Building a "authority site" from scratch step by step Journey

I've seen you got blog posts from deindexed domains, get rid of them as fast as you can. You don't want to be linked with domains that got hit or manual penalties, I hope it's not too late.
Contact the supplier, he should take care of this. This kind of service could drag your whole website down.

Congrats on your journey so far!

Thanks I know, I usually check the links after a months or two if they are in good shape. But the seller from here( I don't wanna name no one), was like yes will fix that shit and stuff...I don't wanna get in to the details but he F*** up my rankings really good. My first key to enter top 10 dropped to 50+ positions and stayed there.
So I need to do some repairing but it look good. I have a few kw ranking top 20 with no seo, but they are week kw anyway

Little update:

I did manage to add 3 more articles today, two are 330+ words and the other one is 1K word article.

Surprisingly after few hours one of the article KW was ranking in 220+/- position with 80 000 UV then. Now the keyword is on the 159 place which is nice. I don't know its is only a spike or not, but from my experience its shouldn't be....time will tell.

Today Update:
I have added a subscribe popup. I have problems one after another, but its done now.
I have tested it and it works great, except the conformation mail is going in the junk folder...I have to do something about that, if its possible.

I am using mailchimp and other two plugins to create the pop up subscribe thing.

That it for now, probably later i will do another update if I add on or two articles and do something more.

Update:

I was obsessed this few day with the speed of my site, I have tried everything.
My site loading page was above 2mb I was trying to cut it in half, removing plugins, editing the code, editing htaccess, function.php, w3 total cache, etc.

I did give up, I couldn't decrease the size more then 1.4 mb and the loading speed is now about 2.5. Its not the worst speed, but its not satisfactory as I've learned the speed of the site does matter for rankings.

Also started to work on my social profiles, for now on twitter only. I have 414 followers in this moments and I have to say its hard for this niche, I get about 20 per day.

Also added 4 articles to the site, one of the article is 1K+ words. My plan for now is to add constantly new articles until I reach 200, now I'm at 68 articles.

Also I have added a popup to my site for subscription and offering a free eBook if the visitors joins. So far no subscribers as I get really low visitors.

If someone knows what is the statistic for lets say 1000 visitors how many subscribers should I realistically expect?

My advice.. When purchasing blog posts(pbn links) dont buy them unless you keep buying and buying continuesly as sometimes i believe sellers change their blogs regularly as you see when a pbn gets crowded it will creats big footprint and this will put a signal to big G to deindexed that blog or maybe something else that will harm your money site or any post that was published.. In short its not a private blog network anymore its a public network already.. So better go for link building packages and diversify your anchortexts and spread your site to various platform if you want to have a good safe solid boost.. Build your own pbn and just put 1 money site per pbn to avoid footprint.. ive learn this from my past experience.. Anyways this is just my advice. Hope you understand what i mean

My plan is to build my own web 2.0 and pay for T2 as I don't have the money to pay constantly for link building. And I agree with you, if you start building links , you should continue building them.

Update:

This few days I was thinking of converting my site to silo site. I end up quitting on the idea as I'll need to change absolutely everything even the link structure.

So I decided to take one category and play with inner linking and correcting the article a little bit. I will wait for 2-3 days to see if there is any positive changes if not I will change the interlinking structure.

I will repeat the processes until I find the best inner linking structure that will deliver the best result.

So are you giving up on your current website right now?

No, absolutely no! I am just giving up on transforming the website into a silo website.

I have to inform That I will making a break from this journey for a few months. The reason is I don't have enough $$ to continue in this moment.
I am not giving up, jut making a little break so I can make money from other ventures so I can continue with my baby. I will still work on it, but nothing significant that I need to post it here(but if something significant happened I will )

I planing to try twitter +CB or other mix but it will be with twitter.
I will open a new journey for my new venture and Ill post the link there of the thread is you are interested in reading it.

I don't recommend twitter + cb. Try something free like CPA email submits with twitter. Social traffic is not in buying mode but they could be willing to give their email to win an iPhone etc.

I don't know what I will do for monetization, its to early to plan. I will test it with different things and see what is paying better

BTW this is my Twitter journey http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh.../738801-wizards-ultimate-twitter-journey.html
