My 100 Niche SEO Experiment

[Wiggy0618]

Cool experiment - one I'll be watching too, as I'm putting my plans together to do something similar (though I want to use autoblogging and automated tools).

Question - since there seems to be quite a variety of variables with everything you're doing:

-different niches
-different levels of traffic and/or competition
-different SEO methods used
-different monetization methods

What are you plans for tracking what worked well and why? Do you have some sort of tracking system in place to compare all your sites that use specific SEO methods? Then the same for specific monetization methods? etc

I could see two sites in the same niche, similar quality content, similar SEO methods used, and similar monetization methods having drastically different results if the traffic/competition was different.

Or everything was the same but the sites were in two different niches.

That sort of thing.

Tracking all the variables you guys have going seem like it'd be a real undertaking...

Either way - good luck. I'll be watching! ;-)

You bring up a great point and it's one we have been discussing in depth lately. We have not yet defined a set system for tracking with the sites we have going so far. In the weeks to come we have been talking about doing this through a few different techniques from same site/same niche different monetization to same site/same niche different backlinking strategies.

That is truly the whole purpose of this site is dial in on what works and laser focus our efforts on that. I can tell you we are learning a ton already and can guarantee there is more to come. Thanks for following along!

[HenryLatourrette]

great. keep it up with it. thanks for what you're doing

[fba]

Sounds nice, will be following this thread closely!

Kiloh is out enjoying his Superbowl Sunday so I will be posting this weeks part two update. I should note that from now on we are going to be updating every Wednesday as usual but have moved our Friday Updates to Sunday evenings to give us more of a week ending recap.



Let’s get to the site by site updates…


Niche #1 – We continue to maintain the #1 spot in both yahoo and google for the product name. In addition we are now holding down the #3 spot for the product name+review. We are keeping a close watch on this one.


Niche #2 – We have moved up from the #61 spot to #39 in yahoo but are still not showing up in google. The only thing we did to this site this week was point a drip feed blast of 2k profiles at it. We will be running several more rounds so Article Marketing Robot as well as blog commenting for this site next week.


Niche #3 – This site has not seen any movement in the rankings since the last update. We did a little reassessing of our goals with this site and we came to some conclusions about this niche. What we realized is this is a competitive niche with a high search volume so it’s going to take longer for us to rank for this. We plan to build backlinks steadily but aren’t expecting any serious results for several months.


Niche #4 – This site is very similar to #3 in that it’s going to take some time before we reap the benefits of our work. For now we have 5 articles on the site, are building backlinks steadily and trying to be patient. So far we are not ranking for any of our keywords at this point.


Niche #5 – This site now has 3 articles on it and the design complete. As with all of our other sites we have done a round of Article Marketing Robot and blog commenting so far. With this site we have taken a bit of a different approach than with our other sites and so far it seems to be paying off. For this site we are only working on one keyword which is the exact product name and we have it in the domain as well. We have 3 keyword dense articles on the site and so far we are ranking #107 in google! This could be a sign that a more laser targeted approach pays off faster. We will see how quickly it moves up the rankings in the weeks to come.


Niche #6 – With this site we have mostly just added articles and worked on the design to this point. We have done one round of Article Marketing Robot so far as well. To this point we have not shown up for any of our target keywords.


In addition to all of that we have set up hosting and wordpress blogs with one post for all of our domains that we plan to use over the next few months. This should help them begin to age and save us a lot of time once we start trying to ranking them.


Next week is backlinks mania as well as adding some additional content to the existing sites. We won't be starting any new sites until later next week or the beginning of the following one.



That's all for now!

[markowe]

Thanks for the update. The results you are showing right now help dispel the myth that you can be ranking on page one within 48 hours for a site, even with an EMD. That might have worked a year or so ago but it seems from my experiments too that Google delays ranking ANY site on page one for at least a few weeks to see if it has anything else going for it other than an EMD!

I think only VERY low competition keywords get to rank that quickly, like products that aren't out yet, where Google literally has almost nothing else to put on page one but your site! I think if my experience matches yours you are going to start seeing all these sites make significant progress in the next week or two.

I'd like to see how some sites fare with little or no backlinking too - I have had very mixed results: sites that are quite heavily backlinked and low-competition failing to make page one, and sites with higher competition but a good EMD going in at no. 3 or 4 after a month with little or no backlinking.

