BMR/non spun better long term?

Ok so we all know that spun articles don't really give much value to the internet. Yes, even the manually spun articles that are readable with quality information are not exactly going to be favorable by Google (presumably of course).

So assuming this kind of link building might be weakened in the future what are your thoughts on networks like BMR. Obviously it's not completely white hat and it's still technically paid links.

But if they're unique and quality content might we hope they're a little safer in the long term than spun blog networks?

And while I'd love to spend my time giving more value on my actual websites after two years of SEO I know which one pays the bills. And I currently use every type of link spun and otherwise - but I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

    Google can't tell quality content.

    BMR is not a long term strategy, ever.

    As has been mentioned many times before:

    1. Use spun content to rank fast.
    2. Use quality content for syndication and to get visitors.
    3. Keep rankings strong using high quality links from strong sources. Weak links will help you get there fast.
    4. For a long term strategy you need something community driven. Can be comments, discussion, reviews, content submission, sharing (of something)... almost anything.

    Spun articles work just as well as duplicate content which works just as well as original content. A link is a link. All these myths that float around are ridiculous. If you had 1000 backlinks all coming from unique articles or you had the same 1000 backlinks coming all from duplicate content you would rank exactly the same. The only benefit to unique and spun content is higher backlink indexing rates.

    One more thing, any SEO who's really tested will see that this is the case. The reason that blog networks like BMR want unique content is it leads to high indexing rates and keeps their blogs in good standing.

      Contradicting yourself. First you say links from duplicate are same then you say higher indexing rate.

      I'm not giving an opinion on the topic but want to point out why we are confused. Because people like you making contradicting statements and try to come from a position of authority.

      Bmr is better based on my non scientific test. One can assume its because of high index rate and less vulnerable to deindex. Sounds like they are not the same.

        How am I contradicting myself? Links from duplicate content are the same assuming they are indexed. Otherwise it wouldn't be a valid link. So if you are confused here it goes. Duplicate content links are as valuable as unique content links but the ONLY benefit of unique content links are they have a better chance to be indexed. Nothing contradictory going on there.

        Sorry if I "try" and come from a position of authority but I have over 30 sites all of which I have never failed to rank on page 1 for their chosen niche keywords including high competition terms like "debt settlement", "cheap car insurance" ect... I do this 24/7 for a living and I am just trying to help clear things up because I know for the newbies theres a lot of misinformation. Excuse me if you want to argue semantics and assume I am blowing smoke.

      I'm not entirely sure I agree about the high indexing rates. Every BMR post is bookmarked and other backlinks pointing to it, hence why they're indexed at such a high rate.

    I love that BMR doesn't accept spun articles. That is why I picked them to sign up with.

      Yea me too. This is what makes them stand out from every other private blog service in my opinion as well.

      It's pure quality.

    It's good that BMR doesn't accept spun article. Quality is always better than quantity, so don't try to submit spun articles there. Of course we can rewrite and make them look unique, but be sure to rewrite them by sentence and check it through Copyscape.

    All I can say is that Linkvana and BMR has worked for me and my colleagues. Although it may be difficult to write unique content all the time... In my experience this method is definitely worth it.

    For a newbie who hasn't made a nickle with any of his sites, can any of you confidently say that the $59 monthly investment in the BMR service is worth it? Or asked another way....assuming the on-page SEO is good, will BMR be enough to push my "relatively easy" (Traffic Travis' assessment) keywords up enough to see some traffic?

    Thanks

    I think you are missing a big thing here. With BMR you can not submit spun or duplicate content, it has be to original and unique and that is why BMR users are seeing results and that is why I believe BMR is actually good for the long term.
