The best part about having an IM Advantage membership, is access to Blog Blueprint. I’ve been using it for the past couple of weeks, and it is dead simple to use and the results have been fantastic. For those who haven’t read about it yet, Blog Blueprint is a web based link building tool. It essentially allows you to submit your own blog posts into the system, and once it’s approved, it will get randomly posted to one of many available PR2-PR5 blogs on the network. Posts have to be a minimum of 100 words in length and you can include 1 link per post.
I hope you can see from my description how powerful this is. In my experience, having a highly relevant link in the body of a blog post is quite a bit more powerful then some random link on the sidebar or footer of a page, which is normally what you get with Link Blueprint. With Blog Blueprint, you have control over the article itself so you can make sure that it is highly relevant to the site you are linking to. The 100 word minimum is actually pretty easy to meet, and you can usually churn out small blurbs in less than 5 minutes each.
When you log into your Blog Blueprint account you’ll see a list of your posted articles. Your articles can be in one of four states: pending, approved, published, or disapproved. There is someone who does actually look at the posts you submit to maintain quality of the network which is a good thing. Just don’t post any adult or gambling topics and you should be ok. Articles get approved several times throughout the day (even on weekends), so you never have to wait too long to get your links posted. One downside of the system is that you are currently limited to 10 published posts per day. However, you can input as many articles you want into Blog Blueprint and they will be automatically drip posted for you.
A strategy I’ve been using with Blog Blueprint is to maintain a set of short 100 word articles centered around the sites I’m working on building links for. I spin these articles using an article rewriter like Magic Article Rewriter or The Best Spinner. Then whenever I want to write a post, I’ll spin a version of a relevant article and tack on a short three sentence paragraph to the end of it that includes my link. In this way, I can generate several relevant links to my sites in a matter of minutes.
So, does Blog Blueprint work? We’ll if you’re reading this post then you can be sure it does since I’m using it on this site. One thing I can definitely say is that once your post gets published by the system, it gets indexed by Google incredibly fast. While it’s probably not enough to make Blog Blueprint the only part of your link building process, I think it should be an essential piece of it. If you are an IM Advantage member, check it out for yourself, and let me know in the comments what you think of it.
