Hey Everyone,
Quick post here with an update and also a proposal for a possible JV.
First the UPDATE:
So links are still coming into YSE like crazy. I'm up another 1,000 since earlier. Now sitting at 9,760 back links. My rankings I think are starting to stabilize a little bit. Will still have to monitor over a few days and weeks, but my gut is telling me that unless I start adding more content, I've taken two 500 word articles about as far as I can, which is actually pretty damn far in my opinion.
I do have more content coming tomorrow from my writer. This will be the second part of my experiment. Tracking growth with both big time blasting and steady site updates with 100% unique high quality content.
Traffic is still pretty lame, but again, this is really just because of a lack of content. No matter how many links you have, you just aren't going to have the traffic if your site is very thin.
Now for a possible JV:
This is an open invite for you all to PM me or post follow up questions to the JV in the thread for me to answer.
My idea is to run another open experiment here on BHW. This time though, I want to work with someone who can help me create a site that had thousands of pages. Obviously this will have to be through automation some how. I'm not looking for the typical autoblog set up. That I could do on my own. I'm looking for someone who has some PHP/MySQL skills to help me design a Google Trends powered website. I did this once before several years ago but ran into one issue that I think with a second programmer I could over come. I might be able to over come it now, but I just haven't looked at it in a while.
I have hosting, can get a domain, and obviously build back links like a bat out of hell. What I would want in a JV partner is someone who also has the following:
- PHP/MySQL Skills
- Apache Config
- Htaccess, clean dynamic URL's experience
- Solid Understanding of On-Page SEO
- XML, dynamic sitemap creation experience
- Photoshop skills a HUGE plus
This person has to also commit to making progress reports in a thread similar to this one. Obviously we wouldn't give a way the site it's self, but my goal remains to share case studies and answer questions to give back to the BHW community.
I want someone who has enough time to dedicate at least 10 hours a week to this project. I will be dedicating an equal amount of time. I think that if done properly, this thing would blow up. I mean seriously blow up.
If you contact me, please share your thoughts, provide an example or two of your PHP coding skills, and tell me a little bit about yourself.
**I WILL NOT RESPOND TO ONE LINE PM's!**
I have the tools, the skills, and the hardware to blow this thing up. I just need a second brain with some solid coding skills and a strong grasp of on-page SEO. Prefer someone who is US based (anyone in Seattle?), but will consider anywhere. You must speak English fluently. If we can't communicate, it will not work.
That's it. Questions, post them in the thread for all to learn. If you are interested, PM me directly. I seriously believe this is a $10k+ a month idea. Maybe more.
