

Overview

The main selling points for No-Hands SEO are that it's supposed to be very highly automated and extremely easy to use and that it comes at a one-time cost. Both are attractive selling points, since SEO software often comes with a considerable learning curve and most tools in a link-builder's arsenal, such as automation tools, blog networks and private networks, come with a monthly cost. There are many different types of SEO and link-building tasks, so let's begin by taking a look at what exactly No-Hands SEO actually does for you.

What it Actually Does

Here's a short list of the functions No-Hands SEO can perform, followed by some more detailed descriptions below:

• Post your site to whois and statistics sites to get it indexed quickly.
• Find keyword-relevant pages, where comments can be left.
• Spam blog comments with links to your site.
• Spam trackbacks with your link.
• Ping pages where links were created.

You begin by starting the program and creating profiles for one or several websites. You do this by entering the URL of each site, keywords that will be used to find commentable pages on relevant sites and your desired anchor texts for the links that the software will create. Here's what the user interface looks like, for creating profiles: No-Hands SEO then crawls your site's pages and starts scraping for blogs and other pages where comments can be left, based on the keywords you entered. After this simple setup step, the program is quite true to it's "No-Hands" name, since you can now simply click the play-button and it will automatically start posting to whois-sites and attempt to leave comments and trackbacks with your links inside. It will also notify various pinging services of any successfully created links. At this point you can basically walk away and just let it do it's thing. If you want to, there are also more options to play with and the program does allow for a certain degree of fine-tuning. For example, you can set it to search for pages with a minimum PageRank before attempting to leave a comment or trackback. You can also add your own footprint searches for both trackbacks an comments: Since it's a spamming tool, it's also quite prudent of the creators to include proxy-support. With heavy use, having sets of proxies to rotate through will significantly increase your success rates, as you'll end up "burning out" IP addresses by getting them blacklisted in anti-spam services.

Conclusion

No-Hands SEO really is very easy to use, at least, as long as you don't get into all of the more advanced options. Despite this, I can't recommend it and there are two main reasons for this:

1. It's a spamming tool and all of the links it can create for you are of the high-volume, high-failure-rate, low-impact variety. In fact, everything it does is high-volume and extremely low-impact.
2. If you're going to spam (which I don't recommend), then you might want to consider going all-out and investing in the equally priced and much more fully-featured ScrapeBox.

Expanding on the first point, there's also something of an issue with over-promising and under-delivering, when it comes to No-Hands SEO. The promise is that it will do all of the tedious SEO tasks for you, but the reality is that it only does tasks that are so low-yield, you probably wouldn't do them manually, anyway. If you want to get pages ranked for anything but the lowest-competition keywords, you'll still have to go and build some higher-quality links, using some other method. Bottom line: I don't recommend this product.
