Driving Traffic To New Blog Day Eight

May 8, 2008

May 8 (Day 8)

Ok, today it’s one of those days, not really in the mood to be honest, wasn’t feeling too well yesterday any hows and motivation is a bit shot.

* Started at 3:41pm
* Created more Articles
* Signed up to socialmarkers list of sites, pretty much wasted my time.
* Submitted again to Onlywire’s service, not so time consuming as the latter.
* Traffic received before starting, 71 visits.
* Finished for the day, traffic received 45 visits
* Finished for the day - time spent on project 2 hours 49 minutes

One thing I have noticed is the Alexa Rank jumped another 89,413 positions to 520,737, which is cool. :) So we’re almost there to reach our target of 350,000 within 4 weeks. And we hit our 100 visitor mark yesterday and today already. All within one week for a total of 516 visits.

Traffic received so far

No adsense clicks today, oh hum, not to worry.

ALL of the blogs articles are now FULLY indexed as of this morning. And approx 7% or so of the sites I got link backs from are showing up in google.
It’ll probably take a little while for all of these other 100+ backlinks received so far start to take affect. And prolly around 1-2 more weeks before I start seeing some search engine traffic.

Next week we’re gonna start doing the hard core stuff, not only are we going to receive more traffic, but we’re going to optimize EVERY single one of our pages through Offpage SEO. And I’ll show you what mistakes the people make in the hope that if there are any Novice - Intermediate SEO’ers here don’t make them. ;)

Ok, In-content Linking. I didn’t get many people replying back to the post the other day which leaves me to only assume that not many people know and what the logic is behind in-content linking.

In-content linking is the process in which a keyword is found on your page that is hyperlinked to another page that is related to that keyword.
In other words, it’s a anchor text link. The HTML code A is the Anchor, href is the hyper text reference. In-content Linking is the most powerful form of ONPAGE SEO there is.

ie.

<a href=”http://www.somedomain.com/”>Your Keyword Phrase</a>

The logic behind in-content linking is to create a semantically related theme structure, some professional search engine optimizers refer to them as “Theme Vectoring”.
Personally. I think “Semantically theme vector structures” is a better name, sounds a bit more flash too. :)

A semantically theme vector structure is the process where you hyper link a keyword to another page / document that is relevant giving it a point of reference to material that could further increase user experience. Take a look at wikipedia for a better example. ;)

The term user experience I think of it as helping the visitor expand on their current skill set so they walk away with more knowledge. In fact it’s been this way before search engines were being used. People were linking up keywords, or any ole word to another page that was deemed relevant by the webmaster.

As these links are made from website A, to Website A’s 2nd page, then to someone elses page, and so on and so on, creates a huge line of references and as each time a link like this is found, the original article builds more and more weight helping it rank even higher.

So starting next week, we’re going to do the same thing, we’re not going to do what 99% of the others do out there, we’re going to create articles, create the pages, hyperlink up keywords to our blog pages, and link up other pages to these 3rd party sites that we work on in the coming weeks. As we start working on helping these other pages rank higher and gain a page rank, the better it will be for our blog which will absorb the PR. PR is not going to help us rank, but it will help our pages get indexed quicker. It can be argued that PR does help you rank but I have proven many times over in my Video Guide To Profit videos that PR means diddly in the terms of search engine ranking since I’m outranking PR3-6 websites on a PR0 page.

Ok, so I’m gonna leave it there for now, but next week guys, gals, get ready to do some work, ok? And watch what happens. :)
results will vary from person to person based on how well the content is made and what type of keywords you are aiming for.

So, until then, have a great evening everyone.

I’m off to watch some DVD’s for a few hours and munch on some popcorn :)

I’m not going to bother to ask anyone Digg the posts, since not many of the readers do. I guess those who aren’t Digging don’t appreciate the posts. :( Oh hum. C’est La Vie.

All the best

Driving Traffic To New Blog Day Seven

May 7, 2008

May 7 (Day 7)

Hey everyone,

Hmm, what do you want to hear first? Traffic, Pages indexed or Adsense? :)

Hmm, let’s start with the traffic.

Below shows an image of yesterday’s traffic, which doesn’t seem to have gone up much. But today, before starting this case study, we’re at 72 visitors already. So that’s a good sign.

