Also don't forget to always look at "searches related" to keyword, Google displays these at the bottom of the page. In your instance I get this

learn english online
english online test
teach english online
english online movies
english games online
irish english online translator
russian english online dictionary
watch johnny english online

I would create articles optimised for these keywords on your site and link back to you homepage using your main anchor text "english online" within the article. Use Wikipedia as an examples of excellent internal linking.

Also create a series of Web 2.0 properties each optimised for one of those keywords and link back to your homepage and bookmark the Web 2.0 properties and you'll get some nice link juice and SERP movement. Also if you'll find the Web 2.0 properties will rank themselves.

So I should create articles optimised for these keywords. Even those like "russian english online dictionary"? And then I should put them on my website (am I understanding it correctly)?

What's Web 2.0 properties and SERP movement? I'm not so good at SEO...

Well you need to use a bit of your own judgement but yes make unique quality articles out of those keywords that google thinks are related to your main keyword, all about building up relevancy.

Web 2.0 Properties are just platforms that allow you to put your own content on, there are 100's of them

So you could set up

learnenglishonline.blogger.com etc

Create some really good content and then make sure you link back to your domain. Then basically you can build lots of links to these properties which in turn will send link juice to your website and also you'll find that they rank themselves

Best tool to use that accurately tells you the real time ranking for your keywords? Example- I want to find out where I rank on 10 different sites for 50 different keywords per site, is there a tool that can do this and be accurate? I've seen some but they are usually off by quite a bit.

Is it better to use web 2.0 properties as opposed to getting keyword domains and posting articles on them?

I have a 12 year old domain (money site) that ranks really well in 3 keywords. I want to rank better for about 10 more, I have a dozen articles for each keyword, and on the money site I have created a page for each keyword, that only links back to one or two pages of my money site. I also have keyword domains all registered over the last 2-3 years but never developed. I was thinking I would develop the sites with wordpress and put the articles on each pointing either at the home page of the money site and/or the keyword page. My keyword domains would be setup at a variety of hosts all over the globe so that won't be an issue (different IP blocks). Then I saw your post on the web 2.0 properties. So should I go my planned route with the keyword domains, or switch gears to the web 2.0 properties? (I have plenty of other aged sites that get crawled regularly so I can put in a link on those to get the spiders to the new keyword sites, so I am not worried about getting indexed).

The next question is should I place all my articles into Wordpress in one shot, so the sites will go live with 10-12 articles each, should I put out one article, wait until the site gets indexed then trickle the other articles one at time every 2-3 days or every 2-3 weeks?

Hey guido.

On the warrior forum, people have told me that when I write articles, that I should put the articles in my site first and then let them get indexed and then distribute the same article to article directories.

Does this increase your rankings? Or does it make any difference not having the article on your website but having them on a number of article directories?

So Web 2.0 properties would be best made on Wordpress.com - okay. I red whole topic once again and have another questions:

1. For each keyword I set up a domain with that keyword?
2. For every property I have to make articles by myself or copy from elsewhere (well, it's not easy to say something about russian english online dictionary ;) )?
3. I should have on each property more than one article, right?
4. Are the properties linking to themselves too?
5. After what time I can measure results?
6. How long it should take to make network of Web 2.0 properties that all of them are linking to main site around which the network is built?

Free advice is often worth what it costs...

If you post an article on your site and another website w/ more authority which one do you think is going to be thrown into the supplemental index and which will rank higher?

Yours will rank lower than the web 2.0 property, doing it the way you mentioned will dilute the rankings.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Also, FYIW... I spend all of my time on PPC and my campaigns net me between 60-140% ROI for the money I spend.

IMO SEO is something you should worry about after your PPC campaigns have been scaled as far as they can go. Reason being, SEO is not a reliable traffic source when acting on its own.

You should always post your best content on your own website, you always want to build up the authority of your own site. I wouldn't then take the content and put on an article, I would get more unique content for the article sites and submit to directories for backlinks and some traffic.

