Update:
Site 1 ranking (main keyword chart)
I've built few more HQ links for this website. Some web2,few pbns and some manual blog comments, however , no matter how many HQ links I build,it is stuck and dancing on 3rd page for my main keyword. I am not sure why but I guess because the website is new (approx 1 month).
Backlink structure so far for this website:
So far I wasted 44$ for domains that never got indexed but it was my fault. They had good links but as it seems they were penalized previously.
Anchor text ratio:
- I've used my main keyword 2 times only so far
- Jim = Blog comments.
So far ,only 60% of my overall links are indexed. I am not trying to push them hard in order to get indexed. I am letting serp crawlers to discover these pages naturally.
Social media experiment:
I ordered 1 controversial article from text broker,in a board niche of my website/keyword. 1500 words for $40. I asked the writer to write a catchy headline which he did.I got the article,edited the formating ,added few pictures and videos then I submitted the article to reddit. Here are some interesting facts that I discovered:
- The article on my website was indexed in 14 minutes.
- In the next 24h, it sends 372 visitors to my website with a total of 490 since the moment that I submitted the article to reddit
- Bounce rate from reddit visitors is very high , 95%
- Conversion to sales ---- 0 I sent 76 clicks to amazon with 0 conversion Those clicks were product suggestions inside the article.
Site 2
Site 2 ranking:
I haven't done much on this website. Just build few blog comments (5 or so) and just 2 pbn links so far and this site is doing well. The competition is less though. Main KW for this site has 3K searches while for site 1 , 11K.
As you can see , I've put all my energy & money to site 1 which is not good at all and I should concentrate on other sites as well in order to diversify and to not get attached to 1 website
My top competitor for ns1 has 80+ pbn links while I have 14 with only 60% indexed with my backlinks.
I will wait a bit before building any new link to NS1 and will start few more money sites.
I've decided to do few changes on my plan though , since money sites are costing me a lot.
- I am going to hire a freelancer writer from Philippines or maybe order some cheap articles from BST section (3-4$/500 words max)
- I will use this content as "filler - temporary content" and see how well the website ranks and if it ranks at all.
- Once it does, I will replace it with HQ content from text broker.This way I will be able to reduce my cost to 1/3 in case that some websites don't rank.
- I plan to do the same with backlinks as well.So far I went with 1 network per 1 money site but this is costing a lot of time and money as well.I will go the same route like Alex is explaining http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/black-hat-seo/697565-pbn-q-ask-me-anything-about-how-i-build-manage-rank-pbns.html.
- I will build 1 main network and use it to test sites to see how and if they rank,once they do,I will move to dedicated network for each money site and remove old links slowly . This will save me lot of money for my entire plan of 10 websites.
That's all so for folks.
Let me know if you have any questions/suggestions.
