Are these 'blog network' sites?

Was doing some research and noticed a few similarities among this group of sites. They are in the same niche and each contains a similar ad placement style, along with text links, etc. Does anybody know if these are from a blog network, and if so which one? I am thinking that they are. I have no intentions of using whichever one it might be, but I am nevertheless curious to know.

    It's hard to tell, honestly it sort of just looks like guest posting to me but I could be wrong. If it is a private blog network I'm assuming its owned buy whoever owns the site they're linking to.

    haha, no im not trying to get traffic. its not my site. its honestly for research purposes because i am intrigued by this whole blog network thing and was doing some research on a few sites. yes, i singled out one site in particular because they have an obvious SEO strategy.

    @soverignn: thats just a small sampling of links. the site has over 1k incoming links but many seem to be of a similar style (generic design niche blog + review article with anchor text link). it seems to be quite a large blog network, and is getting them good rankings to boot (though.. I wonder if they are BMR or ALN sites that just haven't gotten deindexed yet)

    yeah, the mommy blogs are a big part of his profile but there are other niches too (entertainment, etc) all following similar layout, leading me to believe that he pre-selected niches from a list.

      i'm trying to learn more about the network and networks in general. pretty sure it's not a private network though as i sincerely doubt a medium-sized business would take the effort to buy up 2000 aged domains strictly for link building. as for the company you mentioned i have no stake in knowing their link profile. this is really just a case study of a company who i know has smart SEO behind it.

      @Kingsley: not attempting to out anyone but i can see how you might think that. if google really was in here actively collecting information then not many of our sites would be performing too well haha

    Not a good idea to out someone's blog network out in the open...
    Google might be looking in here for blogs to deindex, :p
