Social Monkee - Solid SEO or blackhat danger?

Social Monkee is an SEO tool that creates 25 links to your site once per day for free.
While you can pay for additional links created more frequently the location of the links (the pages that your links will be created on) is said to be the same.

While you may find reviews raving about the benefits of using Social Monkee before you jump in you should keep a few things in mind:

1) Social Monkee runs an Affiliate Program
Affiliate programs provide incentives for people to rave about a service. Through raving about it the odds of you clicking on a Social Monkee signup link that the affiliate provides increases and the odds of them making money increases. As such any raves should be taken with a grain of salt, especially if they are accompanied by a sign up link.

2) Ideally you want Quality Backlinks
Social Monkee is trading on the quantitiy of the backlinks that they can provide. While Quantity can be helpful in boosting your google rankings what you really should be looking for a Quality backlinks. This is especially true when you consider what Social monkee might be doing to create your 25 backlinks a day. In all likelihood they're creating links for all of their clients on the same webpages. This means that while you will get 25 backlinks per day the benefit you receive from each backlink is likely to be negligible as your backlink will be one of many on the same page reducing its value.

3) The Googleplex Effect
If you're looking to boost your google ranking you should proceed with extreme caution. Google is interested in providing people with useful information. As part of this they attempt to create algorithms that sort and weight data in a way that is similar to the way a human would sort and weight data. This often means that they get wise to scams and blackhat SEO. Linkfarming was a big issue a few years ago and this sounds suspiciously similar - the creation of a lot of backlinks out of thin air.

4) The use of Jargon to Sound clever
If you've checked their main page you've probably noticed that they brag about Unique C Class IPs.
C Class IPs are simply IP addresses of a class level that is reserved for sites that use unicasting - sites that send information from their server to your computer. Class C IPs are associated with the smallest number of related network addresses. Unique C Class IPs is another way of saying different websites. Usually if someone is trying to blind you with science they're trying to hide something. something like the fact that they're not that special.

An alternative view is outlined in the video below. While the video might seem to raise a good point you should take note of the following points:
1) The test is not scientific
2) We don't know what other SEO techniques have been employed
3) His google search knows about him - it is unsurprising that his website ranks high when he is searching for his target keywords.
