3 Weeks old Blog/$70 daily - ranks 1st of 11 million Google Search Results

Sorry bro but your post is confusing.

You just said that 25 articles were submitted to 20 different directories. From that statement I take that you submitted each article 20 times, to 20 different article directories. However directly after stating this, you said that 25 submitted articles are in 1 directory, which reads to me that your 25 articles were NOT submitted to 20 different directories. Not making sense to me, perhaps I'm not reading you right. Am I the only one not getting this?

This is a rather important point to clarify because people may be taking your advice here - and as a result of reading it wrong they will be getting a proper google smack-down for submitting duplicate articles to so many directories.

I am telling you this I got 25 articles in total for amrketing purposes

I submit each article to 20 different directories.

Do you get the idea ?

so in total
25x20 = 500 articles destributed in total of 20 different directories

[peter gibson]

K I'm hip. Just wanted a clarification. Thanks.

Hi,

Wow that's really a great stuff! Thank you for sharing

Cheers,

Congratulations on your success this is great. One question I have thought. You have been building links very fast. Doesn't that usually set off a red flag in Google. And what about the sand box? Just curious.

Congrats again.

A case of finding an objection that doesn't exist.

Duplicate content does not apply to article marketing - but no matter hnow many times you tell people they still want to worry about it. That "penalty" had nothing to do with articles in the first place!

I see a lot of people in this thread trying to find problems with this approach and I don't understand the point. It's a decent process and when you find a good, profitable niche it works well. It doesn't game any systems or cheat in any way - and it makes money. Not all niches will have such good results but you don't know their profitability until you try them.

Ivancho has stated he did NOT rewrite the articles - he submitted each article to 20 directories. That is not a problem - clearly it's working for him and does for many of us.

He is not building links all that fast - just submitting articles, submitting gradually to directories, and bookmarking once a day. If you are adding as many links as a PERSON can do every day, you don't have a problem. It's when you use software or whatever that adds many more links per day than is humanly possible that you can have a problem.

I'm not presenting any objections to Ivancho whatsoever, in fact I am very pleased and happy by his results. Nor am I creating an objection from nothing. There are oodles of people on this and other forums who complain about duplicate content being a problem - as you point out - so I thought I would ask someone who knows to tell me what they did. Simple as that really.

I only brought this up as it was a question I had regarding everyone winging about duplicate content. Since I am not an article marketer I have little or no idea about what is and what is not considered "gaming the system", so I asked for clarification to leave me and others who are interested without any doubts.

If you are trying to say that I am being antagonistic or trying to find fault in Ivancho's system I don't appreciate the inference. I admire Ivancho in his efforts and results, I'm only trying to learn from them and make sure his words are understood by the readers of this thread.

[perfecthomebuz]

Congratulation man. More success.

Hi Kay,

Great tips here, I compltlly agree with your last sentence about the stuped softwares that some people belive in them...

[jinmin]

Hi Ivancho,

Thanks for sharing and amazed with the results that you've achieved !
Few things to clarify :-

1. When you submit to the top 20 article directories, do you do it manually or do you use any article submission tool ?

2. What is the word count for each of the article that you outsource ? do you think 250 is good enough ?

3. do you submit the same article to all 20 article directories ? Or do you modified each before submitting them ?

4. all your articles signature points to your blog URL ?

thanks,
jinmin

[alloke613]

Wow, that is amazing. Congratulation.

[he_august]

Woot.... Congratulation on your success... We're all happy for you :>
And i need to learn many things if i want to success, especialy from a person like you... wish me luck :>

[Kay King]

If you are trying to say that I am being antagonistic or trying to find fault in Ivancho's system I don't appreciate the inference.

Only the first paragraph referred to your comment. I don't think you are antagonistic as asking questions is logical. However, making a comment that people WILL get a smackdown regarding duplicate content is bad information because because it is incorrect.

