Why? Because I'm on this forum, and people on this forum can't make that much? It tends to range in the 15-23 range. I'm not here to provide proof of what I make tho, I could give a shit really. Join the list of haters
Strategy/structure, well fuck I could sit here all day talking about how I rank my sites. I'll just post a bit to give intelligence to the noobs or for those whom don't know wtf's going on.
First:
The websites must be 100% fucking perfect, flawless and beautiful. IMO, if you can't design websites and you suck @ graphics, you better get to the outsourcing or fucking quit. I've personally never used a wordpress theme or template kit. Sometimes (but rarely), I'll do a search for logo psd's and modify them for my sites. All my content is done by myself, I do not outsource them to third world countries or people whom merely copy and spin the shit out of them and all them unique. So part of my strategy is to (A) Design an attractive site, (B) Write my own 100% unique articles that flow into the H1 and title tags. Make sure the site has proper alt tags, and I keep my density between 0.5 and 1.0%. I usually put 1-2 authority links (Pr4+) outgoing on all my pages (relevant). Make sure your site includes a sitemap.html, sitemap.xml and I usually also include alot of social triggers (twitter, facebook, and similar sites = usually 5 per site). I usually rank just a few desired pages, yet create 50+ internal pages (500 words+) of random propaganda or related discussions to show google "I care about the community". I see to many people with piece of shit websites, wordpress sites with no navigation etc.. ................Maybe this is why my site didn't have a penalty the other day (See the list of these goons who probably have this site here:

Step 2:
Once you have a legit site, it's "pretty" (I do have an internal belief that once you start getting traffic maybe managers at google will check the sites manually and if looks like crap or is to small = your fucked), with all the additional shit necessary as explained above, just buy links. My strategy does not include buying xrumer or blog comments, I tend to stay away from those. I don't go out and buy $2,000 annual links on PR7's, or any other bullshit link offers (usually found on digitalpoint, etc). I do try and low ball those fuckers tho (PR7s cant have a domain authority of 20/100 on seomoz, lol). My strategy includes just buying link packages; I then get those packages and submit them to lindexed + blast them on a 200k aa list through scrapebox. I can usually get a site listed in the top 2-4 positions in a month, maybe two max. I use diversity in my link building as well (not all one keyword, target similar variations = username danke is a fag, username danke sucks dick, etc). So targeting one keyword is never a good thing when thinking of strategy. Remember; after buying the packages tho building multiple tiers (to backlink your backlinks) is a good thing.
