Are free blogs even worth my time as feeder sites?
 

Should I even bother with using free blogs to promote my more important sites, I'm questioning right now if it's even worth my time.

Ask the guy on linkspun with over 1800 of them.

I guess it just depends.

the backlinks still count worth something, though maybe not as much as a tld. Feeder traffic? Maybe for a few weeks but traffic will drop because its hard to rank a free host blog

LOL :1orglaugh

I actually just made a sale today off of some shitty free blog I created a year ago

dreams do come true dont they

what you mean by "feeder?"

That's always a nice bonus.

The nice thing about some blogging programs out there is they allow scheduled posts, which can help keep them a little more relevant.
It's hard to measure ROI sometimes but I won't rule the free blogs out.


thanks for the feedback.

I would say it can't hurt. If you ever have some down time from working, you can just spend the 10 minutes creating a free blog..it doesn't cost anything so if you make a sale or link it to your main site it's a win-win situation.

why waste your time writing post for a domain that wont rank? plug a rss feed in it and keep moving...

Sure they will help a little, depends how your time is worth I suppose.

You're doing it wrong if you can't get one ranked well.

plenty of free blogs ranking well all over the place.

Is it worth your time? What is your time worth? I don't think anyone can answer that but you.

Can you gather traffic by creating them? Yes.
