Recently I found out about a new product. I’m always looking for something to speed up my tasks especially when I have been gearing up to do my annual Christmas affiliate promotions across a bunch of my blogs. This time of year I’m always busier than any other time. It’s not that I’m shopping and playing, it’s all the work to get my affiliate stuff out there. I’ve been doing this for years and it’s always a pain but the payout is worth it.
Anyway, I’m outsourcing my backlinks as always and I’m complaining about it to a friend of mine. They sent me a link to this wordpress plugin called Auto Traffic Buddy. So I checked it out and I have to say, it’s a cool idea. What this plugin does it takes your blog posts and pulls a portion of them out, rewrites them a little and posts them to a subdomain blog that you create. One of the sites for this is iloveblogging.org. I created some random subdomain just to test so the actual blog you would submit to is something like thisismytestblog.iloveblogging.org.
Unlike most marketers I’m not trying to hype this up so you will buy it. I’m trying to show you why NOT to buy it!
Here is the problem. Yes, you get back links but how good are they? Take for instance the URL where it had me create my first sub domain blog. iloveblogging.org has a page rank of o. Plus, this blog is pretty much a crap blog with random stuff in it. It has no authority and is filled with worthless crap so why do I even want a link from this site? Sure, you get a bunch of links from PR0 sites and you will help yourself a little. Heck, maybe it will help a lot! Even if it did, I don’t want to create more spam junk on the net. I don’t want to be attached to more meaningless sites just built for the purpose of making back links. That’s not how I do business and that’s not what a good steward of the Internet should do in my opinion.
For $50 bucks a month I think I would rather pay for high PR back links from real sites that will mean something to the search engines. Yes, I may pay more but I’m building more than a site to make quick bucks. I’m building a business that I want to last my lifetime and support me. Therefore, I want those links to last as well. So check out Auto Traffic Buddy if you want to. Even sign up and try it out. It may work for you. It’s not my cup of tea and I have explained why but it may be something you are interested in.
As always, I wish you luck in your business and happiness in life!
