[First Steps] clockhouse SEO Journey

[clockhouse]

March 2, 2015


I've started up GScraper again to look for more expired domains to pick up. I might add some more domains into my current PBN, but I'm going to be waiting on all the domains getting indexed first to see where my SERPs end up. After that I will be scraping for GSA to build more links.

• Harvesting expired domains

March 3, 2015 - Morning Update

Checked my current PBN and only 4 more domains (the new ones I recently added) needs to be indexed. SERPs for my targeted keyword is stuck on the third page right now and I'm planning on waiting my whole PBN to be fully indexed before adding anymore to it.

Before I went to bed, I put in a batch of scraped domains to see if they were available. I'll be spending most of the day going through this list and hopefully finding some nice looking domains to pick up.

To-Do

• Indexing
• Queue another article for PBN
• Go through expired domains

March 3, 2015 - Evening Update


Slowly working my way through the available domains; I'm spending more time looking through the website on archive. I started up GScraper and it's harvesting for GSA. And it looks like my keyword is stuck on 21. Hopefully once the last remaining domains get indexed it'll hop over onto page 2.

• PBN: 21/24 Indexed
• Found 10 domains to purchase

March 4, 2015 - Update


I finished going through the list of domains to see which one I should pick up. I ended up with 26 new domains to purchase. I don't even think I'm going to need to use all 26 for my main keyword.

I'm going to be spending the rest of today setting up these domains.

• Indexing
• Registered domains

SERPs


Main keyword is now rank 20. Hopefully with the new domains and the links I'm scraping now for GSA will help push it to the first page.

I?ve downloaded and cleaned up 29 word press themes to use for these domains. That took most of the day , but before I did that I sent my hosting service an email with my domains. I?m going to set up the domains that I?ve switched out (the penalized ones) tonight and hopefully the rest if I get an email back.

I was suppose to set up 10 domains last night for the PBN, but i fell asleep on the couch waiting for the domains to propagate. :S
On the bright side, I've set up 6/10 last night before that happened.

I'm going to be setting up the remaining 4 domains and then adding another article to be dripped into the PBN.

To-Do

• Index
• Set up 10 total domains for PBN
• Drip an article into PBN

March 5, 2015 - Mid Afternoon Update

Finished setting up the rest of the domains. I'm going to wait until those index and see where the main keywords is going to end up on the SERPs. I've dripping in a couple of articles into the PBN with random days.

I did a little scrape a few days ago, filtered it, and loaded it up into GSA.

EDIT: I trimmed the fat on the PBN (removed all domains with TF20>= and now I have 19 domains remaining).

The average TF is 27, CF is 17, and the ratio is 0.65.

SERPs

Switched over to SerpWoo from PRT so i can only show the top 20 keywords in my projects now. Main keyword is now pos. 17

I bought a service a few weeks ago from the BST section to research a ClickBank keyword. I quickly looked at the first page and it doesn?t look like a hard keyword to rank for. I haven?t gone in and looked at each backlink profile in the Top 10, but there are others trying to promote different products, which means there?s money to be made here.


Also, in the Top 5, is a parasite page (YouTube); I think I?m going to try ranking a FaceBook parasite for this keyword. I won?t be starting that until I?m the project at hand, but I will be slowly prepping my campaign.

Looks like the rankings are staying the same for my main keyword, even though I removed domains the other day. I'm going to be building more domains for the PBN today to get some SERP movement going again.


To-Do


Indexing
Building remaining domains

Thanks for the support winosergio! I hope you're rocking the serps!


March 7, 2015 - Update #2


I?ve set up most of the domains and I?ve added them to my PBN on BlogXen. There were a few domains that are giving me issues (403, 404, No Response, etc) and I?ve emailed my hosting about this and hopefully I?ll get these set up by the end of the day.


I?ve added another article to be dripped into the network and I?m going to be starting another scrape for domains today.



PBN Stat


Here are the update stats on my current PBN after the clean up and adding in the new domains. This is going to change again soon once I get the other domains fixed. :S

I've set up 2 more domains that my host set up. There's still a few that I'm waiting on and hopefully they come in today as well.

I'm going through and changing the prefix in the domain url (EX: www.domain.com) to what was giving me the highest TF on majestic. I forgot to check this when I set up the domains and luckily there weren't many to fix.

My VPN was turned off unexpectedly last night which sucks since it was running some programs, but oh well, can't be crying over what can't be changed.


My host replied back with two more domains fixed and ready to be set up. Going to be spending the first part of my day doing that and I'll go on from there.


To-Do


Index
Set up domains and add to PBN

 

[clockhouse]

March 8, 2015 - Update #2


I emailed them to remove the three domains that are still giving issues and it's taking WAY to long to set up a website lol, especially a simple, static website for a PBN.
Im going to find another host for these ones and the next batch (I should anyways and spread out my IP's).


Going to go through what GScraper harvested last night and hopefully find some new domains today.


To-Do


Find new hosting for remaining domains
Find new domains to pick up

Do you scrape for domains with backlinks from authority sites?

Do you scrape for domains with backlinks from authority sites?

Yup! I look around for niche relevant sites or just giant sites in general.


March 8, 2015 - Update #3


All right! Found a new host today and bought a package for 5 IP?s and I?ve added the 3 that I removed from the other host today to these guys and the sites are up and running!


After going through the expired domains; I?ve found 3 new domains. I purchased them, sent them to my usual host, and they?re up and running now as well.


I?m going to start another scrape with GScraper to find some more domains to fill up the remaining IPs.


Went onto Analytics to see how it's been doing this week and it looks like the site is already starting to generate some kind of money. So I went over to Adsense to see how it was doing today and to my surprise it's actually generating a few cents every now and then!

SERPs

I've switched back to serpbook because I like it tracks my serps in the Top100+. I'm still keeping my SERPWOO membership because it still has lots of other uses!


My main keyword is still hovering around the top of the second page (last keyword, POS 19, and 5600 searches). Hopefully once these new domains become indexed this will change for the better.

Busy day, didn't get to work on much today except the little every day things like indexing. I was checking on my PBN to see how many of them are being indexed and dripping in an article. Other then that, all I did read into SAPE links and they look interesting.
