I'm going to throw my hat in
hell, i'll make this promise, if i end up winning, and i can get decent at SEO, i'll return the favor...
i'll do a journal just like this, say everything im doing, and i'll pay it forward and give away a site
Like the title says, I am going to give away a free website... but there is a catch.
I'm going to get it ranked for the lucky person first.
I started on the site yesterday and it is a fairly competitive financial niche and if you use adsense to monetize it, you will make nice money from it as the estimated CPC is 8.36.
The local monthly volume of searches is 6600 so that is a little over 300 a day and that number has been fairly steady for the past year.
I'm using Word Press with a few plugins and will add content at least once per day 5 days a week. I may add more than that but for sure it will get attention 5 days a week and I'll keep this thread updated.
Thus far, I have 4 articles on the site and 3 images with the images named the main keyword phrase that I am targeting.
I am only going to use my linkpushing service to rank it and I will keep you in the loop as to what we are doing there as well. I will not be adding any backlinks to it for a few days.
The site is not even indexed yet since I just started it yesterday, but that will change in day or so I am sure.
Depending on the weather today, I may add another article and I still need to clean up the theme a little as well. If the weather turns a little nicer, I'll probably not do a whole lot on it as the golf course has been calling my name.
I haven't decided how to choose the person that gets the site so if you have some suggestions, I would appreciate it... I'd like to see it go to someone that is struggling a bit but is working hard none the less.
The domain is a .biz and I also own the .org and the .us and although I will not do anything with them as far as content etc, I will give that to the winner as well.
It's also sitting at Godaddy so it will be easy to push to you when the site is ranked and getting traffic.
Believe me when i say: We eagerly await your ebookHere's some updates for the BHW community... I had a few minutes and did some more KW research and identified 70+ ancillary keywords that I am going to work with for this site so there will be no less than 70 unique articles 450+ words on it targeting those KWs.
I'll add 2 or 3 articles a day and as I add the articles, I will run 1 linkpush to each article to start getting the site ranked.
The total number of local monthly searches for all those keywords is 7,600,000 and the average CPC for adsense is 3.89 so you will have some higher paying KWs and some lower paying KWs if you choose to monetize it using adsense.
I also started on the ebook to give away for you folks can see what I do to build a site such as this one... I'm no genius, that's for sure, so if I can do it so can you!
BassTrackerBoats:
Quick question. Are you planning on using one complete link push per page of your site? I ask because I am curious about the cost of developing and promoting our own sites. When I compare the cost of your full service link pushing, to promote 70 pages individually would cost almost $500.
While I agree that you need to spend money to make money, I am asking you if you could share any tactics for streamlining the process. For example could you promote 3 pages with each link push initially. Then do a second round where you target all the non-ranking pages individually?
I guess what I am trying to ask is if you were buying your own service would you spend the $500 initially to rank all pages or ease into it more slowly?

What do use for KW research, Google's tool? Or MS?
Thank you very much for replying to my question so quickly. I am pretty sure I understand but I like to use examples to solidify this in my wee brain.If I was my own client, I would not target all 70 pages right away but would rather build the backlinking structure slower.
Btw, apart from this demo/case study, have you done any other testing that you can share the effectiveness of linkpushing? The reason I ask is that I am curious about budgeting (as you can tell from my line of questions).
I would like to know if you can use link pushing exclusively to rank pages or do you still suggest using a mixture of links, such as articles or profiles, etc? And if so, is that based on an actual test case or just instincts?
Thank you once again.
JC.
