Buying blog posts on a blog network?

    I consider buying a blog posts package on a blog network. Some DP members are selling this, they also say the blogs are hosted on several different IPs, etc.

    However, when I buy such a package, the same post (with my link) will appear on x-hundreds of blogs. My doubt it: Won't Google ban these blogs because of duplicate content?

    Anyone has an experience with this? I see this like a good way how to get lots of backlinks from may sites (blogs).

    I have the same concern. My obvious guess would be that, yes, it would be considered duplicate content. Same thing applies to anchor text: Make your text look as natural as possible and don't use the same exact anchor text on thousands of websites.

    don't do that. my site has been penalized - too many links at once from the same content and bla-bla-bla.
    It't better to use small networks - 5-10 blogs with only unique content! There is a lot of offers on DP.

    I've tried those big offers without any success. If you do go for one, do it on a test website that won't kill your business if it gets a penalty. (For best results do what Morgul says)

    Thank you guys for your advice, I appreciate it. So I will do what Morgul says and maybe I will test such big offer on a site that's not so important for me.

    I wondering about results you will get. How long it takes to get some effects? Days or weeks? Could you share your experience after testing this?

    It may take months, as climbing your SE position in Google is a slow process, you need lots of patience. However, this depends on the keyword you're targetting - if there is very little competition, you can get up pretty quickly - in 1-2 weeks maybe.

    Don't do stuff like this. Buying results never really pans out to be what you'd expect. Do it naturally. Ping every post, bookmark your stories, comment on other people's blogs and blogroll the ones you like. That's how the blogosphere works. It's all about selflessness.

    You can get pretty quick results (depending on competition) if the blogs are good quality and don't post to often, i.e. your post will remain on the front page long enough for it to be crawled.

    Blog networks can suffer from duplicate content penalty. As Morgul says, best to go for small networks (5-10) who will allow you to submit a different article to each blog.

    Or go for a review written by the blog owner which will be unique. Hmmm, what's that say in my sig?! :D

    I second that. Too many links too fast and google will suspet you of spamming links. So be very carefull with these offers. Not only do you lose money, you lose possible repute in Google's eyes. This quick schemes do more harm then good.

    i do not suggest anyone buying these blog posts from any blog network. it is very easy for google to figure out that those links are paid and google is heavily discounting paid links. no matter how many different class c ip the blog network owners say they have, it is still lot of unrelated contents there. it is very low quality link and even if google doesn't identify as paid link, they will not do much help in terms of SERP

    As other's say never do that in a short duration of time,When you buy a post in large no of network then usually seller don't want to take pain just cut & paste the post.
    Google take this very seriously and may downgrade your pagerank.
    ::Solution::
    If you are paying then mention in your deal to twick the content.
    Like these tricks
    Title of post
    Starting of post
    Ending of post
    Para style
    Para fonts
    Put some images
    Put some smiles
    Put some related youtube video if their is
    different tags
    You may design banner


    But most of the time no one gonna do all this SEO and tricks.
    Feel free to bother me if i can help

    just use payperpost, each post is uniquely written. I use it as an advertiser and very tempted to get a bunch of my blogs into it and hire a full time writer to blog as a publisher of PPP.

    But it's working for Google, especially if post to related blogs (say, finance to finance).
