90 Day SEO Challenge - #1 Ranking Using Only Fiverr.com?

[DavidParnell]

This challenge should help you guys learn a bit about seo and how to rank your sites for your target keywords.

I am implementing a little twist to this by restricting myself to ONLY using fiverr.com for link building. I'll make updates to this thread as much as possible throughout the 90 days or until I hit #1.

My target keyword for #1 ranking is: make money with google

Challenge: Within 90 Days, I will rank #1 for the term "make money with google" using only fiverr.com for link building.

URL: I'll be creating a new post on my personal blog so you can see from scratch how I do this.
(update! new page created Make Money With Google - Important Steps!

Competition: There is currently 47,600,000 competing pages on google for the broad results of "make money with google".

Notes: I am shooting for the BROAD keyword and a #1 ranking. I understand that this is a long shot to hit within 90 days - Especially starting from scratch and using a website that is only a couple months old. However, I intend to stick with this until I hit my goal, regardless if I go past the 90 day mark.

Why I chose this keyword? This is exactly the type of person I want reading my personal blog - someone who is looking for ways to make money with google/adsense. My goal is to capture this traffic onto my list and eventually sell them high end coaching products.

I'll be doing quite a bit of experimenting too. I am going to test a lot of different types of link building providers at fiverr and will share my results so you can also utilize the best providers.

If you have any questions, let me know!

Take care,

-David


Update 1 - February 25, 2011

Ranking: N/A

Actions Completed:

I hired a writer at fiverr to create the content article for my new post.
Here is the gig I used...
http:// www. fiverr .com/users/kapsco1/gigs/write-two-400-plus-word-latent-semantic-indexing-articles-which-are-100-percent-unique (NOT recommended)

I requested 1 article to be written instead of 2 x 400 word articles as described in the gig. I believe google will prefer the longer content.

Here is what I gave the provider as instructions:

=============

Please write one 800+ word article based on this keyword - "make money with google"

Additional keywords to work into content if possible...

[adsense]
[google adwords]
[google adsense]
[how to make money]
[make money online]
[how to make money fast]
[ways to make money]
[make money]
[google ads]

Here is an example article:

Make Money With Google - A Beginners Guide
http:// thekeywordacademy. com/how-to-make-money-with-google

=============

Update 2 - February 28, 2011

Ranking: N/A

Actions Completed:

1) I created the post on my blog that I will be working to rank...
make money with google

I intended to use an article from the fiver gig in update 1 (above)... but it was not good at all, I had to re-write 90% of it and even delete a big chunk of it just to get it to make sense.

I am going to NOT recommend this provider for blog content. The reviews were very high so I was shocked at the poor quality of the article.

2) I ordered 50 social bookmarks and also 2 articles to be written and submitted to ezinearticles.
Here's the gigs:

krh83: I will submit your website to atleast 50 social bookmarking site for $5 at Fiverr.com

Fiverr
(I know this is the same provider I did NOT recommend above, but this is strictly for link juice, so content quality is not as important)

These two gigs should help get my post on the map with google

Update 3 - March 3, 2011

Ranking: N/A

(My new page has been indexed though, so that is progress!
If I type in "make money with google important" then my site is listed in the results.)

Actions Completed/Results:

The bookmarking gig above was done quickly and I believe resulted in my new page getting indexed right away.

The ezinearticles gig from above was finished and articles are good quality but I do not believe ezinearticles has picked up the articles. This is the second time I have ordered an article plus ezinearticles submission and have only received the articles and no proof that ezinearticles has picked it up and it's live. Will be sending a follow up message to this provider... if they are platinum account, it should be live very quickly, no?!

Now that the new post is indexed, I also ordered two article marketing gigs to start building a steady flow of backlinks... Here are the new gigs ordered:

octars: I will submit your article to my UAW unique article wizard and article cartel accounts for $5 at Fiverr.com (UAW Submission)

Fiverr (AMR Submission)


Update 4 - March 4, 2011

Ranking: N/A

I've been checking the top 500 results using scroogle.org and I am no where in site.
My on page seo is right on. My links are steadily building. Just need more time. Plus, I am thinking I need to mix in some social media links - i.e. twitter. Going to create an account and connect to my site.

