Hi all,
I've seen a few of these and I think it's a good way of motivating yourself as well as others. What I have created is a news aggregator website which was first a hobby but now I want to make money from it (it's currently losing me money) via AdSense.
According to Ahref, the domain rating is currently 47, it has 320,000 backlinks from 161 domains. However organic traffic is only 296. So far I've tried targeting massive keywords which I was never going to rank for, so now I've decided to go after smaller ones which will hopefully add up.
How these aggregator works are, if a blog wants to be featured they have to have a backlink to us in their sidebar, that explains the high number of backlinks and few domains, as the backlink is in the sidebar of every post.
My strategy to go after these smaller backlinks is to write guest blogs on another website, they include two links to high reputable sites like the BBC and one to my targeted subpage and contain around 300 words of original content. The anchor for my target link is my website.
To give you an example this is my highest ranked subpage compared to the number one for the main keyword using MOZ.
Average monthly searches (from AdSense): 100k-1M
#1 PA: 66, DA 69
Mine: PA 38, DA 31
This is a lower ranked subpage compared to the number one for the main keyword
Average monthly searches (from AdSense): 1-10k
#1 PA: 28, DA 69
Mine: PA 1, DA 31
So you can see why I've decided to target easier keywords. So far I've written one article on another website this had a majestic trust flow of 1 and a citation flow of 6. Hopefully, I'll be able to get guest blogs on better websites soon.
Any help is always appreciated, will update you soon
