Yeah Herbs, I recommend not using Scrapebox. There are specific uses for it, you need to be careful.

Stick to wheels, bookmarks, profiles, directory submits, and manual commenting and you'll be fine.

And what DanWesson said about having another level of buffer is a very good recommendation

I want scrapebox for a few reasons.

1) It finds high PR blogs, I could find high PR blogs. And manually post, not spam.

2) Spamming blogs with comments but w/o a "real site" I could find auto approved blogs etc.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, site went up the SERPs by 1 from 14 to 13.
 


Don't forget to disconnect you from your Google Account when you check manually the SERPs. Could sound evident but I know many people who forget that.

Keep the good work. :)
 
Just a little insight. Writing articles is a grind, and leaves you not wanting to work on your own site haha.

Just know that within 2 weeks I'll start updating again, once I get some capital haha.

Im going to list what happened to my site after the $5 service I ordered.

Original Position: 13 --> 20 --> 28 -->20 --> 16 --> 17

So it actually went down in the SERPs, but I'm concerned, and its probably my fault. As I have done anything to it for 2 weeks or so. I should be link building right now, but grinding for cash instead.

Anyways, just letting you know Im still here.
 
Good stuff man, keep the updates coming. I'm actually about to start a few of these sites, so this is good stuff. Is your domain the KW you are trying to rank for?

I thought I'd just leave this here:

-3 word keyword domain URL. No hyphens.
-10K monthly searches
-Wordpress +all in one seo pack, google sitemaps, seo friendly permalink structures and 1 keyword dense article and a generick theme.

-1 bookmarking package from wickedfire members lalit_burma, 1 package from Red_Virus

In less than 3 weeks I'm in position 7 for the keyword. All white hat.

Don't overthink it : )

Nice! How many exact match search results does your KW have?

Ok, so for a little more info of what I am doing:

My keyword I am targetting: According to google keyword tool, gets 590 monthly searches, and 500 exact searches. It has 338,000 results on google.
So, pretty small and seems like an easy keyword to rank for.

500 a MONTH? dude, not enough traffic. Look for something with at least 3000 searches a month and less then 500k competing pages for a phrase search (with quotes). If you can get one with < 100k results, even better...

Yah, I know its patheticly small, I'm going to target a few keywords that should get me ranking for a total of 3k searches.
 
Holy FUCKING SHIT. 4 Exams in one week + writing content + plus playing COD more than usual left no time to work on my site.

Ah but I'm soon to be done writing content. Never again, I don't think. Next time I'll just go work at Mcdicks. Not worth it, maybe its cause I write slowly because I actually research and my rates are low 1$ 100 words. If i charged more it'd be worth it, and I'd actually make like 10 bucks an hour, but right now I'm at like $5 if im lucky. Fuck it, I'll get a menial brainless job next time, much easier than writing. Atleast I built up some capital for my ventures haha. /rant

Ok, now my site stopped dancing. Its been holding steady at#12 for my keyword. Not much to say. Back to writing =(
 
Have you considered doing some keyword research and targeting other related keywords too?

I generally have 10-15 or even more related keywords within my niches. Each is a low hanging fruit for longtail keywords and as others have said, juggling more verticals per niche, the better.

In regards to those diagrams, the general idea is that you have Web 2.0 properties pointing to your main and inner pages, then you'd send all your mass comment spammed links to the Web 2.0 properties to launder the links; thus passing value up to your money site.

Each property would use your keywords. So, Amazing Blue Widgets would point to your Amazing Blue Widgets on your website. You'd have been using Amazing Blue Widgets in the name for your comments, so those Web 2.0 properties would be building authority for that keyword, and then that keyword would pass from the links in your Web 2.0 property to your money site.

Bam! You should now be ranking higher than those Web 2.0 properties in your keyword SERPs AND dominate the entire first page.

I do have a few other keywords in mind. But as of now I want to focus on one keyword (lol 500 searches lol). I mean my opposition for the top 3 position looks kinda weak, but I want to take it slowly. After that I might branch out to other keywords. Overall, extremely inefficient, should be targetting way more long tails, but eh.

In regards to web 2.0 properties, thanks for the advice! Its something I need to do some more research on, so any advice helps.

Cheers!
 
Just wanted to say I've read this whole thing, great for beginners and as you advance I'm sure if will help me and other beginners as well. Great idea to log everything from the "noob stage"!

The best research you can do is purchase a Web 2.0 package from someone on the board and then dissect what they did. There are a bunch of guys doing it for very cheap here, get a simple $25 run done and then look at what they did and you'll figure it out.
 
I didn't give up. I had exams and other bullshit in my personal life that left me with little time to do anything for my site. Now that its summer, I have more time to focus on this and get shit going, with my SEO efforts.

I have selected a few more keywords, as going for one keyword with 480 exact searches a month is fucking sad, and I want atleast 2k total search volume a month, so I get a few hits to my site atleast.

Basically I figured out my SEO plan:

New page for each keyword I'm going for: ie. gaysex.com

This obviously is so I can optimize each page for the specific keyword. I am going to get social bookmarking slowly for each of my keywords. As getting a shit ton of bookmarks to the same root domain could constitute a sandbox.

For each keyword:

1. Social Bookmarking

2. Blog commenting

3. Web 2.0 with sexy diagrams I will draw in paint

From now on updates will mostly consist of what I did to further my SERP efforts, and an excel pic with all my rankings.

ie.

Keyword 1 -- Monthly Searches -- Position

Expect consistent updates every 2-3 days.

hey man great journal you got going here. I'm in the same position you're in, noob just starting out, but it's great seeing your progression.

For the love of fuck no. don't do that. put your exact keyword in your title tag, h1 tag, meta description, and get an exact match keyword, and you're fine.

Don't analyze keyword density any more, just keep building and tracking. If you're worried about the effects of .5% differences, you already lost the game.



^^^^Go do that 10 times and you'll get quite the crash course in how to effectively build niche sites^^^^^

In fact, I'm about to case study this exact same topic using nearly the exact same methods. so feel free to follow along with that if you need to as well

I have printed this out. As this thread shows, one of the biggest challenges is not over complicating things and staying with it. Thanks.
 
I wrote the content for my two new keywords. And the rest 2-3 hours I screwed around with h1 tags. Its a fucking pain in the ass.

@dchuk I know why my site, dropped from 13 to 53, because I edited the header (which I thought didn't edit the h1 tags), I thought the all in one Seo "title" was the h1 tag (which it wasnt).

Anyways, I edited the header back to contain my original keyword, and since I submitted new content (which automatically pings) my site was crawled and put back at 13th.

But then I realized that my header only contained my first keyword, and not my second, and putting it up on my header would make no sense to the person visiting my site.

So I found shit that changes your h1 tag, but not your header. Anyone needing to do that - H1 Hack for WordPress Pages | Get WordPressed

But yah, hope I didn't mess up anywhere. I'm going to see how my ranking for that keyword is for tomorrow, if it stays at 13 means shit isn't fucked, if it dropped again, that means I messed up somewhere with tags.

Overall got so little done in so long, but it just goes to show how important onsite seo is, especially the h1 tag, arguably the most important onsite seo factor.

More tomorrow.
