Yup, I did it folks.
After 5 months of battling, struggling with banks, google, paypal (early stages). My site just struck gold.

Just hit the #10 spot... the site was #22 last week for this keyword (250,000 exact/mth, buy centric keyword in a huge hyper competitive niche)

What pushed me over the edge? This week I did all high PR blogposts + backlinked the hell out of them with web 2.0 pyramids and tons of high end bookmarks (2k high PR blogposts, around 7k web 2.0s linking to the blogposts + tiers of xrumer blasts and SB linking to tier 2 and 3)

Bookmarks were all automated to the web 2.0s and the blogposts... Only about 15 bookmarking sites are worth it, I only post on d0follow ones that google actually indexes (reddit, etc... there's only 15)

previously to get to #22 I had launched around 8 campaigns and pushed out about 25k web 2.0s to the site over the course of 2 months (with millions of Xrumer profiles etc).

Well, I would toast to myself, but I actually have a whole lot of crap to do as we are on the verge of being cut off from $8k in a limited paypal acct

Hope the ranking stays or gets better, though I am on the verge of a complete breakdown due to the stress levels of accepting this much money safely.

It just got PR6 in the last update also, so I knew it was going to keep rising with some effort!

Congrats and good luck. Now push for that #1 spot.

That's probably only getting you a few hundred visitors a day though?

Thanks mate
#1 is likely impossible, I would be a very happy camper if we made it to the top 5
This is my retirement site... I hope
I'm so stressed out and exhausted from this week though, I don't even want to get into it!

Congrats........ I'm also thinking of scaling up my empire with a highly profitable keyword.

Try 5000 from that keyword alone, we have a CTR of ~6% (excellent title) on that word.
But that site also owns several 90k exact keywords also (it was already doing mid 4 figs/day). It's in the top 5 on those keywords and has 3-4 #1s on other buy centric 10-15k/mth words.
I wish I could be more excited, but this whole stealth paypal $8k in an acct thing is giving me ulcers.
Hopefully soon when the dust settles I can be more a part of the community on here again!

congrats some tips for newbie

Congrats bro, keep up the good work.

250,000/30= 8,333 searches per day. #1 probably gets about 40% = 3,333
#10 probably gets around 3-5% (oh just seen your 6%). But that's 500, not 5000?

Check out some of my recent posts, I have tried lately to add some stuff to BHW.
Again, I've been busy
It's 3:30am here and I woke up at 8am to phone calls and crises.

True, I haven't looked at the raw data yet.
We're getting over 30,000 impressions/day and ~5000 clicks in just webmaster tools as of 2 days ago... it'll be even more today.
You're right though dammit... must sleep

Anyway I'm going completely nuts, as our offshore processing is still not set up and integrated (probably won't be tomorrow either ugh!), we're funneling money through a VISA only acct + lots of 3rd party processing/aggregated solutions.

OK...so much for impressions how much $$$ you making from it?

How did you come with $6MM for this keyword?

Congrats though. As much as you've confused me over the last month, I still follow your posts!

I don't know yet, tomorrow is going to be insane.
We did almost 5 figures just today in revenue (80% margin)

The $6MM/yr is based upon rudimentary data of customers and facebook likes to conversions ratio in this niche. (top site has a minimum of $10MM in revenue annually... and this is a low guesstimate)

How are u monetizing? ppc?

dude, it's a tangible product of course.

Congrats bro...inspiring...looking to find out more thread by you on BHW...hope I get some excellent advice.

For me your site is on page 2, #19
still, good success

Well done, hope you earn nicely from it.

Any high pr blog networks you can recommend?

Congrats to you! How do you manage 2k of high pr blogposts? I'm guessing these aren't paid as that would cost a fortune.

is it a product you have in stock yourself or is it a digital product?

Well done buddy. With results like that I hope you get everything sorted and find a bit more time to share on here ;-)

thank you soooooooooooooo much

That's absolutely great to read such a story! Especially I like the expression "My Retirement Site" . Hopefully it will be, and hopefully many of us will reach the same stage once. Good Luck and do not stress out - it's bad for your health

32k 2.0 posts? Sweet mother of jeebus. Are you selling a physical product, service, or what? Dropshipping? Congrats, if you need somebody to help you spend all that money just let me know

GREAT JOB!!! Sit back and collect the cash!

Pr 6 site, that explains why it can take the abuse you gave it...LOL...

Are the high PR blogs yours or do you use paid private blog networks?

Thanks

congrats
that is a really good work, now you just have to work a little more to your retirement site, how much do you invest in this website?

Good job Expertpeon! Way to go!

nice inspirational post... good luck with all the stress

Hey E...

You can't spend it from the grave buddy... Look after yourself, and get some sleep, or you'll make stupid mistakes.

You d' man!

.

If you are in the US, Wepay.com has a virtual terminal that they don't advertise, but can activate for you quickly so you can accept credit cards. You should give them a call and ask for a virtual terminal. I can't say enough good things about We Pay.

Congrats man that's amazing!

SO Excited, Now show some real excitement by revealing your exact niche

Nice Expert, congrats to you , I know you've earned it. Take care of your health though man, it's all you've really got in life! Hopefully things chill out for you and you can enjoy the fruits of your labor, which according to your somewhat cryptic posts has been intense.

That is really phenomenal. It would be interesting to know your ROI in regards to SEO.

Please do keep us posted.

This is the exact reason why I slave 10 hours a day at my white hate SEO job and come home and work another 4-5 hours on my BH and affiliate marketing stuff. Simply because I can work my entire life and become an all start SEO and never make that much. Thank for you the inspiration.

I told you these high PR blogposts work. Shall I send you my paypal adress?

You said building tiers to them was stupid and waste of time.

Not sure what site you think it is, but it's definitely now ranked #6 I'm active (and making good money) in 9 niches right now.
Sadly, we were still working on getting new merchant processing set up (approved on this site again by our bank)... this is pretty hellish the choice we have to make.

congrats EP, i always thought you were bullshitting way too much on the forum until I really saw your site and boy, I was wrong. Congrats mate and dont leave too many footprints
