Hey Jon. Always a big fan. Completely off-topic, and maybe it’s just my computer, but your social toolbar that appears while reading the post, happens to be just left of center of the middle of the page – kind of a pain as it covers text as you scroll down. Can send you a screen shot if needed! Thanks!

I would love a “pending payment” option when adding a new link, as currently it assumes you’re paying for the purchase immediately – which doesn’t work out too well for agencies. Plus, an option to upload articles to keep track of our guest post articles would be so welcome.

Thanks for the post Jon. We just started using Buzzstream last week and so far I’ve been loving it.

Jon

Our website has been a thorn in our side for years. Too busy to keep it updated and ahead of SEO and effective blogging. We are doing some research on correcting that at the moment and your website is a great resource!

Thanks

Buzzstream is good but gets expensive if you are a freelancer with a 30k+ DB, currently looking for a cheaper alternative.

buzzstream dose have cool features but for what you are describing mail merge does the trick including that there is no problem using primary domain you mentioned

Thanks David! And that’s how I’ve been feeling lately as well. Let me know if you try it out and what you think of it.

Agreed, the response rate bit is a nice touch, and it integrates perfectly into the system. Thanks for stopping by Pete!!

John,

Another great post!

I’ve never actually used Buzzstream, so I’ll give it a whirl. Excel spreadsheets can only last so long before they become both confusing and counter-productive..

$29 seems a bargain too, it’s always good to get an honest opinion!

Thanks,

David

Jon,

Joost raises a question for me either of you might comment on.

I am looking for a solution to this as well and was considering Raven, but like Buzzstream’s CRM functionality.

Does Buzzstream also have decent link prospecting tracking tools like Raven?

I would imagine you use it in conjunction with Raven and not in place of…

Thanks, great stuff as usual.

I’ve heard some buzz about buzzstream, but now I know what it’s actually all about! Looks to be a really nice tool. I’m especially impressed with the built in response rate % so that you can a/b or multivariate test different outreach templates.

I’m not yet at the scale where I need an outreach CRM system; but hopefully it won’t be long!
