Over the past few years, much has been written about the potential benefits that can be gained from your blog and blog networks when promoting your own or anothers product.

You have your own domains but think you don’t need a freehost ? Wrong! First, diversifying is never wrong, so linking and networking your own sites with freehosts has several advantages:

1. Freehosts are often considered authority sites since they have a huge ammount of hosted blogs and loads of indexed pages (and/or subdomains), which makes these links valuable for your own domains.

2. Because of 1., getting a good search engine listing for an optimized niche blog is by far easier when using a free bloghost instead of your own domain. You profit from SEO others have done for you already, for free !

3. No need to setup any Content Management Sites like WordPress, it’s already pre-installed and you are ready to go. This makes it easier to run multiple blogs for beginners, no need to update your installation, it’s all done by them.

4. Of course, no hosting fees and often by far better performance than your own hosting in case you use a cheap virtual package.

5. They use IPs totally different from yours. Many webmasters tend to interlink their own sites too much, even worse if they are all on the same IP or in the same IP range…spiders will recognize this and penalize you once they find your network.

Yes, a freehost could be gone and your work could be lost, but that’s why I said diversify, never use one of them only, never put all your sites on freehosts, use them as a powerful addition to your own domains.
