Black Hat Ranking - Case Study

Some time passed since my last update, so here are the news about this case study.

Week #7

4/4 sites indexed;
4/4 sites ranking higher than last update;
3/4 sites earned something at Adsense;


Rankings

Site #1: 7th Position;
Site #2: 20th Position;
Site #3: 11th Position;
Site #4: 5th Position;

My thoughts: Not many linkbuilding effort has been made. However, all the sites are ranking high.


Earnings

Site #1: All time: 4.38?
Site #2: All time: 0.66?
Site #3: All time: 0.00?
Site #4: All time: 5.04?

My thoughts: Site #1 and Site #4 are still the sites earning more. More earnings will only arrive after getting high on the 1st page.


Linkbuilding

As I said, nothing has been done during the last weeks. The UAW submissions seemed to do nothing.
I have now ordered one 500 words article for each site. I will spin that articles and submit using AMR and then running the links through Linklicious.



Additional Information

It's not that easy to rank brand new sites. As you can see, even with a UAW blast and some Scrapeboxing, they are not high on the first page.
I will now try Article Marketing with a combination of AMR and Linklicious and I hope to achieve better results.

What's the competition and monthly search count?
That would give is more fair picture.

Competition and Traffic Stats

Site #1: 23.000 results - 6600 exact searches;
Site #2: 82.000 results - 1300 exact searches;
Site #3: 66.000 results - 6600 exact searches;
Site #4: 3.330.000 results - 4400 exact searches;

As you can see, the competition is not too high. I'm already at page #1 on most sites with minimum effort, but it takes time.

I hope that the AMR + Linklicious blast + Some Scrapeboxing takes me to the top 5 results.

Great read man.. really like seeing your dedication to this project. Keep up the great work and keep us updated.

3/4 sites earned something at Adsense;


Rankings

Site #1: 7th Position;

Earnings

Site #1: All time: 4.68?
Site #2: All time: 0.66?
Site #3: All time: 0.00?

My thoughts: No substancial earnings yet. In the following weeks the rankings should all increase do the the AMR blasts, so the earnings will hopefully increase too.


Linkbuilding

Site #2 got a AMR blast and Linklicious is now indexing the built links.



Additional Information

I will now wait for 1 week to submit articles through AMR and will post the updates on the following week.

Any update on your progress op? Cheers
