Dont let any of the old washed up wannabee search engine guys tell you differantly.

3 of the best SEO's I know, 2 of which this forum would recognize, all utilized links off blogspot, blogdrive, thumblogger, and other "authoritive" domains.

There is many people here who remember when I was pulling in 5-6k a week just off my blogspot links. I could not ever have generated that type of traffic on my own "new" domains, but was easy as shit on an authoritive domain.

And thumblogger is as almost just as big a beast as blogspot now, if you run adult websites, and dont have some free thumbloggers pushing link power to you, well then you are foolish.

Why do you see lots of free blog systems blogs in the serps? Because the root domains are monsters, and have authority. Unique content, some fresh solid links, and its all over cept the ranking.
