Hello, and welcome to my new journey. My plans of this journey is taking a new fresh domain to become an authority site making 50k dollars/month as fast as possible.
Some of you know me from my previous successful journey here:
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/journey-two-amazon-affiliate-sites-to-100-day-ongoing.1057263/
To not mix these sites up too much, I decided to create a separate journey to follow the progress of it easier.
Because I learned a lot from my first journey, I got the confidence in investing a lot of money into this journey, I´m pretty confident that this will be a successful site. I will do the same as before, but in a much bigger scale.
Im also doing this full-time now, traveling around and can therefore put much more effort into the site.
Site information:
Age: Fresh Domain 2 months old. Branded name
Will rely on Advertising income much more than Affiliate income.
Pretty difficult/saturnated niche
6 Categories - Internal linked in "Silo"
300x ~1000 word Information Articles published so far
GeneratePress theme
Hosting: Siteground Cloud US
Link building:
Usually when Im building websites, I dont rely so much on linkbuilding. Im creating a lot of content and will most likely earn organic backlinks after a while. However, I have hired a VA to build 10-20 guest posts per month to speed things up a little bit and I understand the importance of backlinks.
Im not doing any type of social media at all except I created profiles and put some images up on pinterest for some traffic in the beginning. This will 100% rely on organic traffic.
Links built so far:
Results so far:
The results are like nothing now. I was pretty slow publishing articles in the beginning but now i publish them at a rate of around 50 per week or more. I think this will grow fast as soon as its out of the sandbox.
Pagespeed:
For the pagespeed I rely on the WProcket plugin and optimizing images with Shortpixel. Im not using any CDN. This is on a page with 3 big images.
Keyword Research:
For keyword research I am using Ahrefs to check other websites successful articles, with a lot of traffic without a huge amount of backlinks. Im targeting both easy and more difficult keywords and doesnt think too much about it.
Since my other journey, I got a lot of questions about which writers I use. Because Im not native english, Im outsourcing all writing and I use a few different writers from BHW. For this journey, ~80% of my articles is coming from @contentdarknight
Plans for 2020:
