Hey everyone,
I've been reading a lot and dabbling a little with various IM stuff for a couple of years now. I've made probably a few hundred dollars but have always had so much info going through my head I've always been thinking rather than doing. I came across Eli's blog and then Wickedfire a couple of months ago and since then things have started to change. My new mantra is DO IT FUCKING NOW!
Anyway, to try to combat the information overload I've tried to write out a plan of what I am going to do. I've already started doing this, made a little cash and have a couple of hundred pages indexed.
I'm not a big poster on forums (as you can see by comparing my join date to my post count!) but I wanted to post this to try to get some feedback on whether I am heading down the right track. This is all based around Eli's awesome SEO Empire posts. I've discarded all the other crap I have accumulated in my head and just tried to focus on implementing this model.
I've really tried to stop myself from doing absolutely everything at the start and instead just focus on a couple of techniques. I figure once I have things established then I can introduce some other techniques like Link Laundering Sites and some PPC.
Goals:
1) $100/day by June 08
2) $300/day by Jan 09
Tier 1: Cycle Sites
I'm using cycle sites for a bit of revenue but also for the links that I will redirect to my DB sites to get as many pages indexed as possible. I'm chasing quantity rather than quality of links. I've managed to bumble my way through automating the creation of cycle sites. I've tested different layouts, plug ins, adsense placements etc and now have a model that is working reasonably well for me. Here is the plan:
1) Create a first batch of 100 cycle sites (mostly on subdomains)
2) Let them run for three weeks
3) Remove first batch and replace them with some relevant content and adsense
4) Create second batch of 100 cycle sites
5) Let them run for three weeks
6) Remove second batch and replace them with some relevant content and adsense
7) Redirect first batch to DB sites to aid in indexing
8) Rinse and repeat
Tier 2: DB Sites
My BD sites will be used of course to generate revenue but also to provide link power to my money sites. I've completed three database sites using free databases I have found online. I have around 100,000 pages uploaded but only about 200 pages indexed. I'm only running adsense on these pages at the moment and have done zero link building except redirecting a few cycle sites to them. Link building is next on my agenda and my goal is to just get as many pages indexed as possible. This is my link building plan:
1) Use "script footprinting" to locate directories running common directory scripts and automate the submission process (I have this working already)
2) Deep linking using mulitple accounts across multiple social bookmarking sites (need to automate but I should be able to work it out)
3) Parasite hosting anywhere that offers free subdomain hosting to deep link for indexing purposes
4) Deep linking using Black Hole Seo
I'll also be uploading 100,000 pages per week. My big question here is where to get databases from. Should I just purchase them? Scrape them? Buy something like the Yellow Pages Scraper perhaps? Any thoughts or tips on this would be appreciated.
Tier 3: Money Sites
To be honest this is where I have put the least amount of thought and energy. I figured that I should concentrate on building a solid network (that still generates good revenue) first before worrying about the money sites too much. Anyone have any thoughts on this? Should I be building these at the same time as well? Are affiliate landing page sites the best option here?
Thanks for taking the time to read this big ass post (assuming you haven't just skipped to this part
).
Any thoughts, feedback or help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
