Blog BluePrint review – once again, I only mention products on this site that I have used and or continue to use. I would not urge anyone who is a reader of this blog to invest in a product unless I have trialed it myself, hence my write up here about BB software.
-
What Blog Blueprint does is to enhance the rankings of a web page – or a whole website, depending on what you need. The way to do this is by submitting short 100+ word snippets to their database. Upon approval, which usually occurs within 24 hours at most, the posts are then published to various blogs and websites that are owned by the people behind the product.
Apparently all those blogs and sites have a PR between 2 and 5, although I’ve heard a few of those who use the product say that this is not entirely the case – at times their posts are being listed on PR n/a sites. Thus its the Page Rank juice which is conferred to our posts, which then feeds through our backlink.
-
The idea is to insert a single link with your chosen keywords within the link, inside the 100+ word post. If you use a good article spinner such as The Best Spinner (links to my review and price discount), then the creation of hundreds of these snippets is so easy its almost unbelievable!
One limiting factor is that you are only allowed to submit 20 posts per day. This literally means that if you have a number of sites or a few large sites that require a lot of backlinking to their inner pages, then I’m afraid you will be thoroughly limited and thus no doubt somewhat frustrated. However, the benefit of this is that the backlinks will be drip fed – its not possible to go mad with backlinking if using Blog Blueprint alone.
-
What about my results?
There is no doubt in my mind that Blog Blueprint had a very nicely beneficial effect upon my sites.
I should mention however that purposely I chose keywords that were not too tricky to rank highly for. Some of the older sites I used Blog Blueprint for were more difficult. The newer sites tended to be relatively easy to medium difficult – most of the keywords I was targeting receive around 2 thousand to 15 thousand searches a month according to Google stats.
-
However, most of my sites (pages) that I began targeting with Blog Blueprint were beginning to lose their places in Google. Most were top 10 early on but were beginning to slide. After using Blog Blueprint for just a couple of weeks, almost all the pages went back to top 10, and furthermore many of them went top 5 with a few being first or second rankings.
Its good – very good! For all the effort that is required in writing out the snippets, inserting relevant keywords into each post and then posting them for approval and publication (not much effort at all, really), this tool does very well with regards performance!
Worth it? Yes! A great investment for anyone who is undertaking SEO on their own sites or other people’s!
How much? $57 US per month. (I have to pay $68.40 per month due to the dumb UK tax rules!). But if you take the product via my link above, then I will offer you a $15 refund for every month you use it. All you need do is to send me your purchase receipt for me to issue you with monthly refund. Because this is a Clickbank product and because Clickbank offer a 60 day money-back guarantee, please only send me your receipt of purchase once the 2 month period is up and I will happily re-imburse you the $15.

Hi Rob, nice to have you over here! To be honest Rob, I think there is enough info on this blog even now to have you up and making a full time income from it, given a good few months, if you are at the early stages of SEO and internet marketing.
Furthermore, I shall be doing my own “exposure” of fairly much a ground-up walk thru of my own gains in income over the coming months. My eBay income is okay right now, but there is room for huge improvement, and my AdSense income is so paltry but its beginning to grow simply because of some “stuff” I’ve been implementing in the past 3 weeks.
And the way I am going about this is either already written about, or I will write about it soon. Thus things that I do can be replicated by you and by anyone who would have a notion for doing so, really.
One email I received of recent was about what to do if you are a “noobie” to this game. I really don’t like that word – it seems somewhat derogatory. Anyhow, the first thing on the list was “don’t read blogs about internet marketing”. Makes sense – information over-load is a major problem for all of us who spend time online. Where to stop?
What I eventually managed to do was to pick out just a few folks whom I trusted and who provided good info regularly. Trust is a BIG BIG thing here, actually! If you read a blog and you can sense trust then this will have you cut down on the amount of errors you make yourself. The amount of times I’ve read up on techniques on “how to ramp up your web traffic by 10 times” or something, and only to find 3 months later that the technique does not work – information is missing. 3 months wasted, and probably a few hundred dollars wasted too.
If you can find someone (or just a few folks) you trust and give it to you straight-up, then those are the ones you should be following along with, and forget everything else or you will be up for information over-load, no doubt about it!
Hope to see you over here again Rob!
