Blog networks has became the 1-stop SEO solution for many marketers relying on high ran kings and organic traffic.
It’s the only low cost and in many cases almost automated method of getting the required IP diversity and in-context linking from high PR domains which is considered as a real ranks booster as compared to links spamming of any kind.
There are numerous blog networks right now that we can use for free or by paying a membership fee. Some of these networks are based on the private sets of domains controlled by network owners (like BacklinkSolutions, SE Slingshot (AKA Elite Link Network? – just read their pages closely:) , Build My Rank and several others.
Other networks are massive sets of blogs that are brought by the network members. One of the most well known examples now is Authority Link Network, that counts more than 11000 domains now!
So, submitting posts to these networks is the way to get some backlinks and probably higher rankings. Does this strategy work? Definitely yes! – I personally use it a lot, all known marketers use it as well, the difference is probably in the mix of networks, but this is not so important now.
I’ve noticed that despite doing blog network submissions on a massive scale (right now my 2 assistants doing this and me personally) – for some of my sites I don’t see any returns on our work AT ALL!
I mean – dozens of daily submissions, linking back to the same pages of my sites, varied anchor texts, IP diversity, high PR domains, link velocity … – and rankings are not moving up. And the same situation for over several months…
Since I’m a member and contributor to several of blog networks, let me give you an insider look at all this blog network submission process.
Recently I submitted the fresh PR3 domain to one of the blog networks (I will not disclose it’s name, as well as the domain name for privacy reasons, since I’m a live member of it). This is not ALN though 
The submissions to this blog started to proceed on January 01, 2012.
As of now, January 22, 1012 there are 5259 posts on this domain. It’s approximately 239 posts a day, wow!
And now let’s see how many posts have been indexed by google. I’ll simply use the site: command in google, you can even minus tag pages, archive, category and other pages like privacy, contact.
As we see here, only 3.55% of the posts made to this domain were indexed by google. The rest of submission was a waste (yet).
Ok, this was extreme example – I’m shocked myself 
Now let’s take a look at another PR2 site that I use as a member of another blog network. This is also the fresh domain and submissions started on 22.12.2011.
There’s a total of 259 posts published on this domain so far. How many are indexed by google? 145 total, and we have to minus all the same tag, category, archive pages… Even if we don’t minus these, the best indexing scenario gives us around 55% of indexed posts.
So, despite having a good inventory of aged and high PR domains, there are other factors that determine if the blog network can help your site grow in rankings.
My recap is as follows:
- how many posts per day are published on the network’s blogs (= how long your post stays on the homepage of the the blog)
- are there any supporting options to increase the indexing rate of posts? (RSS creation/submission for each post + social bookmarking)
By the way – homepage of the blog may be cached by google earlier than the inner pages, so if you see that homepage is cached on, say, January 14, it doesn’t mean that all the blog posts or pages that are added later are not indexed.
So, on my opinion blog networks submissions is a viable strategy when it’s utilizing high quality blog networks, plus the extra indexing measures is a must, otherwise we’re simply wasting the majority of our efforts here.
Among the networks that I use, it’s:
I heard a lot of amazing feedback about Build My Rank network as they also use the indexing enancing measures for the posts made on their blog network.
However, there’s still some measures that can significantly help in making more published posts with your backlinks get indexed by google. I will talk about these in the folowing post.
So far, how are your sales or adsense earnings? I see a good spike of online activity and buying traffic is coming in… Adsense has already exceeded my previous month’s level – mostly due to increased traffic. New adsense sites that I’m creating are not yet showing any signs of success – multiple top 3 rankings for some inner pages unfortunately don’t result in many clicks. I still work on the main keyword rankings for these sites, which are around page 2.

Well i also used AMR a lot. even if get 300 submission successful. No guarantee of indexed by google. And i expect ranking improve after few weeks only. I have used fivverr for edu links out of 10 only 1 indexed. So, i have submitted 300 BMD to them. So, that at least they get indexed.
I have seen movement in serp for many of niche sites. I think you need to try article marketing to high PR directories and make bookmarks to them as. This will surely push you sites or try http://www.hoistseo.com with other things as well.
In my view effective seo is to index things on google with quality this will rise serp position for sure. I feel google algorithm should have some kind og filters, domain age, number of pages index in history, number of incoming links rate etc. All this decide ultimate serp push which makes any blog authority blog.

What I’ve notice recently is that article marketing links still work but it takes longer for Google to find those links. Just because it’s not CNN, G don’t think it’s worth to visit the site often and to crawl everything carefully.
And in recent post Trent has mentioned the same from his experience.
Your example blog links are about 22 days old. Maybe it’s not enough for G to find all those links (?) And I guess it’a a brand new blog too (?), 22 days is super green
