Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Andrew, I'm not a huge expert but I'll give you my 2c

When I analyse links in opensiteexplorer I tend to filter out the links with PA less than 20.

I've found that with links above 20 PA works for me. There's a huge amount of PA under 20 and you can tell they are usually pages with PR of 1 or 0.

Anyways hope that helped.

LOL yes man, anything that is SPAM is auto delete in my books

Yes its amazing how BMR goes down and everyones panicked. I guess the moral of the story is link building the old fashion way is always the best way.

Anyways I understand that if you have your own small network of blogs linking to each other is not beneficial and without link juice its means nothing but I had another strategy in mind by not using the blogs to link to your own sites but rather 3 way linking outside of your network using the blog as leverage.

At the end of the day its a long road ahead and can be costly to run a bunch of blogs let alone 30+.

Thanks for the 3 great links Nakul especially the one about google making liars out of good seo guys.