Regards
Joseph
You are absolutely right about the trust Joseph. And I must say that all your help has been greatly appreciated and much trust earned! I will definitely be stopping by and if you need someone to do a write-up on anything (I’m thinking about documenting my use of blog-blueprint over the next month or two) just let me know! Cheers man, Rob

You are most welome Rob, and glad I could help out with some pointers! Its a pity that Blog Blueprint did not have an affiliate program – for obvious reasons
Keep in touch Rob and let me know how things are progressing your end, please!
Kind regards and thanks for your feedback!
Joseph
Hey Joseph – I just read this interesting review you have of Blog Blueprint (another one of my favorite backlinking programs as you already know). I wanted to let you know there is now an affiliate program now (as of a couple weeks ago).

Waaaa… the amount of aff sales I could have had for that product Michelle!! Mostly from Warrior Forum exposure. But its better late than never, so that’s so cool of you to let me know about the aff! I owe you one! I’ll be over to your blog shortly to check up your income stats – it always makes for a good read, so it does!
Thanks again Michelle!

Yep, would’ve had one from me for sure Jo

Hehe, what to do tho Rob? I think the Blog Blueprint review page has been perhaps the most-visited page on this site to date, with possible exception of the do-follow social bookmarking sites list (which is in real need of an over-haul as things keep changing there so quickly regards do-follow rules).
If we could turn back time…
Cheers!
Jo
Thanks for the review Joseph.
Do you use Blog blueprint to link directly to your website(s), or to articles that link to the site(s)?
I’ve a new site which I’ve just started to build links to, which would you do? Or maybe a mix?
Many thanks in adiance,
Justin
Hi Justin,
I’m sure Jo will have a good response that is based on a bit more experience than I have but personally I use it to link directly to my posts using keywords that I am trying to rank for and have had some pretty awesome success with keywords that are moderately difficult.
I’m sure you could use it to build some strength to your other backlinks though!
Cheers,
Rob
Rob @ Portable Digital Recorders recently posted..Top 5 Cheap Electric Guitars Reviews and Information
Hi Justin,
I am really impressed with Blog Blueprint. And I keep up the payments for it every month. I do not do that with any other product, other than Link Juicer, for now.
Na, just link BB to your money site, its all that is needed.
If its a really high end keyword phrase that’s worth 2 thousand dollars a month then its not going to pull in fast results. If its something that is maybe more targetted toward the 30k mark with regards to search volume, then yes, this thing could be good for that.
But yes, for sure, a good mix is what we all need when it comes to ranking well in the search engines (particularly Goolge, for now).
Great, thanks for the advice Jo and Rob.
Would you ever Link Juice the BB posts?
Can you recommend a tool any better than Google Alerts for keeping track of my keywords?
Thanks in advance,
Justin
Well there we go then Justin, Rob says it all regards his own experience with BB. Awesome results says it all.
You must keep in mind though, that these links are not guaranteed to provide for long term backlinks. If you wish for long term backlinks then… I don’t know how to guarantee this. Not too many back-links will stick for years to come. But regards to short term links that really work well – I reiterate what Rob says here – Blog Blueprint is very good!
Link Juicer looks awesome! Just signed up!
Hi Justin, Rob is one of those TOP guys that rarely you come across. So I value his input as much as you do! After all, he is a Classical Guitarist genius, no less! I am totally humbled by this guy!!!
Keeping track of your keywords and who is doing what regards to that…
Hmm… yes, for sure you can set up a Goog alert for that. If you got a few keywords then that’s cool. If you have more than a few then you will be all day at it!
I know Jon Leger sent out a very nice email recently regards setting up Goog Alerts and what have you (I have huge admiration for Jon and also for his business partner Joyce (aka HoneyJo), who is a very close friend. But fact is, if you are busy on your sites then you will have little time to follow up on your Goog Alerts. I myself set that up time and again but was swamped with too many other things besides. Try it out for youself. It may work well for you.
But no, don’t need to link BB with Link Juicer.
Erm, well ok, once it comes around to it, yep, I take that back. I am just starting to do that now with regards to the site I mentioned. I am seeing some very good results with LJ regards to that site, but I want for more!! Hence I now – just today, actually, am linking up BB with that site to a fuller extent than previously.
As a matter of fact Justin, I have a post just primed and ready to go with regards to how to save some money for your Blog Blueprint monthly fees. Its a fairly hefty fee and I don’t want to sacrice my monthly income to it. There are ways and means to circumvent this – all in a good cause, of course! Do remind me to delete this part of the post later on, please
Yes Rob, looking good. BUT, wait till I come up with some more results before you have to commit to paying for it. Take the freebie and see how that goes.
