Journey to $40k in 6 months

[∂αякѕтαя]

My traffic also comes from SEO. I've tried everything and it just doesn't convert.. My CR is pretty low from 3% to 6%.

Do you target any specific countries or international?

yeah, the searches are a bit higher than mine.

I do target countries but the niches that are not country targeted are still converting around 10%, with US, UK and PH being biggest source.

I assume you're still using AWM, do you use custom made link lockers or just the default ones? (the same for content lockers)

Is your skype group still active?

Team names are funny, that's why we chose them. But yeah I live with my parents. Not in the basement though, house is big enough to live in.

Thanks.

I use default ones since there wasn't any option to customize before. Now I'm too lazy to split test by changing template. Maybe in future.

There is a skype group but that's restricted to 6-7 members only. Old ones are dead.

Time for a quick update. Currently SH are leading GD by some margin. Here's what everyone did past week:

∂αякѕтαя

First of all let me show the ranking of MS-A and MS-B

MS-A

MS-B

MS-A is showing some potential. I made 2 more posts for MS-A and one post for MS-B. My fourth money site turned out to be failure, so I'm gonna start a new one, and 301 fourth MS to new one. Spent rest of the week finding and registering domains for pbn. Also bought web2.0 service from mseostrategy on MS-A with generic anchors.

mastermind97

I am trying to rank a niche using 301 redirects with lot of twists, some manual web 2.0, tiered linking plus bought another aged domain, so will be creating a small niche specific domain. The niche is a medium competition niche.

krishnacode360

I have finished publishing content for all my sites. Need to optimize the sites for on-page a bit.As soon as I finish with website optimization I will start working on link building. Regarding rankings one of my Amazon site moved to number 48 , one ppi site to 32 and one clickbank site moved to 21 for the main KW.

IMPain

My current parasite rankings:

My money site is still not in top 300. I started new website last week and that too looks like a failure. Will be waiting for one more week, if none of them show up in top 300, both will be replaced. In the meanwhile I will be making post on pbn as well as working on new parasites.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is it for this week. I made an early update because I might not be able to update it next week. Thanks for following.

Have a great week.

 

[linkbuster]

∂αякѕтαя

MS-A

MS-B

Both the sites are starting to rank. MS-A rankings are stable this week. I hired one local freelancer to make some niche relevent forum posts for MS-B. Made some pbn posts for MS-A.

My third money site got indexed, and sent some blog comments(mseostrategy). My designer completed the fourth money site, so will be hiring someone for content and then start working on this. Spending lot of time finding and registering domains for pbn.

mastermind97

For the last week I did all the usual stuff like posting, creating backlinks, etc. My site is slowly ranking and is on 3rd-page to 5th page on few of the keyterms on few niches(mine is a multiniche website).

IMPain

My parasites are still jumping in and out of google. I'm thinking to not continue with parasites and focus only on pbn. My money site is still not ranking so I'm getting rid of it too. Found a great domain, so going to build my new money site around it.

krishnacode360

I have finished building all my sites & few sites ranked on Top 30 for long tail Kw & I have started building links to all my site's both WH + BH

Hi guys, hope you all doing good. Here's what everyone did past week:


∂αякѕтαя

MS-A

MS-B

MS-C

MS-D

Things are looking so good so far. MS-A and MS-B are stable now on 3-6 page. MS-C which I started in third week of June, is already ranking with only 1 pbn post and blog comments. Probably due to good onpage.

Now a surprise. My money site which I started in end May-early June, which i thought was failure turned out to be a surprise. It suddenly started ranking two weeks ago. And that too 3-4 page. Now I need to send some pbn links to this and it will definitely rank.

My fourth money site (now MS-E) is finished with content and everything. Waiting for it to be indexed and then i will start some link building campaigns.

How much I have spent so far?

I have purchased close to 70 pbn by myself (no brokers). So thats 70 x $10(registration fees) = $700.
For hosting 70 pbn domains + money site cost = 80 x $3 = $240 per month.
I have hired web designer for money sites. SO far i bought 4 money sites. cost = 4 x $80 = $360
I spent money on vps for scrapebox so thats $36/month and for proxies $25/month.
I have spent close to $300 for buying web2.0, blog comments, social signals, social bookmarks etc.

