Why Most Sites Never Make Much Money in SEO

Honestly, there absolutely nothing special about this post. Long stuff, and you didn't share anything which hasn't been shared here a hundred times before.

You are a PBN seller, so no surprise that you promote "quality" PBN at the end of your post.
Maybe you'll manage to get 2-3 new clients as a result of this write up, which is likely your goal anyway :).

I could write here a long post about the flaws of your strategy, and why it doesn't make sense for a variety of SEO projects (and perhaps can make sense for some, but the minority, not the majority or all like you promote here), but you didn't open this thread for discussion anyway so won't bother with that...
 
Great post. Got one qyestion for you, though. How long on average do your new sites stay in the sandbox? Got a 3 month old domain with hq content (30k words) and properly researched keywords that's only ranking for 3 keywords in position 100ish.

I've done a couple of guest posts to it over that period and have been dripfeeding socials.

Been only dealing with expired domains, so this is kinda strange for me.

There isn't really a "sandbox" as such. I'm not a believer that new sites are treated any differently than old sites.

It's just that new sites don't have any juice, and they don't have any topical relevancy.

There's definitely something wrong with your site if you're only ranking for 3 keywords after 3 months.

Jr.Executive VIP contender surely :D

The coffee in JrVIP is better. I'm happy here :)

@splishsplash I'm not into SEO but I've seen some of your posts and love the way you think. There's some pure gold you're sharing on here for those who wanna go big. When I'm in UK again please allow me to get you a nice bottle of wine or something lol.

Sure, drop me a message when you're in the country.

What exactly does it mean "2-3 to the homepage"?

2-3 links to the homepage.

I apologize if this information has already been multiple times before, but I don't recall seeing anyone talk about on-page optimization properly, and I almost never see anyone do it right.

I'd love to hear your piece describing all the flaws of this strategy, and why it doesn't make sense for SEO.

My network is currently full. I'm not looking for 2-3 signups, but thanks for the random attack on my business. Did I do something to offend you? Anyway, I'm looking forward to you taking apart my strategies. And FYI, I actually get the majority of my clients through fb advertising, not bhw. You may have noticed no one is running my banners here.

And I've in fact just removed my banner. I'll put it back on in a week or 2. So let's focus on the flaws in my strategy now, and less on my services.
 
Great points on content creation, also I witnessed articles with short paragraphs ranking well compared to lengthy paragraphs. Any thought on the readability?
 
Add 5-15 good contextual links per month. 2-5 the first 2-3 months, then 5-8 month 3-6, then from month 6, anything from 5 to 15 per month for as long as your site is alive. Don't ever stop adding links.

Use pbns to get your site up there and earning. Don't rely on them. Add 4-5 good pbn links per month for 6 months, then switch over to guest posts.

How much should we expect to pay for this kind of linkbuilding?

And additionally, here's some recent screenshots where I've actually applied the things I write about.

And the search vol is visible there. No bullshit "10 search vol" stuff here.

This was before and after fixing the on-page.

Here's another one on the same site. Different page.

From nowhere, to position #12 after 2 weeks after fixing the on-page. 880 search vol.

I don't just pull things out of my ass to write to get views. I write because I spend all day every day ranking sites so I have an overflowing of information to share.

I'm still eagerly awaiting your critique of my strategies.

It doesn't help ranking, no. But readability is great for any content you make.

How much should we expect to pay for this kind of linkbuilding?

Nothing.

Using services generally isn't going to rank you.

Learn to build your own pbns, acquire domain names and do your own guest posting, then hire staff to do it.

I am doing exactly the mistakes your pin-pointed. Focusing too much on content and not hitting the PBN/linkbuilding trigger fearing google. Consequently, site is sitting on bottom of page 1 for most kws and making pennies.

But PBN might also damage site's value and chances during flipping. Am I right?

No, it doesn't actually.

If you have 100's of pbn links it will, but not if you've got quality pbns.

Here's Greg Elfrink from Empire Flippers giving a presentation about selling digital assets.


In the first 10-12 mins he talks about selling sites with pbns and how they don't affect it that much.

They'll reduce the sale price by 5-15% depending on the pbns and how many you have, but I'd rather sell a site for $180k that I built up to $5k/mo in 15 months vs a site that took me 3 years to build up, and I get $220k for it. What about you?

This is also why I say don't do more than 30 pbn links for most sites. If you've got 30 pbn links, and 100 guest posts, then a whole bunch of other links in there, your pbn link profile isn't going to be significant.

thanks so much for the informations, i want to ask about internal links
Internal Links
  • Why/What? Super important and I see about 1 in 20 people actually doing it right. IF that. You should have virtual silos setup(unless your entire site is just 1 topic), and be linking around to other articles within that virtual silo. Link more to important pages and use aggressive anchors. 80-90% should be targeted anchors. One with "best toaster", one with "best toasters", another with "toaster reviews", another with "the best toasters", another with "we reviewed the best toasters" and so on. Don't be afraid to re-use "best toasters" 2-3 times though. You won't get penalized unless you go crazy and create dozens of articles all with the same exact anchor linking to your article. Even then, I don't know HOW aggressive you'd have to go to hurt your site with internal links. I've never seen anyone do it.

when the best time we should do internal link?
is it good make internal link when article just posted? Or wait the arctile got indexed and then put the internal link?
 
pretty well insight, its really help me as a beginner in SEO
 
Love your post, but as long as Google decides to rank useless .edu sites spammed with spun content and some random pinterest and other social signal sites over legit websites, it is not accurate at this moment. I hope Google will update their algo soon and make real relevant websites with quality content rank again.
