Network Blazer Review
Overview: £20 per month to build and host easy to make affiliate websites.
I first joined Network Blazer with a free trial which came with an ebook which has now been replaced by Info Product Killer. Network Blazer is run by a man with a split personality. His evil side is an lazy, arrogant, 17 year old, international sex machine and affiliate millionaire with a fondness of the word “numpty”. In some of his videos he talks about Affi as if he is a different person and at one point even received a text message from him. Thankfully his alter ego seems to have disappeared although I’m not entirely sure that his technical support isn’t another side to his complex personality.
Network Blazer itself is a content management system designed to make building an affiliate website easy. It does this well, this most complex code you’ll need to understand is [LINK=http://www.example.com/]Buy Toys heres![/LINK]
Network Blazer provides an easy interface for uploading pictures, text and most importantly price comparison charts which are updated automatically.
One of the best features is that you don’t need to pay for a host or deal with FTPing everything for the site since all sites are hosted on Network Blazers servers. There is no limit on the number of sites you can host on their which is a great deal in itself. It has a members’ only forum with lots of nice people and no egos.
The downside is that you have no control over the code. If you want to do anything which isn’t built into the system, there’s no way to do it. For example, Google analytics is built into the system, but Webmaster tools isn’t. You can’t edit CSS (well you can change the background and text colours) which makes all Network Blazer sites look very similar. This can make them an easy target for a manual penalty and you might need to deal with a Google reconsideration request. Many updates to the backend are talked about but rarely delivered with a few acceptations such as servers based in the US to help with localisation.
Network Blazer Conclusion
If you have could fully edit your sites, I would recommend Network Blazer to just about anyone who wants to get into affiliate marketing. But you can’t so I’m going to say it’s a great all in one affiliate website package for people who don’t have much experience building websites.
Thank you Adam for your review of Network Blazer. I will take it into consideration before I decide whether or not to sign up. I do have several WordPress sites and was told Network Blazer works well for affiliate sites.

i’ve just bought IPK and found out Network Blazer is the upsell. You did a very informative review of it. I too am a bit concerned that all the sites created would be too much the same making them vulnerable. I’ll check out some other reviews then make my decision.
Thanks for the review I bought IPK and was just checking some reviews. Still don’t know if I will go with network Blazer. I’m still a little new at setting up blogs and websites, but since I bought the IPK template, I should be able to set up the basic site, but I’m not for sure about creating the so called mother site that IPK teaches you.
Thanks again
Thank you for what is evidently one of the few honest reviews on the web. Keep it up.
I agree with Al……with so much dishonesty on the web….it’s a breath of “Fresh” air to get an honest review, when so much stinks to high heaven.
Thank you Adam
Glad to see the reviews are being helpful. Anyone tried IPK recently and want to let me know what they thought of it?
Hi -
Bought IPK and then Network Blazer. Was able to get 4 sites up quickly on Network Blazer using techniques taught by IPK but….2 are hosted on the server in CA and 2 are hosted on the server in St. Louis MO. The 2 that are hosted on the server in CA seem to be going down quite a bit and I can’t get anyone to help me with it so far.
Thanks for this review pointing out some of the good and the bad!
Since I can handle Word Press fine and XSitePro to a reasonable extent, you have saved me from spending too much time considering whether or not I should take this upgrade to IPK, which I just purchased. Now to see if IPK lives up to it’s billing…
Good review, I was looking everywhere for more information on Network Blazer and couldn’t find anything.
Who is behind Network Blazer? There doesn’t seem to be any on information anywhere as to who runs this site.
The Warrior Forum has a lot of unhappy purchasers claiming that they can’t get into their sites and when they can, the servers go down pretty quickly. Not a bunch of happy people.
Its my inherent dislike of shady sites that made me cancel after the free trial. If you can’t be upfront with who you are, thank you, I’ll take my business elsewhere.
Much, Much appreciated. I was really struggling with why I should sign up. I am a programmer and while not the best designer, I can put a website together, and I already have 2 hosting accounts, but I was under the influence of Craig Kaye who highly recommends this service in his Commission Black Ops product. Craig explains extensively about how to create a great site, but insists that Network Blazer is the key. I can make up my mind confidently now after this review I will be okay using his well written instructions for building an effective site. I mean … I need to make money; I am already spending too much on a monthly basis without profiting. Thanks you very much again for the sobering discussion.
I am really only interested in the comparison tool you put on these sites, anyone know how to create on yourself or get it individually?
I use http://www.easycontentunits.com/ There’s a lot of customisation options with it but if you’re very fussy about how things look (like I am) it take a bit of hacking to get just right. Other than that, it’s great.
