Summary:

Automated Link Building Tool

Update: Click Here for my SENuke XCr Review

SENuke XCr was released in September 19th, 2012. Check out my SENuke XCr Review to learn about the new features that were added and how they make an already great link building tool better.

If you don’t know what SENuke is all about than I recommend you read this review first and than check out the new SENuke XCr Review which only covers the new features that were added recently.

SENuke X is finally here. If you are a long time SENuke user as I am than you probably know how much we all waited to say this. SENuke X has been mentioned first about a year and a half ago and was scheduled to launch about 100 times already but now it is finally here.

It seems the wait was worth it as SENuke X is a completely new piece of software with some major major improvements and enhancements.

SENuke X has been out for a few months and after using and testing it out I finally decided to provi\de you with my impressions. The original SENuke has been the leading all in one SEO automated solution since 2008 and none of the competitors really came close.

So how does the all new SENuke X compares? Let’s dig in.

SENuke X Review

SENuke X is an automated link building software that will create backlinks automatically by submitting articles to article directories, submitting press releases, creating social bookmarks, uploading videos to video-sharing sites, creating forum and web 2.0 profiles and allowing you to ping and submit the RSS feeds of all the submission you make.

The Questions

When most people think about using a tool such as SENuke X they have some questions in mind and by finding the answers to these questions they will be able to make their decision of whether or not this tool is right for them.

Since I am not new to link building automation tools I figured I will ask the questions for you and than I will simply try to provide the best answers I can and structure my review around them. So the questions I came up with are:

  1. How automated is it?
  2. How many different link building sources can I submit to?
  3. What are the success rates?
  4. What is the learning curve?
  5. Does it work?

SENuke X First Impression – Faster, Better Looking & More Organized

Forget about the ugly user interface that the old SENuke was very known for. Say hello to the all new and very sleek looking SENuke X interface.

SENuke_X_01

With the old SENuke you needed a science degree or something similar to figure out how to put all of your link building campaigns in order. It was a real mess and even though I did manage to figure out how to go about getting things organized, with SENuke X this has been solved from the get go.

You can create complete link building campaigns that contain all of the various link building modules and the mess is gone. Everything is clear and organized so it is much easier to get around and figure out where everything is. Here is what Areeb had to say about the new look:

SENuke X has been completely re-written from scratch in a brand new technology. This has allowed us to do things that were technically impossible with the previous version of SENuke. If you look at the image above, you’ll notice that it’s much cleaner, better looking and more organized. Notice how the projects are now all visible on one screen instead of having small separate project files for each project…

SENuke X Modules

One of the big changes with SENuke X is the addition of new link building modules to the old and familiar ones that were already included in the original SENuke.

SENuke_X_02

As you can see in the image above SENuke X come with all of the following modules:

  • Niche Research Module
  • Account Creation Module
  • Social Network Module
  • Article Directory Module
  • Video Module
  • Social Bookmarking Module
  • RSS Module
  • Web 2.0 Profile Project
  • Forum Profiles
  • Press Release
  • Pinger
  • Indexer
  • Toolbox

If you want to read a detailed explanation about each and every module inside SENuke X than you should check out my SENuke Modules page. I didn’t see any reason to include all of that information inside this review as it would simply make it way too long.

SENuke X Supported Sources

SENuke X currently (August 2011) has the following number of supported sites:

  • 45 Social Network Sites
  • 98 Article Directories
  • 25 Social Bookmarking Sites
  • 29 Video Sharing Sites
  • 24 RSS Aggregators
  • 34 Press Release Sites
  • 93 Web 2.0 Profiles Sites
  • 429 Forum Profiles

That is a total of over 750 sites that SENuke X can automatically create accounts for you and submit your links to. This list changes all the time as some sites are being removed from the database once they no longer and new sites are added instead.

The more important aspect and one that most SENuke X users are probably not taking full advantage of (hint hint) is the ability to add your own list of sites to the software.

