I never liked the idea of article marketing. Spending my limited time writing articles for other people’s sites just for one backlink. There are many quicker ways to get backlinks. This was until I started using Link Farm Evolution. Now with each backlink I get from these article sites, I max out their link juice by pumping hundreds of blog posts to them. Some of this filters through to my money site and those that do are worth gold! I wish I could pump the links to my own ‘third party’ sites but these articles directories are already established and have the trust factor that I need for the mass linking to stay under the radar.

I don’t normally get excited about a product but Link Farm Evolution or L.F.E for shorts blows my mind. Commenting on Do Follow blogs is dead. Read that again. Commenting on Do Follow Blogs is dead. It was HUGE in 2008 and vandalised to oblivion in 2009. Google has caught on and now do not add much (if any) weighting to links in the comment section of blogs.

What’s the next best thing to blog commenting? Having your own BLOG FARM. No it’s not the next best thing. It always was the BEST thing. The only problem with your own army of blogs was that it took forever to manage. You could be good and carry 25, maybe 100 blogs but the time required was too much to justify the seo benefits. Especially if your farms get red flagged and sandboxed.

Enter Link Farm Evolution. This baby auto does just about everything except for writing the blog posts for you.

• It finds, registers, and authenticates your blog registrations (WPMU blogs, WordPress.com, Tumblr, Blogger blogs)
• It allows you to post to 1000s of blogs in one batch job
• It supports article spinning
• It has plugins to hook into Flickr, Associated Content, RSS Feeds, and Google Translator
• It auto-solves captcha’s – I don’t know how they do this but it looks like a monkey on the other end actually reads and types the captcha code!
• Submits news and comments to PLIGG sites
• It has total control of your blogs. You can click on one link and it auto logs into your blog for you to let you do what you like in the admin interface
• Auto deletes blogs that no longer work

Man, the list just goes on and on but you get the drift. This baby has the capabilities to register thousands of blogs for you with a press of a button. No more filling in forms and clicking authentication links in your emails. This baby keeps all your blogs in the database you so you keep track of and manage your blog farm with consummate ease.

All this may sound and look like black hat but it isn’t and doesn’t need to be. Think about it. Google actually wants you and instructs webmasters to go out and build more links to their websites. If you control all the websites and actively manage & keep them up to date, you will have control over thousands of juicy links that Google will absolutely love. Remember, these are real blogs on real sites – no footprint, no dodginess. Nothing to set it apart from the millions of blogs out there. That is because they ARE real blogs.

I’ve been using LFE since the new year and I now have 1803 blogs of which 229 have been marked as not working. The link juice going to my money sites have been awegasmic. My sites literally get crawled the instant I update it. I’ve NEVER seen that crawl rate before. I’m not kidding you, when I update my sites and then google for my own site, it has next to the serp – updated 26 seconds ago. How frickin sweet is that!

The only problem I have with LFE is that it is too fricken cheap. They should price this at way over $1000 so the newbs don’t come in and trash it.

Buy it through my aff link and hit me up if you’ve got probs with the software.

Next up, I’ll try and post some tips and tricks I’ve been using to manage your blog farm to keep it legit and passing juice long time. It automates a crap load for you but, yes, you still need to think and actually do work.

What is the dofollow search engine?
Basically, it is just like any other search engine except it only brings back results from a special index of sites I’ve deemed as dofollow. Using the search engine saves time by only bringing back blogs posts related to your specialty. So say you have a site about iPhone apps, you can do a search on ‘iPhone’ and read up on what other bloggers are saying. This will mean that you will have more to comment on since it is an area you know well and it will also add relevancy to your links as the content of the post will be related to your site’s niche.

My comment policy
People naturally think that I’m a comment spammer. Whilst I may have strayed from time to time, I try to add value to the post by voicing my opinion. If I do not have anything of value to say, I simply move on to the next article or blog. This is also what I encourage other people to do. Comment spamming will only push bloggers to rethink their dofollow policy. If you are able to add useful comments though, you will not only be rewarded with some link juice, you will have helped out a fellow webpreneur feel good about themselves – well I certainly do when I receive a comment

Why do people have a dofollow blog
Having a dofollow blog can be a good strategy for fresh blogs. I for one, only have dofollow blogs on my rss. Unless you’re techcrunch or gizmodo, I don’t bother keeping up to date with your blog unless you give me some link juice for my time .

Your search engine is crap. It’s littered with nofollow blogs!
Unfortunately, there are bloggers out there who opt out of the dofollow program and change their blog back to nofollow. Checking blogs is currently a labourious manual task and I have no doubt that their are blogs in my list need to be weeded out. Please take a moment of your time to help out and contact me about these nofollow blogs that should be removed from the index.

I have a dofollow blog, can you add me in?
Sure thing! Just use my contact me page and buzz me with your sites details and I’ll drop by to verify your blog before I update my index.

Okay, enough argy bargy, where is your search engine?
I’ve made a special page to house the search engine. It is powered by google and only brings back blogs from my specifically constructed dofollow blog index