Total spent so far: $1360 one time + $300 per month

This is the amount spent since i started working for this competition. So roughly 2 months.

Have I spent too much in one go?
Probably yes. But thats because the niches I'm working in, I know once i crack top 10 I would be looking at $500/day. So i will be breaking even after 3-4 days.

You can start much lower. You can manually build web2.0, blog comments etc and save those $300.
You can make websites yourself and save $360 there.


By the looks of thing, I'm sure websites will be in top 10 by the end of July, or 1st week of August. I will make sure to update with exact money spent each week.

IMPain

One of the money site started ranking out of nowhere. I got rid of parasites and focusing only on pbn. I have started another site and here's how its ranking:

This is without any pbn post. Only some blog comments and web2.0. Third money site i started is indexed but ranking nowhere. Going to try to rank these 3 for now.

How much have i spent so far?

20 pbn domains myself = 20 x $10 = $200
25 hostings including money site and pbn = 25 x $4 = $100 per month
Vps and proxies for gsa ser = $36 + $25 per = $61 per month
Web2.0, blog comments, social signals = $200


Total money spent = $400 one time + $161 per month

krishnacode360

I am just adding contents and building links manually for all sites. So far things are good. All sites are now on 2-4 page. Only matter of more content and some more quality links till it hit top 10.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mastermind couldn't update because of internet problem. Things are looking good for both teams. Hopefully money will start flowing in coming month.

Thanks for following.

Have a great week.

Hi OP, I am very interested on this unique journal, but can I have a request?
Can all of you also stated the amount of money needed to work/buy something so that will be some comparison in earnings maybe.

for example this week OP bought 3 domains so it will be $30 expense, but this week earned $60.

So that I will be able to conclude something like "based on this journey, to achieve $xxx/day, you need $xxx to build MNS and so forth"
thanks

Actually someone else suggested that but I completely forgot about it. Now that you have suggested I remembered it again. I have edited the post to show how much me and IMpain has spent so far. I will try to get everyone to tell how much they spent in the next update.

Thanks

MS-A

MS-B

MS-C

MS-D

MS-E

All the sites have improved ranking which is a good sign. MS-E is new money site I started early July. It only has one pbn post and some blog comments and web2.0. I have not purchased any domain past weeks due to scrapebox problem which was fixed two days ago.

How much have i spent last week?
$12 blog comment and $29 web2.0 for MS-E. Total cost: $41
$20 social signals for MS-B and MS-D

IMPain

Some keywords are dancing in and out of google. Have done nothing except posting on pbn.

Its already top 10. Competition was easy so its not something unexpected. It only has 2-3 pbn links.

New site I started early July is already ranking. It has one or two pbn links. I have bought web2.0 and blog comments for it while made some web2.0 myself.

mastermind97

Because of internet issues not much work done though I had made some web 2.0s as a backlinks which are around 18 for only one niche

How much have i spent last week?

130$ in domainsvps 20$ per month
proxies 20$ per month
2 hostings 10$ each per month
fcsnetworker 27$ per month

Hello there,

Its been a long time since I updated last time. I had to close the thread since I was out of town. Now unfortunately this journey can't be completed since one of the guy had to leave IM to study in USA, while the other moved out of seo venture.

I don't like to leave things halfway, so I'm thinking to make it my own journey. We will see about that.

Here's little update:

MS-A

Its dead. I built some gsa ser links to test and well it backfired. Will leave it as it is, while running gsa ser for 10 links a day.

MS-B

Red color shows previous ranking(last update). So it made quite an improvement.

MS-C

MS-D

MS-E

Huge improvement. 2 keywords moved from NA to top 15, while one moved from 38 > 5.

MS-F

New money site. Almost 1 and half month old.


So, since last April I had only 2-3 site moved to top 10. Quite a failure for me. The purpose of thread will be sole purpose of how to rank.
In next update I will show what I did since I started, how much I invested and What's the future plan.

Have a good day.

 

[Mercury_Hg]

I enjoyed reading your old thread. Keep this alive!

 

[Boriss]

Good that you update the thread.
Waiting for the next update.

Wish you best of luck!
