SEO is free: Have you tried doing this?

[silveraden]

I tried and I succeed.....

Last April I started selling clickbank products and I did a small experiment. Since I don't want to spend money on PPC (I am not used to spend money on advertising and promotion), I decided to do it all free..

Here's what I did:

>> I picked a CB product with a very high competitive keyword (around 2M search volume per month)...

>> I posted a review of this product on my blog. The review has 18 tags (highly competitive keywords)

>> I started posting in social bookmarks and forums (around 200 total posts) directing to this page...

>> Sales started to come but those are only from visitors who found my link on forums and social bookmarks - I wasn't satisfied.

>> I created 50 blogs at blogger.com and interlinked each blog.

>> I started writing reviews for this product on those 50 blogs. The reviews I made mostly in 2 to 3 paragraphs with one keyword (each review) pointing to the main review page (my blog). I made different reviews for all those keywords on tags of my main product article. I made countless reviews with hyperlinked keywords.

>> The main review page on my blog (as the beneficiary of all those reviews) was easily moving it's position on google and hit the 3rd place on 1st page this month (with the main keyword)

>> This page alone is making 5 to 8 sales per day... 1 sale = $32 commission...

What do you think of this process... Do you think it is good? I don't consider it spamming because the reviews I posted on this 50 blogs are all sensible and useful...

I never spent any penny (of course blogger is free) and in addition, I earned more than $300 from these 50 blogs since I started doing it (purpose is for backlinks and not for adsense)... not a big amount but the main point here is the ranking of my main review page... which got PR 2 in latest PR update... some of those blogs got PR1 and 2 too...

Have you tried doing this?

Sounds Good! Yes it's very true that now strategies of Google has been changed a lot and got more rigid than before. It's not so easy to achieve and keep holding high ranking position of your site against a moderate competitive keywords. But still posting unique contents in Blogs and then social bookmarking them is obviously a great idea!

 

[Jahnavi]

what you trying for can you share with me in searching to implement new in my site also .

 

[Technaut]

Is this any differrent than using articles or Q&A sites to post info about your website? Does google frown upon article marketing in this way?

 

[Menzess]

Yeah very good technique & your progress is good.Congrats.Try other methods of internet marketing to boost your selling.

 

[aja72]

It is best for affiliate marketing. :lol:

Good method for short term profit, however Google usually detects the link farm and you get sand boxed. However, I cannot deny if you take the time to set this up properly there are huge profits to be made in the short run.

You should have avoided instensive backlinking from so much blogspot blogs, wait till Google finds out that all the blogs belong to you and after that they will ban your blogs as well maybe your adsense etc account, deindex your site etc etc. I think it is better keeping away from black hat techniques like these. In the short run you will make profit no doubt but it will spoil your impression in front of Google for your whole Cyber-life

Congrats mate. I also tried SEO.

I had fun doing this thing. I enjoy learning things about it at Forums. I also tried blogging and promoting my blogs to related niche sites.

You can also earn money through SEO. I knew some country used to call it as a Profession.

Keep Learning! Good Luck to us! :hehe:

I have a project where I have 1 major domain, and create a site a day (with a different domain, same hosting provider) that links to it.

Its like... a main site that is a web design company and hundreds of sites that are webdesign by the web design company advising who created the site.

Is this considered a link farm? I'm not intending to generate pagerank/SEO/link farms. It just works well when I tell my viewers who made the site. I would hate to be blacklisted by a google robot without being able to explain what I'm doing.

I think you will be alright.

Web design companies have been putting a little "Designed by XXX Web Design" link on their clients pages for years without any problems. I guess as long as what you're doing is innocent (and it sounds like it is) you should be fine.

As for the opening posters SEO strategy.... I don't like it. From a web surfers point of view we dont need 50 blog posts written by the same person that we have to sift through to find what we want - and thats the whole reason why Google has to have systems that try to catch this kind of behaviour. Even if all the blog posts are different, they would all have the same point of view - which brings nothing new and useful to a web surfer.

Stay on Googles good side by having an 'innocent' SEO strategy and I think you will see gradual, but more consistent and better results over the longer term.

Yeah you're right. It's not free anymore.

Hi! I'm a newbie and I'm trying to learn everything I can before I get started, so I reading a lot lately.. I heard before about this:

>> I created 50 blogs at blogger.com and interlinked each blog.

>> I started writing reviews for this product on those 50 blogs. The reviews I made mostly in 2 to 3 paragraphs with one keyword (each review) pointing to the main review page (my blog). I made different reviews for all those keywords on tags of my main product article. I made countless reviews with hyperlinked keywords.

But what worries me is:

In the short run you will make profit no doubt but it will spoil your impression in front of Google for your whole Cyber-life

It's a bit scaring, but I don't really get it. So, if I backlink like that, could I be 'banned' from google for the rest of my cyber-lfe? How could it be? someone explain, please..

It's not you personally thats going to get banned from google, it will be your domain name and your website's IP address that would be affected. I don't think it would be for life, but any amount of hurt caused to your site's reputation in google is going to be bad for business as long as it lasts.

 

[SEOjmci]

wow, thatz hard work, anyway nice to hear your story!
btw, I have an question to ask, is your main blog page still on PR 2 ?

 

[Dirky47]

creating 50 blogs at the same emails looks spammy be careful in doing this kind of blogging. Be sure to have quality contents.

Sounds like a lot of busy work really signing up for the different blogs, etc.
Reviews could be busy work too seeing how you made each review customized.
But if it worked for you, congrats!
