Its always nice to see member's journey and follow up them.
Oh btw i want to ask how many articles do you have when starting building the website?
but if this is a secret you don't need to answer hehe

I like to start off with at least 3 articles. One for my main keyword and the other 2 for supporting keywords. Thanks! I hope I reach my goal sooner or later too

Hello,

Things to do for Tuesday, September 10, 2019:

• Find an expired domain - Manual
• Find relevant buyer keywords (we're going straight for the kill) - Manual
• Start building the website - Manual
• Get content writer to start writing - Outsourced
• Get all the standard socials set up - Outsourced
• Get a logo and banner designed - Outsourced

I found the first keyword to tackle. It's a long tailed keyword but has high buyer intent behind it. Running it through CORA right now to get the supporting keywords for it.
Once that's done, I'll be assigning it to my content writer. She is already researching the keyword and planning a content piece around it. She should be able to get the outline done soon and get started writing when I give her the support keywords. This piece should will finished by the end of the day or tomorrow morning.
This means I'll have to get started on the website and outsource the graphics soon.

Where did you find your content writer?

You can use multi-quote which saves you sending tons of messages at a time.

Where did you find your content writer?

I usually look for content writers on upwork or facebook groups. I have a few relationships with some writers and they're usually my go to.

I think the best thing you can do is to start by learning how to properly optimizing your website and then going out and manually placing links in relevant websites for instant traffic + seo benefits down the road (this is easy when you have good content that's actually helpful and not some trash article that provides no value to the reader).

Mandatory Places To Play Your Keyword
Tier 1 - Most bang for your buck

• Meta Title/Page Title
• H1
• Body Content
• URL (If optimizing old article and it has rankings, don't change this)

Tier 2 - Beneficial

• H2
• H3
• H4

Tier 3 - Extra and only done if needed

• Bold
• Italic
• Image alts

Here's a very simple way to start siloing your website
1 Keyword = 1 Page
Don't try to rank multiple keywords on a single page.
Eg. Trying to rank your homepage for different industry terms

You can rank a cluster of highly related keywords on that page though. What do I mean by this?

1 Primary Keyword - Usually a buyer intent keyword, something that'll move my bottomline or capture a valuable action.

Secondary Keywords - Highly related keywords that you should optimize for in on your page. Easiest way to find these is to google search your primary keyword and look at what keywords appear for in the "Related Searches" at the bottom of the page. Make sure these make sense to add onto the page.

Supporting Keywords - These are keywords that'll help EXPAND on your primary keyword. Think of question type searches.
Eg. "What's the different between incline bench press and flat bench press"

These don't have to be on the same page, these can be their own page / article / content piece. Interlink these to your primary keyword page / content.

Doing this will get you at least 2 articles (1 article for primary + secondary keywords, 1 article with supporting keywords). You'll be building relevancy by interlinking these together.

Update

There's some movement going on with the keywords now. It looks like the on-page changes are kicking in. The main keyword disappeared off the Top 100. I'm expecting it to appear back in a few days once Google re-evaluates them. One keyword broke into the Top 5 though.

I've started to build out the first batch of PBNs. I've purchased the 10 domains and installed WordPress on them. Each one will have a specific theme for it, but the structure will be the same.

There's going to be a lot of internal linking between posts on each domain. They'll all link out to the target page a combination of anchors like:

• Exact match
• Phrase match
• Branded
• URL

Excited to see how the keywords react to this batch of PBN links and on-page changes.

Good Luck On your journey OP. Can you refer me to some guides to learn Onpage like you? Seems you made some great changes with optimizing the content. Also, what are your thoughts on 301 redirect on the money site? Which one is better PBN or 301?

Thanks sonalibhatt.

My on-page comes from a lot of tibits that I got in person from people who I worked with on past projects together. I took those tibits and implemented them and kept what worked for me.

I don't normally 301. I only use 301's when they're suited for the situation.
Eg. A page was removed and now is returning a 404, I'd 301 that to a similar page. Especially if the old page had backlinks going to it.

PBN's are my go to because of how flexible they are.

 

[clockhouse]

Update

The first cluster of keywords is complete and I'll be starting to optimize the second page that I want to rank for.

It's a single term that will help people who are further along down the funnel find what they're looking for. The page has an internal anchor pointing to the product page that'll help that page out. As well as drive any traffic that lands on that page to it too.

A lot of the pages have videos and images that go with them. These videos and images are actually ranking very high (Position 1 - 5) for these SERPs. They're funneling in the traffic already but I'd like to completely dominate these SERPs and get as many potential customers as possible.

good luck OP! I'm following .

Thanks for following TeslaFan.

Update

I've finished with the on-page optimization and it took longer than I expected. Had a lot of trouble fitting in some LSI and variation keywords onto the page, but was able to at the end of it.

Going to be optimizing another page come Monday. And also running these last two pages through CORA and get in some last adjustments.

After that, we'll have to wait for the PBN's to index and see how well they do with the keywords. I'm expecting a nice increase in rankings. If not, I may have to get some guest posts. I don't expect to have to do that though. At least not for these keywords.

the best of the best !! good luck!

Thanks sony108!

Update

Quick update on the keywords that I optimized. Some movements back on the first batch, but the content piece I optimized yesterday reacted faster than I expected.

Set #1

Set #2

Still waiting for the keyword to pop back in from Set #1. The PBN is built and just waiting for the websites to index now. After that, there should be some bigger movements and then I'll wait for it to settle.

 

[clockhouse]

Update

Alright, the second set of keywords is doing great. Another movement today when the SERP tracker updated. I hope it'll break into the Top 10 or at least into the Top 15 before I need to give it any links.

Nothing to update about on Set #1 keywords. PBNs are getting indexed now, waiting for the inner pages to index.

Wow.. What a nice journey.

Can you share a bit of tip on how you find expired domains? More also, what is the metric of the expired domain you are using for your money site?

 

[azbotboyz]

What's your site's architect? Silo or Topic cluster?

Wow.. What a nice journey.

Thanks moneyflower! I have a pretty simple and easy system for PBNs that's different than mosts here.

Here's what I don't look at:

• TF/CF
• DA/PA
• DR/UR

I only look at:

• RD
• The backlinks going to the PBN
• Web archive for past usage / history

All this is done with AHREFs too.

What's your site's architect? Silo or Topic cluster?

I do a lot of silos for my websites, specifically virtual silos with a lot of interlinking.

Update

Before I get into the update here are the SERPs for both sets:

Set #1

Set #2

As you can see, set #1 still hasn't had much movement yet. I'll have to do some more optimization if nothing is moving by next week. The PBN's should be showing their effect soon.

Set #2 is doing great! The on-page optimization have really been doing good for it. In the last 2 days it went from 47 -> 16. No backlinks built to this page yet!

I'll be working on client work throughout the week. That'll allow the changes plenty of time to take affect with out anything new disrupting it. I spent today doing on-page optimization for clients websites and scraping expired domains for their new PBN.

 

[papzey]

Great journey. Just that many of this may seem too complex for newbies. Good luck and I'll be following.

 

[Satal]

Loving this journey.

How's it going? I'm guessing you haven't been able to hit your first month's target, that being said I think your month one target was very sporting

 

[br3ach]

Nice detail being shared here. Thanks. How/where do you buy your expired domains from, after evaluating them using the method you mentioned above?
