I have started this thread to give back to this community as this is the place that I've learned a lot from. I would like to thank BHW forum and share a method to rank on big keywords.
I have successfully ranked #1 in 35 000 exact monthly searches, #3 in 220 000 exact monthly searches and #25 in 90 000 exact monthly searches and also a lot of long tail keywords in highly competitive niches.
Sorry about the grammar mistakes(EN is not my first language).
Website 1 - 35 000 exact monthly searches
The website ranked #1 on a 35 000 exact monthly searches keyword and it makes about $170 a day. The rankings are still holding up.
About the website:
- Bought 1 high quality article
- I registered a fresh new domain, partialy EMD 2 months ago
- Added unique images and one video (the websites that have images and videos rank more easily)
About the seo I did on this page:
- Tier 1 - It consisted of about 1400 blogposts. Most of the sites had pretty good DA and PA.
- Tier2 - After most of the links from tier 1 have been indexed and the website started to rank on first page of the google bought a xrumer blast to all the tier 1 links
Website 2 - 90 000 exact monthly searches
The website ranked #25 in 90 000 exact monthly searches and it makes very little money(when it will reach top3 most probably it will earn over $200 a day).
About the website:
- Bought 1 high quality article
- I registered a fresh new domain not an EMD, it is more like a brand.
About the seo I did on this page:
- Tier 1 - It consisted of about 800 social bookmarks, 1050 blogposts and some high pr wikis.
- Tier2 - I have blasted it with blog comments and GSA(wikis, bookmarks and video links)
Website 3 - 220 000 exact monthly searches
The website ranked #3 in 220 000 exact monthly searches and it makes about $240 a day. There are also a lot of related keywords ranking top 10.
About the website:
- Bought 5 high quality article
- I registered a fresh new domain, partialy EMD one month ago
- Added unique images
About the seo I did on this page:
- Tier 1 - It consisted of 1400 blogposts and 70 web2.0 links.
- Tier2 - I am waiting for the web20 links to get indexed and then I will blast them out with gsa and xrumer. After tier2 is done most likely it will hit the top one position.
Here's a motivational earning screen.

As you can see, tiered linking still works lie a charm, using this you can rank for highly competitieve keywords. Each site is costing me about $800 to rank, and all the sites are churn and burn types, I don't care if I lose the rankings some day, because the do make a very good ROI.
