seo & blogging, have an idea
could some experts shed some light on this idea I have (may not be orignial, but nevertheless my idea I thought of today)
I have a real estate related website that I want to rank very well.
What if I created say 10 real estate related blogs and everyday I would create a very short post or take a short article giving author credit and insert a anchor text in blog somewhere to my website, I have 300 pages, so everyday I would build gain 10 new anchor links, which would be gradual and consistent and get lots of anchor links overtime.
Now these blogs, they get ranked well by spiders easily and indexed frequented so that's a plus.
What do you experts think, be honest, any ideas to tweak it even better.
I don't expect anyone to visit blogs so text doesn't have to make sense even, could be just stuff about real estate and throw in my anchor text on that subject, I could whip up 5 senencse in 3 minutes.

add on I forgot
only thing I failed to ask is if I have 10 blogs all on blogger.com , a free service and I guess all of them are on same host/ISP is this a problem to cause penalty. IS there ANY chance of google getting mad at this or is this perfecly legit and praised by them.

Where are your inbound links to these blogs? Without that they will pass very little power to you.
I think that you will get a tiny credit for the first few links. Then after you have a worked about a year with 300 articles on each of these blogs then the search engines will decide that they are link farms.
See same comments that I posted here....

I think that you will be farther ahead to spend two hours on a great article each day that people might link to naturally rather than spending 3 minutes each slapping up 10 articles that would not be nearly of the same quality.
You get the greatest amount of power by getting links from websites that are outside of your own network.

egol, not sure I understand you totally. You said "Where are your inbound links to these blogs? Without that they will pass very little power to you."
these blogs will all have inbound links pointing to my main site.
why would this be link farm? A link farm is when websites all "interlink" with one another.
These blogs would be valuable info on real estate, most likely short articles that we just reword from local news and stick in 1-2 anchor text to my main site. So what's wrong with that, why would that be labeled link farm.
Essentially every webmaster that has website has seperate blog, I'm sure in all their post they have resource box or they are directly traffic to their main website, is that a link farm? Probably not, so I'm just confused on your statement, maybe I'm not understanding you though

I've given you my best idea for building a powerful site but you are hanging on to the shortcut method that IMO will produce marginal results or get banned.
I play to win... but considering this is Real Estate... you might find some really tough competitors.

I don't think that you read mine...
First, those blogs will pass very little power to you unless the themselves have inbound links.
Second.... "short articles that we just reword from local news and stick in 1-2 anchor text to my main site. So what's wrong with that" ....... you are flirting with plagiarism by reposting from the news - even if reworded.
Your plan might work if you are in a very weak RE market but if there is any competion at all you will need links from outside of your own network of sites. Without inbound links your blogs will not stay in the index and the SE will forget about them. Then we have the problem of your one site getting hundreds of links from each of ten sites. Possible penalties there. Manipulation.

I actually agree with EGOL but I can give you a solution for that. Try posting your blogs to different blog directories within relevant category. Remember don't post your blogs here and there and never ever use automated blog submitter. When your blog get listed on hundreds of blog directories not only you get good traffic from those directories but also you have got several One Way Links !!!

People just don`t get what you are meaning egol.
Its pretty obvious that all these article sites are creating great big footprints for failure but until people start getting really penalized for it and the lose their site competely there is no point even bothering to tell them.
I have seen you mention it a few times alately and people either ingnore you or disagree with you.
No point trying to educate people because they dont want to be educated.
Looks like when the things people are ignoring now kick in there will be a need for a big sweeping brush to sweep the mess up.

I am a bit confused. EGOL and mick.sawyer, like the OP, I too want to create about five blogs for my keywords and just post press releases with minor changes. Video game press releases are on a lot of sites and they don't get penalized, so neither should I. I'll just do this a few times a week and link to my main site. In the mean time, I'll try getting links to the blogs through directories and link exchanging.
I do not see what is wrong with this? I'll only lose a bit of time a week (even submitting to directories should not be too time consuming as I'll take it slow). I have no interest in creating unique, quality content on these blogs. Because of this, I do not see the problem,

A blog by itself has little, if any, power. If you build the blog like you would a regular site, it can have influence. But this requires BLs and more than some borderline-legal cut & paste copy. The time dedicated to making the blogs strong enough to do your core site any good could be devoted to making the core site that much better.
EGOL said it quite clearly. Can you try it? Sure. Will it work? Maybe a little. It is not worth the effort though.

I think Egol was asking you where are you going to link "too" the blogs from? Without any weight behind these blogs they are going to have very little effect on your rankings. Maybe after 6-9 monthes if you post quality info every day and get incoming links you might start seeing some payoff with increased rankings. Remember there is no magic bullet that will get you in the Top 10 and keep you there. It's hard work either way and with your industry its even harder. Good luck and I hope this helps.

I can't believe how many people come in here looking to get a site to TopSERP with no work at all or by slapping up copies of other people's content. It's possible to get a little unqualified traffic that way but it is not going to get you ranked for a term with any competition.
