My second try with more experience

issorc said:

I build them manually I don't know a good spinner for my language so I write all content by myself and just write some random "I put every detail of my life on a blog but no one cares" posts. I change the design and set up a profile picture and a header picture. That's all I do and I hope that's enough

Got another tumblr and wordpress ready, but it takes some time to do everything manually. Will try to get at least 20 handmade web 2.0 on at least 5 different platforms before I start to increase their tier 2 posts.

Didn't know how to find a good expired wordpress so I had to create a new one without any linking power, so the tier 2 will be important.


Thank you

Ok mate ! I see you putting lots of work into this... Good job man.
There are some tools that could help build web 2.0 profiles which I think you should be doing the task with them, Since these are based on web 2.0 creation...Directories and PR submissions.

I suggest you should be exhausting yourself in finding related niches with good metrics for White-hat link building process.....(Tier 1) - Manual

'Expired Wordpress" or prolly you want to talk about about expired domain" ?

There are many Tuts here on how to do that ...

But a little Tip :

Goto any expireddomain directory site... eg expireddomains.net

Sort by deleted.com/net since these are TLDs.

Filter out with "Only Alphabets" .com/.net only

Sort by BL (Backlinks)

Don't go with domains with 800+ BL as they are mostly spammed to death.

Hover to the next page and look for domains with less that 500BL

Pick one that looks attractive to you.

Hover to Majestic.com and Check for TF AND CF ( 20+) is great. PS: Sadly, There has been little dropped in TF according of MOZ latest update. But you can always proceed>

Check back-links if it's clean...I don't have say much on this..instinct will judge

Check for Anchor text diversity ... Homepage Anchors is good.

Next..Move to Moz Explorer and check for Domain PA and DA... Spam Score... Less than 4 is great.

....You want to use 'way Back machine" to check the history of the website . If looks spammy you don't want to buy.

Finally... You want to check on google if still indexed using string Siteomain.com

If indexed fine... If not ! Just registered and Set up with Search Engines webmaster Tools.

At first, thanks for the long and detailed description and guide!

I'll keep on creating those web 2.0 manually as most of the time I spend writing the content and that's nothing a tool could take it's hands on. These web 2.0 will get blasted with web 2.0 that will be automatically created, so I'll use tools/services that use tools there.

At the moment I'm not planning to build a PBN as I first want to lay out some link foundation. If I see that my rankings rise and I need some extra power I might start building a PBN but right now I don't wanna invest a lot more money to build a pbn. I'll keep on creating 5-10 web 2.0s each week from now on (hope I'll find the time to do this) and build links to them.

Good Luck mate

So I was struggling to find enough time to create all those web 2.0 from hand. That's not only boring but time consuming. So I decided to go with someone who will create those blogs for me and outsource it. The quality might not even be worse (or if it is not that much) than my blogs. I'll wait 'til they are delivered and then start to build the second tier for them. Once thats done I'll see what happens and adjust my strategy. Will post again once I have all these blogs.

Nothing to big to report here. I bought some links from other services and wait for them to get created. They'll be dripped over the next few weeks so let's see what happens.

Just to keep track of everything, here are my current rankings:


The three keywords with 27.100 are basically the same so I guess Google groups their search volume together.

I have to spend a lot of my spare time learning for the university so I don't find a lot of time to work on this.
Got a designer to create a new webdesign for the page because it currently looks awful. I hope I can rank pretty good with the links that will be build and after they'll be build I will see how it works out and maybe invest some more money.

Stay tuned for the next updates

Another update on the rankings:



Things are progressing good so far. Will most likely switch to serplab this day. The webdesign I received for the site is awesome, but I still need to code it. That will take another week or two as I don't have too much time. But without any serious traffic, my conversion rate doesn't matter anyway so it's okay.

Traffic hasn't increased yet, but one of the two visitors I had yesterday bought one of my targeted products which landed me a nice commission of 16,75€. Hope that traffic will increase soon and I'll get a few more sales!

Can't edit the last post anymore, but here it is:



Damn, that feels so good. I hope to be able to continue on this path and make 1-2 more sales till december.

Here are current rankings:



Let's see how this journey continues

It's been another month and not too many things happend. Had to spend a lot of time learning for the University and spend some great time with my girlfriend. Made ~50€ yet in December and November didn't hit another sale. I guess my anchor profile is fucked up once again, found some really crappy exact match links while reviewing my link profile that hasn't been build by me nor the service I bought. Maybe that was a bad ass move of some of my competitors, because the competition is increasing day by day. The sites now ranking top 3 are other sites than the sites that were top 3 back when I started the site. 2 of this sites now really obviously are using a PBN, so I guess it'll be tough to outrank them. As my current rankings stay on the second to third page due to my anchor and link problems, I don't care too much about that yet actually.

I'll try to find time the next few days to take a full link audit and disavow the worst links. Currently running low on linkbuilding with only a few blog comments a day to diversify. Will try to speed my linkbuilding up in the beginning of 2017.

Made my first 67€ so far with this website, that's below the investment of money and time made, but I'm actually quite happy about it. Learned great new stuff regarding on- and off-page seo and I'm pretty sure that with each journey my knowledge improves. If the site is able to make 1000€ in 2017 I'd be fine with that. The 50€ in December yet showed me that this is more than possible. Let's do this!

Seems like I'm kinda stuck in those "one in a month" updates, but at least there are some. I decided to give my projects names as it'll be easier to refer to them. The site that already made 60 bucks will be project "gaming" as it is, surprise, in the gaming niche.