Traffic received so far

Pages indexed so far. 4 more pages were indexed yesterday or early today, so I think the feedburner made a huge difference when I altered the setting to show all the posts being made on the new blog while submitting the feedburner feed URL out to over 120 RSS Feeds using RSS SUBMIT. I could of used Google Alerts to paste in the URL of the post in the Alert to see when it gets indexed, or when other sites link to it. But in all honesty, I’m not really bothered about that kinda stuff. I know where and how to get traffic and how to get my pages indexed FAST.

As I say yesterday, it takes about a week to get a fully indexed blog if it’s a totally new domain. We’re 3 more pages from being fully indexed. However it is possible to get a new domain indexed within 24 hours, but the problem you may notice, is one minute it’s there, the next, it’s not. That’s google for you. It would appear that it takes your urls, processes them, removes them for further analysis, then once finished, fully indexes your site based on where you get your links from, and how fast it indexes your pages on how regular the content is.

Ok, the good bit. Adsense earnings. Before starting I logged in to my Adsense Business Account (my 2nd account) and noticed something, not a shock really, but was surprised that the methods I use to get high paying clicks still works, well, not really surprised, I know my methodology to get high paying clicks makes sense that I show to my Video Guide To Profit members, but surprised to the stability of these clicks and regularity of how high they are. With all this nonsense going on saying how Google is in trouble, stock prices are coming down, Adword Costs per click are going up, traffic from adwords is going down, and all that jazz, Adsense publishers complaining not getting the clicks they once were, or not getting high paying clicks and automatically assume that Google is not a choice that people would rather have to monitize their websites and find other alternatives like Adbrite, Yahoo Beta Ads, etc.

Ok, I admit, Google is a bit of a dark horse and working them out is bloody hard at best of times. But after some thought when I sign off for the day (when I think better relaxing) Google in fact is getting a lot stronger than some take for notice.

In fact all this stuff going on is really good news for Adsense publishers. And these images below is a testimony of that.

Adsense Earnings Sofar

Today, I made $6.29. That’s an average of $2.09 a CLICK! Yeah-baby! How ya like those Apples? :) Who said Adsense was dead.
Oh, BTW. I made one modification to my Blog yesterday after finishing. I added a 768×90 banner across the top of each post. I think this made a HUGE difference. Whether it will stay consistant, only time will tell and what type of effort we put into place.

Below shows the total, $9.08, via 6 clicks, an average of $1.51 per click. Not bad eh? And we’ve only just started. How many people struggle to make that in a week, or a month? I’m by far from gloating here. But more to show you that these methods I use day in, day out, WORK!

Adsense Earnings Sofar

Guys, Gals, listen. A lot of people fail because they don’t stick to a plan. I hope that when you see these case studies over the course of the next 11 more weeks, you’ll see what can actually be made from one website / blog IF we stick to our guns and have a plan. This is one of the reasons why I am doing this case study to show / help you all that if you have a plan, follow what I have laid out here, which I could easily sell for $997.00 for the course, you’ll make a lot of money. I guarantee it. I guarantee that it works if the plan is followed, not just for one day, or one week, or one month, but ALL THE TIME!

Now, some people ask how can I do this with 500+ other websites when it’s clearly shown that I am putting in about 1/4 - 1/3 of a day into one website. Automation Baby! :) That’s where SEO Website Builder Pro comes into play.

For about 2 years now I have had a script that does the main automation, but they were separate scripts. SEO Website Builder Pro that launches in the coming months puts all these factors I use into a user friendly, manageable way of doing things plus it has some other bells and wistles in place as well that we’re currently testing out. And you know what? All I do is spend probably no more than 90 minutes a day creating articles and feed them into the script to do what it does best; getting traffic and optimizing the site at the same time with onpage and offpage SEO. :) Life is sweet! :)

If you want to join the SEO Website Builder Pro prelaunch list, see that big blue image to your right, click that to be taken to SEO Website Builder Pro and join the pre-launch list. :)

Ok, now let’s get to work.

May 7 (Day 7)

* Started at 4:38pm
* Visitors received before starting 72
* Preparing more articles for article directories.
* Submitted blog TLD (top level domain, ie, somedomain.com) and 1 article page to Social Bookmarking sites
* Submitted blog to 8 more forums using the search function explained in Blog Case Study Day 4
* Traffic Received after finishing for the day, 20 more.
* Finished for the day - Time spent 4 hours 22 minutes.

So, recap.

