I purchased Blog Submitter Pro last week and for the past 7 days have been testing the software to see if it really can help me achieve the following benefits as advertised on the sales letter.
How Blog Submitter Pro Works

When I first heard of Blog Submitter Pro I thought it was a cool idea to post comments with an incoming link to my web site automatically. searches the BlogSpot.com network of blogs and submits a comment either in anonymous mode or with your Blogger.com username to a random blog entry.
To “fool” Blogger.com that we are submitting by hand, a browser simulation is created and you will get to see the software in action as it moves through the different blogs and submits your comments to the blogs in random Blogger user accounts. Pretty amazing to watch! I estimate I have posted to over 100 blogs. There is even a ping feature built in to inform the search engines that I have posted to the blogs. In theory I should have over 100 incoming links to my sites but you have to factor in the possibility of the blog owner deleting these comments of mine and the time it takes for the search engines to find my links at their blogs.
Number of Incoming Links to my Web Site
Over the past 7 days I have been documenting my results with a free link popularity check software by Axandra. Here are my results:
| URL | Date | Total | AllTheWeb | AltaVista | Google/HotBot | MSN Search | Teoma | Yahoo |
| InternetMarketingGuy.com | 21/08/2005 | 157 | 51 | 56 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 50 |
| InternetMarketingGuy.com | 23/08/2005 | 152 | 39 | 53 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 60 |
| InternetMarketingGuy.com | 25/08/2005 | 189 | 53 | 70 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 66 |
| InternetMarketingGuy.com | 28/08/2005 | 238 | 70 | 97 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 71 |
I manged to increase my incoming links from 157 to 238. That’s 81 new incoming links to my web site in 7 days. I doubt the figures from the software are 100% accurate so you should see this as estimate.
Traffic to My Web Site
| 21 Aug 2005 | 34 | 316 | 427 | 2.82 MB |
| 22 Aug 2005 | 97 | 297 | 627 | 3.45 MB |
| 23 Aug 2005 | 114 | 559 | 984 | 5.81 MB |
| 24 Aug 2005 | 57 | 122 | 343 | 1.69 MB |
| 25 Aug 2005 | 34 | 51 | 129 | 648.95 KB |
| 26 Aug 2005 | 49 | 366 | 531 | 2.95 MB |
I did receive a bit more traffic to my web site but nothing mind blowing.
Getting Your Site (or Site You are An Affiliate Of) Spidered By The Major Search Engines
I can’t verify if Blog Submitter Pro helped my site attract the search engine spiders or was it my blog and ping efforts. I know that the search engine spiders have visited my web site just by looking at the AWStats of my web site. Getting spidered is a piece of cake. Getting indexed is a bit more challenging.
Getting Your Pages Actually Listed In Those Search Engines That Spider Your Targeted Sites
My poor test site is still struggling to get spidered and blog didn’t help getting 100% of my pages indexed after 1 week. Check out my indexed pages below:
There are over 200 pages at my test site but only 40+ pages are indexed in each search engine at the time of this writing.
Getting Top Search Engine Positions For All Of The Pages That You Have Managed To Get Spidered and Listed
I targeted the keyword phrase “Internet Marketing Solution”. I guess that’s a bit hard to to get to top 10 rankings at the search engines.
Getting Targeted Non Search Engine Related Traffic To Your Site
While I was submitting my comments to a random list of blogs at BlogSpot.com, I realised most blogs are about the personal lives of their owners. Once in a while you will see a “junk blog” that someone created to blog and ping. I simply do not believe I will be receiving targeted traffic to my Internet Marketing web site. To be honest, I believe I am being an irritant by submitting my comments to their blogs and I feel bad about it.
Annoying Bugs
I really can’t stand the fact that this software cannot simulate the clicking of the “OK” button of the browser’s “confirmation” and “alert” boxes. Check out the last 2 screenshots above to see what I mean. The automation stops whenever you visit a blog with these annoying “pop up” boxes. What you have to do is click on “stop blogging” and click on “start blogging” to get the process started again. This makes the software not 100% automated. You can’t leave it on through the night and have it post comments for you all the way because you’re going to hit one of those annoying blogs.
Blogger’s Word Verification Option To Block Comment Spam
Let’s get real. Blog Submitter Pro is simply BlogSpot.com comment spammer in my opinion. Google’s not stupid and they have this “word verification option” to allow blog owners to prevent automated blog comments to their blogs.
According to Blogger.com at http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=1203 and http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=747:
Subscribe to Vincent's Blog by RSS
Subscribe to Vincent's Blog by Email
rel="nofollow" tag, so they’ll receive no PageRank boost.You can also enable word verification for your comments. This will require an extra step in the commenting process, which will deter automated comment spamming systems.The author of Blog Submitter Pro comments on the no follow tag at http://www.holygrailofmarketing.com/tutorial/nofollow.htm:
If that site removed your link, you would immediately lose your pr5 rating (ouch!) and immediately fall out of existence.
This software creates keyword specific backlinks in a natural progression that will naturally cause your positioning to increase… so even if someone removes your link, it isn’t going to really affect you in any meaningful way… because you have tons of those targeted links.
I don’t want others to understand the no follow tag…. it keeps them from directly competing with us 
Hope this has helped.
The author of Blog Submitter Pro comments on the comment spam at http://www.holygrailofmarketing.com/tutorial/commentspam.htm:
This is the very reason that I built this software to post exclusively to blogger.com blogs… So that no one can ever legitimately accuse any Blog Submitter Pro user of “comment spamming” their blog.
Blogger.com is very well aware of Blog Submitter Pro! They know exactly who we are, exactly what we do, and exactly why we do it…. And They Do Not Mind One Little Bit!!!!
In fact, to demonstrate their neutrality on this subject, they have chosen the only option that any reasonable and rational human being would choose… Instead of making themselves out to be yet another internet cop, they opted to leave the blog owner with the option of whether or not they would welcome and or accept posts to their blog from automated software.
This means that every single blog that our software posts to, has by default, been given permission from the individual blog owner to do so.
I do not know who is right about the no follow tag. From what I understand, this command tells the search engine spiders not to follow the link at the blog comments. If they do not follow my link… How are the search engine spiders going to index my site?
I do agree that in a way the blog owners allow their blogs to me “spammed” if they do not turn on the “word verification” option. Most of them simply do not know what the hell that is till they get spammed. There is a message at the front page of every blogger.com account that informs the users about this feature now and I am sure they will turn this feature to default sooner or later.
Conclusion
I am certain Blog Submitter Pro will help you get more incoming links and traffic to your web site. My results may vary from yours. I personally consider this a “black hat” search engine optimization technique because of the “comment spamming”. I pray the blog owners that have received my comments do not complain about me! I only tested this software on my test site so I don’t really care if it gets black listed or not. I wouldn’t recommend using this on your important sites. If you don’t mind the “comment spamming” issues involved then get this software while the price is at $147 and if it still works when you read this review.

I have also been using the Blog Submitter Pro for about a week. I has increased traffic but to my web sites. I have also been careful not to direct them to my main or important sites as for fear of the spam issue. The bottom line for me is that it has helped me increase sales and that’s what it is all about. I too wish there was a fix for the alert button pop ups. It does stop it in it’s tracks.

I used Blog Submitter for 2 days and as I watched it post my random comments on websites in different languages, blogs where my comments however vague had nothing to do with the content….I just thought that it was a waste of time. It may get more links to your site but these are not particularly quality links if coming from a blog in Japanese about that person’s life! I also read an article on comment spamming and realised this was just what I was doing so stopped. This type of software will end up the same way things like IP submitters and pop-ups did – no use as everyone will block it. I have also written a more in depth review on my site.

said:
I agree with Rachel.
I told the author that it would make much more sense to post to sites who shared your keywords, that way at least you wouldn’t seem so out in left field.
Plus, another disadvantage is that it only works with Blogger.com accounts.

I only used the software for a few days, but in that short time I got contacted by several angry blog owners – one even tried to send me a couple of computer viruses by email(!), as thanks for spamming his blog. Not very responsible on his part either, but it definitely shows that this is a piece of software you do NOT want to be using.
I have seen comments about how this should be used for sites that are “not important”. But why spend any effort on a site that “isn’t important”. The whole strategy smells fishy from beginning to end.
What amazes me is that I have seen several heavy weight marketers promoting this software as an affiliate product…
I have also heard that the software will be updated to making comments to only on-topic blogs, but the main problem of this basically being a comment spammer still remains.

Thanks for all the information…
I have been debating on purchasing this
software but I was concerned about
the spam…
Especially with all the trouble you can
get into for it…Even some of the Billionaires
like Mark CUban are going after blog spammers hard.
I guess you can do it manually and post relavent content
then leave a link…
Anyways thanks

Interesting!
I have purchased the software, but seeing as I hate reading manuals, so far have only copied the script and used it for posting on relevant blogs, where I post relevant comments. I have been meaning to go through the whole tutorial, but have been short of time so far….I am glad I have read these warnings, as I didn’t think it through as far as ramifications go!