Always get quality content for your own site and build that asset up

6. How long it should take to make network of Web 2.0 properties that all of them are linking to main site around which the network is built?

Basically, create completely unique content for each Web 2.0 property. Content of around 300 - 500 words is fine. Simple include a link within the content back to your main site (with the correct anchor text).

Personally I never link the properties together although many people do.

Bookmark the properties and even if you want heavily link to them.

You will find the Web 2.0 properties will rank and as mentioned you are leeching off the authority they have created and get good link juice and ranking improvement.

Finally, don't rely on Web 2.0 just on their own! Its just 1 method of link building but it definitely does help.

Try press releases, directories, contextual links, etc

Agree, never copy content, put unique content on your website so it gets credit for it and then use unique content for Web 2.0. The web 2.0 will rank themselves, I have a client who has their website on page 1 for a target keyword, plus 5 Web 2.0 properties all linking back to their site, which they get nice traffic from.

Not much experience with PPC but I know some people who swear by it.

SEO can be extremely reliable and an excellent source of traffic, if you know what you are doing you can make big money off SEO.

However, you are at the mercy of Google with SEO and things change very quickly. With PPC always a risk as well accounts get banned etc

Ok I have another question that I probably would be embarrassed to ask but.........

I do not know what a proxy is...
specifically the purpose of using a proxy.
Do they play a role in serps?

I know on the war forum, people say you will always need to have different proxies if you are going to use a software like senuke and etc.

But should you use a proxy if you are going to make only like 10 backlinks a day or 100 links a day using a program like senuke,scrapebox,etc?

I dont know how proxies work, are they free and which are the best ones ?

Using a proxy is a just a way of hiding your identity (IP address) when visiting web sites/scraping data etc.

The reasons to use them are sometimes if you are using automated programs then your IP address gets banned temporarily of even permanently. Also even submitting manual links you can get your IP banned.

If you are using programs such as Scrapebox then you definitely want to use proxies because the IP's burn out quickly because you are scraping so much data.

I have found www.yourprivateproxy.com | Dedicated Private Proxies to be an excellent source of proxies and very reasonably priced

@guido

if you use a program like amr and if you only build 10-15 links a day then do you still need to use a proxy since you arent making a lot of links?

Are free proxys good as well?

Free proxies I have found to be a pain and burn out quickly, have to keep harvesting new ones.

You can always see how you get on with AMR

Say my money page lends itself to not being updated often with content. Since you recommend updating it with unique content, should I create a "blog" section (http ://site. com/blog/my_article) and build my backlink structure more to those articles? Or will it just be fine to link to my main money page, site.com?

Yes its fine the have a static money page, if it is a keyword that receives targeted traffic that converts well, then yes that is great. Of course you need to link to your money page, to get your core keywords ranking.

But remember most of your traffic will come from the long tail. The more content rich you can make your site, there more relevant it will appear to Google and the more traffic you will receive. Build links to your money page, then create supporting pages and build links to them as well.

Yes, they do play a role in the serps. You do not want all your links from one ip. So you use proxies to get around that. Same with registering accounts on sites. You dont want to keep creating accounts under the same ip, so you can use a proxy to get around it. You should also clear you cookies when creating a new account on the same site.

You can use free proxies.

To find some go on google and search...
inurl:"proxylist.txt"
inurl:"proxy_list.txt"
inurl:"proxies.txt"
inurl:"proxy.txt"


Free proxies are fine to scrape with in scrapebox. I would try to avoid using scrapeboxs harvester and find your own source of free proxies. You can add your own source now. When it comes to posting, its better to use private proxies but not a must. Make sure you are using scrapebox correctly and not blasting away like crazy to your main site.

If you are just building 10 backlinks a day. Go on What's My IP Address? Networking Tools & More Then reset your router and refresh the page. You should have a new ip. Again, if you are creating an account clear cookies and cache.

resetting your browser should be irrelevant. You wouldn't be making more than one link at the same site, unless you are doing some serious spamming or making really crappy links. If thats the case you have a serious short term strategy. You should be getting links from as many different places as possible. Not sure why proxies would matter in doing this.

