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

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:
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:
The no follow tag simply prevents the person who is posting to a blog from immediately benefiting from the blogs google pagerank.
If you post on a blog that has pagerank7 and you have pagerank0, that post will almost immediately move you to a pr5(example)…. sounds great right? Well, there is a down-side.
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.
