They say "Just do it". I did, and failed.

Add a "privacy page", "disclaimer page", "terms of use" page and "contact us" page. You can get them for free online, just put in your own details. These pages will look good in the eyes of google, boosting your ranks.

No wonder you're not making anything, you half-assed the whole thing. Then on top of that, you thought that after 2 weeks you should be seeing some money....

Let's recap:

So what did I do? I did what I thought everyone else was doing.

I bought scrapebox.
I bought domain name.
I installed wordpress.
I spamed links with Scrapebox.
I created a crapy link wheel
Including HubPage, Squidoo, Weebly, Knol
I don't think these 4 articles really effected anything :/

You spammed links with Scrapebox which is mistake #1. Scrapebox is a powerful tool but only if used right. You can't just blast thousands of links out and expect it to work magically.

Mistake #2 is that you created what you call a "crappy" linkwheel. Do you really expect to see quality results when you're using "crappy" techniques?

Its been 2 weeks now and I only get 1-2 visitor a day. Which obviously makes me $0.

2 weeks is nothing. It takes longer than that to see results, sorry.

ALL of the posts are stolen from other sites.

So you steal other people's posts because you're lazy and can't write your own, and then you think Google is going to index you and rank you higher in the search engines than the people you stole posts from?

I'm just gonna take a stab in the dark here and guess that you didn't even link back to the sites that you stole content from either...

Does anyone have any tips on how to do any better?

Yeah, get serious about making money online and stop thinking you can half-ass everything and be successful.

Did you experiment with sitemaps, and regular white hat SEO. Spamming links can only get you so far.

If all else fails make it into an autoblog, keep it for a few months and then sell it.

The Good News Your keyword gets a good amount of searches daily.

The bad news there 3 million plus websites mentioning that term.
Your On page SEO is awful
Target your keyword at least 3% keyword density
Use an Image with Alt tags
Use tags H1 H2 H3 at least once in your post
Bold Underline and Italicise your keyword
Link to a internal page on your site with your main keyword
Link to Wikipedea with your main keyword
Make sure all links out are NOFOLLOW
Write your own content
Use adsense
Find a click bank product on sleep
Build back links from various sources don't just fire up scrapebox and spam everywhere.
Wait at least 2 months.
Do all that and you will make money.

Are u kidding me?! Even world champions failed "several" times b4 a breakthru man....

Ever heard the names: Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Wright brothers etc These pioneers failed alot of times b4 hitting the jackpot! And they did it because they "loved it" not because people "asked them to."

My first ever sale online ($100 or so profit) was my ONLY sale for a whole year with my 1st year in IM, but i now bank in a decent amount consistently (almost 3years down the line)

A lil bit of advice: DON'T DO IT just becos pple say "do it." JUST DO IT simply bcos you LOVE IT!

After my name, the next set of things or attributes my family and friends would associate with me will fall between: a computer, the internet, food, books, TV, Laziness and a bloody video game!

(I'm a guy and not a girl, don't let the rabbitgirl name deceive u...dat's my IM illusion)

If I was Google I would completely ignore links from Squidoo, Weebly, whatever.
Only webmasters use these sites to publish their blatant sp4m anyway

Now back to your situation:
1. You have limited knowledge.
2. You have no experience.
3. You have no patience.
4. Your domain is brand new.
5. You don't have enough content.
6. You don't have enough backlinks.
7. You're targeting the wrong keywords.
8. You're not determined in what you do.
9. I'm probably missing something.
...and you failed (10).

In order to succeed in IM you will have to work on these points.

 

[super11]

You never fail in life. You only learn things that don't work. Keep trying and eventually, you will learn things that work( provided you don't give up in between)

 

[vasilicaciortan]

You can take it this way: You did not fail. This is just your first step in your success journey.

1. $70 dollars is nothing btw.
2. Search around for adsense earning threads, many people make between 0$ and barely enough to support the cost of hosting and domains.
3. Yes, there are people who make a lot.
4. IM is like gold mining, only few succeed, do your homework first.
5. It doesn`t matter if you don`t like the niche, it is not for you.
6. It takes time.
7. Autoblogging works, I will soon post a thread on my experiment. That being said, don`t solely count on it.
8. It is all about research, execution, commitment.
9. IM is not for people who want to make quick money, or think I will put in an hour and $100 dollars to make $99999999 a week.
10. Advice: there are people who either give away or sell keyword research (macdonjo3 gives out exact keyword domain name searches)
11. There are tools like market samurai, IBP, article spinners, themes, plugins, PLR articles, eBooks, manuals, posts by members, to help you. Seriously, all you have to do is some research on this forum (use search button) and apply some of the stuff you have learned here.

In conclusion, 2 weeks is nothing and $70 is nothing. I and many others have spent much more for same results. It takes time, and experiment a lot.

Add a "privacy page", "disclaimer page", "terms of use" page and "contact us" page. You can get them for free online, just put in your own details. These pages will look good in the eyes of google, boosting your ranks.

So you are saying that if I put all of those pages on my site that google will "like me more"? not being sarcastic, just didn`t know that.

It adds more "meat" to your site. This is especially easy to do on CMS like wordpress. Even if it doesn't help your rankings, it doesn't hurt to add these pages anyway.

Hey thanks a lot I did`t know that. Would it work for adding pages in general, or the policy, privacy, and similar has more weight?

 

[johnbly341]

A couple of thoughts:
1. Scrapebox is an investment. It's certainly not wasted money.
2. Backlink your web 2.0's if you want them to have any effect, and I mean more than Scrapebox blasts.
3. Two weeks is nothing. It isn't enough time to determine if you've failed...unless you quit now. And if you quit then it's failure caused by surrender, not by anything you did on your project.
4. Have you built a variety of backlinks, besides the linkwheel & Scrapebox stuff, including profile links, bookmarks, rss, etc?
5. Where are you ranking with your main keyword? What other keywords are you targeting with other pages? Where are you ranking with those keywords?

Go do some more work. Then you can come back and ask questions if your site doesn't move up in the SERPs.

 

[darkmobius]

yea ok, you failed so what? That's not the end of your IM career, keep trying and less crying

 

[derpywizard]

Adding pages in general. Though I'm sure if a Google Team member would happen to review a site they would like it more if it at least had a policy, tos, or disclaimer in it.

I add them to all my sites because it takes but 5 minutes to set up and that way I can keep the bots coming back for more (during the 1st week or 2 of creation).

I have that, since I use adsense... I am so lazy that I even use a plugin, not really because I am lazy, but so I know that the terms are right. I meant it more as if you have 5 pages instead of 2, if it makes a difference.

Hey man I know what you mean but if you give up, you will be part of the majority of people of failing to make dough on the internet. If you have like 200 bucks saved up or even less, outsource the work on seo. Just learn how to make a wordpress decent blog/website. Also, what I do is outsource for article marketing. Atleast you made negative instead of 0, otherwise you would've still been wondering which is worse mainly bc of the bs stress.