I definitely agree with you that there can really be no rhyme or reason to google sometimes. I think EMD's definitely help with ranking quicker even for difficult words. The problem is that these days unless your on it before a product comes out it's VERY hard to find an EMD for a good keyword.

Also thanks for your encouragement in regards to seeing some results in the next couple weeks. We are surely hoping the same. That can really be the tough part of doing SEO, waiting. I have seen a lot of posts from people in this forum about how they built a bunch of backlinks and haven't seen any movement. I tell them all the same thing I tell myself, be patient. This kind of strategy is about building assets and setting things up long term, not quick cash.

[Neil M]

Just a quick additional update....

Niche Site #4 after showing blanks in the rank checker all week just suddenly showed up on the map in the top 150 for the two main keywords and in the top 70 for two of the sub keywords! Fantastic news!

[skidog30]

Thanks Kiloh for posting this! I'm following it as well. I have 18 sites that I'm just rolling out and this is a help to see how others are doing.

What kind of hosting are you using? I didn't see it listed, but might have missed it though. Are you shared, VPS, Reseller, or ???? package or something? Just wondering as I'm making this choice now.

Thanks and best of luck in 2011,
Chris

I'm currently using just a regular shared hosting plan, and I did get an email stating I'm slowing down their servers because of the bandwidth I'm bringing in. I'm going to give them a call and see what's up because they do advertise "unlimited" bandwidth.

Thanks for the update. I was wondering the same thing about what hosting to use. It appears that "unlimited" usually does have some limit to it, but that is whole other discussion.

Would appreciate knowing how your discussion with hosting co comes out, and what type of hosting plan you end up having to use.

Thanks,
Chris

Just got off the phone with the hosting company. It wasn't actually about the bandwidth I was using, it was because I had a limit of 1000 tables for SQL databases and I was over the limit. Each wordpress site uses between 20-40 tables, but I had 3 Magento sites using 250+ so that's what brought me over the top. I ended up deleting the 3 Magento sites and I'm back within my range. I'm currently using Hostmonster and never had a problem with them, I have over 40 domains hosted there.

Update Week 3

Niche #1: Still holding the #1 spot, product launches in March so we have 1 month left to hold it here.

Niche #2: This site is still not ranked in Google however we did get a couple of CPA conversions via our article marketing using article marketing robot. We are continuing to build backlinks for this site.

Niche #3: We are now ranking in google at #86 and #140 which is great news. Still continuing to build backlinks via blog commenting.

Niche #4: This site made the most improvement this week. We are now ranking for 4 out of 5 keywords.

Main kw: #74, keyword 1: #81, keyword 2: #32, keyword 3: #22. This is the niche we believe will be one of our big money makers so we'll be watching this one closely.

Niche #5: This site moved from #107 to #79 in Google. Continuing to build backlinks.

Niche #6: This site has ranked for one of the keywords at #160. We will be doing additional article marketing robot blasts and adding some additional content over the weekend.

The main thing we learned which is something we knew from the beginning which is to be patient and keep working at it. It's great to see one of the sites climbing up the ranks which is niche #4.

During the week we will be experimenting with different auto posting and spinning plugins to keep the content unique. We will have another update on Sunday, have a great Friday!

[bestitrix]

Great Thread. Thank you for sharing your experience. Keep it up guys I want to see your websites dominate your competitors.

I just registered an EMD a week ago and I am number 6 on page one right now in a relatively competitive niche targeting a low to medium keyword.

It has to help.

[remodeler]

This is an interesting long term experiment. I wish you guys the best and I'll be following along with your updates.

[pooley100777]

This is fantastic, just what i have been looking for!

Like you said earlier in your post not everyone knows were to start in this business and i take my hat off to you for doing something like this!

all the best in 2011 and i will keep reading!

Couldn't agree more. There is a lot of tedium in producing even single blogs but mass production (which one way to ramp up revenue) really needs some kind of automation. AND you're spot on with "simpler the better". I have tested this extensively and it is absolutely correct.

I see loads of "fancy" blogs claiming to be "Adsense Otimized" but are clearly not. They look great n' all but coversions suck. I think they may sell well though, based on looks alone and not performance.

Kiloh & Neil

Let me say this that you both have infused / refreshed my drive. I was going slow on my affiliate sites project but after reading your thread I am back to drawing board. I am sure that I am not the only one you have inspired.

