Firepow blogging software review

If you’ve heard about this new blogging software called Firepow around the web, you’re not alone. Basically Firepow is a blogging software but with a whole lot of features stacked on top of it… features that seem to make it a pretty darn interesting little (or big) tool.

Firstly let it be clearly known that no product, software, ebook or membership, is going to make you money – YOU have to do the work YOURSELF – sales letters love to give the impression that a product will do something FOR you but unless you’re willing to MAKE IT happen yourself – nothing will help you.

I expect Firepow to fit this category. Particularly because it’s a software that automates certain tasks, I expect it convey the feeling of doing things for you. So don’t fall for it – whatever it says, remember that YOU will have work to do and if you’re not ready to do that then this product won’t help you.

Phew, now that that’s out of my system, we can continue.

What does seem good about Firepow so far is that it combines the functions of various pieces of software into one ‘machine’ so to speak – which if only for the sake of nothing else but convenience, makes it a good thing. Less programs on my computer, less to think about, and hopefully less to do.

The things it combines are the tasks of (as the sales letter indicates) creating, marketing and managing your niche blog sites.

It does these things with the use of wordpress plugins, and features inside a central software, from where you can view or edit any of your blog sites – another big convenience factor.

The plugins are both a list compiled from existing plugins on the internet and those created specially by Andrew himself.

It’s these fresh meat plugins that seem to be the big selling point as promises have been made of effects like stealing viral traffic, multiplying your content automatically, and giving the site owner the capacity to get in touch with other site owners for extra leverage.

It’s based on wordpress, and begins by installing you a nice wp blog – in fact from what I can tell, REALLY nice – you can create your own blog theme from scratch if you want, with the advanced theme generator and then select from a list of all the plugins under the sun, to have installed and activated on your blog with no further action from you.

Then you can go about adding your content – you can set the content to appear on schedules, including into the future, plus you can take advantage of other people’s content via various means not disclosed yet…

It also seems to have a focus on video content but I’m not quite sure in what capacity yet – in any case, more relevant video on your site can only be a good thing – oh and as well – they just released that there will be an “add camtasia video plugin” so you can easily get camtasia vids on your blog without using youtube… which if you’re in internet/software niches is a BIG plus.

Anyway after your blog is looking good with all the cool content, Firepow helps you generate traffic and promote your site around the web. At the moment the only traffic tactic I’ve seen is the promotion of your site through an in house network of blogs owned by Andrew which you can use to obtain links and a few extra visitors.

I’ve also heard mention of social bookmarking and rss feed promotion but we can’t be sure about what capacity these tools take.

Finally Firepow apparently lets you manage your sites too. You can view and make changes to your multiple sites from the one control panel, as well as monitor certain aspects of them.

One plugin we saw released was one that allows a user to split test variations of posts you make to see what generates the most click throughs. That alone makes this product exciting for me.

Even though what we’ve seen so far seems only a fraction of what this software will be capable of.

If you want to check out more of Firepow for yourself, click here.

The first thing I like, or perhaps category of thing I like, is the ability the user has to easily generate backlinks to their blog once it’s up and running.

When you start a new blog, you want enough search engine spider juice to your site  to have it able to rank well for long tail uncompetitive keywords, purely by on page optimization, within a few days of being created.

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 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.

Furthermore, if you choose to, you could use a tool called 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!

Furthermore, if you focus on search engine traffic you’ll 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.

I stress that even what I’ve mentioned here isn’t close to all of the tools Firepow gives you to drive traffic to your site. And it’s for that reason among many that ‘m recommending all my blog readers to check it out for themselves.