I'm still working on finishing the full new content and design for project "gaming" as I want to fully relaunch the site with better content and a more user friendly interface. I'm still believing in the potential of this niche. I guess I hopefully disavowed all negative links that have been build and will start to make a new and adapted link building plan when I relaunch. I hope to relaunch until the 1st of March but can't guarantee it as I'm currently writing exams.

Although I need to learn and work and not even really find the time to care about project "gaming", I launched another project. We'll call this project "mass long tails" and you'll see why once I'll reveal more about this project. It's been launched a few days ago and was more like a test and has something to do with auto posting. First posts were indexed this night and until now (12:38 am) I had 9 unique visitors of which 4 clicked through to amazon. I'll update in the next few days how this site evolves, because I guess that's a project that shows some nice instant results and is interesting.

I actually don't know if someone even reads this journey as it is boring as fuck as I neither had huge success nor updated this regularly. But it's at least nice for me to keep some time track of things that happened and maybe one day I'll hit some success and will have more exciting things to share.

I'm reading! Keep posting, keep working and keep up with the updates!

Thanks mate! That's some good motivation to keep updating

Project "mass long tails" got another 4 visitors and 2 clicks to amazon in the last 30 minutes which is really awesome. Hopefully tomorrow will be even better as I hope that Google will index a few more pages till then. Will definitely update with new stats and figures!

The start for project "mass long tails" was great today with 4 clicks to Amazon by 9 UV so I'm gonna post a small update. Found out that because of my minify css plugin the design was broken if you weren't viewing the site as admin. Luckily got that fixed. After having 13 UV and 6 clicks to Amazon my click through rate dropped, so I do now have 8 clicks by 27 UV. Although I'm more than happy with 27 UV at this point of the journey (first day with content indexed), the Click Trough Rate is something I definitely have to take care of. I'm not expecting any sales out of 8 clicks so I'll most likely be back with new figures tomorrow evening. Will try to add a bit more content this evening as I would like to reach the 75 UV/day mark 'til the weekend.

I hoped that Google would index a few more of my posts after I did send them to an Indexing Service yesterday evening. Sadly there are still some which are not indexed which will lower my chances to break yesterdays UV, but overall I'm pretty optimistic. Yesterday I had 9 UV and 4 clicks at 12:38 AM, now it's 8:36 AM in my local time and I already had 7 UV and 3 clicks. The next three weeks all I'll focus on is adding content as I try to hit long tails that are able to rank without any link building. For some articles this won't work so some of the articles will most likely never get traffic. After the next three weeks I'll analyze which articles get the most traffic and only build links to those and hopefully I can hold or even increase my amount of traffic then.

Additionally I got a few more clicks to Amazon yesterday so I ended the day with 12 clicks and one sale. I started making niche sites in march last year and it took me until November to hit my first sale as I was doing a lot of shit so it's nice to have a site that actually made it's first sale on the first day with content indexed. Product was only worth a bit more than 16 Euro and should get a commission rate of 7% so I should get around 1,15 Euro.

Stats 09.01.2017:
UV: 38 (from the country I target, Google actually send me some Croatian and American Traffic but I won't count that)
Amazon Clicks: 12
Sales: 1
Income (Estimated): 1,15€

Overall Stats:
UV: 38
Amazon Clicks: 12
Sales: 1
Income (Estimated): 1,15€

I already thought about some tweaks in the Design and article setup to increase my CTR to Amazon, I'll add this later in the day. Have to learn as I'm writing a test exam tomorrow that gives bonus points for the real exam if you pass it

Nice, the first earnings from a site give a good morale boost, even if it's 1.15E you know that what you are doing is right.

Here we go, update time once again. I'll go with the amount of users that Google Analytics count and the amount of amazon clicks that Jetpack in Wordpress counts. Clicks that Amazon shows are actually higher but I guess with the lower number I have a better chance to really track unique clicks. Google did not really index new articles yesterday that's why I expect the growth to stop for today, hopefully this will pick up pace in the next few days. Made a few more sales so take a look at the stats:

Stats 10.01.2017:
UV: 80
Amazon Clicks: 56
Sales: 4
Income (Estimated): 12.5€

Overall Stats:
UV: 128
Amazon Clicks: 68
Sales: 5
Income (Estimated): 13.69€

Hopefully the next days will be as great as yesterday

That is great progress I would say. From 1.15 to 12.5 in a day is something. Even if you keep making around 12 / day that's 360 / month and IMO that's good.

Good Luck, seems like things are working in right direction now.

Thank you. Had the luck to sell some "high priced" items (60-140$) and I guess I'm still away from creating stable salds. I'll continue to work towards it as I would be really happy about 360€ a month.

Thank you, I hope so

Yesterday the traffic was a small bit lower as the amount of sites I have indexed in Google fluctuates a lot. Going to add more content and social signals now to stabilize it. Click-Through-Rate to Amazon was lower, too.

Stats 11.01.2017:
UV: 75 (-5)
Amazon Clicks: 35 (-21)
Sales: 3
Income (Estimated): 5.29€

Overall Stats:
UV: 203
Amazon Clicks: 103
Sales: 8
Income (Estimated): 18.98€

There are still 19 days left this month and I'm pretty optimistic to reach the 50€ mark. Let's see.

To-Do List for today:
-Add legal pages
-Add new content
-Create social accounts
-Improve meta description to increase Google CTR