I’m off across the globe to “chat” about how “we” can do better than Justin Beiber and Usher (Usher is coming to Kuala Lumpur shortly) (those guys are not the most talented – I hear some folks who are more gifted than they are almost every day), if only we put our minds to it. Us bloggers, after all, should stick together! Let’s make this real strong! I love to have my rant, after all!
Did that make sense, Rob? Its almost 5am here, after all. Another sleepless nite goes by…
Hahaha, made sense to me Jo, I think… Seems like I’ve been at this for days straight now myself. Starting to see some pretty encouraging results though. Actually made a couple sales today! Got some freelancing work doing some writing and stuff so it’s all good. Anything to avoid getting one of those Jobs everyone is telling me to get
I’ll give the juicer a go for the free trial on a few words I’m targeting, maybe even do a bit of a case study for your blog here if you want?
Whats this about lowering Blog Blueprint fees? I’m ALL EARS!
Can’t be saying out loud about lowering BB fees Rob. I’ll be whispering in good time, however…
Okay, sounds good regards what you are seeing in SERPS. Take into account there may be some Goog dancing too.
Very good news about the sales today! That’s fantastic! And the writing too – looking good! Avoid the j.o.b. at all costs
Actually, a case study for LJ or BB would be most welcomed on this blog, Rob! Just say it how it is. I would want for no less or no more, for that matter.
Hi Joseph,
I have been following some of your threads on warriors over the past few days and found them really good
I’ve added you as “one few folks whom I trust” when it comes to IM, so you have a new reader in me!
Quick question tho, as I am new to this I am keeping my outgoings as low as possible for now, I was wondering if you were still using and having success with the blog blueprint program? Have you ever compared it to the likes of Linkvana?
Right – early night tonight – got marketing to do tomorrow!!
Stu
Hi Stu, that’s great – and thanks for saying so! Yup, I see from another reader on the Warriors that just yesterday, the “old” Twilight Posterz site is still sitting top, which is fairly encouraging considering I’ve not worked on it now for weeks, except to try to get the internal affiliate links up and running.
With regards to your questions:
LinkVana: I utilized LV a couple of times over-all. One time was about 18 months ago when I used it for 2 months and felt it was far too expensive to then not see any results at all. I was then re-tempted to use it for a short time during the Warrior Challenge, but fairly quickly got the “scares” and dumped it. I’ll not use it again as I’m simply not convinced enough that it works well enough.
Blog Blueprint: I’ve been using that for about 7 months or so and even though its still a bit clunky, I like it. It suits my style. And you do see fast results with it, although if you want to rank for some tougher kwds which have reasonable competition, then you would need more than BB to do that. BB is fine either for ranking very easy kwds, or as part of an over-all strategy, Stu. But in my opinion – LV is simply too costly to worth investing in as the results I received from its use were absolutely minimal indeed.
Good luck with the marketing!
Regards
Joseph
Hi Joseph,
I’m really considering trying this out for a month but just wanted to check something out with you first. You say that you should submit spun/different, posts/articles to different sites so as not to create a footprint. What I don’t understand is Blog Blueprint submits a post to 20 sites a day. Does that mean you have to submit 20 respun articles a day? The same question applies to UAW really. You recomend respun articles but how can UAW submit your article to 100′s of directory’s and it still not create a footprint?
Tom
Hi Tom, comment updated.
Regards Blog Blueprint – yup, you have to submit spun content (or indeed, if you wish – purely fresh content) to the system so that the footprint is much less detectable. Hence the beauty of something like The Best Spinner, which will spin one article to make up to 250 unique articles in one go.
Regards to UAW, they claim that they “re-work” your article to make many different articles. It seems to work well even though you cannot manipulate the amount of paragraphs, which I would have thought would have lessened any footprint. Its wise to vary the word count in each article to some extent. And because its only 3 articles that are fed into the system at any one time, this is easy to do.
Further, do make a point of varying the resource boxes – both word count and of course anchor link text. To get more submissions, try to keep your articles very general in nature.
If you use spinning as part of your backlinking methodology Tom, then I would think that potentially you are creating a footprint to some degree. But if you take the steps above with regards to UAW (or any SEO type service where you can), you are reducing the potential for footprint substantially.
