If you continue down this route, promise me to come back a year from now and read this thread and comment on what you've learned since.
The goal, currently, is to get one simple site ranked for one search for a clickbank product. Keeping it as simple as possible, and not aiming for too much profit. Just want the experience of building a site and ranking it for a simple search, and if I can do this, then I'll go work on a bigger site and try to get multiple terms.
The first site I built I bought a shitty link package for. It got up to position 70 or so, and then plummeted shortly after.
This time, I'm doing it right, and building a PBN, and being extremely careful with my links.
Currently, I've got a 9 site PBN, which I spent about 700 dollars on, ranging from PR 0 to PR 6. Dunno if PR matters anymore but it had value at some point so it can't hurt.
I've sent 5 links to the site so far, and bought a Syndwire package for social links, and I'm not yet in the top 200 results.
PBN setup is basically this:
- Change all contact info (Registrar, cPanel, on-site)
- Put wordpress on each domain
- Make homepage, About Us page, Contact Us page
- Add 3-5 relevant articles (Some spun, some original)
- Imbed videos and images and links to other authorities
All domains are indexed.
Any ideas? Got a budget of about 1000 dollars left.
