Affiliate Marketing and Seo Blog Just One Word: SUCCEED!

Best Blog Networks: Articleranks, 1WayLinks, AMA, MAN, Seolinkvine

If you are doing affiliate marketing one way of getting backlinks should be joining one (or several) Blog Networks. You will find a list of my favorite ones below. You should know that all of them have disadvantage and advantages. This is why none of them is bad, they are all good for gaining backlinks. The blog networks listed below are the ones in Seolinkvine style (not Linkvana style.. I will talk about these ones later). Seolinkvine style means: you submit one spun article and it gets send out to x number of participating blogs.

You should also note that getting a FAST and reliable article spinner software is a MUST HAVE. My favorite tool is The Best Spinner

My personal winner: Articleranks

Articleranks is in my eyes the best blog network. Why? Articleranks has more PR1+ blogs in the network than any other blog network. The reason behind this is that only if you add a PR1+ blog you will get credits. You may use these credits to submit articles to other blogs. The more powerful your site the more credits you will receive for each distribution. Also: in addition to this   as of the 2nd April 2010, you can now add static sites to the system, where they will publish via FTP. None of the other blog networks offer such a high quality. I have been a member since February and I am getting real visitors from Articleranks on a daily base. Their blog network is growing rapidly and one article gets an average of 80 backlinks in 30 days. You can either become a paid member and get unlimited article submissions for $37 a month, or you buy one article submission for $2, or you add your blog, earn credits for publishing other user's articles and use these to distribute your own articles to other members blogs.

Second Winner: 1Waylinks

As of today there are 4100 blogs in the 1Waylinks blog network. The good thing about 1waylinks is that they have more unique C-Class blogs in their network than any other blog network. The reason is that a user may only add one domain per C-Class block to the network. You may know that Google values links coming from different C-Class IP blocks a lot more than links coming from different domains residing on the same C-Class IP block. The C-Class Ip rule results in a lot of users adding a blog to their main domain, so you will find a lot of PR1+ blogs in the network. What I do not like is the fact that there are no categories to choose from and you only get 250 links (50 additional links for every blog you add and where you will accept content). The problem of the missing categories is that blogs look spammy, because you will receive all kinds of articles. The price of 1Waylinks is $47 a month. However, the first month only costs $7.  Although there are many disadvantages, 1Waylinks is still my second favorite blog network.

Three: Myarticlenetwork and ArticleMarketingAutomation

First of all you should know that Myarticlenetwork (MAN) and ArticleMarketingAutomation (AMA) are the SAME thing.  So there is no need to join both of them! They have a different name and different website, but the blog network they are using is the same. The good thing about MAN and AMA is that there blog network is huge (about 20,000) blogs. So your article will be published to a lot of blogs pretty fast. The downside: blogs are of pure quaity and most of them are PR0. But well... a link is a link and of course there are a lot of PR1+ blogs as well. So MAN and AMA is still a good way for gaining backlinks.

Four: SeoLinkVine

There has been a lot of hype about Seolinkvine in the past weeks. They re-opened their doors on 28th April and I joined on that date. You can read my full review here. Articles still get sent out pretty slowly and it will take some time for their network to grow. As of now they are on the last rank of recommended blog networks. Do not get me wrong: this does not mean they are a waste of time. If you are doing affiliate marketing every backlink counts, so Seolinkvine will get you backlinks, no doubt about that. But they are slow and I expect the quality of blog network sites to be about the same quality than Myarticlenetwork (MAN) and ArticleMarketingAutomation (AMA)