Hi Joseph, thanks for the review of Blog Blueprint. I know this comes recommended by Pat as well (thru your recommendation). I will be buying BB for my link building.
My question is whether or not you believe Article Blueprint is worth the additional $10/month investment on top of BB? I know it’s similar to UAW in that you can create multiple spun versions of your article and splicing it across 3 paragraphs to submit to directories. I’ve read a little that it’s not as powerful as UAW. Just wondering if you have any thoughts.
Thanks.
Hi Kevin, indeed Pat is recommending pretty much everything that I used via the 40 Day Challenge on Warriors. It worked well for him, so why not recommend it.
Okay, with regards to Article Blueprint – I never actually used it. I do have a good friend who is high end in making his IM business work for him who continues to purchase the whole Blueprint package via my affiliate link, and he has been doing so now for the past 4 months. He knows his stuff having been under the tutelage of Courtney Tuttle (Courtney has been in this game longer than I have and he speaks how it is (and he makes far more money than me and Pat put together!!). But at the same time, he is running a very large and lucrative business…), and he does not mess around either. In fact, I should make a point of asking him how things are going with regards to that so I can feed back on the blog here.
As for UAW. I can vouch for that service more than any other because I have used it on and off for over 2 years now. It worked back then and it works now too – and I sense it will work in 5 years time also. But you have to kinda figure how to work it to your advantage.
I used UAW exclusively on a site that I managed to rank top 5 for in a niche that had pretty serious competition. Its still ranking top 5 – even now after a year of no other backlinking work from me. Having said that though – I had serious doubts about the UAW ability before that because I had used it aggressively beforehand.
When I first used UAW I had little idea what to do with it. But through time and experience it really started to figure in my “serious tools” list. There are lots of faults with UAW, but fact is – it still does work very well, and would be a very valuable asset to any SEO campaign. Plus if you are from the UK then there is no added tax, which can be a UK internet marketers nightmare.
There are 3 things that are definite in this life… taxes, death, and more taxes if you come from the UK!!
Thanks for coming by here Kevin!

Joseph
Joseph,
Thanks for doing this review. Really appreciate you sharing from your experiences. I have a question regarding Blog Blueprint vs BMR. I’m currently using BMR and hiring writers to post there. Re. Blog Blueprint, its only 100 words/link and it accepts spun content, is that the main difference with BMR? So, I can use 1 snippet in spinnable format numerous times just by clicking a button on the Best Spinner?
RE. the 20 post per day limit, is that per BB account? So they don’t have domain # limits like BMR right? I’m assuming you can open a 2nd account if you need >20 per day.
OK, thanks a lot for your information.
Edward
Hi Edward, you are welcome!
Yes, that is the main difference to BMR – accepts 100 word snippets and you can spin your content. And yes, you can spin your content at the click of a button via The Best Spinner. Makes it much less laborious than BMR – or in your case, probably a lot cheaper since you are outsourcing your writing, which is exactly what I did with BMR.
Yup – 20 posts per day per account. At times I had 2 BB accounts so that makes 40 posts per day. And no domain limits like what BMR have now initiated, which is not much good if you have a lot of domains to work on.
Cheers!
Joseph
Joseph,
Thanks for the reply. How valuable is a typical BB link compared to a typical BMR link from your experience?
From my limited experience, BMR post gets indexed fast almost 100% of the time and I’ve seen my site move up from BMR posts. What’s been your experience with BB?
Second question, I saved most of my BMR post, I was wondering if I could just use the same exact article and submit it to BB. Is this OK, first as far BB is concerned, second how would Google see if it finds two exact posting on different sites?
Thanks,
Edward
Hi Edward, hmmm… I liked BB, in fact so much that I kept the account for six months on the trot, which is incredibly unusual for me to keep something running as long as that – in fact, I had 2 BB accounts at one time, running in tandem. The backlinks most certainly are powerful. Their indexing rate is rather less than BMR, which is not at all surprising – every other tool on the market does not gain as much indexing as BMR does, not that I know of anyhow.
I heard some negative chat about BB – this and that – you know – the usual stuff, even from some reputable SEO folks. But it worked well for me and that’s all that matters.
BB will not accept dupe content I’m afraid Edward. So that kinda knocks that one on the head. But BB – as you know, accept spun content, which cuts down the costs rather a lot if you are indeed outsourcing which I believe you are.
