I’m sure your thinking, “oh great, another review of an Internet Marketing Product”. Well your right, I’ll cut right to the chase. Firepow is great. If you have 10 or more blogs or niche web sites, this is a tool that will help you save time, and make promotion of your sites a whole lot easier. But it’s not flawless and it does have its short comings. But of course that is what a review is about ;=)
There are a lot of ways that I could review Andrew Hansen’s new blogging software Firepow 2.0. And since it’s not flawless I thought I might focus here on at least one particular part of the application that I think is key to the success of a nice site builder or affiliate blogger. And this is, namely, the thing that everyone wants and that is the ability to drive traffic to their site.
If you’ve ever started a web site, niche site, blog, or any other type of website trying to earn some cash, you know that you just can’t live by the motto “if you build it they will come”.
Even a great web site or blog doesn’t get guaranteed visitors, and a major part of a webmasters focus has to be in spreading the word about their new web site in any way they can think of in order to constantly try to increase visitors and hopefully profits.
Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot more to Firepow 2.0. I could have talked about the blog creation and management aspects of Firepow, which I know so many webmasters, especially those who have multiple properties, will find very valuable. But for me, I’m more concerned about how the program can increase traffic to my sites and make more money.
Anyway, with that said – I thought I’d at least talk a little about some of the features of the program so you can see some amazing ways this program might be as much of a benefit to you as it has been for me.
One of the cool things I love about FirePow is the ability to easily generate backlinks to their blog once it’s up and running. This is where the many built-in promotional tools help out. When you start a new blog, you want enough search engine link juice pointed to your site to help it rank well for those long tail keywords that has very little competition.
In addition to giving you powerful on page optimization capabilities (like allowing you to set the meta data AND h1h2 tag data for every post or page), Firepow also lets you quickly generate the spider juice you need to get indexed and potentially ranking for an uncompetitive term.
For example, as soon as your site is created, you can click a button to have your RSS feed submitted to a bunch of RSS directories. You’ll get some valuable link backs, plus some great spider activity right off the bat. Not to mention the ping from your post.
And, if you choose to, you could use the BlogLove Builder, to quickly and easily implement a trackback to a popular blog post within your own blogs first post – and instantly generate more link juice, and even a few visitors right from the get go too!
When you focus on search engine traffic you know about the importance of link building in locking in long term rankings. Initial spider juice can get you a quick ranking, but for a LASTING ranking, you need an assortment of relevant quality backlinks establishing your page as an authority on that keyword.
Firepow has that more than covered, giving you the ability to obtain links from social networks, blog comments, and in content links from Firepow’s own network of high PageRank blog sites as well.
There are way more features that I can talk about here in post. I really just wanted to stress some of the key tools that I like that help me get my sites ranked and in turn gets visitors to my site. I use Firepow and I wouldn’t recommend it if I didn’t. And it’s for that reason among many that I ‘m recommending all my blog readers to check it out for themselves.

Personally I’m not to keen about several pages long websites promoting a product. It feels like you are scrolling for ever and it’s still just showing a bunch of other “people” promoting the product.
With that said it looks interesting. I’ve already got a method to create small niche sites within a minute, but I’m interested in the whole part about backlinks. Do they relay completely on trackbacks or what else are they showing you?
Hey Stefan,
Good points and I agree about the mile long sales pages.
With Firepow and it’s Blog Network, it is all trackbacks but google likes that type of organic linking. There is also a social bookmarking tool for more back links. But the greatest thing isn’t these tools necessarily, because you can get them anywhere… Its the automation and time savings that really makes it worth the investment. You save so much time because Firepow does it all for you, for all of your sites, in one place automatically.
Another great thing that I didn’t mention was the content tools. They allow you to easily add youtube videos, rss content to you blog. Again nothing new, but they are great time savers.
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks Joseph. I am not ready to give firepow a try yet but am reading a little more here and there and may jump on board at some point.
Hey Forest, Yeah I know what you mean. I had subscribed to FP1.0 and eventually cancelled because its not cheap. With FP2.0 I had to give it a try again. Overall I still think it is great. I have had some trouble with importing some blogs. I tweek my wordpress themes quite a bit to make them do exactly what I want. There has been several times where I’ve lost everything and had to restore from backup which was a pain. There was also a few bugs that we found that were fixed fairly quickly. Also I’ve found some plug-ins to not be compatible – found out the hardway.
Right now I migrate very slowly each site just to make sure I have the least downtime.
Overall even with the issues I like it alot. I can make everything from one spot and easily add content, promote to social sites, or other blogs, and bring in rss feeds, yahoo videos etc.
I totally understand – $117 or so per month is a lot to swallow.
