Bankruptcy to Millionaire

I’m starting to realize I should have spent a lot more time developing a link farm. I don’t have access to anything authority sites or blogs.

It’s 5 am. My eyes are tired. But I’m not motived to do real work even on SEO and PPC by Tevin.

Speaking of twitter. You can follow me at www.twitter.com/tevin

I don’t update here often, and as far as I’m aware, at the moment I have near zero readers. And that’s fine by me. I haven’t given up my goal, in fact I’m doing quite a bit. But as this blog doesn’t actually make any money, I don’t see a whole lot of reason to continue to update it regularly when I haven’t made any major breakthroughs. However, I do get a chance to try some SEO with this blog, because it does home SOME google authority.

So when I have ideas (such as the American Idol posts a while back, I can try them here without starting a whole new website. Which google doesn’t give much weight to) I just try them out here. I wanted to try ranking in google for “Traffic Secrets Review” with this blog. Not becuase I expect to sell a ton of Traffic Secrets courses, but I do like to try new ways of gaining search traffic, for my other sites. (Right now, I think I have about a dozen or so sites online)

So, now here’s where the confusion comes in. I wrote the article a few days ago, and I check the next day, it’s indexed on page 3 of google. “So Far So Good” I think. Now I just need to build some links to it, and maybe do a BMD run, and see where that gets me. So I put a “Traffic Secrets Review” blogroll link on about 3 of my blogs. Left a couple of comments linking directly to the article, and didn’t even do a BMD run.

So pretty natural, and not spammy at all. Then I wrote one more article with the purpose of getting more keyword authority, and then linking to the original article. Giving the article (with my affiliate link) more link juice.

I check the next day. DEINDEXED! What the fuck? This has happened to me before, I had instant indexing, and the next day I’m deindexed. But I hadn’t done any link building. So once I built some links, the article got reindexed.

But this time is different. This time my traffic secrets article got deindexed AFTER link building. But maybe it’s just not ENOUGH links? Maybe with this article and a BMD run, maybe I’ll get reindexed? IDK, I’ll report after I find out.

***sometimes google just baffles me***

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.