Actions Completed/Results:

I ordered two more gigs from fiverr...

codeseo: I will provide 10,000 live backlinks for $5 at Fiverr.com

and

http://www.fiverr.com/users/haroonna...nks-guaranteed


Update 5 - March 22, 2011

Ranking without quotes: N/A

Ranking with quotes: #25 (scroogle.org)

Actions Completed/Results:

I have a bit of an update: I am no where on the board yet for my primary term without quotes but my term WITH "quotes" around it, I am #25 when I check scroogle.org

This is a good sign. I think my links just need time to stick and be found by google.

From my experience, it can take 2 to 3 months for google to reward you for your efforts. So I am just being patient and working on using a variety of linking methods... articles, social bookmarking, profile links, blog comments and very soon I will add video links to the mix.

If you have any recommended fiverr providers, let me know!

Update 6 - March 23, 2011

Ranking: 26!!!! (I am finally on the board

Actions Completed/Results:

I few days ago I ordered a twitter gig, not for traffic but just for google's robot's sake.
I have other sites that are linked to twitter accounts and they get CRAZY robot hits.
I thought it couldn't hurt and what do you know... I am finally showing up for my term.
Coincidence? I don't think so. I had built plenty of links right off the bat - then I let google know that my site is a "hot" topic by having it mentioned on twitter. The search engines go crazy over twitter and I used it to my advantage!

http://www.fiverr.com/users/twitterg...s-for-2-months

Feels good to finally be "in the race".
Now let's see how long it will take me to move onto page 2.

Update 7 - April 24, 2011

Ranking: 19!!!! Hit page two for the first time finally.

Actions Completed/Results:

Been a bit lazy on this challenge and only ordered 1 new gig in the last month...
http://www.fiverr.com/users/portron/...cklink-pyramid

Bounced around a lot after this order but have now just appeared on page two for the first time.

Just remember everyone that their is no "magic" gig that will boost you.
I think it's simply a matter of variety and consistency. Plus great on page seo of course!

Sounds ambitious but interesting! Keep us posted

[DavidParnell]

Right now I am waiting on the content from the fiverr gig. Also looking at other providers there for link building...

You guys have any favorite providers you use for linkbuilding at fiverr?

More soon...

I predict you are going to fail. But I hope for you you can prove me wrong in 3 months

[DavidParnell]

I understand this is highly ambitious
If it takes me 180 days, will still be worth it in the end.

Thread subscribed. I'm planning to use Fiverr for my SEO as well. The toughest part will be finding reliable sellers.

I have a few gigs on there, one is for article writing, and I have had to turn people down when I don't have time. Fiverr has made me quite a bit of money outside of it. There are many reliable sellers.

[jimmypate]

That's really an ambitious challenge...

[FivestarHB]

Great challenge, onw which will grab a lot of people's interst. Even if you dont make it by 90 days, or even to Page One, you will be able to test service providers and report back on the good, bad and otherwise. Looking forward to hearing of some new ideas, and hopefully your success!

[Captain_Morgan]

Goodluck, I Hope you can do it!!

[chaki]

Great challenge, I subscribed to this topic

[saralim]

Great challenge! Keep us posted, I am interested in seeing how you go.It would be interesting to see if your sellers from fiverr can deliver the products. If you find good content and backlink providers, please let me know

[EarnersHub]

Hi David,

I never know I can hire some good people at Fiverr for Articles. Thanks for the insight.

With the article at your site, your onsite link is not proper. Instead of having one anchor text as "making money with Google", you have two anchor texts as "making money" and "with Google".

You did any rewrite with the article you got from the writer?

[jbelaugh]

This will be a great study. Looking forward to see the results.

[DavidParnell]

So far I am finding out that that providers at fiverr are great for link building and small programming jobs but not very good for quality (native english) writing.

P.S.

New Update, check the first post!

Thanks everyone.

[moneymakerz]

great thread, motivating but got to say highly ambitious

[paljohn]

Looking forward to see the results.

[DavidParnell]

Thanks!

I just noticed that my new post has been indexed. Not for my primary keyword but for my title it is showing up:

make money with google important steps - Google Search

My social bookmark order was just completed also, so this is probably the result.

I actually found the Fiverr you didn't recommend did a good job on my articles. Wasn't perfect, but the articles had some of the best sentence structure I have seen in awhile. I am pretty picky, so overall, I was satisfied with his services and would recommend him.

[DavidParnell]

Yea, for article marketing and building links, I think it would be fine. But for an actual post on a blog where you want really high quality content, I had to pass it up.

If anyone has found good native english writers on fiver, let me know.