Proxies aren't related to the backlinks from an actual site. Since they should all be on different sites and thus have different IP's. Technically you need different "Class-C" ip addresses, meaning your backlinks can't be from sites that are on the same shared hosting plan.

Proxies are more related to signing up to more than one account to a site. It masks your real ip so it makes the site harder to tell you are the same person.

Hi Guido,

Thanks again for your PM and for doing this for me.

From my original message:

"I was wondering if you would be willing to dissect a site for me quickly to help me learn what is involved.

The site was being sold on flippa recently and the owner was claiming adsense income alone of $8,300 per month.

Trying to do some keyword research online to see how he did it, I just don't see how he was pulling in that much.

I would love to know how he did it and how long one could expect it would take to build the site and rank in his position.

If you wouldn't mind taking a look, the site is buprenorphine-doctors.com

I'm not looking to recreate that site, but see it as a motivation to create something similar in a different niche. Looks like it takes almost no maintenance, and has very little costs associate with running it.

Thank you!

Brootal - If I remember correctly, the $8,300 a month wasn't entirely adsense revenue, but a combination of directory listing fees ($14 monthly or $99 annually) and adsense revenue.

I don't know how many doctors he had listed in his directory, but if he had 593 each paying $14 a month, there's your $8,300 right there.

Hi Kwerner,

You are correct that not all came from Adsense. He mentioned that the bulk of it came from Adsense, but I don't think he mentioned how many Dr's listed or for how much. I too would want doctors to list on the site and would actually spend more time with that then trying to get adsense.

However; what I am looking to learn here from someone who is an expert in the SEO game, is; how difficult is it to create a site like that and get it to rank for terms that pull in that kind of traffic. The creation parts seems like it would be quite simple even in something like wordpress. I'm looking more from the after it's up type thing.

Did that site take years to rank? or months?

Guido was kind enough to offer a simple site dissection for me so that we can all learn from it.

Seeing that site bringing in that much profit, from such a simple site has been a huge motivation.

Hi Guido,
1. Is it harmfully to rename page's url if the page has been indexed with Google?

2. If you've faced with the Opencart, give me a few suggestions to optimize cattegories. I'm bad surprised a cattegory's url and h1 is the same there. For example, if my page url is www.mydomain/goods%20stuff This means <h1>good stuff</h1> too. But how to change the h1 header and don't touch the url?

3. Can I use h1 twice on a page?

I'd be glad to know all it from your own experience.
Thank you.

Guido, What tools do you personal use for SEO?

I've been reading and testing stuff out and realized that a lot of SEO takes up time and I want to stream line this process.

I tried the trial of MarketSamurai and found that its not that good. Its slow and you can do all the stuff that it does by yourself with free tools like seoquake and G! keywords tool.

You mentioned bookmarking daemon, Glen from viperchill.com raves about this product. Do you think its a worthwhile investment and how should one use it? Should they use daemon on their money site as well as their web 2.0 sites and articles? or just their articles and web 2.0 or just their money site?

Do you use spun content and what program do you use for this?

Any other tools that you use (or have use but do not recommend) would be great. Thanks.

There are so many tools available to use, but for backlinking personally almost 100% use manual efforts because for me quality is ensured.

But definitely a must have tools is Scrapebox, http://www.scrapebox.com/But I don't use it for blog comments. It has so much more functionality than that. It is amazing for finding links.

Lots of people love SENUKE and Sick Profile Maker but I have not really got into them

2. Don't worry about h1 heading, it has been shown to have little if any positive effect on rankings.

3. Don't worry about h1.

I can show you many domains rankings for very competitive keywords that don't have a h1 tag

Thank you for your answer on my questions, Guido.
Really, I don't worry about my site ranking. I'm worring about keywords. I always use keywords in a page url and h1 too. And it's why I asked you my 2nd and 3rd questions.
