Thinking about building my own High PR Blog Network, many questions, advice needed?!?!

[ej2012]

So I was sitting around thinking about High PR Blog networks.. there are so many of them out

articleranks(AR)
buildmyrank(BMR)
authoritylinknetwork(ALN) to name a few and many many more. It was ALN that trades high PR blogs for daily submission credits.. so how every many points you have = how many submissions you can do to their network per day.

Add a PR 1 sites: Your submission limit will be increased by 0.5 points.
- Add a PR 2 sites: Your submission limit will be increased by 1 points.
- Add a PR 3 sites: Your submission limit will be increased by 1.5 points.

So here I am I have verified and purchased 2 high PR domains.. one with a PR2, one with PR3.. I picked them both up at DP for $15 each.. total cost $30

So I started to think.. why wouldn't I just hold onto these myself and drop my links on them.. heck, I could probably even make the content on them related to my niche site.. I could make my own private network of these blogs to help boost my sites, right? Then again, I know nothing about how successful or how long the high PR sites will last.. but if they are good enough to be excepted into someone else's network, then they must be good enough for what I want to accomplish.

Maybe I only need a small network of 20-30 or 30-50 blogs PR2 or more to be ranking my own little niche sites..

What I don't know is how many I would need?
I don't know if I need to have each blog on a separate IP? The two that I submitted to the network were on my same hostgator account, so maybe that doesn't matter, I really don't know.

Does the benefit I am thinking off really exist? Meaning that having 5-10 of these with backlinks to lets say one site help my site/pages crawl up the rankings?

Anyone have any ideas on this?

Also to keep authority for a PR1 or PR2 Blog etc., do you have to keep linking to it or is that pretty solid?

Cheers,

I guess the other part to that is you still have to get your links indexed even if they are on high PR blogs, right?

This ranking stuff is pretty crazy since the Google Panda update. I would not count on ranking things. Not saying it won't happen, but for more competitive stuff it gets tricky. I would suggest building something where you can attract buyers versus ranking your own stuff at this point, but I don't know the domains or what your business is about now.

A friend and I are working on our own network.

All I can say is try to distinguish yourself in some way. There are too many link networks out there to just launch one casually without considering what you're adding.

Plus, you'll be spending at least 10 grand on domains to get a good network.

Our network is going to primarily focus on high PR sites, PR 4-7.

Other than that it will work similar to BMR.

I get the angle you are coming from. I am not looking to share my network with anyone. I am looking to setup 10, maybe 20 high PR blogs for myself.. then link from those, to my sites that need some help with rankings..

the question is will it work..

I guess my thinking is.. why submit an article to an article directory where my page will have no PR when I can put that same article on a domain with high PR and have contextual links backlink to my site. I would think that would help the target site's ranking, wouldn't it?

I am talking sites that sometimes just based on my on page optimization rank alone on page 2 or page 3.. they just need some extra kick to get to the top.. why pay all these services to submit my articles to their high PR blogs when I could invest in my own high PR blogs and place as many backlinks on them as I need for my own benefit?!? Or maybe it's not that simple?

But essentially, I spend all day finding blogs with high pr to comment on and leave my link.. I create an article and blast it to multiple article directories etc., I would still do some of this.. but having my own set of high pr domains would mean I could use those to help my sites up the ranks, yes?