[wsotoolz]

This is a great idea. I am very curious if you can pull this off with just Fiverr! I have had mixed results with Fiverr... some crappy stuff and some excellent stuff.

I wish I could fast forward 90 days and see what happens... guess I will just have to subscribe and keep checking in.

[TomBuck]

If this works you are a god.

[StrategicMarketingTN]

Looking forward to updates and mainly good resources from Feverr. I'm always looking for good outsourcers.

Good luck!

[sirtiman]

Great action. I will support you. Have a good rank.

[oogyboogawa]

I will be very interested to see your results and also to get recommendations of providers. I recently started using Fiverr a little bit, I kept hearing people talking about it and finally decided to give it a shot. I'm now working on a system to help make sure the links from the jobs I order get indexed (I'm not satisfied with just pinging them).

I wouldn't have thought to try Fiverr for the actual content - might be something worth exploring more.

Subscribing to this thread!

[GeorgR.]

should be cake. 4 letter phrase -> easy, regardless what niche. Much luck.

[mrozlat]

good luck with it... i am looking for some cool fiverr gigs to use... so let me know if you come up with any good providers !!

[GeorgR.]

why you restrict yourself to fiverr..i dont know..

[Spradle]

How long would it take to do this for free?

[seoforu]

Interested and eager to see the results...currently a pr 5 page is on top.Lets see if your new page pushes it down the rankings.

[Digitel]

I my self will support you. Good luck to you my dear mate.

Yeah right. Using Fiverr would mean that using gigs from fiverr ? But using the regular SEO techniques? Is that what you mean?

[DavidParnell]

Yes, typical seo techniques will be used. I am just going to strictly be using providers at fiverr.com to do them for me.

[ameerulislam10]

it was confusing Title for me. I thought you would only get backlinks from fiverr.com which is totally non-sense. LOLZ

[GeraldGigerl]

Sounds like a decent experiment. I look forward reading your updates and
also strategy!

Best wishes,

Gerald

[DavidParnell]

New Update today, check the first post!
Page is indexed. Now it's time to start building links.

[sakhar1]

i also did this but i doing it very slowly... lol. indexing my website myself with social bookmarking.

good luck to you thou!

[rising_sun]

That's a great piece of step by step study, I think it is very much helpful and reasonable to the content that every newbie looks forward.

[ijohnson]

David,

I'm pulling for ya!!!! This is quite a challenge. I'm delving into the world of mini/micro-sites and getting them indexed, ranked for competitive keywords, and loaded with backlinks are tasks I am not looking forward to. But following your challenge is giving me inspiration and also a system to use that I can make my own with a little tweaking and substitutions.

Good luck,

Iris

[linhuck]

Good luck David

Linhuck

PS Sifting through the rubbish on fiverr is quite frustrating, but you know there's quality on there.

[Alizayjohn]

it sounds good i will give it a try hope i will get better result.

[logoonlinepros1]

I want to see your previous thread so i can understand it from start.

That's an understatement! But it seems most IMers either don't realise this or just don't care about filling the Internet with junk. It matters to me - someday someone might look at my backlink profile and I don't want that speaking volumes about my attitude to quality.

It's why currently I only write my own articles, and it'll probably stay that way...

Good luck with the experiment anyway.

[Victor Edson]

Hey David, how's the fiverr challenge coming along?

[IcedSEO-CEO]

currently, I'm only using fiverr for my SEO campaigns and I'm getting consitent #1 rankings on Google for highly competitive terms within 2 weeks and spending less than $50 too, I don't know why yours is taking so much time, maybe.... you are not buying the right gigs or what? One of my keywords gets 90,000 monthly local searches in broad and 53,200 in exact match and I ranked #1 for it in less than 1 week using only fiverr gigs for SEO and once again spending less than $50, just so if you want to know, the domain name is brand new and I just bought it this year's January and till now, I'm still #1 for the keyword.

[phdinseo]

care to share which fiverr gigs did you use and pay only $50 and get #1?!

[ameerulislam10]

Competition level could be different in different niches.

[The Prophet]

Good challenge for a person to tackle as an SEO experiment to get to page one

[kimmer551]

This is a good topic for which I am happy to subscribe too! I know 90 days is a short period of time, and I do believe it can be done(the results). My problem with with Fiverr is finding good workers, anyone care to share their contacts? PM me if you want to.

[akif]

Great Challenge ! and interesting to see the outcome of this.. i have already subscribed to this thread.. Good luck
