seocrab's AdSense journey to $500/month

One thing is missing how much you are spending on this campaign ?

Nope, not missing. I believe he stated that he wrote the content himself on a previous page, and here's a post from just a few days ago:

My sites are PR3, PR3, PR3 and PR4, each with around 10 pages. I added sitewide links to all pages, with branded anchors (not exact match keywords), giving each site a health 30+ decent links from the get-go. Since I already bought these sites for the AdSense project, the cost is $0.
Correct me if I'm wrong, seocrab.
 
Firstly, I'm interlinking all my sites together. Risky, you say? Well, actually, these sites will soon be linked via AdSense ID and Google will know they are owned by the same person so there's no footprint to bother hiding.

Very bad idea !
You should avoid interlinking for SEO gains especially when big G knows you own them all. You are following a crooked logic that there's no risk when google already knows the sites are your own, but you are forgetting that this EXACTLY is the foolish risk.

It almost seems less suspicious to me that he is interlinking several sites that are all connected to the same adsense account. If I were a Google employee, I would think that since he's not trying to hide anything, he's not doing anything wrong.
 
Lots of great info in this thread, you are surely doing a good job OP. Keep it going.
 
good to see you back.
TIP: Don't send high pr comment backlinks directly to site.
when you will post a comment that page might have olb less then 5 , but after a month or two that page may have 10k spam comments.

Hey seocrab,
Thank you for this great share.
I have a question, I created a website with 5 keywords , only one of them is showing on SERPs and it keeps bouncing
the other keywords have no serps ! I don't know why even that I bought a five unique articles I only did on-page seo! so do you have any hints ?
And please , can you explain how do you edit the videos and make them unique ?

Thank you.
 
Any updates on this? Would love to see how you continue with this journey!
 
Hi everyone,
I just dropped by to see how the journey is going and to provide an update as well for my niche site which am also following along with Seocrab
ranking has been slow but steady.

As you will see i am now using keyword Tracker in LTP to monitor my keywords.
Basically what I have done for the site is a couple of backlinking with web 2.0 and few PR links

before SEcrab comes around and answer your questions, i do like to give you some tips
first off it is possible that your other pages may have been penalized for over optimization with keyword. Check that your primary keywords you are attempting to rank each pages for are not more than 0.6% stuffed with primary keyword. I say this with a bit of confidence because i recently suffered same from the site i built to go along with Seocrab journey. the page was not ranking for its main keyword despite link building to the page. On close scrutiny, i discovered that the page in question had a keyword density of 0.9%. The primary keyword for the page showed up in google and has since moved to #78 after downgrading the keyword density of that page to 0.5%.
I hope this helps you out with your site.
cheers!
 
UPDATE!

Firstly, I'm interlinking all my sites together. Risky, you say? Well, actually, these sites will soon be linked via AdSense ID and Google will know they are owned by the same person so there's no footprint to bother hiding.

My sites are PR3, PR3, PR3 and PR4, each with around 10 pages. I added sitewide links to all pages, with branded anchors (not exact match keywords), giving each site a health 30+ decent links from the get-go. Since I already bought these sites for the AdSense project, the cost is $0.

Next step, video marketing. I scraped a couple of decent videos from YT, edited them to make them unique and uploaded to YT and Vimeo. This was done for each site, on each site page (20 videos in total). Again, cost is $0.



Following along, just made my videos too. I got 4 existing PR2 sites and an adSense account from 2008 which I will use while following this particular journey.



Will wait for your next update and wish you luck.
 
I too am embarking on a similar journey. Bookmarked for future reference.
Good luck :)
