Hi all,

Let's say you are running an SEO service and you have 100 blogs (BMR style, so the posts get distributed to the home page for a few days and get removed from the home page after) in your arsenal with each blog showing a maximum of 10 posts, with 3 anchor text links per post, and you have tens of customers. In time, wouldn't you be running out of blogs to post to? Or is it OKAY to post to the same set of blogs? Hope you guys understand.

    You wouldn't ever run out of blogs to post too If you re-invest some of the payment from the buyers, back into new network properties.

    Hey Yukon,

    Yap, that's obviously on my things to do list, but is it okay to post on the same set of blogs? Considering the backlinks come from 1 IP address twice or even more. Thanks

      many do it that way so yes its acceptable if you are building a network like they do but on the other hand your instinct is correct - it is not as effective to your clients. In the networks I build for SEO customers I have very low outbound links and their posts STAY on the home page - but of course I have to charge them more because there are less of them supporting those networks.

    Remember that with a blog network the overall value of the posts "get lost" the more and more you post on them.

    The true value of these types of networks come from the homepage, since thats where the backlinks/PageRank really are. Therefore the more and more you post on these blogs the faster the posts end up deeper and deeper in the website. Thus, like with BMR, you need to keep posting to see the value long term.

    As you mentioned though, Google will see the same IP for each post so more posts on the same IP/URL only will go so far.

    Also, be careful when setting up these types of blog networks. Google's gotten keen on identifying them recently as two large private networks have had all of their websites deindexed. It'd be horrible to spend thousands, if not tens of thousands, of dollars on a network that could end up being deindexed.

      Hey RevSEO, when you say that you need to keep posting, in your experience, how much posting would you need to do to get some decent results? I was thinking of joining the BMR network but I would probably only be able to post 1 or 2 150 words articles/week/keyword.

      I'm not really sure if that's even enough. About how many posts do you personally post per week/keyword? I'm just curious since I'm going to be outsourcing a lot of my articles and need to plan out my budget.

        I use BMR pretty regularly and can tell you with certainty that posting 1 or 2 posts per week/keyword is going to do very little for you in terms of ranking increases.

        For me, to receive a steady serp movement I generally will do about 10 posts per day per keyword. That varies depending on a number of different factors, competition, etc., but 10 posts per day is a safe "average".

        And, those posts are in addition to my other link building, other blog networks etc.

          OK, but what if I'm a patient guy?

          I don't need to be ranking on page one for a keyword instantly or even within a month's time. Also the keywords I go after are generally low competition, around the 1000-3000 exact match searches/month. So Patrich, are you going after the hard to rank for keywords because 10 posts/day/keyword is the max posts that you can do per day/site!!

          Note: I'm going for over 30 keywords at the moment so even doing 1-2 posts/keyword/week is a bit over my budget.

            Yeah, I forget that BMR has those restrictions now, my account doesn't.

            I mean, you can do as many or as few posts as you want, but I just don't foresee 1 or 2 posts per week doing much for your rankings. Even on easy search terms. Sometimes, if my search terms need a boost I will go in and publish 30 or 40 posts at a time for the keyword, it just really depends on how that particular page/site responds to the links.

    So, the way to get around double IP address pointing to the same money page is none other than increasing the number of your blog properties, correct?

    Once you've bought a number of expired domains, do you still build backlinks to those sites to keep the PR?
