I cannot believe how fast the days go by, tomorrow is already Thursday!
That virus ended up being a bigger pain than I thought. Sure, it wasn’t really harmful but upon removal of it, I ended up getting a Winsock error; that had to do with Internet Explorer more specifically and the winsock error was preventing me from using SEO Link Dominator and Digsby (my IM chat client that also allows me to see all my incoming mail over my 5+ email accounts). I tried running winsock doctor on it but it didn’t seem to fix the problem. So, even though I was trying to get rid of the virus without having to do a System restore, a System Restore was ultimately needed to fix that winsock error. Oy vey!
Good news is that I am now able to use SEOLD again and Digsby works! I also got rid of AVG and I am using the 30 day trial of ESET NOD32. So hopefully I get a bit more protection than the free version of AVG.
Last night I created 102 forum profile accounts with SEOLD and Terry’s Back Link Blackbelt packet in about 2 hours. I do not post my links right away. I do a “two pass” signup. So I will go back and create my links in a few more days.
On the Xfactor forum there have been some great posts talking about Blog Blueprint. I have been following the thread for over a week now and that thing sounded really enticing that I actually signed up for it today. Its a pretty fantastic deal and set-up. It costs $67.00 a month and you can make up to 20 “blog posts” a day with the system. Basically each blog post is a short 100-200 post in which you can slip in 1 anchored text link. Your blog post then gets posted to on Blog Blueprint’s personal network of blogs in which they say the page rank for blogs in the system are PR3-5. The best part is that your posts are guaranteed to be posted on actual blogs (not like UAW’s here today gone tomorrow type blogs) and your back links should not disappear. They will pass on link juice and count as back links. Blog Blueprint is being compared to Linkvana only much better and more affordable. You can read more about Blog Blueprint here. I must also say that they do approve and publish your posts pretty quickly too. I posted mine 2 hours ago and all 20 have been approved and published.
Now the real secret to using Blog Blueprint is to use it along side with The Best Spinner. The Best Spinner took me less than 5 minutes to spin my short blog post for Blog Blueprint, I spun my posts and voila….I had my 20 blog posts that were 41% unique ready to submit. If I am gonna take the time to spin my own articles, its gonna be with this software because its ideal for lazy spinners like me.
It does all the work for you. You highlight a word and instantly a drop list of replacements appears and as you choose which alternative words you want it will write it in the correct spin syntax. It doesn’t get any easier than that.
So now my main focus for my 102 xfactor sites is to back link the crap out of them. I am actually going to run a test on how well blog blueprint can work for me. I am taking my latest sites that are 6-8 days old and do not have any back linking done to them other than an RSS submission and social bookmark with Jumptags and Mister Wong. Let’s just see how much quality juice and back links I can get from BB.
Testing site: #100
Back Links at present: 0
Currrent Rank: Not even indexed (8 days old WTH???)
Blog posts on BB linking back to main webpage url: 6
Testing site: #101
Back Links at present: 1 (Mister-wong)
Currrent Rank: #16 and 6 days old
Blog posts on BB linking back to main webpage url: 3
Testing site: #102
Back Links at present: 1 (Mister-wong)
Currrent Rank: sandboxed
and 6 days old
Blog posts on BB linking back to main webpage url: 3