SENuke X Main Features

I wanted to point out the main features with SENuke X that I think set it apart from the competition. The following 3 features are completely new and first introduced with SENuke X:

SENuke X Wizard

SENuke X is an advanced piece of software and can be very intimidating at first. It has so many features and options that users can really get lost and have no idea how to get started making the most of it.

This is where the all new Step by Step Wizard comes in.

SENuke_X_Wizard

Clean looking and very detailed step by step instructions really make the SENuke X wizard great. It will allow any user including complete newbies to get link building campaigns running in no time. Very easy to follow thanks to the tip bubbles from Papa NukerSmile and the help bubbles which are attached to every box. Simply hover over the blue question mark images and you will get a detailed explanation about what needs to be done in that specific part of the process.

SENuke X Diagram Designer

The diagram designer as an essential piece of the wizard.

SENuke_X_Diagram_Designer

As you can see from the image above, the diagram designer will simply allow you to create your link building campaigns the easiest way possible. All you have to do is to simply select the type of link building project from the menu on the left and create your link building diagram in the middle section.

SENuke X will take that complex looking link building campaign, or any other that you will create and will automatically break it down into steps which will be completed according to the information you will enter during the various stages of the wizard.

SEnuke X comes with 14 ready made link building diagrams that you can use. These diagrams have been created by the SENuke X developers and by long time SENuke members and experts that took part in the beta testing phase.

SENuke X Review

These diagrams are great and you can be more than confident in using them but you should keep in mind that you are not the only one using SENuke X (hint hint) so you might want to change some things and maybe create your own link building diagram.

Something I didn’t really like is that you can’t access the diagram after you launched your campaign in order to edit it or add some new modules and you can’t access it in any other way other than by launching the wizard.

SENuke X Scheduler

This is probably the biggest and most anticipated feature of SENuke X. The scheduler allows you to create and schedule projects how ever you want. You can tell it to submit and entire project in a single day or to spread it out over a week or two. You can decided whether it will distribute your link evenly (same amount every day) or randomly.

SENuke_X_Scheduler

SENuke X runs completely in the background and it really is set and forget (only if you are smart enough to use Captcha solving services). Even in case of crashes (which will probably happen from time to time) SENuke X has an auto-resume after crash feature which means it will simply resume from where is stopped without any interference from you.

Success Rates

The success rates is a crucial factor for every automated software. I mean, what is the use of using an automated software if it doesn’t do what it should be doing, right?

The success rates can be divided into 2:

  • Account Creation– I tested this twice and here are the results:
    • In the first test I created accounts on 166 sites. 151 accounts were created successfully which is more than 90% success rate. I also timed the process and it took 6:39 minutes (I was using only 6 browsers and DeathbyCaptcha).
    • In the second test I created accounts fro 313 sites (I included the web 2.0 profiles).  273 sites accounts were creates successfully which is an 87% success rate. I also timed this process and it took just under 16 minutes (I used 10 browsers and DeathbyCaptcha).
  • Submissions – In general, the success rate I got over the last few months with SENuke X for my submissions has been over 75% which is a number I find to be great.

SENuke X Version 2.0 – Update August 9th, 2011

SENuke X version 2.0 was just released and this is the first major update for the software since it was launched back in April.

There are several major changes with SENuke X Version 2.0 that I would like to mention:

  • No More Browser Windows – SEnuke X has been converted to work without the web browser, using sockets only. This means that of the submissions and account creation is being done in the “background” over sockets.
    This change is huge as it means no more virus threats, no more crashes due to Internet Explorer which means better success rates and everything is much much much faster now!
  • New Sites and Bug Fixes – Most of the bugs that popped out over the past 4 months have been all resolved and ironed out and tons of new sites have been added to the software and more sites are coming in the near future.
  • New Captcha Solving OCR Technology – SEnuke X will now automatically solve about 40% of all CAPTCHA images without requiring any human intervention, for FREE. This basically means that the costs for solving captchas will drop by 40%.

These are the major changes and updates that SENuke X Version 2.0 brings. Pretty cool stuff and it just goes to show that the developers of this amazing tool are always trying to make it better and better.