Regards
Jo
Joseph,
I’ve been trying BB for about a month now. I’m not seeing link indexing rates that I see with BMR. I’ve also been using Backlink Energizer a bit and find this tool to be very effective. So I’ve been collecting pingback urls from all my sites and feeding them to BE to very great effect. Most of these pingbacks do get indexed after BE. The problem I have now is that BB postings have not been giving me pingbacks reliably, so there is no way for me to get a url list of my BB postings. Do you know if I could somehow get the url list of my BB posts? I’m trying to find out if there is something I could do to get pingbacks more reliably also, so let me know what you think about this.
Thanks,
Edward
Hi Edward, thanks for your feedback!
Yes – BB never has proven to have a very high indexing rate from its inception, but nevertheless – it is an effective tool and suits some people more than does BMR, even though BMR provides a really high indexing rate.
BE I’ve heard about but I will never use that tool for personal reasons. Thanks for the feedback all the same!
I am not familiar with any way that you can obtain the BB url’s other than via pingbacks I’m afraid Edward. But as I’ve said a number of times, I personally could care less about indexing rates, Goog PR juice and all of that stuff – if a tool is helping me with my web page rankings without me having to bust my ass, its a valuable asset to my business and I’ll continue with my investment purely from this point of view and despite a low indexing rate etc. Its all about return on financial and time investment after all and that’s all I want to worry about at the end of the day.
Best to you Edward!
Joseph
How good are these PR3-PR5′ blogs? Also, are there relative blogs to any niche? Or is it just and PR3-5 blog, as is quality beats quantity, I’d like to see Google saying YAY high PR with a similar blog/site linked together! Getting close to trying this out, as manual blogging sux lol.. Waiting for your quick reply
ShakD, folks like to complain and I’m no different
and folks like to complain about BB just as they would any other tool. But for me BB was one of the best tools I ever used simply because it really helped get me the rankings that I needed to get. So no matter how much analysis about how high the PR blogs are which are being used to post to on BB, how much Google indexing there is or is not, how long the links actually stick for – if the tool works well then it should be considered for becoming part of your “set up” if you have the initial cash flow ($59 per month and if you take it via my link you get the saving).
I now personally have a preference for Build My Rank, but I don’t have much of a problem for plodding along with a few hand-crafted posts per day to get the links (although I do miss out a day here and there). Therefore, BB is a super alternative in this respect – its much more automated than what BMR could ever be.
Hope that helps and does not serve to hinder.
Alrighty Joseph, you helped me take a confidence leap. my sites ain’t moving on their own so let’s try something new! I’ll try your aff link just as long as you continue to help me when you can!
Cheers!
weird.. none of the links let me go to the proper site! Any info would be advised. I’m ready to buy!
Cheers
Oh bummer ShakD! I’ll get that put to rights in an instant – thanks for letting me know about it!
ShakD, try out the links now please and let me know if they are functioning fine – I’ve tried and tested and they appear to be okay…
Thanks in advance!
Jo
Good to go… buying it right now!
Cool, thanks!
Question, how quick does it take to approve these blog posts in BB? I’ve already created 10 ( look at me go
) from THEBESTSPINNER at 73% uniqueness. Is it as decently quick as UAW? Hoping to hear from ya…
Thank you sir!
Its faster than UAW, ShakD. Turn around tends to be within 24 hours at most. Just look at you go!
It sure is! Wow. Over 20+ in leas than 24 hours! I started doing snippets forbthe next day so they would be pending due to the 20/day thing, and they all say published. However, im targeting two different domains and my main one I started last night was receiving all the pingbacks in WordPress which is awesome. Buy my other one wasn’t. Any ideas? I have 40 in there now n they all say “published” is this normal? I thought it would say approved if it was pending the next day 20 submission limit. Lemme know! Cheers
Hey ShakD, at the end of the day what matters is your rankings. If this service can help to improve your rankings then its doing its job regardless of pingbacks received etc. Just watch out for your progress in rankings rather than pingbacks or indexing rates etc and you’ll be on the right path to success.
Hey Joseph, great news, already in less than one week on two of my websites I have a PR3, and a PR4 DOFOLLOW link! Talk about awesome work from BB! Very happy with those results, now just to see what Google will do for me in weeks time hopefully with my rankings. my personal blog is now ranking 20′s within a month targeting a 18,000 globally searched keyword also! Success is just around the corner!
Cheers!
