How do you manage and keep everything in your private blog network organized?
My staff/ partner manages that mainly so I can't really answer this question in as much detail.. but I do know for sure we do daily checks on everything to make sure it is up to standards. We also make sure the VA's we have are experienced and are technical enough to be managing our networks.
Excellent post, will continue to follow.
Here's a question that's different from the rest; how do you avoid burnout? I feel like I am constantly "on" from wake until sleep. Perhaps that's because I also own a offline business. What do you do to shut off, or do you?
Very good question. I spend most of my time on the computer and its getting worryingly more serious nowadays. I do go out and stuff and that's vital but I'm now spending more time on my campaigns, clients etc.
I usually find it very hard to leave my work space until I know I've done everything on my to do list, and usually, my to do lists are extremely long. However, I just put a reminder on my to do lists to have a break. Most of the times, I listen to what I write and I go out for a drink, or a game of football, or even just to watch TV.
I have been going to the gym recently now for about 3 or 4 times a week and believe it or not, this actually does help to a certain extent. I feel more live and energetic these days and also get more work done than before. Maybe try it out. Or you could just buy a mat, a few tools and weights and you're good to do it from home - working out does give you that extra adrenaline and it helps me be more productive and enjoy my social time too.
Also, how much content do you put on your 2.0 sites? Will (manually) spun articles suffice?
If its pointing to an important site of mine, I do not take any risks so I use unique content.
My website is ranking #9 and #14 for some medium competitive keywords. I want to bring it to #1 for both keywords.
What do you suggest doing at this stage? What kind of links would be helpful to bring this to #1?
Till now I have focussed on social bookmarks, directories, blog comments and article directories. Web 2.0s did not help much when I tried them on complete different site.
If its just a churn and burn site then go ahead and add in some powerful blog network links. Give it that final push. It's good that you're building a solid variety of links (bookmarks, etc etc) but now it's time you give it that final push into the top page (hopefully). I don't want to mention any services or anything but take a look in the BST section, read the reviews and you'll find something for sure!
If its a major important site and you want to play it safe, then just build more links and slowly increase your link building speed / velocity. Build in some more high PR links and try to get some from different sources. Add in different links if you can, and throw up some content on your site. Keep playing around and you'll get that final push for sure if you try!
Give me some idea to increase traffic & sale in clickbank?
From where should I get unique articles (500 or 300 words) at cheapest price?
Which is the best site to buy domain with hosting? (cheapest)
As for cheapest price, check out the BHW marketplace - there are some pretty cheap article writers which I know of. I currently use Hostgator and whilst there has been 1 small downtime in the past, their support and their service simply rocks for me. Never had any big issues and I hope Il never get any.
For domain names, I tend to go to Namecheap as they usually always have some sort of discount or coupon going on and their customer support and service is often top notch, and the best in the industry in my opinion.
i'm going to buy HMA VPN service
can i use it for scrapebox
buying proxy is not used for me, i bought tons of private proxy but they are slower than i thought, much slower
i search answer for this question before but i want to get it from Jr Vip
I don't think HMA VPN would work well with Scrapebox but I may be wrong..
Hi Leith - great thread - thanks for putting the time and thought into this.
I'm about to start a very small network to feed into my site. I've bought about 5 domain names from GD Auctions. I intend to build these up into 'proper' sites - a bit of the reason for this is to experiment with, build up DA and see if I can monetise them.
When I've been buying these domains what I've noticed in my niche is that there are plenty of name type domains available cheaply (there are a lot of sole traders in my niche).
A typical domain may be FredBlogsNICHE.com or FBniche.com These domains are typically DA 20+, PA 30 (ish) and PR2-3.
Any thoughts of picking these up and adding 6 - 10 pieces of content then pointing them to my main site. If anyone came across the sites they'd simply look like hobbyist sites?
Cheers,
Phil
Sure thing.. but again, make sure they are someway related to your main site. Don't buy gaming sites for a health site of yours for example.
But yes, if they are related, pick them up, fix their on page SEO, and start adding GOOD quality content - not spun crap. Good, lengthy (750 or so word) articles and use images, etc and keep adding the content. You want these sites to look like real sites and not just used as a tier 2 for SEO.
So yep, go for it! If they already have some decent PA/DA, then that's a good start. You can always increase the PA/DA for these with more quality SEO and the juice from these sites will also flow onto your main site which you'll be linking to. So yeah, go for it and let me know how it goes!