SENuke X Review – Conclusion

So, let me conclude this SENuke X Review by simply going back to the questions I mentioned at the beginning.

The Answers

  1. How automated is it? The answer is pretty simple. SENuke X is the most automated software of its kind and it really is as close as can be to a set and forget link building tool.
  2. How many different link building sources can I submit to? SENuke X supports almost 800 sites that you can use to build links with. You can scroll back up to the supported sites and see the breakdown of sites.
  3. What are the success rates? As I have shown above, SENuke X account creation success rates are above 90% and submissions rate are above 75%. These numbers are great in my opinion and they sure do justify the time that SENuke X will save you creating and submitting to all these accounts.
  4. What is the learning curve? Thanks to the great step by step wizard I would say that is would be much easier for newbies to make the most out of SENuke X than it was with the original SENuke which did require quite some time in order to fully understand how to make the most of it.
  5. Does SENuke X work? YES. SENuke X works. If it didn’t work than it wouldn’t be here, more than 3 years after first being released. There are countless success stories on the SENuke forum and I can say from my own personal experience that it works and works great.

Final Words

The bottom line is that SENuke X is the best all in one link building automated software, by far. If some people claimed that the competitors are gaining on the original SENuke I am sure that they will now agree that SENuke X is light years ahead of the competition and with consistent updates it will surly remain on top for years to come.

You will be glad to know that you can try out SENuke X for free for a period of 14 days and thank to the wizard, you should be able to decide whether it is good for you or not within that time frame.

SENuke X FREE Trial

SENuke X Discount

SENuke is not cheap as should be expected from such an advanced tool that doesn’t really have competition. SENuke X monthly price has always been one of the main reasons for complaints about the software and why many decided not to get their own copy. I am going to offer you 2 methods that can lower your monthly price of the SENuke X quite substantially.

The first method is to find one or two other folks that are interested in SENuke X and divide the price between you. This is possible since buying one SENuke X allows you to install it on up to 3 different computers. By finding 2 other guys you can drop the price to only $57/m and that is simply a no brainer in my book.

The second method is to simply go with the discount the SENuke people came up with. After clicking on this link – SENuke X Discount – you will need to login to your SENuke account in case you have one and if not, you will simply need to signup (a very short and free process). After you will login you will be directed to the SENuke X Discount offer which will allow you to get SENuke X for only $108/m. Not as cheap as getting it with 2 other guys but it is still $40 cheaper than the regular price and that will save you almost $500 every year.

HI there!

I am just building my website and I am as Newbie as it gets. Seriously, I know practically nothing except that SEO is very important to my online business. Would someone like me be able to understand SENukeX? Or is it more for those who have more knowledge about internet marketing?

Thank you so much,

Kamilla

Hi Kamilla,

Since you are saying you are as newbies as they get than I strongly recommend you avoid jumping straight to the best automated link building tools. You should first learn and understand what SEO and link building is all about.

I recommend you check out Backlink Battleplan as it will help you better understand link building and how to do it manually using only free tools. I also wrote a review about it that you can check out at: Backlink Battleplan Review. Before you run you need to learn how to walk (hope that makes sense).

And in any case, SenukeX is not very complicated to use especially if you are already familiar with SEO and link building.

Hope I helped.

Thanks.

I am still fairly new with backlinking…so are you saying that I should wait until I’m fairly confident in my backlinking and have some good success before testing this out.

senuke July 16, 2011 at 9:49 am

Hi Nick,

I think that you should know the basics stuff about link building and SEO before you go about spending money on automated systems. Even though these are automated, they won’t do the job for you hands free. You still need to know how to go about setting up a link building campaign and in order to do that you need some basic understanding of SEO and link building.

This is just how I see things.

Thanks.

This piece of software requires any article spinning on our part before submission? Is Updates comes frequantly?

Reply

senuke August 12, 2011 at 10:29 am

Hi Pavan,

It doesn’t require it but you should use it as you will be submitting the article to various sites so you want the article to be a little different with each submission.