Ps: I will keep you in the loop
ShakD
That’s really good to hear ShakD! Yes, please do keep me posted as to your continuing progress!
Cheers!

Hi Joseph,
Thanks for the detailed review on BB and following up on all the comments so far. I have just begun my adsense campaign very recently (late Jan ’11) and I would like to know what advice would you give to a starter for BB? For example, how many blog posts should I cater for a site per day on BB? My domains are coming 2 months old, would 5 per day per domain be OK (not being shown to big G as a spammer, trying to be natural, etc)? Heck, am I even ready for BB?
What about using BB on my existing articles on Ezine, for example? Do you think this is recommended? Would it result in my Ezine articles ranking higher than my money site, (and also taking into account that Ezine articles seem to be affected by the latest G algo change).
Thanks!
Steven Liew recently posted..Project IM broke the egg!
Hi Steven, no relation to Febap Liew are you?
Oddly, I’ve just replied to another question about BB which was asked in the Contact Me post on the blog here.
If you have little to no backlinks to your sites I would take it pretty easy with the BB backlinks Steven. What with Google’s recent algo changes they appear to be even more sensitive to backlinking velocity these days. 5 per day would be fine I would think. And its wise to mix those links with a few other types of links too.
Ezineariticles – yup, they’ll soak up BB backlinks happily. And you are quite right – ezinearticles have taken a whack from Google. But I suspect that they will be back with avengeance and Google will be in love with them once again, so from that point of view its worth backlinking your ezinearticles even from now.
If you use a different set of keyword phrases in your backlinks to your ezinearticles then you will not be competing against your money site for the same rankings. On the other hand, you could engineer it where eventually you’ve got top spot with your money site for your desired kwd phrases and got other top ten rankings for the same phrases with your articles etc.
Hope that helps Steven!
Regards
Joseph
Thanks for the quick reply Joseph. And no I’m not related to Febap Liew in any ways
On your comment on “If you use a different set of keyword phrases in your backlinks to your ezinearticles then you will not be competing against your money site for the same rankings.”, could you elaborate on that? Do you mean that anchor text plays a part in the ranking / passing of link juice to the site?
Also, does it still happen that some of the BB posts are still on PR0 blogs?
Thanks again!
Steven Liew recently posted..Project IM broke the egg!
Hi Steven, if you want to rank a webpage for any one kwd phrase by using backlinks then you would insert the kwd text into a hyper link which then feeds back to the webpage you wish to rank in Google. So for example, if you wanted to rank a webpage for “pig manure” you would (for example) write an ezinearticle and add in “pig manure” as a text link in your bio box, which will then link back to the webpage you wish to rank high in the search engines, thereby passing “juice” to that webpage.
I do believe that some of the BB posts are sent to Google PR0 blogs but it could well be that the next time Google update their PR system that blog may become a PR3, where the previous PR3 blog may become a PR1. There is never any guarantee that Goog PR will be what you want it to be, but the folks who run BB know more about gaining good PR on their blogs than do most folks, hence part of the value of using this product/system.
Hope that helps Steven.
Regards
Joseph
I’ve been trying to figure out what the difference is between UAW and Blog Blue print.
As far as I can see it might be the amount of blogs available to submit and on BBP the links aren’t permanent. but “only” 300 days.
Is this it or am I missing something?
Hope you can help me out.
Ralph
Hi Ralph, I’m not sure which offers more blogs to submit to. I know that UAW claim to submit to over 800 or whatever, but when it comes down to it you could well be looking at 100 to 250 per article (set) submission. Blog Blueprint folks – I’m not sure how many blogs they claim these days, so can’t say for definite – maybe 200 in all, maybe a bit more now.
If the amount of blogs to submit to is a real concern for you, then I would suggest Build my Rank instead as they certainly appear to be regularly advancing their listed sites – plus you can see exactly where your own submissions have been placed, and follow up on them if you wish to. Google indexing rates for BMR are incredibly high also, much higher than both BB and UAW.
Sorry if this confuses you more. BMR is not for everyone – it takes more work on the whole as you cannot submit spun content at all. If you are outsourcing though, then BMR is ideal. You can follow along with a recent assessment I did of it, here…
http://www.josepharchibald.com/build-my-rank-seo-tool-assessment-and-a-sweet-deal-for-you
If it still comes down to either UAW or BB, well – that depends on what you want to rank for and really – what system suits you best. I tend to find that if I’m not outsourcing, then its a tool that I really find easy to use and not overly laborious or tedious to use on a fairly regular basis that will win out in the end, providing I already know that the tool is effective (all tools mentioned here are effective!).
