I’ve been playing around with the free traffic system which is a site that allows you to submit a 400 word article with two self serving links to up to 30 blogs. And I have to say I haven’t been overwhelmed by it yet.
I have just chosen the free options (there is also a paid option where you get an extra link and 10 extra blog’s per article) and while I am seeing a few copies of my articles around they are usually on very low quality spammy looking blog sites.
Because I’m just testing this, I didn’t want to send the links to any of my money sites, so I’ve been sending them to HubPages and EzineArticles that I’ve written instead.
So far the backlinks haven’t significantly shown any improvement in either the EA articles or hubs.
So should you sign up?
Well, it probably can’t hurt since it’s free right? I guess the only thing it will cost you is your time to write the articles and some extra time to put in the unique spinning syntax that they use.
Of course most backlinks in my experience usually take a month or two to show any significant movement in the serps so it could be early days.
But I really don’t think you are missing out on much by not using it.
I’ll continue to test it for a few months, but really I find much better ways to get backlinks that do seem to help.
But if you want to check it out for yourself – feel free >>
HI Tracey,
Know your blog from infoproductkiller.com. just bought it and this is the first info product i buy.
just a bit questions if you don’t mind to share.
when u make your minisites and follow the opseo , do your site straight to page 1 google? or do you also need many backlinks to do that.
regarding freetrafficsytem,since u just test only on your EA articles or hubpages,so from your experience better not to use it on our money pages?
thanks,
stella
Hi Stella,
It depends on my minisite and keywords as to where it sits right out of the gate. I do find that most of time I will need some backlinks to them although not alot. Most of the time I’ll write an article or two and put those on ezinearticles, and then write a hub and that will be all I need.
I notice that the more pages my minisite has then the better they tend to rank. My best site has around 10 pages and does very well.
As for freetrafficsystem, I haven’t seen any great results from them so probably won’t bother with them too much. I’ve only sent links to my EA articles and hubs though. I know plenty of people do send them to their money sites so it wouldn’t actually hurt your site, but I just don’t want to risk it.
Hope that helped
Tracey
thanks a lot tracey
