Authority Blog Network Setup

This is going to be your biggest challenge. I think you are going to struggle to find people who want to sell their sites. You are better off using a service like Flippa if you want to go that route. At least you know those people have an interest in selling their sites.

Even better than that, is using one of the services out there to find domains for sale.

Seeking out live websites with the hopes of buying them is going to be tough. I would say 99% of them will not even respond to you.

The content is probably not going to be that great. Blog posts these days are very long, contain photos, and videos. They get socially shared, etc. How can you do all that for 50 blogs?

>> What do you think about this strategy of link building? Will it work or not? And do you have any suggestions?

Yeah, it will work. But there are lot of unnecessary risk of doing all these. Even it needs lot of time and investment.

If I were you, I would have rent links from blog network and utilize my time in building other sites or something else. Please don't get me wrong, I am not trying to promoting my signature. Just sharing my thought.

I think 30+ powerful homepage links are not powerful anymore. I think it's better to have a relevant blog post with a couple of links pointing to your "money sites". I think then you will pass a lot of link power and link juice over to your website, than have a link on a homepage which doesn't have any relation with your "money website".

I am from The Netherlands where we have no anonymous whois listings. So the phone number is easy to retrieve. However, I fully understand that it's better to invest my time in buying aged blogs", but how you can find these blogs and buy them cheap ($40-60$ per blog)?

Or is better to use a expensive monthly subscription at SEO link vine or another company? (If you have any good suggestions for something like SEO link vine, but cheaper) I definitely will consider it.

Why is it essential to restore the exact same content. I don't complain if I can keep the PR and write "new, fresh content". It is just a one-time investment. I will keep the blog also fresh, because I will post reguraly articles with backlinks to my "money websites".

I got an PM with the question which backlink methods didn't work for me. As I have just 25 blog posts as I write this I am not allowed to send private messages. So, here is my answer:

I have bought several forum links packages. I don't advice you to buy forum links. They look attractive (especially in the way they are promoting them, by thousands of them), but these thousands will never be indexed. And also when they are indexed they don't carry any weight. Your rankings will not improve, they come from Chinese, Japanese, Russians forum website and your rankings are likely to drop.

Because of these links, all my "legitimate" link building efforts don't show any improvement, because Google doesn't trust my site...

I advise you if you want to build links, let them build relevant blog articles to your website (especially from blogs that carry "PR" and "authority" with them.

Also I don't advice you to build link packages where they tell you to write 10-15 articles for you on blogs like Wordpress, Squidoo etcetera ( Squidoo has a nofollow on your links so they don't pass link juice)..

I advise you only the above strategy when you have small niches and rankings are easy to gain. Then PR0 relevant articles from such authority sites will work.

However, I think you can make the most out of your money when you subscribe to a service link SEO link vine (it's very expenisve) or some substitute of that. I don't know many services like SEO link vine, but I know there are a lot of services like SEO link vine, but cheaper.

I think links from such websites will work, but to profit from your monthly investment you need to deliver "a lot of spun articles" and hope that other blog owners will post your articles on their website. So you are paying a monthly subscription fee, but you don't know if blog owners like your articles that much that they want them posted on their website.

That's why I decided that I want to make my own blog network of authority websites with a little bit of PR by buying aged blogs which aren't updated in the last couple of months and then write "real, relevant and not spun articles" for my money websites.

It will take some time, but the efforts - I think - will be rewarded.

The most powerful links are the ones that are in the "context", so within the text and not on some place on the homepage of a website. Thus, relevant articles are the best.

And a second condition for a powerful link is that it must be one from a respected, aged and authorative blog/website (in the eyes of Google).

So every service which has "just a little bit of these two properties", it's a great service to work with..

But I definitely won't use forum links, social bookmarks or blog comments.

A lot of dofollow blog comments are powerful too. But you need a lot of them, but the problem is: these dofollow blogs are used by everyone. Thus, every article has hundreds, if not thousands blog comments on it. Then your link between these others is nothing worth.

Hope I have helped you to decide which link building strategy you will use.

Goath.

As many have mentioned - you'll have better luck finding aged domains with some PR that are about to expire - you should be able to pick up PR2-3 for $30-80 bucks depending on the bidders etc... way easier than the grunt work involved contacting people trying to buy blogs.

You'll also want to really consider the hosting options. Just because you buy a hosting package that gives you a different class C ip per site doesn't really give you a good diversity - think a few different shared packages with different aliases if possible. try and spread this out as much as you can.

I have the same ideas with you but I think I don't have much time to do it. I have about 5 unused domains that I planned to build blogs with them. But due to buzziness, the plan has been KIV.

If you are looking for dead blogs, there are many. You can find them easily on online forums like DP, v7n, or NamePros. The price will vary but still cheap compared to the profit you will gain in the future.