You not only deserve my thanks for getting me to the drawing board but also for your ebook “ How to find a killer Niche “. Nice resource and insight. I am taking you up on your offer and request your input. Of 2 niches I am researching the basic details are as under :-

Niche 1
Searches EXACT : global 1.6 local 1.3k
average CPC $0.94 estimated daily clicks 0

Niche 2
Searches EXACT : global 49k local 33k
average CPC $0.87 estimated daily clicks 0

IMO both are good and I see that it is not hard to get to Google page 1. But my concern is PPC: estimated daily clicks for both are 0. Should this not be red flag ?

Looking forward to your input.

I think your spot on with these comments as well Tony. We have been using the same theme for all of our sites (thesis). Some of them are plain as hell but we are focused on ranking them not making them look pretty. We know that once we are ranking and getting a consistent flow of traffic we can tweak the look. Plus honestly I think that simpler can actually prove to be more profitable. The less options or things to look at are less distractions from the main point, clicking our links to go to the next page.

When it comes to adsense we are noticing that literally surrounding the content with adsense and almost forcing them to click it gets the best CTR.

As far as automation goes...most definitely. Even at the level we are at now we are already starting to find ways to automate everything. Not only is having a ton of sites a huge pain in the ass to handle, we don't want to work 12 hours a day. The whole point behind this is to build ourselves automated recurring income. That is definitely what our focus is these days, automation. And I don't mean auto blogs because we want legit sites but just anything we can do to automate as much of the process as we possibly can.

First off I would like to thank you for your compliments, we appreciate it. And I'm glad to hear that we have inspired you to start taking action again, that's what it's all about. I spent a lot of time lurking and learning and it wasn't until I started taking aggressive action that I began to see the results I was after. There is a quote I read about internet marketing that has always stuck with me...

"Nobody fails at internet marketing, they just give up before they see success."

I have never read anything more true about this industry. I was explaining what I do to my grandmother and she said something that made so much sense to me. She said "So it really seems like there's money up for grabs here." and I said "yeah that's pretty much it." It's there for the taking you just have to take action and you will be immediately ahead of 90% of the people out there.

Ok enough of my inspirational speech...

As for your questions about those two niches....

I would say that high CPC is a sign that the niche is profitable. And no I wouldn't concern myself with the 0 traffic for the google traffic estimator. A lot of adwords is about the highest bidder, king of the mountain type of thing. SEO is a whole different game. If you feel like you can do better on page, build more links and overall crush the SEO competition for the niche and you know it's profitable then go for it. And don't settle for page one, go for the #1 spot.

Hope that helps...

Neil

[Not New]

Thanks Neil for your input. 1st slot on SERP maybe with niche 1. I guess that should be the goal but is it worth if one ranks within 1st 5 ?

[Michael55555]

Nice looks like you are making good progress so far... what are the earnings like right now???

[Neil M]

I mean even just getting to page one should cause a decent increase in traffic but there is quite a big difference between the number one spot and all of the rest.

Originally Posted by Michael55555

So far we have converted a few leads from one of our CPA sites but other than that not much yet. We didn't anticipate earnings for the first few weeks.

We will have a full update in a few hours, I have a BBQ to go to! Gotta love Southern California

[kiloh]

End of Week 3 Update:

So we are at the end of week three and things are continuing to go well. We have started on several more sites and continue to backlink heavily all of the time. We added a couple plugins and another piece of software to our arsenal this week. The plugins should help by automating some things and the software will double our backlinking efforts. A couple of our sites have shown some good movement, a couple are dancing like fools, and one even hit page one already.

We currently have 9 Niche sites up and running.
#1: We were holding the number 1 spot for a while and dropped to number 5 due to not building any backlinks. We will start to build backlinks for this site again to regain the top position.

#2: We are not ranking in the top 200 however we were able to get some CPA conversions from our article marketing efforts.

#3: We are ranking for 3 of our main keywords however this is a tough niche so we're happy with the results we have so far. Most words are on page 8 or higher.

#4: This site is doing very well and we are stoked about the results. It has been dancing like crazy, from #150 to 55, then 99 back to 127. This is one reason why you don't have to check your rankings everyday and let your site do it's thing.

#5: This site has jumped to the first page out of nowhere however we haven't noticed a spike in traffic yet. We will be backlinking this one and watching for it as we know we can hit #1 soon.

#6: This is one of the sites not ranking yet. We will continue to build backlinks and wait patiently.

