Blog Networks Get Squashed!
Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.
The online marketing community has recently had one of it’s main traffic generation methods completely shut down. Over the past month Google has been de-indexing blogs that are used for link building, ranking and most of all traffic.
For years internet marketers have been using articles with links back to their “money sites” as a way of building ranking in Google for targeted keywords.
For example if you wanted your website to rank for the word make money online all a person had to do was write some articles, and perhaps even spin the articles, put the term make money online a few places in the article and link it back to the target website.
With these articles in hand any number of blog networks such as Article Marketing Automation, SEO Link Vine, and Seo Link Monster, would take your articles and post them on 100s or even 1000s of blogs in their network.
Thus you had the ability to blast your keyword links to mass amounts of websites all with links back to your target website, or what is know in the internet marketing community as a “money site”.
All these links up until the last month were seen in Google eyes a vote for your target website. Well Google has had enough of that practice!
Massive amounts of website have been de-indexed. Talk about a Google slap! More like a Google knockout upper cut!
People have literally seen their years of business promotion come to an end just like flipping a switch. Countless hours of internet marketers time as well as thousand they have spent on automation software and outsourcing literally is now wasted.
Sure some automated software such as Article Demon, Bookmarking Demon, Ultimate Demon and many others are still a great value and will help automation some promotion tasks that still work.
So what is next? What is the next great online marketing solution?
Well you are looking at it right now!
What makes this so powerful is the fact that with getting your self a blog on the Empower Network you are able to write about what ever you want. You can post pictures, videos, promote your website, promote other website, promote as an affiliate, or what ever you want.
You see for a small monthly fee you are able to have a voice on the Empower Network. You do not even need your own website to make money online. Just post it here.
Why is the Empower Network so POWERFUL?
Well the Empower Network site is seen as an authority site and at the time of this post has an Alex rank of 1,155. Which means that it is the 1,155th most visited site in the world…..don’t think it is going to get less traffic anytime soon as the number of members continues to grow everyday!
