Before getting back to the web 2.0 I want to share something pretty interesting. At least for me.
Today I read a thread where someone asked about first SEO steps for a fresh new website. You already know the stuff which is considered steady and safe. Like build social profiles (G+, Facebook, Twitter, etc) and slowly create web 2.0s, few manual blog comments, doc shares, .... ...
And don't get me wrong. I know it works and I've been doing it for months for my other sites. But then somebody wrote something like "don't make it too fast.. don't buy 150 high pr blog posts at the beginning" ..
I have actually great experiences with it so far. Look at the picture below. It's about 4,500 exact local searches keyword.
It's about month old new domain with just few articles and about 600-1k backlinks. 100% composed of cheap bulky high pr blog posts.
Right now I'm hitting #16 position for the main keyword, it's also at first page for smaller keywords. I expect the site to increase even more in following days / weeks as the blog posts are still dripping. The site may make about $300 / month on autopilot once it get top positions. So I'm happy for it.
Definitely true that it might get penalized as the backlink profile isn't natural but who cares. Let's see what is going to happen in near future.
** Please note - This isn't the spammed web 2.0 from beginning of the thread as that site is still nowhere to be found.
