Adsense + MNS - Journey to $4000/year

I am trying to make some money from adsense using organic traffic. So far I almost never really ranked a site in Google except few times by accident and the ranking lasted just few months. Almost always soon as I start creating links the site is gone from serps even I follow all the advices from BHW. Even if i make few link per site. Now I am going to try as much as i can to rank at least one of the sites

On site:
- Manual content written by me or ordered here
- Keyword density 1% or less, 2-5 articles per site which are EMDs/PMDs.


Off site:
I will be doing everything myself because each time i bought a link building service my site got out of top 1000.
- t1: semi-manually (zennoposter ) posted web 2.0 with manually written content
- t2: manually spun or wac content and GSA
- t3: GSA ans wac content


What I have done so far:
I bought 10 domains added few articles on each. These are really easy keywords, however just one of domain is in the top 10.


Targeted search volume for the primary keyword:
domain 1 - 14K per month
domain 2 - 15K visitors per month
domain 3 - 10K visitors per month
domain 4 - 8K visitors per month
domain 5 - 2.5K visitors per month
domain 5 - 1.4K visitors per month
domain 6 - 1.7K visitors per month
domain 7 - 4K visitors per month
domain 8 - 2K visitors per month
domain 9 - 8K visitors per month
domain 10 - 18K visitors per month



Rank in Google:
domain 1 - none
domain 2 - none
domain 3 - was #91 yesterday, now none after 2 contextual links from web 2.0.
domain 4 - none
domain 5 - none
domain 6 - none
domain 7 - none
domain 8 - #27
domain 9 - none
domain 10 - none


Ranking in yahoo and bing - pretty much all of them are in top 20.

Competition research for the keywords:
domain 1


domain 2



domain 3



domain 4


domain 5


domain 8






I am now doing link building and I am going to write around 100 unique articles and post them to web 2.0's manually, building around 10 links per each site. Hopefully I will get at least 1 of these sites ranked and not banned.

Yesterday i wrote 2 articles and made 2 links to the domain 3 and in has already acting strange. It was ranked #91 and now it cannot be found on serps and I only built 2 links one from sitew.org and another one from blog.com.

Web 2.0 list so far:

Finally seeing a senior member putting on some elbow grease


Lets see if you can pull this off


Best of luck

Interesting journey. How many articles do you plan adding to each of your site?

Good luck.

Best of luck buddy. Hope you reach your goals.

Best of luck for your journey mate, Hopefuly I will learn a bit about ranking MNS .

Depending on your CPC, i think you might be able to make more than 4,000$ a year if you rank them high

Nice keyword #8, whats the CPC?

Off to a running start. Good luck on the journey.

2-5 on site depending on earnings. 10-15 per site on promotions.

At last, a "supreme member" is doing a great journey, I like the idea and I wish you good luck with the journey. I subscribed when I saw you're a good member.

CPC is high, most keywords are well above $1, for example for domain 4 cpc is $10. Buy I highly doubt I will get anywhere near $4000 per tear, but at lest i could cover the expenses with yahoo traffic.

Wishing you a good luck in your journey.

Good Target..

My Best Wishes to Your successful journey ..

I use other ways to make money but I hardly ever managed to rank domains I own. Even if I did the domain looses traffic in few months.

God damn I'd buy your keyword #8 but I guess ur not interested

Update:

I have been working on domain 4. This keyword is pretty easy to rank, has over 8000 searches per month, and CPC is over $10 . I have been ranking for the keyword at position 90 on average before I built any links. However, once I've written 5 articles, put them on Web 2.0's, link it to the site using various anchors the site is gone from Google. I added around hundred social bookmarks using pligg sites as T2.

These are pretty decent and unique articles used it on T1 with pictures and videos, anchors are okay, and there is no reason why would the site to lose its ranking like that. I'm going to wait a bit and see what happens, even I'm pretty sure this site has gone for good. I didn't mention that the articles used on the site are pretty good, and there is no keyword over-optimization.

Summary:
5 articles written for Web 2.0's
All articles posted
Around hundred social bookmarks to Web 2.0's
Lost rank


I'll continue to work not domain 8, which should be the easiest to rank. I'm pretty sure I will not rank but let's try anyway.

5 web 2.0-s can't make your site be gone 4 ever. It's just dancing and revaluating your site (cause of the links, the age of article etc).

I didn't ever see site coming back after dancing but I will wait and see.

I have seen than just 1 link (blog comment) caused site to loose all the rankings. For example one of the services I ordered blog comments from caused the site to loose all rankings with just 5 links. Actually each time I ordered links I lost all my rankings. And even sometimes when I built the links myself as now.

Edit. The first time i see it. #130 at the moment out from n/a. I hope the result will improve over time.

Subscribed. Be patient the site will come back. Make sure you build links with generic anchor. To dilute the anchor, I usually create account on relevant forums and after making 10-20 posts I add naked url of my site in the sig. This easily dilutes the anchor. Do it on 2-3 forums and your anchor will be dilluted.
