Advice on Using Blogging Networks

I was wondering if anyone uses the following technique with Blogging Networks:
  • Join a blogging network and submit posts for one or two months.
  • End your subscription and then join a new network, posting again for a couple of months.
  • Move on to a new network and so on..
Is this a technique that anyone has used or is using? I've just joined a network and feel that after one or two months of posting it would be wise to move on to try and get as much diversity, and more out of your post ideas.

I was thinking about doing this for BMR first and then moving onto Linkamotion, and then some of the others out there.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

    JMO but on most blog networks your posts get indexed and show up as backlinks when on the homepage (domain.index.php), but soon falls of of that page to domain.com/yourpage.php and then most likely won't show up as a backlink. Unless you can somehow get it indexed (probably a PR0). Unless it's a sticky post or a paid link. The blog networks I joined the links would show up during the first several weeks, but when you went back a few months later they were gone (they were index.php links). So you're kinda stuck in a cycle IMO and what you're suggesting will have very minimal effect in the long run IMO. BMR from what I'm hearing works, but only the homepage has the high PR, so you'll need to continue posting.

      The network I'm using lets you know if domain.com/yourpage.php is indexed, and they have a pretty high success rate.

      It's interesting what you said about the links disappearing after a few months; on which networks did this happen?

        If the network you're using gives you the exact url that's a big plus, you can use a backlink indexer. But it seems like you're only supplied with the url AFTER it already is showing up in the SERPs? IMO you want it before it shows up so you can get it indexed.

        Most blog networks the link will show up as domain.com or domain.com/index.php, as the homepage gets automatically pinged whenever a post is made. But eventually as more posts are made it scrolls of the index.php and after a few tries the searchengines determines the link no longer exists, thus you have to continue posting.

        Unless you have the exact url which the blog networks I used didn't automatically supply, unless they were ALREADY showing as backlinks (on the individual url). On most blog networks the homepage has the high PR and your page eventually resides on a PR0 page.

        The blog network I was using is a popular one run by a warrior so I won't post it here, but I'll send a PM. Don't want to single out any particular blog network, but it's the way Wordpress works. Supplying the exact url BEFORE (not after) it shows up in the SERPs is a big plus, but most likely it's a PR0 by then.

    I think you could probably get away with that if you have just a couple sites, but if you have a ton of sites then its worth staying subscribed and syndicating articles out to them as often as you can.
