The Best Blog Network To Submit Your Articles To

I just wanted to get some opinions on what you believe the best service is to submit your articles to, more and more of these services are coming out all the time, most of which are mediocre at best

many of them have thousands of blogs yes, what they don't tell you is that they are stuck in an internet waste land that google barely knows about and definitly doesn't care about


unique article wizard - this just about cuts it, google does find a handfull of the articles

free traffic system - I've never had a single good link from here

my article network - this isn't much better than a scam, you will never ever get traffic from the articles and the very few backlinks that google finds are of a poor quality, a long way from the unlimited backlinks they were talking about on the home page

article ranks - at least you can buy credits with these meaning you can have an almost free trial before purchasing a subscription, so i've given them a try, i submitted two articles last week through them, now we will see how many of the articles google picks up, so far it stands at 1 in 5 days so it's not looking good

linkvana - i like linkvana, it's not for traffic like most of these services, it's for links and they do show, just takes time sorting the content out


So does anyone know of any other blog networks that actually offer useful blogs that google actually knows about and will find?

    Hi Daniel,
    I would recommend IM Advantage which is the monthly membership program that Steve Clayton and Tim Godfrey (Commission Blueprint and Niche Blueprint) have just launched.
    It is a $67 membership site and it contains a sytem called Blog Blueprint which allows you to post blog posts in their system and it goes out and posts it on relevant blogs with a high page rank (just choose your category).
    This enables you to get a high PR link to your website, in a very simple and easy way.
    Linkvana does the same thing I think but it costs $147 a month.
    Besides there are tons of other VERY valuable tools inside also.
    I would advice you to have a look at this product (sorry I have no link) and see for your self as the price will soon go up.

    IMHO - most of these services are not really worth the effort. The thing is that you are putting your post on blogs that have no "clout" - half the posts probably don't even get indexed.

    I've tried all of the ones you mention and the only one worth the effort is Linkvana which is actually a whole different deal then services like UAW and Free Traffic System.

    It seems to me that any system where other people are putting their brand new PR0 blogs into the system in order to use it is not going to be that effective. Lets face it, most people do little to no work to get backlinks so the links you are getting are not worth much.

    Linkvana, on the other hand already has high PR sites to put your links on. It is expensive and can be time consuming as you need to submit unique content for the posts (articles must be unique when submitted and then can be syndicated after).

    I've done some tests with Linkvana and been happy with the results.

    Another one that works good is Article Underground - I did a case study on that a while back and got good results from that - you can see that here - Blog Posting System Backlinks Testcase

    I'll have to check into IM advantage - thanks for mentioning it Marit.

      The best blog networks take many measures to make sure that posts get indexed and stay that way.

      Like Build My rank for example goes a long way to ensuring that your articles get indexed and stay that way.

    Hi Cashcow,

    What is your oppinion about Jonathan Leger`s products?:

    One Way Links
    3 Way Links

    Could you suggest some good networks? I was gonna use Unique Article Wizard, Article Marketing Automation, Isnare, Distribute Your Articles, Article Ranks and Free Traffic System (Pro Version). But I`m not sure now, is it true that it`s just not worth the effort? That the articles gonna "stuck in an internet waste land that google barely knows about and definitly doesn't care about"...

          Ezine Articles is just one domain, with UAW the article submission is sent to hundreds of blogs / sites. Most of them will not get picked by Google but a number of them will do which provides a diversification of backlinks. Ezine Articles as a domain is better then any of the blogs these tools send the articles to.

    If these systems are not working for you, then in my opinion you are using them wrong.

    I use UAW and AMA to great success. These services have made ranking so much easier!

    Of course, I know I probably use them very differently to most people. As with all things in IM, it is knowing the "twist" that gets the results.

      Care to share what's the "twist"?

      All I know is that high PR blogs mean nothing much because the pages your articles are submitted to are almost always PR n/a.....It doesn't matter if the blog is PR 3 or 4. That is only the homepage PR.

      However, high PR may mean a better chance of your articles getting indexed, and staying indexed (Google does clear out its index).

      I might check out the Blog Blueprint as they have a large network, and I heard the average PR is 3 upwards....Looks like the two best ones imo, the other being Linkvana.

      Someone asked about Jon Leger's network....Your links are deleted when you unsubscribe.

      All these networks are very time consuming, as you (should) be writing unique content, not spun ones.....but the payback is often small.

      In fact, you may even see a regression for quite a number of keywords you are targeting. This happens quite often. You are well advised not to rely on them alone, but if that's the case, it doesn't justify their high prices since it takes so much time/effort just to put up a few unique articles per day.

      Maybe the terms changed, but that's what I know about 2 years ago. Seems to be for 3WayLinks at least, not sure about 1WayLinks.

    I tried SEO Linkvine, and initially, it seemed as though it made a difference. The sites I targeted started popping in and out of top 10 for some fairly competetive terms.

    All of theses sites were older though, been aournd 2 - 3 years.

    So in and out of top ten for about 4 - 6 weeks, then... nothing.

    I kept an eye on backlink count, and initially it was going up, but then it leveled out, then started going back down.

    After 3 months, using Yahoo Site Explorer, I saw very few, if any, links that stuck. So I canceled the subscription.

    I gave some numbers on my NJG blog.

    I'm still a member of Lexorsoft, which I use for RSS, blog commenting, Angela's links, and mass article subs, and now I'm trying out UAW. I've heard good stuff about Linkvana, but 167 is a tough pill to swallow.....

