Content Buzz – what does ContentBuzz do?

I’ve heard repeated rumblings about ContentBuzz and decided to do a Content Buzz review by having a buddy of mine use it and test it out.

What does Content Buzz do?

This is for people who want to utilize podcasts, videos web 2.0 profiles, and social bookmarking.  It’s a service/desktop application that semi-automates your account creations at podcast, video sharing web 2.0 and social bookmarking sites.  I say it’s semi-automated because you have to type in your captchas still, no big deal there but slows down the “getting started” process a bit.

ContentBuzz is almost a rival of Traffic Geyser and SE Nuke because of its automated account creations and submissions processes, but when you go hybrid with something you usually only do a portion of what the other services do whilst doing more overall.

CB versus Traffic Geyser

Traffic Geyser sends your videos to 50 or so video sharing sites, and does podcasts, too

Content Buzz does the same thing, but you’re not uploading your video to CB’s site, you’re submitting your videos and podcasts from the desktop application.

CB versus SE Nuke:

SE Nuke - does content creation + submission, account creations with auto captcha solving.  SE Nuke also has ability to pull in articles from the web via url you provide and spins them with a click of a button.

Content Buzz – does semi automated account creations and content submissions.  Content Buzz doesn’t have any one-click spinning capabilties.

Cost comparisons:

  1. Traffic Geyser costs 97/month
  2. SE Nuke costs 147/month
  3. Content buzz costs 29/month

My opinion on Content Buzz?

Now that all the vanilla fluff details about CB are out of the way, what’s Content Buzz good for and who needs it and who should use it?

If you do any video marketing or podcasting then this is a worthwhile service to get.

The social bookmarking aspect is great for what it’s worth but social bookmarking links will only do so much for you, really.  SB links are mostly NoFollow nowadays but they can be effective if you’re getting enough of them, so really, social bookmarking for effective link building is largely dependent on getting a lot of links, which means creating  a lot of profiles.

How we’re testing Content Buzz for this review:

We’ve built some Google Sniper sites as part of my comprehensive Google Sniper Review series so we’ll be using Content Buzz to generate traffic and backlinks to 7 or 8 of those sites.  The 7-8 sites are for easy, medium, and high competition keywords, and niches.

UPDATE!!!

I always send program owners an email letting them know I am reviewing their service, in case there are some extra elements or features to their services that weren’t obvious, and to make sure my reviews are accurate.  As mentioned earlier in this review I am working with someone to review and use this Content Buzz service.

Anyways I sent the email to the Content Buzz folks telling them I’m reviewing their service and here’s Shaun’s reply:

Hi Daniel

Thanks for your email. It was very interesting to read your review of Content Buzz. I appreciate your comments but I don’t think you quite revealed everything that Content Buzz can do.

It is difficult to compare Content Buzz with Traffic Geyser as, quoting from their sales page, they “Submit your messages to 50 video sites and social bookmarking sites…”. That is not 50 ‘video’ sites, that’s the total of both. It also includes several ‘how-to’ sites that don’t particularly like marketing messages and will delete them.

SENuke seems to revolve around spinning articles. We take the view that unless you are promoting quality content then it isn’t worth the time and effort involved. Does a spun article actually create a good impression with a prospective customer?

Content Buzz enables account creation and submission to 140 Social Media platforms. This includes 50 general video sites that are marketer friendly. We have a separate mode for info marketers that submits to even more specific ‘how-to’ sites. Add to this 40 social bookmarking sites, image hosting sites, feeder blog sites, podcast directories, micro-blogging services, ping services and RSS aggregators. Not to mention other software that includes an easy way to find relevant blogs and forums etc where you can drop your backlinks, and a unique link builder that you can get an outsourcer to get you another 500 or so links from other social platforms. We feel that Content Buzz enables an imaginative marketer to create really comprehensive, and unique marketing campaigns.

We also try to provide marketers with ‘affordable’ solutions, and feel that at under $30 p.m. Content Buzz is good value for money considering the overhead in supporting and constantly testing so many platforms.

We do have several new and exciting products coming out in the near future that you and your readers are sure to be interested in. If you don’t mind I will send you a link for you to give them a test drive prior to release as I would appreciate any comments you may have.

Cheers for now

Shaun

  2. I have to agree with the Content Buzz owner, that for the imaginative marketer you can do a lot of “awesome” stuff with Content Buzz, even though there is somewhat more setup and a few teething problems to get through with account setup early on.

    Once you’re up and running, Content Buzz is I think the best value for money out of all of them.

    If you want to spin articles, I would recommend using a “Dedicated” article marketing platform, the best in my opinion being “Submit Your Article”, when you mix video marketing and article marketing together with amazing information you have a “Very” powerful marketing strategy.

    If you go a step further and use Site Build It and post your videos on the pages you create with it, around keyword focussed articles offering value and “PRE-Selling” your visitors, you have an unbeatable solution.

    I feel that the best 3 tools you can use are:
    1. Content Buzz
    2. Submit Your Article
    3. SiteBuildIt

    Just the above three on their own will see you on the track for great long term traffic and eventual success online.

    Hope this helps.

    Warm Regards,
    Adam

  4. I am in the process of extensive testing with Content Buzz and will publish my results and experiences on my blog soon… I agree with Adam’s comment above but would suggest a self hosted Wordpress blog as an alternative to SiteBuildit. I used SBI a long time ago and much prefer the wordpress dashboard and structuring capabilities.

    I have had many communications with Shaun, owner of Content Buzz and he has been extremely helpful and has given me attention uncommon in today’s market place.

    Thanks for the review

  6. Thanks roger, Shaun’s very helpful and what he said about Traffic Geyser as compared to Content Buzz astounded me.

    CB is good if you do a lot of video marketing, but as you may have noticed, videos don’t rank as well as they used to (caffeine alog)

  8. Great Review and I’m surprised I’ve never heard of CB. The price point is awesome.

    I suspect that even if google doesn’t rank video’s as high in the SERP’s, that the traffic you get directly from the video sites (especially the big ones) is still worth the time to regularly post video content as a traffic generation tool. I see it as simply another source of traffic that isn’t dependent on Google. I like the idea of having multiple traffic sources and not put all my eggs in one basket….. never know how the next algorithm tweak will affect your organic SERP’s.

    Again, thanks for the article…..

  10. Hi Ken, I am in complete agreement with you. The less dependent on algos and SERPs we are the more stable the traffic flow, and business. It’s kind of a catch-22 though because the more things you do to become less dependent on SERPs, those only strengthen your site’s rankings…

  12. Thanks to you Daniel, and everyone else for the info…I’m somewhat of a technophobe so always feel a little lost on these things. Very easy to understand and appreciate the breakdown of several different products at once…