Yes, you will see (new) marketers mention this topic frequently - but you'll find few of them understand it and many are only saying what they've heard from other (equally new?) marketers. My point is this is not anything to waste time worrying about. Focus on the process listed in the OP - and you can do very well with blogs.

This truly is a very workable and practical method to use.

Question about directory submissions... most directories I have seen require a link back from your site. How do you get around this? Or are these directories you submit to those that don't require link backs? Thanks!

The directories that I used they did't, people can't you read the thread I answer this and similar questions 1000 times now

When you submitted your 25 product articles to the 20 article directories did you submit exactly the same article to each directory, or did you spin the content, tags, summary etc. because if you had to do this then you would presumably have to do it for all 25 articles which would take a long time ? I've heard so much debate about duplicate content, but I'm still confused because there are differing opinions over whether the search engines penalise you for it or not.

Welcome to the forum.

Google came right out and said there was NO duplicate content penalty the way people say there is (the same article posted on several sites, for instance), so it's not really "opinions". It's just that some people don't really want to believe that there is NO 'duplicate content penalty' for syndicating the same article on various websites.

Thanks heaps for that link. I think that should clear up the nagging question about duplicate content.

@Kay, sorry if I was a bit testy :-) I just thought it appropriate to get this subject cleared up because so many people kept asking and re-asking the question on this thread.

[mrsteady]

have to say I have been coming back day after day and rereading this entire thread. some really great stuff here. thanks Ivancho

[hbsjcd3]

Good job! Have you done any video promotion or podcast?

[vicone]

It's good to see what a simple, well-organized plan can do, backed with a little effort.

It's also good to see that he didn't go overboard with the promotions - for instance, instead of contacting 500 directories in one go he submitted 20-30 per day. The same with the article directories. Even though software can help, moderation is best.

Ivan

[Ivancho]

Well, To be honest I am in process to launch my 2nd attend for this plan. My blog still ranks high and still receiving good comision without touchning it.

Thanks

[Enquirer]

Well done, Ivancho! Inspiring information. Together with other info in this forum it has shown me a direction to take.

Thank you.

[Enquirer]

wjisitt, post 213, and jinmin, post 220 - Ivancho submitted the same 25 articles to each of the 20 directories unchanged.

[Guru]

Just a quick questions about Article directory. I am trying to submit to few different directories but apart from goarticles.com others are not approving in real time and i am waiting for their review. not sure if they will approve as my articles has been submitted to EA.com before? Am I right?

these 3 places I tried to submit as I wanted to submit to good directories only

amazines *.c0m
articledashboard *.c0m
articlesbase *.c0m

After their review I will be trying to submit to more top directories..

[Mark Dulisse]

And who said article marketing is dead. I got a strategy to keep your sites on top permanently.

Years ago, the Drudge Report was an unknown. Now, the site gets BILLIONS of visitors a year. How did that happen? Because the Drudge Report was a "news breaker". Matt Drudge used the Drudge Report to break the news to the world that President Clinton was...er, "having dalliances" with a young intern named Monica Lewinsky.

How many sites do you think linked back to Drudge the day he broke THAT news? Let me assure you, it was in the thousands or even hundreds of thousands of websites. These were sites from ALL types of niches; they weren't all 'relevant' links, either. It was natural linkbuilding in its purest form. And it made all the difference with Drudge's position in Google's index.

Unless you are using a "bot" to build thousands and thousands of the same types of links on the same types of sites every day (now THAT might not look "natural"), I wouldn't worry about the speed that you are building links. Some sites gain hundreds of thousands or even millions of links in one day with natural link popularity growth. (How many sites do you think linked to the news agencies that were reporting the cease fire in Gaza?)

Just like the "duplicate content" headache that marketers are giving to themselves, this "you are building links too fast' argument is going nowhere, too.

[Sean Hoffman]

Good show my friend.

Gotta find something that you like to do.

Let us know when you sell it

[dekac1]

Hi Warriors

Congratulate...it's realy great sccess man...I'm so happy to hear that great news...
I never seen that someone done before...so I would ask you to publish your clickbank statement here and that nobody cannot suspect in your great success, also I wish to give you advice to make eBooks where you can explain your success with proof...