Have you given up on UAW?
And do those links disappear over time?
Heimir,
Yes, they can disappear after awhile. I do not know how many articles get posted to blogs within their network but a majority are obviously getting posted on sites not controlled by them. i cannot tell you how many times I have looked at back links shown using SEO Spy Glass and then when I go to click on the link I get the infamous message of “opps no such post exists”. So the bog owners are deciding to maybe first accept the article and post it but maybe just weeks later they delete it for some reason.
I myself have used the UAW plug-in that is available to members on some of my blogs. I tested it out over 5 different blogs and sometimes I would get articles that were sort of related to my niche but not as much as I would have preferred, and then I would get slammed with 4 identical articles thereafter that were obviously spun versions of the same article. So then I would delete all 4 of those articles from my blog and all the while, UAW is happy to report back to the article submitter member and say “your article was sent to xx amount of directories”. but being submitted and being posted are 2 very different things.
Blog Blueprint is not relying on any sort of safe answer of “your article might be approved” they are saying your posts are approved because they control the blogs in their network.
How many blogs do they have? Or how many links you get from one article? Are thes the guys from Commission Blueprint? Someow this guy on the video reminds me of them.
Yes, they do Commission Blueprint and they also do Niche Blueprint and Article Blueprint. I think is closer related to UAW while Blog Blueprint is more comparable to Linkvana.
Honestly, I am not sure how many blogs they have in their network but I do know that they retire blogs after they reach 300 posts so that the link juice will only be distributed among the 300 posts (links) and not anymore than that.
You get only 1 link from 1 post. So think of it as if you were guest posting on 20 different blogs. In order to guest post on 20 different blogs, you would need 20 different blog posts. Luckily, BB allows you to submit spun posts, i.e. not with spin syntax but you would spin the article in your spinner program, copy and paste the new version as post #1, go back and spin the post again in your software to get a new version and paste that as blog post #2. You will only receive a maximum of 20 links per day, should you submit 20 posts a day at least. You can go ahead and make all 20 blog posts be a spun version of 1 particular blog post and supposedly the link does not have to be relevant to the blog post itself (although I prefer relevancy).
The only drawback right now is that the human reviewers do not seem to be checking out the blog posts being submitted too carefully. They have strict rules about not posting gambling or adult sites in order to protect the blogs from linking to “bad neighborhoods” but someone on the xfactor forum decided to test the approval process by actually posting blogs that had the spin syntaxing code present and his blog post was approved, code included! Another member submitted the same exact PLR article several times (unchanged) and all duplicates were approved. I am assuming that maybe this happened because of the flood of people that bought the WSO over the past few days and that they would certainly be more careful when approving posts.
Looks Like Clayton answered it here. There are more than 500 blogs.
Sounds interesting but a bit pricey for me. I admire your courage to jump in and use the expensive tools! Then again, if you see great success I may have to reconsider

I only jumped on it because some people reported on the xfactor forum that they saw their links showing up on PR 3 and PR4 blogs days later. Less links on higher PR blogs carries more weight that 500+ back links on PR- and PR0 blogs.
Are you still using Traffic Kahuna?
.-= Carrie´s last blog ..Full Time IM – Not Quite What I Hoped =-.
Yes, I am still using TK. I still like Syndicate Kahuna (like UAW) and my other favorite is their links network. I actually think many of my sites ranking quickly for their keywords has to do more so with the link network since its the fastest way to get anchored text links and have them indexed quickly with little effort.
Although, if Blog Blueprint shows me it has better power than Syndicate Kahuna, I will downgrade my account to just have the link network portion of the program. I’ll probably stop using UAW at that point too.
What is the link network called? I signed up to be notified when Syndicate Kahuna opens up but haven’t heard anything yet.

I agree watching where your backlinks are created. I’ve been working on a plan to automate blog inserts, article posts and web 2.0 posts in an automated fashion to just reduce the loss of links.
Look forward to hearing your results with this vendor.
Cheers,
Frank
.-= Frank Thomas´s last blog ..Automate Your Life =-.
That sounds interesting Frank. I’d like to hear more about that.
I just came across your blog and wow, I’m impressed! I’m a single mom too, and have similar goals and strategies – trying to earn a full time residual income from AdSense and affiliate income so that I can parent my two year old son full time. I’ve really appreciated you detailed blog posts where you share your successes and failures with different strategies and software! You should certainly consider writing your own WSO someday.
Anyway, I wish you luck and fortune for the future and I’ll certainly be following along!

Hi Michelle,
Welcome to my blog and thanks for commenting!
I’m glad I can post about things that I try than can help others to avoid the same mistakes or maybe just to encourage them to take a chance.
Thanks for the well wishes and I also wish you much success! naturally I am biased and think that moms that are trying to earn a full time income online so they can take care of their kids at home totally rock!
@Carrie It’s a link exchange but I don’t think there is an actual name for the system. It just says “Link Exchange” in the control panel. Its a 3-way exchange. I was always hesitant to talk about it because I know people get all huffy and puffy about 3-way-links but I love it!
It seems as though from your previous posts that you have success with Blog Blueprint, but I’m wondering, have you given any thought to The Keyword Academy? They have a similar system for their members — the Guest Posting System that essentially allows you to create posts across their network of blogs, however, the page rank of these blogs varies — unlike what seems to be the case for Blog Blueprint.
I have never checked out keyword academy so I wasn’t aware they had such a system. It seems interesting. Are there any high PR blogs within the system at all?
There are quite a few high PR blogs there — across several niches I might add (not just the typical health, techy/gadget) blogs. In fact, I’ve even added my own niche blogs (or websites built on WordPress) to the system so that I could receive free content, while providing a valuable link for someone else.
The keyword academy is like a guest posting on blogs. You know how it is, the post can be accepted or denied. And all the articles have to be unique. No spinning.
I see. So it sounds like Syndicate Kahuna or even using UAW’s plug-in (the blog owner can still decide to accept or reject the content on either program).
