There are plenty of folks out there offering automatic bulk blog post submission and I just want to warn you before you take any of these opportunities. Always ask if they are indexed by Google. How old is the domain names - always check the domain dates especially the expiry dates. Make sure they are not expiring soon. Make sure they are at least technorati listed or at least able to ping technorati (a blog must be able to ping). Make sure it is not RSS scraped. Make sure the sites are not sandboxed. Just a warning, I myself got lured by these "wonderful service". Hope no one follow my footstep and make a mistake again.
I think the main thing people need to be aware of is the physical location of the blogs. One package in particular features about 50 blogs from the exact same IP, and another 50 of them from sequential Class-D IP's. That's not very helpful for link building and in fact would be a definite red flag for every search engine worth it's salt. I've bought a few of the packages myself just to test them out. I have to say that I can't fault the service as far as response time and, communication and courtesy was concerned. Most of the links/articles have been relegated to the supplemental lists of the search engines within days of buying them - especially Google. That's OK as they still count as links -- they're just not anywhere as good as "real" links. Still, the price I paid was peanuts really so I'm not complaining. As I said before the people I dealt with were great and the price was right. To get "real" benefit you really want a range of different articles over Class-C (or better) IP addresses. That's when it really gets good!
@877 Thanks for the concern. Posting the site here is not appropriate I don't want to mess up with the owners. I'm sure if they read this, well hopefully they will check their urls if they are index or not. Few DP members have this service. @Fret Yes, you're right the prices offered are really affordable and good thing there are such people who are actually giving out cheap services. Unfortunately if in a months or so with all the links starting to sandbox, I think that's not good. You still paid for it. We knew from the start that duplicate contents will hurt anybody's site. But still we took their service (even myself took it) even i knew sooner or later all of their sites will be punished coz of dupes. But because of the cheap price we're taking it no matter what happened to their site. With a blog article submission of more than 100+ blog network with a fee of $10,20,30 only or what ever cost that is, certainly that was too cheap. The point here is that you pay for permanent links. Well that permanent link idea is really a crap, who would know that our links are up or still alive 5 or 10 years from now Even it's just $5 bucks you still have a deal and a deal is always a deal. That's what iTraders are for
