XRumer & Hrefer are both very legitimate SEO software suites.

Hrefer can be used to scrape for HIGH quality semantically relevant blogs, GBs and Fourms that back-links and messages may be placed. (remember your keywords! Anchor text is VERY important!)

In our Web Development firm We use it to find high quality niche-relevant sites when doing manual link building for ourselves and clients.

XRumer is the software that automates or semi automates account creation and posting if you choose. It's just another well programmed SEO Tool it can be useful in Finding Targeted sites which backlinks can be placed. Doing so can give you a GREAT boost in your SERPs.

Usually manually contributing to a forum / blog is best and you can justifiably receive quality back-links or can dial it up and go for huge backlink Blasts.

it can be used as WhiteHat as you want it or you can put on your Black Fedora go fully auto and blast to every forum in existence if you so choose. Both approaches have their merits and both work well... it really depends on your type of site, domain age, number of previous backlinks etc..

if Organic Search traffic is part of your overall marketing plan then it is very useful software to have in your arsenal.

However, the Learning curve is quite steep, so most people opt to go for XRumer Services. Most being non targeted blanket blasting services.

It does not send email and therefore is NOT a SPAM tool. However, it is a tool that can be abused and is by some people (usually by non SEO professionals)

The software is a great tool if used properly, and time is taken to learn it and general SEO methods.

If anyone is interested in discussing more about it or is looking for high quality SEO consulting drop me a PM or IM me

Xrumer + Hrefer is A++ in my books.