Keyword Research with Keyword Elite. We entered the main seed keyword, a very broad term and run a list of around 10,000 keywords with it using Google Suggestion Tool, Freekeywords WT, Yahoo and Ask.

We then filtered out those keywords based on any crap we found, or keywords that are way way too long and kept ones that are around 1 - 6 phrased words in length.
Then we ran project 2 to find those high paying clicks.

I would show you the formula that I use to get these high paying clicks, but it’s unfair to provide those for free since Video Guide To Profit members paid to see that stuff, plus some other tips. I’m not pluggin Video Guide To Profits, and I know it’s expensive for some at $127.00 soon to rise to $167.00. So I’ve made some more videos in another product launch called Adsense Igniter (VGTP members get those for free as soon as I get a chance to upload 750MB worth of videos, around 40 more) which is much less and more of a compacted course, however it doesn’t show you how to build sites, create graphics, onpage and offpage advanced seo.

So how do we find those high paying niches? We’re basically looking for high paying professions, services or products. I generally get a lot of my ideas when adverts come on the TV and jot them down, and run those through Keyword Elite.

Then we start using Instant Article Wizard, or Instant Article Wizard Pro 2.20. They are both desktop versions, but the pro version takes the sentences and constructs the paragraphs for you on the fly and all you have to do is choose which one you want. Both are great tools. But the pro version is just a little bit quicker.

After we installed our blog, or found a free template to add to our normal website, we start adding these articles one a day for the time being.

Once we’ve done that, we then start creating a RSS feed, if you’re not using a blog, or use the blog’s rss feed and submit these out to RSS Feed directories, and also used Feedburner services as well, if you’re not using feed burner then you are missing out. We also signed up to Technorati as well so the pings we make do us some good.

Next we submit our blog, or our main website and over the days the article page urls as well to social bookmarking sites doing or best to ensure that the descriptions we use are mostly unique, this is where Instant Article Wizard or Instant Article Wizard Pro comes in, we can use snippets from those we haven’t used before (note: make sure that your settings are set to remove the choosen snippet first).

While we are doing that, we’re hunting for forums, as shown in Day 4 using special search functions to find forums. Again we use the snippets from our SAVED projects, yup, don’t forget to save those projects when you use IAW. They come in handy for later.

to add to the list we’re also submitting to link directories as well, DAILY! Directory Submitter FULL is a great tool, and has over 3000 link directories to use, and over 1600 of them are reciprocal FREE directories.

Whilst all the above is going on, we’re also creating extra articles to prepare to send to article directories later in the week.

But it doesn’t stop there. We haven’t even got to the other areas yet. In fact not even half of the sources I use.

As the days go by, you need to really pay close attention. I’ll even draw up a flow chart of what we are doing as things start to get difficult, and they will be made in a gradual progression as we do things rather than giving you one large flow chart that’s hard to follow. This way you can see what’s going on and the steps we take before it starts looking like Piccadilly Underground Train station map…lol

So, until then, stay tuned. :)

BTW, thanks to those who took the time to join up to Digg and Digg these articles, it’s most appreciated. But sad to see that over 98% of the readers here don’t even use Digg, gawd knows why, it only takes 2 minutes to join the place, and less than 30 seconds to digg it.

All the best

Driving Traffic To New Blog Day Four

May 2, 2008

Hey everyone,

Well, it’s another one of those days, motivation is, well, hardly non-existent. Things are so much easier when they’re automated. ;)

Any way I’m gonna call it short for the day bit busy with other stuff that I need to take care of.

2nd May (Day 4)

* Started at 8:14am
* Submitted to another page to Onlywire
* searched for more social bookmarking sites
* Submitted blog to more 27 link directories
* Created more article snippets for forum replies
* Got 9 forum back links, and some on .edu domains. ;)
* Traffic received before starting 15 visits
* Adsense earned so far for May 1st (Day 3) $2.22
* Traffic received after finishing for the day 43 visits
* Finished for the day - time spent on project 2 hours 21 minutes

Recap.

As you can see, this is pretty much all we do to get traffic and do offpage SEO.
Locate Social Bookmarking sites and post your page, one a day or every other day and take note of those you submitted to.
Find Forums and blogs and submit comments and or article snippets.
Obviously there’s a lot more yet that I haven’t even mentioned of, we’ll get to those towards the end of next week.