Sorry there is no one answer here Ralph – that’s the nature of the game we’re in, I guess.

Purchased Blog Blueprint, thanks for the awesome deal!
Thanks Tammy! Like the name of your website by the way
Joseph, i read the reviews of BB on the internet and came to know that some people were experiencing problems with it. Is that the case?
And how is it going now for you.
Also, please tell me that if in market samurai, the top sites have almost negligible pr but very high backlinks, should we continue with the keyword.
Also, tell me if for any keyword i find an exact matched domain, how far is it beneficial in ranking in search engines.
Any help would be highly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi Sumit, there’s been issues with BB since day one. I remember when I first started using it – 18 months ago now when it was new on the market, and the forum I was frequenting at the time – XFactor’s forum as a matter of fact – well, some people were saying hang on in there with it, others were saying to dump it fast! As it turns out, I expect the ones who kept on with it were the ones to win out in the end – I know when I used it, it really worked well for me.
Re your other point. If a site which is ranking high for a term that you are interested in has low to no PR but has high backlink count, I would not touch it, unless I had the ability (financial ability and/or sheer drive) and desire to see a very long term view – if its a niche well worth pursuing and you know for sure it is, it may be worth going for. But my own general rule will be to leave these sort of kwds well and truly alone! (But, you should also consider this – say its a niche that is filled with hot competition and it pays well if you do get good rankings. Why not pick out some low end competitive kwd phrases first off and get those ranking. If it surely does turn out to be a winner from those early rankings, then you can start to build up a long term project where you are aiming for the bigger stuff with the far higher competition, and in the meantime keep on ranking for some more smaller stuff which is enhancing your profits and also enhancing the strength of your website on the whole, which means that the big rankings will be that bit easier to get – you are establishing your site as something of a branded site).
If it were the other way around – high PR and lower backlink count, I would be happy to go for it, as long as it was not too heavily branded right at the top. By that I mean that its dominated by well known companies – with exception to the likes of amazon, ebay and what have you cos we can turn them over often with some ease.
Exact match domains – still a lot of chat about this topic. In Bing and Yahoo Search, they are now taking on more strength. In Google they continue to maintain strength but its arguable as to whether its the same amount as previously. But what I have been seeing is that to rank a fresh emd say in top 20, is fast – you can expect to see it ranking within a few days (depending on level of competition). But it does not seem to mean that it will easily go much further upwards, and you still have to work in the backlinks a whole lot. That depends on your competition of course, but generally speaking this is what I am seeing. Its like the emd is not giving much more advantage over any other domain name once the early rankings are achieved. For example – one emd that I have running at the moment – 6 weeks old – 1300 global search. I am ranking 9th in Google for that emd term. I am ranking in 18th for a term that is not the emd and has around 6000 searches per month globally. There seems little added advantage between the emd keyword phrase and the non-emd kwd phrase.
Hope that helps Sumit.
Hi Joseph,
Is the BB deal from above still available? Thanks.
Hi Brett, yes, the deal is still available.

Hi Joseph, I have been using BB for 3 months now. Last month I started 2 new sites which is very low in SEO competition and I thought that I can rank instantly by using BB. I write 3 BB posts for each new sites everyday for 1 month. This is what I found:
Site 1. rank at 18 for my main keywords. The ranking is not stable, always up and down between 15-20.
Site 2. Indexed but can’t see it within 500. This is a niche that is more competitive than site 1.
So I feel that BB is not as strong as I thought it is in terms of backlinking. I feel that BMR is stronger because if I wrote a few posts daily for my other site, its ranking will definitely move. However, I never give it a test like BB.
So Joseph, what do you think about BB?
Hi Harrison, thanks for feedback on findings with BB. I use it intermittently, and use it in tandem with BMR on some sites. I feel its best to mix up the type of links you get, so even though these are similar backlinks to BMR, they still work pretty well together. However, I would always prefer – if I had to choose a single tool – to use BMR over BB. I feel that the backlinks last longer, plus they are much easier to locate. No single SEO type tool is perfect, but BMR is more “perfect” than BB, let’s put it that way.
Personally I would never use BB along, where I would with BMR. However, its good you’ve done this in order to test its effectiveness, so thanks for sharing!
