Im back a day early with some results we have seen.
Current rankings for the site and the internal page on G for the targeted keywords(close variations of each other):
Keyword1 (intitle results - 251,000/ or 3.9million results)
keyword2 (intitle results - 252,000/ or 966k results)
Keyword1
root (partial match to keyword targeted) = pos 115
targeted internal page (partial match to keyword targeted)= pos NA/not in top1k
Keyword2
root (partial match) = pos 37
targeted internal page (exact match) = pos 406
Keyword1
root (partial match to keyword targeted) = pos 115
targeted internal page (partial match to keyword targeted)= pos NA/not in top1k
root - 113
targeted internal page = still dancing in the 300's - 400's, was ranking nowhere in the top 1k before.
Keyword2
root (partial match) = pos 37
targeted internal page (exact match) = pos 406
root = pos 33
targeted internal page = 350's now and again is still dancing a bit. also i would like to note in fairness that this ranking:
targeted internal page (exact match) = pos 406 was a temporary flash, after i made the initial post, later that day i checked again and it was no where to be found in the top 1k until just a day ago.
I would like to add also the site is only 3 months old in a rather established niche.
How tough is the compeition?
The competition we are up against for our terms are home depot, lowes, target. ect. It took around $700 in high end links(quality incontent links ect.) to take pos 1 for another keyword with the same/similar competition with that site. The average commission per sale for the site is $150+ and does several sales a month from 20-30uv/day, we have over 30 more keywords approx that have the same/similar and higher production potential.
After we did the initial project for the above two terms in my first post we ran 30 web 2.0's to the root url that we had another productive keyword dancing between pos 12-10 and blasted those with their blog comments. We are currently in pos 9 and less than 20% of the web 2.0 links have been indexed. While running BLG to the site for both pages targeted(root & internal page) i made sure no other links were being picked up for approx a week prior and havent had any other links getting indexed since, other than BLG links.
My evaluation:
Will this help your rankings? yes.
Considering the results we have been seeing from BLG, I definately recommend this to any SEO aff marketer. Would i build an entire link profile using BLG? ... probably not due to the limited link lists (as a footprint would eventually be left behind if used over and over to the same page and/or keywords), which they are currently working on. However, also using BLG to your heavy hitting tier one links will drastically reduce your spending and time while beefing them up, we already have been seeing results with that on another site as well.
Overall I feel BLG is great value for the money spent on it and is a good addition/asset to our overall seo planning.
Im looking forward to targeting our less competitive long tails and a few local seo sites/terms, im sure BLG will kick some ass for those niches/keywords with no additional link building than what we have already done. I will leave more updates as we go.
Cheers!
