Could you please check my SEO strategy? on and off-page. It's going fairly well, could be better
- SEO |
Thanks for taking the time to have a look!
I'm making some money online, ranging from £200-about £1000 a month at the moment. Which is very useful but I feel with a bit of help it could be a living.
I might be making some major on or off-page SEO errors, so could you please check this strategy? (collected all questions I have at the end):
I've found one product in the health niche that has proven lucrative. It's safe, it seems to work, it's only been around since late 2010 so the competition is at least not huge.
Anyway, it's performing better than any of the other products I've tried. I focus on affiliate marketing.
That's why I began to build multiple sites about it. I now have 6 Wordpress blogs about it, I clone the sites using ManageWP, BUT I always make sure to delete all the cloned content and add different content to each site.
About half of it is unique content that I've written myself, 800 words+, and that I was sure to submit to only one of my blogs per article, and then to EZA.
The other half of my content is generated with Article Magic. A WSO I bought that allows you to grab other people's content, put it through their system and then it changes the stopwords so the articles pass Copyscape. I was a bit unsure about this system so I only used it for 50% of my content. Also, I was sure to keep ALL original links in the articles, so that it's syndicated content, benefiting the original authors.
As for off-page SEO. I'm using multiple Matt Leclear 100 links a day packages per site (they are on multiple C class IP domains, apparently it's safe to send this many links a day using this service, my experience suggests this is true), also SEnukeX campaigns scheduled for gradual release over a week. I've also bought some link pyramids involving high PR links and/or .EDU domains.
I used to use mass linking with Scrapebox and Article Marketing Robot and a lot of autogenerated content using programs like WProbot. I've since stopped both these tactics, and deleted those articles,but think some of my older blogs may still be suffering the fallout.
Some sites are starting to perform fairly well with this overall strategy.
Some questions I have:
1. One concern I have, is that G might be getting smart to my blog cloning now. That, although the blog content might be different, perhaps if they spotted enough sites with the exact same plugins, theme settings, link to sales page, similar images etc...they might decide to penalize them all for spam. Any real risk here?
2. Each article is on-page optimized with SEObeast, I put my main keyword in the title, slug, meta data, first line, last, outbound link etc...I always make sure not to have a keyword density over about 2%. But do you think this plugin is overkill? I rotate focusing on about 4 keywords per site using SEObeast.
3.Do you think Article Magic sounds like it could be harmful to my rankings?
4. I'm a bit concerned about my links. For 50% of my articles, the ones with original content, every post links to the same sales page, as well as back to my main review article on that site. Every single post has the same two links. Is this unwise?
5. I'm not doing much deep linking at all. Should we deep link just our main articles, all articles evenly, or not bother with this?
6. Do you see any harmful practices in my linking strategy? Could you suggest what type of off-page SEO I'm most lacking? I don't do any social marketing.
7. Any other tips on how I could improve this strategy and my rankings please?
Thanks for reading! (Sorry it turned into an essay!)
