Looking to Share Private Blog Network & Resources
I am looking for someone with some private assets who wants to make a team.
Ok so here is what I am thinking. I have been buying auctioned and expired domains with backlinks and PR for the last year. I have around 40 so far from PR1-PR5 with most being PR2-PR3. I have them hosted on seperate IPs. Some through SEO hosting and a few on different standard hosting accounts. I only bought domains with wayback captures and tried to recreate a lot of the content to be exact matches. I did not put any outbound links for at least the first month. Long story short, I am trying to cultivate some decent blogs.
My goal is to not only have blogs for harvesting links, but also ones that are a notch above the over spammed private networks out there. This means that the blogs are going to have a clear subject matter. This also means that I am not posting 20 posts per day of articles with slightly spun versions all over the web. This means that I keep my OBL close to something realistic. I hope this to also mean that eventually the blogs will have some actual traffic and semi-respectable bounce rates. All of this is easy... the problems so far are as follows:
1. I am primarily promoting offline clients and only have a handful of my own sites to promote. This means that, like it or not I am leaving footprints by having a relatively incestuous outbound link profile for each of the blogs. I send a fair amount of links to random authority sites, but still having the entire network all contain links to the same weight loss clinic, auto shop and hair solon, will sooner or later be a visible pattern. Some additional content and link diversity would almost certainly do me some good.
2. While I am on separate C-class IPs I did some digging and there are still similarities between the ip's. Nothing easy to find, but who knows really. With my hosting and registrar fees, it's getting pretty expensive for me to grow the network. The last thing I need is an extra 5.00 per domain and 50 logins to keep track of.
From what I can figure, the solution to both of these problems is to find someone else essentially like me. Someone with their own quality blog network who would be willing to let me post on theirs in exchange for letting them post on mine. I would want to enforce some very strict rules however and am only interested in working with someone with a similar commitment to quality.
Here are some of the rules I have brainstormed, but I am kind of flexible with these if someone wants to suggest something better. For the most part, however, I think these would be good guidlines for any agreement.
1. each blog will receive no more than one article per week from each participant. each person would also need to make efforts to post to all of the blogs evenly. ie... You cannot post to the PR5 blog without also posting to the little PR1 blog. I have my blogs set to keep the most recent 20 posts on the homepage... this means that if we only have two or three authors, links will stay on the homepage for at least a couple of months.
2. Each article will be at least 350 words (though 500+ is better) and be 100% original. No spun versions of the article should ever be distributed anywhere else. The article should only exist on the blog.
3. Each article will include only 1 self-serving link (don't groan). The article can contain a youtube video though.
4. Each article (or most articles) will also contain a link to a random authority site (ie wikipedia).
5. Each article will relate to the subject of the blog. Most blogs have a general theme. I do not care if the links are related, but the article should be at least a little relevant. What I do is outsource an article on my clients subject and then just write an intro paragraph to try and relate it to the theme of the blog. For example if a blog is about computer gaming and my link and client is a chiropractor I'll write an intro paragraph like... "I was playing world of war craft the other day and I noticed my back hurt.... After doing some research I learned that..." and then I use the article that was outsourced. It doesn't need to be perfect, but there should be an effort to keep the articles relevant to the blog theme.
6. The article should be pretty good. I am assuming that I am not the only one to wind up with some totally junk articles from an outsourcer. These will not work here. They don't need to be award winning masterpieces but they need to sound like they were written by a native speaker. Some questionable grammar here or there is no problem... but the bulk of the content needs to be readable.
7. If you post an article you will also build links to that article. I am assuming everyone would do this no matter what. I certainly build links to any article I post. I'd like my network to be a first tier level network... something you can point to your money sites without breaking a sweat. I don't care how you build links, but would prefer if you did something less drastic than 5,000 XRumer blast.
In my mind it should work where I set you up with an author account on all of my blogs and you do the same for me. At first I will want to approve your posts, but if you shoot straight with me, I'll set it up so your posts go live. It should be noted that I am looking for serious and trustworthy person to work with. If I can find 1-2 people with similar networks and similar goals, we should have a hell of a resource between us.
As a note... if you are a "shine bright and crash" kind of a warrior, this might not be for you. I will really have a short fuse for anything approaching spam or junk. This is intending to be a long term resource for me and I don't want it burnt because someone does something stupid. Now look... this network itself is pretty gray, and I'll go even darker to blast my iphoneaccessories.wordpress.com with a firestorm of links.... But this is not that type of thing. I am hoping to find someone serious who is not afraid of putting in the work with me now to build something unique.
I am also interested in potentially sharing some accounts with people... I know that may be a no-no on here... so I won't go into detail. Needless to say i am paying hundreds of dollars per month to use tools I could easily share in exchange for the same. As long as i can trust someone of coarse.
PM me with your thoughts... send me a couple of blogs in your network now. Not the best ones, not the worst ones and just let me know what you think of my proposal. . I will do the same back.
I know 30 blogs is not that huge, but I am building more every week. I know I could do more with some partners.
