    What do you think?

    Isn't those 100% Duplicate Content Blog Network that is on Google's Radar. How hard to spot those?
    I know some blog are about general topic, but i don't think they will talk about Webmaster stuff today and than pee pee pill tomorrow.

    I though they are at the same level submitting to 200 article site, but, those article site host different article and are categorized. So is blog network even worse?

    What's your take on the quality of those link?

    Splogs will never be valuable, but I'm not sure that's what your asking...

    If your using a network of blogs to help promote your own sites, with original content, I think it's great!

    I spend my time reading and critically commenting on other blogs. I basically look for blogs that have a high page, such as a PR 6. Generally, the higher the page rank the higher the traffic ranking in Alexa. The second criteria is that the blog needs to have interesting content for me to comment on. When commenting on those blogs, I leave my name and my web site address. I try comment on at least 1 blog per day depending on how many blogs have interesting content.

    Creating a network of blogs really works!

    It isn't a traffic flood, but you find out which blogs send traffic and which don't.

    Which blogs provide links and which don't.

    Plus, you get to see what people are talking about around the web. This is great for finding content and topics.

    Original content for your blog is not useless for blog network.

    I think the main question is asking...

    Is it useless to have my link on a blog network that is just different domain names, but all the domain names have exactly the same content.

    Wouldn't all the domains start to drop out of google or show as supplemental results as they are all using the same content?

    i agree with you. blog networks are full of dublicate content. when i prefer to buy links from the blogs, i prefer blog owners to write the blog posts. this prevents the dublicate content. i never use blog networks

    I have paid for blog posts in the past, but prefer to stay away from blog networks such as the ones you mentioned.

    I don't see the sense in getting links from pages on blogs that the search engines will likely put into the supplemental graveyard anyway.

    I also recently paid <$10 for a ton of blog posts in a network. I was goign to make a bulk purchase but decided to see how it'd affect one blog. The links aren't in G or Technorati yet, so I'm not too impressed with the purchase.

    Quality blog links and reviews are worth a lot more than 1,000 splog links.

    i think, instead of 100 blog post, you sould try 10 to 20 blog post first. if you get the result go for more...

    Blog networks are already past their prime ;)- currently blog networks (especially those with duplicate content) offer no additional ranking benefits for google serps :)

    i believe so, the price is going too cheap and only N00bs fall for it now. That why people are selling their network
