Hyphenated domains lost Googles love long long time ago.

That's interesting, because I had an EMD that was kw1-kw2-kw3.com that was number 1 and 2 for years, alternating back and forth with another guy who had kw1kw2kw3.com.

The phrase itself was 3 words long, so it wasn't like a keyword stuffed domain.

Anyway, last year my site dropped off the map and his is still number 1 and number 2. His site is like 1 year older than mine, and mine has higher pagerank, DA, PA, mozrank, moztrust, more backlinks, more content, etc. The only difference is that his doesn't have hyphens.

I even submitted a reconsideration request to Google about my site and they replied and said nothing suspicious was detected. So it's not even like I got penalized for spammy SEO or anything.

So it's possible you are right about the hyphens.

Maybe I heard wrong, but weren't EMD's suppose to be "bad" now?

A lot of older EMDs got penalized but that penalty may not apply to new ones.

Earlier you said you made an extra $4 in 1 hour from being #7 - how much are you making being #6 consistently?

Great job, bro!
What CMS are you using? wordpress?

Yes

Trust me. Tested many times last 2 years.

As I said before some keywords just can't rank well as EMDs anymore.

Earlier you said you made an extra $4 in 1 hour from being #7 - how much are you making being #6 consistently?

It is not solid position. I am 7th today. You need some time before you rank at same or almost the same positions in every city/town and state if your domains is new. Even one old site could be # 3 in Arizona but #4 in Chicago or #2 in L.A

~ $20. I expect more today

That sounds a little steep - $25 per article? Sorry if I missed this info earlier in the thread, but is your niche something that requires fairly extensive research or specialty to write about in sufficient detail?

Can you tell us your article suplier? I am looking for high quality articles. Thank you in advance.

No but exceptional content helps a lot for organic rankings and social signals.

This BST is a great deal. 1000 words for $20

And people say EMDs are not powerful anymore! Same thing has happened in my niche, a fairly low quality EMD has come online in the last few months and has been getting very good Google rankings for all my paying keywords. Initially pissed me off but now I'm just copying hima nd getting some EMDs of my own.

When you leave comments, do you include a link in the comment? Do you use keyword as the anchor text?

Please share more about your SEO strategy.

thanks for this useful thread,though seems EMD didn't work as well as before after google update,but nice to learn!

busaboss · Jul 15, 2013

Great progress! Are you using pure blog commenting for link building or are you also using web 2.0s and other methods? Thanks!