Go ahead man...

[Kelvin Nikkel]

Congratulations!

Thanks for sharing and letting us know how you did it. I will have to give that a go with one of my sites.

Kelvin

[Benchlegs]

Congratulations!

You are an inspiration to me in my quest to make some money with blogging.

Keep up the GREAT work and please keep us posted with your newest blog.

[seriousmny]

I think this is something I can really do. I finally found a method I believe will work for me. Thank you so much for this information and all the detail. I am going to print it out and get to work. I will look through Clickbank and find a product I want to promote, buy it, and then get to brain storming for article ideas and keywords.

I have the day off tomorrow and I will spend it getting some articles written. I think I have the ability to do it myself and I will just take my time and amass 25 articles. I will write 3 articles a day for 1 week and 1 day. I have 4 hours of free time each evening.

After I write the articles I will move on to the next step. I'm really excited. Thank you so much... I'm going to make some money this year and I'm excited about that. It's true if you look hard enough in this forum...you can find some nuggets. Thank you for being so kind and sharing this information for free... you will reap what you sow.

Great thread Ivancho. Im using a very similar system at the moment if it brings home the cheese ill be sure to let you guys know.

p.s. James Schramco, thanks for the heads up about the audio and video systems you use i had been pondering about similar systems to traffic geyser because i did not like their price structure. Cheers

There is something that Google does once a site is really noticed by them. I have had many sites ranking at the top after a few weeks only to fall to the bottom and slowly work their way back up. I don't think it has anything to do with content on the site..

When you launch It's like Google finds all of these links suddenly and bumps you up to the top...within a few weeks/months it's like Google comes back around and moves you down and makes you prove that you are worth the top spot by both building on what you have, and by just staying online and not folding.

I have had sites that weren't hit very bad but they all seem to follow this. I'm pretty sure Google has something in their algorithm that handles this and for whatever reason needs some time to get on the new sites.

[nu2wf]

Congratulations and thanks for the great info and guidance. I dont think this is a repeat question. Did you use any software when submitting to your chosen 500 directories or did you do each manually?

[peter zwegert]

you have done a grat job

Update

After few weeks of this thread started my site is now nearlly 8 weeks old and I just want to update you that, my site is 1st in google and yahoo now and my income has increased from $70 to around $100/daily.

What I done is post 2 more squido lens and 5 articles distributed to 20 directories.

btw: I am wondering if some of you has some results from the start of this thread ?

[axileon]

looks like you are doing better n better.... great job man...!

I've been following and doing the same with various niches (plus a bit more promotion) for about a year now, and I must say I've not even come close $100 a day consistently with such a short amount of work.

Of course, I have many sites hitting big figures but they took a lot of effort and time (sleepless nights, blood sweat and tears ).

The articles you had wrote and Lens's must be killer man .

Good job.

Louis

P.S. If you don't mind me asking, are you getting over a dollar per AdSense click?

Hi Louis

No I am not getting over a dollar per click but the average is around 50 cents

From the sound of it Ivan has taken good steps to ensure a natural looking linking process. Every chance his site may get sandboxed, but again there is every chance that it will stay there.

[locke]

I've been experiencing the tank effect as well with several search results.. The ones I am experiencing the most success with have a nice quantity of 1 way do-follow backlinks and that seems to make a big difference when you aren't competing with millions of pages.. Google likes to shuffle things around quite a bit, my newest site has been up for a month and has first page results for the term Me2Everyone... Search for the term and you will find www.yourblogismoney.com/2009/01/me2everyone-review as number five in the results.. I believe that Ivancho's strategy is sound and if he countinues to build quality backlinks he will be able to maintain his dominence for his search term.

[Derrick001]

Hey Ivan,

thanks for the post. great work. Just wondering how much time have you needed to spend to get it to this point? did you have work pretty much full time hours (40hrs/week) for 3 weeks, or more or less? thanks!
