Article / Blog Networks Post-Penguin

Hi Guys,

Just wondered what the latest was on blog/article networks post penguin?

A competitor in my niche has managed to rank a small mini-site for some seriously competitive - brand + coupon keywords since February solely by using blog/article networks. It seems that blog/article networks can still work post Penguin.

1) What blog / article networks have been de-indexed or severely penalized post-penguin (I know BuildMyRank is gone)?
2) What blog / article networks can people recommend?
3) What link velocity is working i.e. how many referring domains per month to the same site? Obviously this will depend on the vertical and its competitiveness.
4) What level of content do people recommend? Spun content, $2 unique articles i.e. complete crap, $5 unique articles i.e. crap but some making sense
5) Other best practices

I've been out of the game for a while so your help is appreciated

Cheers!

    well I was just going to create a thread right now with same questions. Which public networks besides UAW, FTS, SEODestiny, ALN and ArticleRanks exist with good amount of blogs?. MAN is dead, they have almost zero blogs now.

    Article marketing CAN be a part of your total marketing plan. If you use it make sure the content is unique and well written, 400 - 600 words. You CAN outsource article writing but it will cost $ 30 - $50 per good article. I have tried article spinners but most of the time I have to 80% re-write them to make the content good. So spinners are in most cases a waste of time and money. I use PLR articles but solely to give me ideas on content, never use PLR articles "as is ", you have to make them unique.