It integrates with The Best Spinner so you can spin article with a click of a button. It won’t be the best quality though. You can also download articles from EzineArticles according to a keyword you select.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

Hi Pavan,

Seems like I forgot to address the second part of your question. SENuke X is being updated regularly. Since it was launched it April 2011 there have been dozens of updates and it is now already in Version 2.0.

You can be sure that the developers are always working on making SENuke X better, adding more sites, removing failed sites and tweaking little things to make it work faster, better and easier for the users.

Ive just signed up and jumped straight in to the full package.

I’ve gotta say I’m blown away but overwhelmed. The automation is off the charts but it’s also got a learning curve to it. Fortunately the training videos are in depth.

Simon November 20, 2011 at 9:22 am

Hi

Is there any additional cost to using the Best Spinner. I currently use Article Samurai that is linked to Content Boss, this provides 50 spins a month free?

How many articles other material would I need to prepare to take advantage of the automation that Senuke contains?

Thanks

Hi Simon,

Not sure I understood your question. Can you explain a little better what you mean?

Thanks

If i join SENX and decide to quit will it remove all the articles,Book marks, RSSs etc if i decide to quit?

Regarding the article directories – i create an article and submit it, does that article get sent to a single directory, and i then spin it and it gets sent to a different directory?

New to SEO, needless to say:)

Reply

Dave November 25, 2011 at 12:25 am

Hi Daniel,

Since the sites you submit to using SENuke X are not owned by SENuke X no post you will submit will be deleted if you decide to quit.

About the article directories, you submit one spun article and SENuke X will take it and submit a different unique version of it to all the article directories in its database. You don’t need to submit manually to every article directory.

Hi I’m thinking of buying through your link. Can you answer me a question tho.. in the ‘discount’ part of this article you say there’s 2 options:

#1 buy it between 3 people because you can install it on 3 PCs

#2 buy it then use the discount reducing the price to around 100 per month

Does that mean if I use the discount I can’t install it on 3 computers?

Thanks in advance and could you please shoot me a quick email with a response.

Cheers,

-Chris

Dave December 7, 2011 at 8:47 am

Hi Chris,

I guess I should edit that part and make it more clear. If you use the discount you can still install the software on 3 computers.

Hope that helps.

Thanks.

I have been using senuke x for a few weeks and I think senuke is extremely over rated and presented as the top solution for getting your site indexed on the first pages of google. It has not worked for me this way. I have been nuking for weeks and my site stays on the same position, it has actually lowered its position in google.
It reached a 71 position a few days and dropped back to 100+ inmediately.

First of all i think that using SENUKE to position your website is not realistic. If google was that easy to master it would not be a multi million dolar business.
Google is a very sleek money making machine and makes millions of people from their need of an internet websites to actually being found. Every one wants to be found on the internet and there are so many websites around these days that it has become almost impossible to be found online, and google profits from this in a sleek way with their ripoff addwords “casino-like” scheme. Deposit your money into the google casino and watch your money being used as people visit your website. This is what has made google all the money , google sells people the ilusion to being found on the internet. But a visitor is not always sale. Ther is a 0.01% that actually buys after a visit.
And now comes senuke selling the “next” illussion to position your website in google.

Im sure google is aware of this and will do everything possible to block senuke success rate because if senuke would actually “perform” no one would be buying add-words no more and everyone would buy senuke instead. So it makes no sense at all.

And i have tried it and afther hours and hours of nuking my A** off i really see no success at all. There is no way to monitor your success rate with SENUKE.
You just nuke away and hope for a search engine to rank your page.

Hope is all you get and no real numbers, stats or guarantees. So i think SENUKE should be priced like any other normal software for a 30 to 50 US lifetime fee. You must atually be crazy to pay 140US /Month for a program that gives no real forecast of what will happen after you use it and pay the price.