I was in search of a new promotion tool to use on my new site (http://www.1800-malls.net with a PR0, no backlinks and no indexed page on any search engine). I was a little hesitant on buying Blog Submitter Pro. One thing that did come into mind when reading the sales page was “SPAM”. So I searched google and found your page. It has actually help me in the decision process.
I do own other sites and have used other tools to promote them. For this site I want to use just 1 tool to see the effectiveness of the marketing tool. You could say this is an expiramental site. Any Suggestions?
By the way, Thank You Very Much for this informative review and the screen shots you made.

Wow, I enjoy reading blogs, and getting input on new products, but this one happens to be one that I am using.
I think you guys are going a little over board with the whole “sky is falling” mind set.
Look at it like this… they are showing several #1 positions in all of the search engines that count, and all with that blank page they started with.
I actually contacted the programmer about spam issues and her reply actually makes sense to me. She asked a simple question. If this was going to harm you, wouldn’t I have already been slammed by the engines?
And I agree with that. After all, they are advertising the fact of what they are doing with that site, while we, the average user never really tell a soul. So it really does look to me that this is not something that will harm you, but is proven time and again that if you use it right, it will put you on top.
As for the popups. Duh! They already tell you how to stop that, just look at the tutorials.
I am not an affiliate marketer so I am not trying to sing this software’s praises in order to get anyone to buy. All I am saying is that I personally have has astounding results and will not stop using it for any reason.
before I forget. Comment Spam. Get real! Use a little common sense in your posts and no one will ever even know that it was auto posted. I was one of the first to buy this software and I still do not have even a single complaint under my belt. So, while it is easy for us to blame something or someone else for our own short comings, lets keep things above board here. If you are lazy, then yes you will get accused of spam, but if you employ a little grey matter into your posts, then you will not.
ok, I’m getting off of my soap box here because my intent in this post was to just give another view of the software from someone who is using it, not to write its next sales letter for them!
Peace

Yea, #1 in yahoo and #8 in google, look impressive, all that with a blank page…. I was fooled for a few seconds too. Do a yahoo backlink check. 1200 backlinks from REAL SITES. They must have bought this domain with active backlinks. I don’t see any blog backlinks in the top few…
And the site is down.. Perhaps they were not liked by their web host….
It’s a good story.

I tried the software for a week, but I have serious doubts about it. My link popularity went down instead of going up.
This is clearly a ‘black hat’ marketing technique which I’d not go for. I don’t want to get good rankings by annoying people and treating their blogs as my personal marketing playground. I’d not like someone doing that to my personal blog.

Hello, T.E. Evans,
Your interpretation seems very logical to me [Look at it like this… they are showing several #1 positions in all of the search engines that count, and all with that blank page they started with].
But … have you tried to find that #1 blank page in the search engines? And did you find it?
Kind regards,
Jos

T. Evans-
Neither of the developers are girls. however, the idea came from some lady in TX. we (the developers) knew the products had greater potential for something to do with RSS (im not telling what thought :>) as far as the toll not finding relivent content, thats sounds like the users copy isnt up-to-date.
the tool does increase traffic, but i bet a lot of those is the blog owners being like “wtf”. BTW, increasing PR over night is impossble so you guys will have to wait for Google BL updates like every other page.
this tool COULD work, if someone were to write very creative creative.
Hope this helps!

Hello,
In fact you can change Submitter Pro to Blogs Autofiller, which costs $70 and it posts blogs ower the Web, not only at blogspot.com. I used Blogs AutoFiller for 5 months and my pagerank increased to 8 just for 2.5 months.
I saw Submitter PRO, but it is too expencive for me. And why to bother my self it I have such a submitter as Blogs AutoFiller? They have great support and I have no problems with that software. You can donload trial from http://nezabudka.oksima.biz – it is never ending, but is limited to 5 posts only.