    I suppose I should give it a shot though, since now is the time to work on getting ranked for the holiday season.

    Hi Han,

    Actually, he has just started a new membership called blogging underground which has all the announcement blogs but no PLR articles and I think that's around $67 a month.

    I'm doing a case study right now on using these blogs (and the 12 step system he has over there). It's too early to tell what the results will be as I just started last week but from my previous case study I found them to be well worth the price.

      Hi Lee,

      I like your sharing here. I found 2 membership which are: 1) articles underground and 2) blogging underground. My question is do you join to both services?

      Based on your test - blog posting - do you join Article Underground then submitted the PLR to Blogging Underground?

        I signed up for blog blueprint, and posted for a 30 page site for 2 months, each page received links from blog blueprint only. That was all I did for that site (I know, bad idea).
        The system is not set up to be easy, it is post by post entry but you can spin, which I think article ranks frowns upon. It has a 20/post a day max. I gave up after those 2 months, just thought it was too much work entering each post.

        Well, that site currently is my top producing site. I did no bookmarking, no backlinking at all to any of the links I got via blog blueprint, but many links were found, and I even received traffic for long tails from those sites.

        Starting a new site now, and I am really considering going back. Have tried UAW, SEO llinkvine, but just have not really seen the same results. For me, Blog blueprint worked, and mixing in some other linking efforts, sounds like a plan!

    The best blog networks take many measures to make sure that posts get indexed and stay that way.
    Precisely, and also provide blogs that have some PR for you to get indexed on.

    IMHO, the networks that consist solely of blogs provided by the users of the network are not worth much because most of these are low PR, low value blogs where the owners do not do much linking to them (other than submitting their links to the network).

    Build My Rank looks like it could be a good one .... I'll have to make a note to look into that one!

      That's why you need to think outside the box to get true value out of it. I am not going to reveal my exact method but just think what extra steps could be automated onto the system to give it greater impact... Just sayin. There is a way out there if you look hard enough

        I use free traffic system (free member) and with good effect, however the choice of keyword or words has to be right.

        I mainly use it for CPA offers and with the right keyword or words you can stay ranked page 1 on Google just by releasing 1 spun article a week to the 30 blogs you are allowed.

        I guess like most things it's all about how you use them and and what you use them for.

    I use UAW,AMa, FTS and Article Ranks and they seem to work pretty well.

    You need to realise that using these networks is just a numbers games. You can't post once a month and expect to see results. I would say that you need to post 2-3 times a week in order to see results for a semi competetive keyword.

    Another factor that might cause you problems is the way you spin your articles. I personally spin on several levels ( paragrpahs,sentences and words) and you defiently need to spin your anchor texts and link placment to avoid footprints as much as you can.

    By the way artice ranks seem to have introduced an automatic bookmarking which will helep all your articles get indexed.

      There are different reasons why you may use blog networks. Some people are looking for actual traffic where as I would be using the networks purely to build links.

      The system I am following suggests getting your unique articles published on Ezinearticles first. The next suggestion is to spin and distribute your articles using UAW or similar quality submission service. Both of these methods are for traffic and links. The next step in the system suggests using blog networks purely to build links.

      I am looking into the different blog networks and I am grateful for the names of the companies recommended so far. Ideally I would like to outsource the blog network submission part of the process.

      Does anyone know of, or has anyone ever used a blog network submission service?

          So the blog has some pr? likely your post will roll off the page with the PR in a day or two ...

          I like Niche Press Platinum. Diverse IP's - domain registrations and you can have a "private network" - on their network.

          You get backlink urls to all your posts and you can build PR to all your blogs yourself.

    I used a number of the above services but cancelled all of them
    There are tens of thousands of blogs that allow you to post free.

    My advice buy ubot and create your own bot that uses threaded login and submit different original articles. Here using the super spun feature of Jon Legers best spinner can help you create well written totally unique articles. Or just use blog desk to handle all your logins which is free and submit one article at a time you can take a few minutes and add images and videos and really make a good post that will encourage people to follow your links.

    The problem with nearly all of these blogs in these networks are

    1, they get so full of crap that google devalues the links from them, I noticed blogs I put in some of these networks the pr drop as opposed to my other blogs where I write the content myself. Or where the network does have fairly good content standards the rules are so rigorous its hard enough to get the numbers of posts required to rank in organic listings.

    2, They get so many submissions that your posts sometimes gets lost and doesn’t get indexed or no one gets a chance to read it before it is sent off to the archives never to see the light of day again unless you want spend time or money building links to it.

    3, Some niches there may be very few people in the network that accept content from the niche your trying to promote.

    Also I found less is more... Put your articles on blogs the owners take care of and promote each post a few of these as back links are far more powerful than getting hundreds of links from spammy auto accept blogs. There are many places you can find these guest blogger for instance.

    These blog networks are a great money spinner for the owner but usually not that great for the user. I mean how many of them do you have to pay to submit too and also add your own blog

    Final word get a decent seo program that looks at competitor niches like seo moz pro its free for 30 days and look at some sites you know use blog networks to get links compared to 2 or 3 others in top organic listings. You may find as I did the people using these type of links have hundreds or even thousands of links in some niches compared to just a few from others using quality sources to get their links...

      Not yet, but google is obviously "gunning" for them so it seems to me that they might be a waste of time. It can't be too hard for google to find these networks and the blogs in them, can it?
