Private blog network vs Web 2.0 network

Building a private blog network is expensive at first with regards to all the hosting fees associated when compared to setting up a network of web 2.0 sites. So my question is why would an someone build a private network on paid hosting when you could do the same with a network of free web 2.0 websites.

Can anyone give some insight?

      Hi Toby. I see. Ok could you give me some advice on how to avoid that happening. I presume it would be by making a thin 1 page site with lots of outbound links or something of low quality full of ads etc?

      Would a well written article (by myself) with no adverts and say a handful of links be fine. With some photography etc... I'm thinking of syndicating the one article across several web 2 sites

    I would not write crappy content myself and publish to the private blog network. In my case, I have several sites (i mean some wordpress, some blogger and two are just plain HTML site). These ways it will not look to obvious when it comes to google penguin.

    To help me with the writing content, I hire people here or iwriter for a quality one. Once I find a great writer, i will try to stick with him. Of course, I use a rewrite method i.e. same content but try to spin manually before posting them to my network (NOT ALL at once but within the same niche). I also change the title (as you know by now, google displays title to their SERP).

    I hope that help.

    Well in reality, it's just a matter of lower risk. Notice I say lower because even paid hosting "private" blog networks won't guarantee your sites sticking forever. A hosting company can go down at any time they wish and your files along with it.

    The only way you can be absolutely certain is to host the files yourself. And even then, you are still relying on external sources.

    Web 2.0 works more than fine. Just try to act like a normal user , don't post backlinks at your first post. Use a presentation post, put on some random personal thoughts , use related photos and related videos and everything will be fine.

    I think you are missing the point of a private network. When people are talking about a private network they are talking about buying high PR domains. These domains have way more power and link juice then starting a brand new web 2.0 would. It would take years of cultivating a web 2.0 property to reach the same link power and trust that high PR domains have.

    If you're on a budget then building a web 2.0 network can be very good. The only problem with them is you don't own the accounts so they may get closed out of nowhere which would negate a lot of hard work put in.

      Good point. I think though to begin with I will take the risk of the web2 sites being in the hands of other site moderators when building up an initial set of sites. Good use of themes (i already have several) and unique content and material should see them last. If they generate a decent level of income i will then step up stuff and use the money generated to go to the next level of investment. I noticed recently within the space of about 5 weeks my site went from 0 to 2 pr. I think it was due to the fact it was rich with social media and youtube videos. To be honest it only had 5 articles a privacy pol and a contact page and yes it had a decent amount of backlinks but not loads it only sits on position 8 for a medium soc kw (about 150).

      I'm wondering if I followed the steps would it work with a web 2 or if google sees it as a web 2 site cause of the subdomain and is less likely to page rank it. At this point I'm wondering if an exclusive domain is part of the page rank algorithm. I'll go research that. Thanks for your feedbacks
