See, I'm glad I put it up now cos from what people are saying I am a 'late bloomer' and I want to better ascertain what has caused this.
I have been at it for 6 months now since the beginning of the year. I'm definitely making progress but from what people are saying alot slower than the norm.
I was over at warriorforum for the 1st 3 months chasing red herrings so maybe you could say I've only REALLY been doing IM for 3 months as this forum is where I really started to learn how to manipulate the serps (then again others say they made money way before this time).
I have gradually been weeding out one thing after another...
I have been doing just what ppl say on here (though obv. not everything since I haven't made money yet)- AMR, xrumer, web2.0, SB, yet my best result so far is position 11 for a 1k exact and reading from others this is an insignificant feat.
So perhaps people might offer other thoughts on what may be the issue.
I have been coming to think the main thing might be lack of consistency in linkbuilding but part of that issue is because I didn't know where to get links from on a consistent basis cos with things like web2.0s and AMR those links have very quick diminishing returns and are pretty much one shot deals right?
I got xrumer blasts however indexing was a problem with those which is what has been my latest point of focus...in the past week I have setup 10 shwps, and 2 web 2 instances of backlink energizer. Results seems pretty promising so I'm currently thinking that will cover that.
So when people say 'keep building links' what is your main workhorse to do that given the above that many things are only one shot deals? I'm moving back to scrapebox now cos looking back it seems to be the one that is so versatile that you can keep building links indefinitely.
The other thing that springs to mind is having picked a competitive niche but even in this case people say they can get results relatively smoothly with the advice on these forums. In terms of bad keyword selection I outsourced that to someone on the warriorforum on recommendation from -what I took to be- non biased others deliberately at the time so I could be relatively confident that area would be handled.
So I don't have any ego about it I just wanna learn the trade

so there is the bones of it. Maybe kind others more successful than myself might help try to ascertain what may be the issue/s.
This is definitely my 'calling' so I am gonna stick at it till I am successful so it's only a matter of time.
Thoughts?
