Zeus has been very successful for me. Zeus is a dirty word in a lot of circles, however I can point to several examples where Zeus works great WHEN USED CORRECTLY.
If you'd like more info, sticky me and I'll send you some search terms we do very well in for our industry. Also, the newest google dance hasn't phased us.. of course we have almost 350 good quality link partners - all generated with Zeus.
The major mistakes usually made with zeus all go back to not customizing the emails, and the link directory that zeus creates... if this is done correctly, most webmasters will never know that you're even using Zeus.
Most SEO's will tell you that you shouldn't use any automated tools... however I have found Zeus to be a valuable tool.
BTW, our homepage has a PR of 5
Our "Resources" page has a PR of 4
Most of our individual Links pages have a PR of 3
Every reciprocal link can be found within two clicks of our home pages (which I think is important)...
If you look at how you use it, I think Zeus is good.
If you use it correctly you will not effect the search engine servers/processors, will not create more overhead for search engine networks and will pull in great 'themed' or related sites.
If you use this tool correctly and with thought; you can build a very big house indeed! If you use it as a marketing tool to build up strategic link partners this is different to building up links for the sole purpose of search engine manipulation. - Infact I have tested zeus and it did not even visit one search engine, in my opinion its not the tool but how you use it:)