#7: This is another product based site which we will be monetizing with adsense and amazon. We have the exact keyword using hyphens for this one. This is for a hot product that should be one the rise a lot this year so we are anxious to get it moving. We have added all of the intitial content and are beginning the process of building backlinks the next week.

#8: This is also another site based on products. It’s more of a broad “store” for a particular type of product where we will be able to go after/offer many different brands. We are slowly adding content.

#9: This site is another CPA offer. The niche is fairly competitive and lucrative, we are just starting to set this site up with content and plugins.

Stay tuned for more updates next week! Hope everybody had a great weekend...

[Magy]

Hi,
how many pages of content per site?

A minimum of 3 but generally 5. One article per keyword were targeting usually.

[KnightAl]

Great info , it helped me .

[heenal]

Hi All

Following this thread silently
First , its very easy to set up the 100 sites you all are talking off. Have got my 9 sites up in a weeks time. All of them are 5 page sites.

However , the main purpose of me following this thread is to keep track of the tools whish are used or will be used to automate the process of backlinks. However Kiloh seems to be silent in this area and is not mentioning the tools used /using/to be used

For example Wilson has mentioned EMD
Which tool is this and whats it used for
Would be grateful if the purpose and the full names of these tools are mentioned and then only the purpose of following this thread becomes useful

Heenal

[Praney Behl]

WPMU can sure be handy, its a great idea. Keep it up and keep posting.

Cheers!

[guanxi]

Im gonna say wow, mainly because I'm new with all of this and Im having a hard time with one let alone 100 lol but great job…but a dumb question here, when u say niches Im kinda confused wat you mean by that, i thought it meant targeting a certain demographic if thats the right word, like i dunno certain careers or age groups or i dunno, can u please ( for my sake) really break it down what you mean when you say 100 unique niches?

[logoonlinepros1]

I think its looking do complicated to do that and its also require to much time to do this techniques. i hope that there is some another relevant way for doing this one.

[heenal]

No reply to my query above till date

EMD = exact match domain

ie. niche= blue widgets EMD= BlueWidgets.com

thanks!

Which linkbuilding strategy do you use for these 100 niche sites?

There is some linkbuilding strategies out there, which is claimed to be easy to follow. But when it is about 100 sites, it is very difficult to implement these link building methods for 100 sites.

[sonic74]

ohhh...this is going to be very long thread

keep going guys !

-Are you pointing micro niches in order to get easily #1 page ranking on google results ?

[MikesTraffic]

keep us updated!

[Essive]

This is an excellent thread and idea, kiloh. Nicely done. Everyone should take a lesson here on how daily activity with all of the common methods to build traffic really does result in better rank and ultimately better profits.

Can't wait for the next reports!

[freight]

Kiloh,
Are you wacking them on separate ips ? Guess you have to be super organised to pull all these together - Keep up the project and dont go crazy launching the sites

[Noctilus]

Is there a way to stay updated without bookmarking? Id like to check in everytime you make an update...wondering how to go about it though.

Heenal, you managed 5 page sites, 9 of them in a week? How did you go about these microniches set up? Im guessing you must have had the articles prepared before hand or you got them outsourced? Would pm you but need couple more posts to do so ... darn

I guess Im just going to put an instant email notification for this to stay updated, no other way to stay updated?

[grotto_from_canada]

good post thanks

[Dimitris]

hey Kiloh, just to give you some more support, I like your thread, people can learn a lot from this.
keep your eyes straight to on target.
good luck

[markowe]

Almost 3 weeks since this thread was updated by the OPs. Neither of them seem to be linking to it in their sigs anymore.

Can we say yet another RIP to yet another "Watch me" thread?

Sorry, but I have to call you on this - "Watch my progress" threads are generally frowned upon in the forum for good reason - they almost always die a premature death and do not end up providing much value. I would be happy to be proved wrong.

[outwest]

Looks like Valentines day 2011 is the last day the OP posted in his own thread

Guess he either got bored with this or it didnt work out like he planned

[TryBPO]

Yeah...not terribly surprising, I guess. Markowe is right that these are RARELY seen through. When I opened it, saw that it was recently commented on and is almost a year old I had some hope, lol.

I looked up the OP and it looks like he's been posting here as recent as October. I think he's on to something new...something about a kiosk in a mall? Hmm...

[mosthost]

It's hard to love 100 of anything. Even a father with 100 kids would eventually ignore 70 or so of them. I imagine these websites have all fallen into neglect.