Let me share my experience with Blog Submitter Pro V.Search with you. On Nov 8th I began pointing it to one of my real estate sites. At the time, my ranking of the site on major search engines was reasonable, but not great. The exact numbers were: Google: 27 links … AltaVista: 589 links … AllTheWeb: 584 links … Teoma: 30 links … Yahoo!: 595 links and MSN: 10 links.
I ran Blog Submitter Pro V.Search quite a bit between then and now. Some glitches, but overall I felt it was an elegant piece of software … or at least a clever one.
The multiple post occurrence was a serious problem, but I still felt the program was delivering. My blogger “comments” were well thought out, and they posted accurately. An example or two of a typical comment:
(1) Hi. After suffering through the tree-busting, home-wreaking destruction of Hurricane Wilma, and being away from the Internet for well over a week because Adelphia broadband blew away in the wind, it’s nice to read things like your blog. Even though I really am searching for information on Boca Raton Real Estate, which I might be able to use on my Boca Raton real estate site … thanks for the read.
Or this:
(2) Blog-skipping is the latest cybersport … sort of like skipping stones across the water … see how many blogs you can ripple through before your fingers stiffen up. It’s an amusing break from working on my Boca Raton real estate site . Your blog has slowed me down a little, because I enjoyed the read. Still … off I cyberskip to the next site 
)
I had a minimum of ten such messages whenever I turned on Blog Submitter Pro V.Search, validated by ten different sets of credentials.
The first hint of a real letdown came when three of my credentials were tagged by the Blogger folks as “SPAM BLOGS” … a DIRECT result of using Blog Submitter Pro V.Search software. And that, sadly, turns out to be the GOOD news.
After three weeks, my ranking of the site on major search engines (the result of almost 6 months of hard work) was, in my opinion, badly damaged. The exact numbers as of this writing are: Google: 27 links (as before) … AltaVista: 283 links (a drop of 306 links) … AllTheWeb: 71 links (a drop of 513 links) … Teoma: 30 links (as before) … Yahoo!: 286 links (a drop of 309 links) and MSN: 96 links (an increase of 86 links).
I attribute this damage directly to the use of Blog Submitter Pro V.Search software. I expect my rankings on Google and Teoma to slide on the next update from their search engines (which seems to happen aboiut once a month). I am sure the increase in MSN will also be seriously reversed.
To say I am disappointed in the software would be a gross understatement. I am only glad I had the foresight to use it on a single website, and not on all of my websites.
I will continue to use it on the damaged site to see if continues to hurt, rather than help. And I will report back to anyone interested. The site in question is http://www.bocasite.com. My e-mail is temple@bocasite.com. Good luck, folks. I think, with this software, we are going to need it.

You know, when I firstly saw Blogs Auto Filler, I supposed that it is some kind of black hat software. It uses search engines to get blogs to post and also it uses proxy to hide user’s IP. I downloaded trial and I started to test Blogs Auto Filler. It showed great results as for me. Even in trial I found that it post to almost all not protected blogs and www board. I found that using good keywords to search I can post my advertising to many popular blogs. And also Oksima provides good free tool – keyword generator. It is located at http://keyword-generator.oksima.biz. It generates up to 100 relevant keywords for your advertising. Also available a paid version of keyword generator which renerates more than 2000 relevant keywords. In addition I can tell that when I bought Blogs Auto Filler I got a free bonus – Fake Referrals skript. I wonder why do I need it untill I visited http://fake-referrals.oksima.biz site. This tool is being sold separately from Blogs Auto Filler and it costs just $35. I tried instructions, which I found on the site and I was very glad that I got it for free . It is very powerfull tool to make your site listed in search engines without any resiprocal linking or something like that. Just visit the site http://fake-referrals.oksima.biz and you’ll realize why do you need this tool As for me, it brought my site to high positions in ratings, along with Blogs Auto Filler. So, in pair those 2 tools are really great SEO. Do not worry if price is too low It is not problem, it is benefit [as for me as a customer] And, you know, this team has really fast support, I wonder how can they reply so fast

Ivash.

It’s definitely blog comment spam — and it would definitely enrage bloggers… I would not recommend this software at all — especially at the current $249 price.

You have to wonder how many believe in the product they sell or is it just about a quick buck.
All messages on my blog have to be approved, that way I ensure that no useless comments, that do not relate to my blog are posted on. If it is not relevant it is deleted.
i am always sceptical about to quick fixes to ranking and acquiring high ranks. I will continue to use the safe method which are those that are endorsed by the search engines. After working for months to get a No. on yhaoo google and msn, i am not about to thow it away with a quick fix.

I’m very, very impressed that this sort of work is being done; Web Design is getting stagnant with people using just styled
block-level elements to produce artwork. The incorporation of SVG into sites excites me a lot.
How long do you expect it will take for this sort of technology to be widespread?
Obviously you can only speak about WebKit realistically, but if it’s going to take ten years for IE Win to gain (full) support,
we can’t design with it.
I’m amused by the “Becoming more important” line in the first paragraph. This has been a HUGE problem for years –
ever since HTML-2.0 was introduced to be more of a layout language and less of a markup language. For an example,
you just have to look at this site. sex partners Why is all the text
crammed over on the left side of the page with a big blank space on the right side?
Why is the default font tiny and unreadable? Fortunately most browsers now let you override the latter problem.

Here’s a nickles worth of free advice, Google and the search engines will dump your website into what we call “the sandtrap” in a hurry. What you need to do is create your backlinks going to basiclly a junk website, set up a redirect on that site to go to the real website you wish to promote. The people who see your backlinks will be redirected to the site you want them to go to, your junk site will be the only site that get’s affected negatively.
