Bankruptcy to Millionaire

So Adam commented that he thought I had given up on my blog. That all I was posting was American Idol bullshit.

Yes, it was complete and total bullshit. But there was a little method to my madness. And I bet many of you caught on to exactly what I was doing.

But, to Adam, if you think this blog is sunk, and now totally worthless (which is probably is. But I don’t give a fuck.) , feel free to visit wealthstore.com (as requested you do by Adam) and pass your own judgement as to who’s site is worth more.

I’ll tell you why I post 5 goddamned American Idol posts in a second. But first a brief comment on Wealth Store.

I went to the site, and immediately realized why Adam, was perplexed with the American Idol posts. That blog gets in my estimation exactly 0 natural search results a month.

Now let me be clear, B2M also got approximately 0 search results per month as well (actually more like 15, but most of those were probably my friends searching my name “Tevin Anderson”). And since I have no real purpose for this blog other than to document my success, failures, and what I’m learning.

Now I am NO SEO. I am an SEO retard actually. If you’re looking to make money online with SEO you need to be reading Vic, Court, and Grizz’s Blogs.

So I found out something kind of interesting. My posts on B2M were indexed in less than an hour in the search engines. So I wanted to try and capitalize and see if I could get natural traffic, that converts on an affiliate offer. Now since I didn’t have a high PR site that I could perform this experiment on other than B2M. That’s what I did.

Fuck it. Call it selling out if you like. I had some very interesting results.

I decided each post would be keyword focused. I would put a text link early on for an affiliate offer. Then I put an affiliate offer banner at the bottom of each post. The offer was an email submit for american idol season finale tix.

So the good news first. In the two days that I posted the posts, I got over 1000 unique search visitors. And I am getting roughly 80 a day after the event.

I was ranking on the first page for search terms like “songs sang on american idol gives back” or “songs on american idol gives back”, etc. They were long tails, but still getting tons of traffic (at least by this blogs standards).

I got about 8 clicks on the ads, and no opt ins. If it were pay per click (adsense), it would be great, because I would actually have made money. haha

I did all of this without any link building, so I can only imagine what a BMD run will do for something like this. I can’t wait to take what I’ve learned and apply it to a BANS site.

If I can take this info, and use it to rank for long tail keywords that actually convert. woooo…. I can only imagine.

Anyhow, if you were confused by the american idol posts. And you didn’t get what was going on. Now I hope you do.

Cheers all.

Ok… so I didn’t do much SEO. But I did want to try an experiement.

I’ve never went for the “natural” traffic route for the blog. I used social networking, like SU, EC, EIEIO, and other acornyms.

But I never chose a keyword for a post, and tried to rank for it. Yesterday was my first attempt at that, I posted a blog about Stumbleupon DoFollow . One of my main intents for the entire post was to see if I could get that post listed in google for the search term “Stumbleupon DoFollow”. Sure enough, I look today, and I’m position 1.

It even sent 4 visitors to my blog today alone. A massive success. Not at all. It’s not my intention to grow this blog to epic preportions at the moment. I’m just using it to figure out exactly how to get ranked for a chosen term. And I’m learning a little more everyday.

I have a couple more tricks up my sleeve that I want to try soon with SEO to my affiliate programs that will actually make money.

Until then, I’m going to keep link building, keep testing and keep trying. Lets see what happens.

Maybe if I start getting enough natural search traffic, I’ll place a little adsense on this blog strickly for search traffic. Grizz says he’s making $100 a day from his blogger blog on make money online. If I can get 1/10th of Grizz’s search traffic and adsense revenue. I would be a very happy man.

Also note: This blog no features DoFollow comments. Please feel free to use any anchor text you desire. Just contribute something damnit. Don’t spam me, or I will hunt you down and turn off your modem.

So I just found out that Stumbleupon dofollow is now in action. If you check your grid layout you’ll notice that all of the links are anchored and do follow. With some work, you might be able to get some great anchored links from some high PR profiles.

If you are interested in exchanging stumbles for your SEO. Please add me as a friend (Use your stumble toolbar, I “discovered” this blog, and add me as a friend, and send me a personal message, and I’ll make sure to add you as my friend as well). I have a PR 3 Stumbleblog, which means PR3 anchored dofollow links.

Sweet? Yea… I’d say so.

I’ve been working on building my links for some niche blogs using squidoo, hubpages, and now SU. I don’t have my article submission software quite yet, and I plan on buying BANS and Bookmarking Demon ASAP. My goal is to have all the awesome tools Vic recommends at bloggerunleashed.com

Until then I’m going to keep getting links the old fashioned way. One by one. Also to note: this blog is now also do follow. Feel free to leave your comments with anchored text. But don’t spam me. I will send your ass to asikmet.

I suggest everyone uses their stumbleupon dofollow links while they last. Start building your profile, and your authority. Who knows if this is gonna last… stumbleupon dofollow

Ok, I’ve taken to some niche blogging and SEO techniques.

I’m going to try some keywords sniping for a couple of my sites to see if I can eventually rank well in the search engines for specific terms. To be honest, I have no idea what I’m doing, and furthermore, I have no interest in actually making money from my SEO trials.

I’m just doing it to see if I can achieve some sort of high SERPS for my given terms. Right now I’m trying to rent movies online and I am also looking for info on shih tzu training .

If you are not reading these blogs. And you are trying to make money online using SEO. You are probably not actually making any money online. Vic, Court, and Grizz cut through the crap and actually give real world, PROFITABLE INFORMATION. They’re not into nickle and diming you for shitty ebooks. They’re not looking to get your money. They know that giving good info to people that actually take the time to listen and learn, will eventually come back to them 10 fold.

These are by far the best blogs I’ve come by. And quite frankly, have cleared my RSS of almost every other blog, that aren’t these. So if you’ve been scammed by ebooks, or similar products, and really want to make money online. These guys will show you how to get started today.

Ok guys here it goes:

I haven’t been blogging on a regular schedule for a long time. And it’s not because I’ve gone away from trying to make money (and lots of it, in just a short time). It’s actually quite the opposite. I’ve been building sites, trying ideas, learning new things. Growing.

And in this process, I’ve learned something. The internet is full of shit. It’s full of tons of worthless garbage, liars, posers, and down right dumb shit.

So, now fuck it. This is my website, and I’m going to run it my way, not the way everyone things a damn blog should be run. That means, I’m going to use big boy words. I’m going to vent, and I’m going to be more me than I ever was before.

It also means, I’m going to be taking down the ads, when I started this blog I got so damn wrapped up in my stats. How many visitors I was getting, my feed readers, my click throughs on my ads, my adsense crap.

UGH! I’m done with that. I’m only going to concentrate on things that make REAL MONEY. This site has never made real money. So I’m not hear to please anybody but myself any more. If I make progress, or learn new things. I am going to talk about them here. I hope to share everything I learn in a more open fashion now.

I don’t claim to make money online. I don’t claim to be an internet marketing genius. I am just a sponge willing to learn. And want a place to share my growth. So today, the ads come down. The traffic building techniques come down. The tone changes.

Today marks the day of a new B2M. Take it or leave it.
