Time for another journey! I have been actively doing more IM. Currently making an authority site HERE which is going surprisingly well. It's time to add another method to my IM portfolio and make a micro-niche site.

The Keyword:

  • 6000 searches a month
  • 9 out of 100 competition level
  • Top three results are two blog posts and a forum post
The Site:
  • Exact match domain
  • All content written by me.
  • Wordpress optimized with Yoast plugin.
Monetization:
  • CPA
  • Pay Per Call
  • Email List
Lets get started! I'm building the site now. My authority journey usually gets a nice weekly update. This journey will be getting a daily update as I suspect it will progress a lot faster.
 
i'm more interested in knowing how many articles you are going to add and what you do to make it #1. would you care to explain :)
 
Good luck for you journey mate.
 
awesome stuff buddy - glad to see you're trying something a little different.

Day 1
Ranking: N/A
Traffic: 0
Clicks: 0
Revenue: $0

What I did today: Registered the exact match domain. Set up hosting. Installed wordpress. I wrote the best 1300 word article of my life today. I used LSI for the subheaders, got the keyword density right where it needs to be, and the article has a very clear call to action. Also set up a second page that is going to be packed with CPA offers. Finally I bought the Jack Sparrow V5 SEO package. Maybe it's to early for linkbuilding. I don't care. If anyone has ever wondered if these packages work, we're about to find out. This is on a fresh domain.

I don't care about getting flagged for spam. This is a smash and grab operation and more of a case study than anything. I have an authority site journey that is all about slow and steady growth. This is a race to the top. I'll be buying some PBN posts next week as well to give me a nice kick.

Still need to finish the second page of the site and set up a contact page. This is gonna be a big money maker if I can rank #1 for this keyword. I think I will. I've never tried to rank something with such low competition score (9 out of 100 is crazy low) so I think I'll be good to go.

Site is indexed but currently unranked. Hoping this will change in the next 24 hours.
 
Day 2
Ranking: N/A
Traffic: 0
Clicks: 0
Revenue: $0

What I did today:

  • Made around 15 web 2.0 pages with related keywords and submitted them to BacklinkIndexer.
  • Purchased a 25 post PBN package from the marketplace
  • Wrote another 1000 words on the site and stuffed them with targeted CPA offers. Waiting for my affiliate manager to contact me back with approval.
  • Installed analytics and linked to GWT
  • Added site to my ahrefs dashboard to track backlinks
That's all the backlinking I'll be doing now until I get the rankings settled down. I'm really targeting this one major keyword and I think if I can rank #1 for it I will be sitting in some good daily cash. Ranking for this keyword is my primary focus and the ultimate purpose of this site and journey.

I think between the Jack Sparrow link package and the PBN, I should be able to crack myself through the SERPs and land somewhere up towards the top. Once I start to get ranked and I'm making $$$ from the site, I will reinvest in PBN and diversity links until I get to the top.

The site is still unranked completely. I think as soon as the links start getting indexed I will get some positions working for me.


A word about the CPA offers. My users are part of a group of people who will most likely fill out more than one CPA offer. From start to finish, if they follow my guide on the site, they will have made me about $80 in commission at a max per person. There is one CPA that converts for a free trial for around $30, three more lead submits for between $4 and $8, and a pay per call offer for $10 and a final CPA for $15. All the offers can be used together which makes this site have such great earning potential!

All suggestions welcome! We can make this a journey together and if you guys want me to try specific SEO tactics I will and report back.
 
Day 3
Nothing to report today. Still waiting for site to establish rankings.
 
Will watch your thread and hoping to learn something from this. I have a request... can u pleaae change the color of your texts? Because its hurting my eyes. Lol
 
I'm interested on this method. Good Luck!! Don't you think is too early, to send backlinks before it ranks to any kw?
 
continue updating frequently. It's a great motivation boost!

Guess we'll find out! I think it'll be fun to see what happens. It's not like I can't target this keyword if/when this site gets hammered by big G. I have a feeling manual actions are more exaggerated here than anywhere else. With that being said, I know it can happen and it will be cool to see what the effect of these packages are.

continue updating frequently. It's a great motivation boost!

Thanks!
 
Day 4
Still nothing to report today. Still waiting for site to establish rankings.
 
you're doing well, good luck to you :)
 
Do you think it is risky building PBN links on a fresh website?

I will be keeping a close eye on this. Your other thread is very successful so i'm sure you will achieve a similar result with this project. Best of luck!
