Hi Kimi
I have quite a lot of experience at microniche sites, but thought I'd follow your guide anyway!
On 21st june I registered my UK emd domain. GKT says 1300 UK exact matches. 22,000 broad match
I wrote the homepage and did what you said - over 1000 words (normally i do less than 500)
I followed your advice in using keyword in title, description, H1, bold in 3rd paragraph, italic in 3rd.
I actually want more than 2 images but have used keyword in two of them as specified.
I have written 5 pages for the site so far. Most pages have around 500 words.
I have created three web 2's using original content (webgarden, weebly, tumbr). The web2's are keyword.weebly.com etc
Each web 2 has 500 words of original content, one relevant image and one relevant video.
Each web 2 has one link from the first paragraph to the money site using exact keyword or very close.
I used a trial of GSA and NOHands to send some links to the web 2's.
I have not yet added adsense or Amazon to the site.
Today 11 days after launch I am position 13 for my exact match search term.
Need to go back to the guide and see what I still haven't done.
Will create some more web 2's and then look at how I ought to link to them
Thanks so far... will keep you posted!
