After my great experience with Web Properties(including 2.0) in the last few months, I have decided to share the results of my experiment. The so called experiment has landed me over 23 Page 1 Keywords from my pool of sites already. Ranking time ranges from within 1 week to about a month plus depending on the competition. My first experiment was on a domain I registered back in August 2010. I didn't have any content on this domain and as such i didn't promote it.
After my first 3 days of promotion, I was already on page 1 number #7 on g00gle.com , # 4 on g00gle.ca and number #11 on g00gle.co.uk. Seriously, it was my fastest ranking ever for a one page site, so I was expecting a serious Google dance. For about 2 weeks the rankings were unstable. But after those 2 weeks, all the keywords have since stuck on page 1 ranging from #4-9.
I ran the same test on brand new domains, aged domains with PR, aged domains with no PR, and results have been similar but with different turnaround time.
Using my first site as a study case, here is exactly what I did :
STEP 1:
Keyword Research :
Using GoogleKeyword Tool, I researched 10 highly searched keywords in my niche. (Exact monthly searches was from 8K to 49k and Competition(in quotes) was from 200K to 12M)
STEP 2 :
Article Writing :
For my articles, I didn't follow the conventional way of just using the target keyword a couple times within the articles. I divided my 10 keywords into 2 groups. I grouped the first 5 most related keywords and then the second 5 most related keywords.
If my group 1 keywords were A, B, C, D, E. I told my writers to write an article about A but to also make use of all the rest Keywords in the group which A belongs(i.e B, C, D, E) in the first 2 paragraph of their writing for A. After the first 2 paragraphs, they can continue to use keyword A a few more times(perhaps once in each paragraph).
If the topic they are writing about would be C, I told them to use in the first 2 paragraphs of article C the rest keywords in C's group(A,B,D,E), and then use C a couple times in the following paragraphs. This way, I have my 5 keywords in every article. On day 1, I post one article on my money site, record my ranking and go to the next step.
STEP 3 :
Promotion :
I sign up for account at all possible web 2.0 sites...Article, Video, Blog, Social Bookmarking, PR, Document sharing sites e.t.c.
1. Out of my list of 10 keywords, I pick the first keyword to promote(I start with the least competition). I write 2 unique articles about it(using the conventional way).
2 . I spin the first article, and submit it to the article sites. In the articles, I provide a single link back to my money site. Once i have some articles approved, same day or next, I spin the second article and submit it to blog sites, Doc sites, and PR sites. Wherever possible, using the anchor text I am currently promoting, I will point a link at random to one of my approved articles and another to my money site.(RANDOM IS THE KEY HERE).
3. Once all the linking is done, I bookmark all of the created properties so far. Depending on my motivation/aggressiveness, I usually have a couple 10's to 100's of solid properties at this stage. This will be my 3rd to 5th day of promotion and it is time to take some rest and check my rankings again.
Usually, there will be some improvement already but at this stage, i really do not care. Also at this stage, if it is my 3rd day, I will post another article to my money site from the 10 articles we wrote in the beginning. What i like most about this is that as soon as i click the post button, my posts get indexed
4. I take all my created links so far and blast a couple thousand blog comments to them. I use all my 10 keywords as anchor for the blast. Quantity of the blast totally depends on my level of competition.
5. I take all the links including the blast, and index them. I use a BHW member(deki33) tool called, Bulk Indexer to convert all my urls into html and rss feed and then upload them to one of my non occupied domains. 60-80% of my links get spidered in about 2 weeks(Also depends on the volume of the links).
6. While my links continue to index, I will post 1 article(from the original 10) every 2-3 days to my money site.
7. At the end of the first week, I am either on page 1 or have moved up a huge position. If at the end of the second week, I am not in the first 5 pages, I will repeat the process again.
STEP 4 :
Software or Outsourcing?
For my case study site, I made my own imacros script that does the sign ups and up to 60% of the submission. I have trained staff using the scripts and they just complete whatever was uncompleted by the script. If you do not have people you work with, you can outsource this by buying various relevant services or softwares you deem fit.
This process has never failed me. I am about that point now that I can probably tell from a keyword and its competition how many repetitive promotions it will need until i see a desirable ranking.
IMPROVEMENT :
Since this has proven to be really effective, I now have my own custom software, fully operational with several web properties and platforms on it. I am constantly updating and adding new properties whenever I discover one.
You don?t need an EMD domain to see great results. Like i mentioned earlier, I have tried this on a variety of domains, EMD, some keyword in domain, no keyword in domain e.t.c and results have been similar but with different turnaround time.
If you find this useful, pass it on. And If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.
To Your Success!
