Anybody used Blurty before?

Hi,

I came across this journal site in a competitor's backlinks - it's apparently one of their top links. However, it looks like the competitor stopped using the service about 2 years ago - I was wondering if it was:

• too much work
• not effective
• or, worse, bad for SEO!

http://www.blurty.com/

I was wondering if anyone had ever come across this service and used it before - I can't find anything on Moz about it and there doesn't appear to be any results that answer this question if I search Google, so I was wondering if anyone can shed some light on it.

Would you say it's worthwhile using or not? We only have very limited resources so the benefit has to outweigh the work involved (though I am fully aware that it would take a month or two to build momentum).

Thanks for your help!

if you look at the 10 most recently created articles, they are all complete spam / junk  (the titles are random letters).

its pure junk, and if google has not penalise site that use this site, they will do in the future.

stay away!

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion! I was hoping someone would say this, because 'on paper' it seems good (strong domain authority, gives followed backlinks etc etc), but my very first reaction when I first saw it was 'YUK'.

Thank you for confirming my gut feeling