So, so far, April Unique Visitor Count for 29th & 30th April = 47. May 1st & 2nd = 104. We’ve almost tripled our visitor count. :) And averaging 1.61 visitors / visit.

Traffic received so far

Above image shows this morning before starting.

No adsense clicks yet. But here’s yesterday’s total

Adsense Earnings So far

Here’s a little tip before I go so you can follow me as I do this.

“Your keyword” “powered by wordpress” site:.edu
“Your keyword ” “powered by vBulletin” site:.edu
“Your keyword” “powered by wordpress” site:.edu
“Your keyword ” “powered by vBulletin” site:.edu

Use the above, I’ve only done the vbulletin boards today, 10 so far and 4 of them has a PR4 on the TOPIC itself. Take some time to check the PR on the forum and then find an OLD post, and or an old thread that has been updated and just say thanks for the info, or what ever, but don’t forget to put your signature file in your profile area first before posting.
I anticipate that by the end of these 30 days, my potential PR will be PR3-5. If I kept at it for 60-90 days, PR5 shouldn’t be a problem. ;)

Here’s another tip, ready? you’re gonna love this.

site:edu
site:gov

site:edu blog “your keyword”
site:gov blog “your keyword”

Who needs Dmoz when you can get links this way? ;)

K, that’s it for now, off to work I go and update my forum for these free MLB Picks.

See ya all tomorrow.

All the best

Driving Traffic To New Blog Day Three

May 1, 2008

Hi Everyone.

Ok, I wasn’t really in the mood today, rather slow day.

Recap for yesterday:

April unique visitors = 47. Number of visits 66. 1.4 visits / visitor
April 29th 12 Visits. The next day, April 30th, Visits almost quadrupled with 45 visits.

The 66 visitors noted here in the picture below are ALSO taking note of the visitor count on April 22nd, 23rd, and 26th. These can be
ignored as I was testing out the new Wordpress 2.5.1 installation. But these will be included since the results will not be
skewed by that much since there were online 9 visits during that time.

Traffic received so far

Couple of notes: Onlywire.com, not as good as it once were, all sites used to work, but now: Blogmemes, Blue Dot, Excites, Linkroll, Looklater, ma.gnolia, Rawsugar, Shadows, unalog and xilinus are now social bookmarking sites that don’t load, or site hasn’t been renewed, or no longer receiving sign ups, or have some really weird login requirements. So that left with 12 out of 22 that could be posted to. Wasted almost 45 minutes here and this is what put me off my motivation - I get like that…lol Any way, 12 sites is 12 sites I guess. Tomorrow is another day.

Forums: Entered two special search function in google to find forums related to the keywords I want to rank for and drive free traffic to the blog and hopefully earn some adsense money. During signing up I used Website Content wizard to create variations of a signature file with anchor text linking not only to my top level blog domain, but the posts that have been made so far. Then I used Instant Article Wizard Pro to run a search for a term used in the forum post that I am about to quote, and link up the keyword in text found with instant article wizard to my LTD (Top level Domain, ie, somedomain.com ) and the posts already published automatically using the Wordpress Auto-post scheduler.

Since most phpbb forums only allow 255 chars in signature file, I had to pull out Microsoft word and work out how many chars i could fit in the forum sig file. What I decided I would do is make sure that every forum post has at least my top level domain added in the sig, while alternating the previously published pages in the sig’s so there always 2 links there. While adding 4 of my links of posts already made to my blog about personal loans in some other posts since some forums didn’t allow a sig.

1st May (Day 3)

* Started at 9:54am
* Submit Blog to 37 Link Directories (most time consuming), then had to confirm some listings, 1 hour time spent overall.
* Submitted Top level domain to 12 Social Bookmarking websites (most time consuming). Using Only Wire. 10 Sites out of 22 were down.
* Submitted blog to 9 forums quoting replies asking about a particular keyword related topic. (most time consuming) using a special search engine command to find forums.
* Traffic received before starting 9 visits.
* Traffic received after finishing for the day - 33 visits.
* Finished for the day - Time spent on project 3 hours 58 minutes.

The Good News is that today wasn’t a complete waste of time. Below is what I earned from ONE CLICK!

I had to take out the other details due to Google TOS. $1.58 from one click… not bad eh? ;) Anyone care to Guestimate what the total income will be in 4 weeks from now for a day’s earnings? :)

Make your comments, guestimates below. :)

See you all tomorrow.

All the best
