Thanks everyone, been doing pretty well.
As for ranking on google... why not?
Im already ranking for 4k+ keywords since starting my project. According to Ahrefs, my traffic value is worth $3.7k
I made $630 since March 21st from Amazon Affiliates and Adsense combined. I don't know if that will be consistent but we'll see. It's looking good
Going to work on scaling this and throwing a little more money on link building. Link building is really key if your page is already SEO optomized. I've realized that long articles are doing very well nowadays too (3000+ keywords and 10+ pictures). My biggest article has 12k keywords lol.
If your buying links for a new site, make sure to buy a diversification link package first before you head onto PBN's and such. It works great.
I dont wana say which services Ive used so it doesnt seem like I'm promoting anything. If you really want to know, you can just PM me.
SEO isn't dead and I really don't know why that topic even comes up. From my experience, it's a little difficult and frustrating to get started on this as there are many different areas/categories that you need to understand before you start making money. I've kept up with SEO for years and understood it before I really took action. Obviously you learn on the way and through experience, thats where most of your knowledge will come from. You will fail a few times, and thats okay. Just know that if you can generate $1 a day, you can generate $1000 a day.
I don't think this game is for everyone. You really have to put in some serious time in the beginning. It does get addicting after you really start making money though.
Anyways I don't have a lot of time to check and post on here since I've been travelling back and forth from Asia often but I'll try my best to keep everyone updated and to provide advice.
Good luck everyone.