IM not saying its a bad program, i think its a good program and it works fine with nice automation, but a program should be priced in regards to its success rate.
If i pay 147 a month i must make at least 1 to 2000 month to be able to pay the bill. and this program gives no real income at all.

So im sure the hackers now this and thats why the have cracked it already.

SENUKE is completely over rated. Believe me im using it for months and no real advantage at all.

Dave December 26, 2011 at 7:51 am

Hi Dan,

Using SENuke for a few weeks is not enough time to conclude it doesn’t work. Using SENuke do promote one site for a few weeks is even worse and you really can’t conclude it doesn’t work based on that. You are entitled for your opinion and you are not the only one that says SENuke doesn’t work but there are many that does say it work and work great.

Google is pretty easy to master, whether you like it or not. You are giving them too much credit and if you really think they have time to even think or talk about SENuke X than you are pretty much saying for yourself that SENuke is something Google should worry about. I seriously doubt that. Google have much bigger fish to fry.

I will agree and say that using SENuke X alone won’t work and that is not something you can build on. You need to use other link building methods and have an action plan for your entire link building process. The price is a simple matter of demand. If people are willing to pay for it (and it seems that many are willing) than there is no reason for them to lower the price. SENuke X is a pretty serious software and it a lot of work to get it to the level it is today and it was never a cheap tool to use.

You started with saying you are using it for weeks and ended with saying you are using it for months. There is a real big difference between the two.

The bottom line and the most important thing is that SENuke X is just a software. It is a tool. How well it will work depends mainly on the user operating it. There is no magic involved and it does have a serious learning curve. If it doesn’t work for you, than simply don’t use it. There are enough tools and link building methods out there to help you promote your site without SENuke and you can also simply outsource SENuke blasts for a few bucks on fiverr and that may be a better solution for you.

Hey Dave,

Do you still use SenukeX? Or do you just use private blog networks at the moment? I am thinking of buying it, because when I promote my sites using blog networks only, they tend to rank very well at first and then for some reason they get slapped. I guess I need to diverse my linking a little bit, what do you think?

Matt

Dave January 31, 2012 at 10:31 pm

Hi Matt,

I am not using SENuke X right now. A few months ago I decided to stop and see if I can get the same results without it and so far, so good.

Diversity is key and you should definitely use more link building methods and sources for your sites and SENuke X could be a good solution as it also helps you automate the process.

Hi, admin
Can explain me please, to run senuke is it required paid captcha. if it is so, how much dollar we have to spent captcha in one time run. say, full monty project linking.

Reply

Dave February 19, 2012 at 9:45 am

The price for captcha is very low. It shouldn’t be more than a few bucks.

Miriam March 16, 2012 at 9:21 pm

Hi

How many websites can you use/optomise with SenukeX i.e. what if you have several websites..?

I notice in your post/reply above dated 31 Jan 2012 you said you are not using SenukeX anymore – are you saying it’s not that good after all and why have you turned to something else?

Thanks, Miriam

Reply

Dror March 17, 2012 at 10:45 am

Hi Miriam, You can promote as many websites as you want with SENukeX. There isn’t really a limit to the number of sites you can promote and it will simply depend on you since you will need to use the tool more and create more campaigns.

I stopped using as a test since I found it to be too expensive and I wanted to see if I can use the same money on other tools and services and get the same if not better results. Until the recent Google update that effected many of my rankings it was going great.

I’ve heard about senuke before but now I understand why it can circumvent any google algo updates with the variety of backlinks it does. I will the 14 day trial first and hope to get cash from it before buying the software.

Chuck July 30, 2012 at 4:33 am

Hi,
To buy at the discounted price using your discount link, does it require buying a full year subscription at one time for $1297, or does it allow monthly payments of $108?

Thanks,
Chuck

Reply

Dror July 30, 2012 at 8:03 am

Hi Chuck, I’m pretty sure that you can’t get a monthly payment for the year license. You may be able to pay it in 3 or 4 different payments but I’m also not 100% sure about that. Best thing for you to do is to check the checkout process and see what are your options for payment.
