[ainmohd]

I submitted my email address and discovered I have to write the best reasons why I need your product (badly - life or death matter). I'm not writing anything. Thanks.

[FunMakingMoney]

I am interested in outsource. Roughly how much to build a site outsourced from content to seo...
Thanks.

[Joshua Kwentoh]

I thrive in systems and processes cos it helps me run my businesses properly.

After the panda and penguin updates I lost a lot of my local sites for lead generation and since then I have not bothered to learn new tricks until I came across this step by step plan on how to hit back at google and even make your job easier by outsourcing the whole process.

There is no fluff in this... ONLY MEAT.

If you are into SEO or want to generate leads for local businessesvia SEO do yourself a favor and Hit the buy button once it goes LIVE!!

The outsourcing section of this report is totally AWESOME VALUE FOR MONEY TO ME.

Thanks for sharing your case study my man.

Stay blessed

For me am off to ramp up my SEO hustle once again

[9ball]

Just can't wait. If I can't get review copy, I'll buy it

[maz1207]

Hi, hope to win this one since i have a .info domain name and it's hard to rank. This WSO looks good.

[UltimateSEO]

I want it, I want it, I want it.
I want to be the Zookeeper and lock up the little google beasties away from my rankings. Hope I get one of those sweet, sweet review copies.
Good work Aravindh, I'm waiting for some good news ;-)

[oxfordmoron]

I own tons of .info's. I found a few years ago that many of my .info's outrank my .com's using the exact same domain name. even some of my .us sites are outranking the same name .com. .mobi's and .tv's are difficult for some reason still unknown to me.
I hope to win a copy, but interested if the price is reasonable on day of release. I am spending less time on my affiliate sites and concentrating on a clever dog collar I created and will unveil it soon on my dog related sites.
Will this system benefit my non affiliate sites?

[Mike Tyler]

Really great stuff Aravindh! You know you'r stuff, and you are not afraid to show it

Seriosuly guys, I just got my hands on 45 pages of really solid information on how to rank your website past-penguin, even an .info site can be high in the ranks if you follow all the steps that is laid out in the Lazy Google Dominator.

And yea, this is an real case study. He realeves both his URL and keywords, and myself, I was tempted to check if the results were real. Yep, no fluff here!

Good job Aravindh!

All the best on your launch.

Mike.

[KBrown]

This is right up my alley I have 5 .info sites that am attemping to take to the top for thier keywords. So I will be ready and on stand by to take a look at this bad boy.

[bertranddo]

Alright so here is a part of the (long) review I sent to my gang:

In this case-study, Aravindh documented how he created a site on an .INFO domain (cheap stuff) and ranked it on page one in no time.

you might be wondering how fast did he gets these rankings:

-within 20 days of starting from scratch his site reached the top 10 for his targeted keywords

-and 30 days later he was already on top 5 of good old Google

Now by any shot these are reasonably fast results for website SEO.

But besides the fascinating insight this can give you into a very successful marketer's business, I really appreciated the fact that Aravindh didn't hold anything back and gave away the contact details for ALL his outsourcers.

And if you are like me and you know how tuff it is to find a quality service provider out there (very tuff!) you will definitely get a LOT of value from this.

In fact that's where I think the real value lies in this product: besides having a sound strategy, having access to the right people (at the right time) is key to pushing any SEO project forward.

So who is this for?

Well if you are an online marketer doing any kind of SEO you NEED this. It’s necessary to see what people are up to these days and what’s working right now in an industry like SEO which is constantly changing, even more so for the past 18 months.

And if you are an offline marketer all you have to do is to take the exact SEO providers you’ll discover inside and charge your clients a premium price for your SEO services.

Remember: in business, it’s all about being the middle-man : )

All in all this is solid, actionnable and fluff-free informaton that you can put to use right now in your business.

Highly recommended,
Bertrand.

[curbsam]

Brave move Aravindh. G'luck with the launch.

[D37]

Looks good!

Is this good to rank for local keywords?

[yau]

Sound interesting, can I have a review copy?

I was fortunate enough to get a review copy of Aravindh's Lazy Google Dominator course. He had requested that I leave my 100% honest review and that is what I will be providing here. The course is well laid out in a 45 page pdf that contains all meat. There is no filler content here. He reveals a website in the weight loss niche and shows exactly the outsourcers he uses for what types of links and also tells you at what time period you should be getting each type of these links. He also goes into detail about how to structure your content (articles) post penguin (or how to outsource your content). Overall I think this is a really nice course with all of his outsourcers revealed in regards to getting backlinks.

One of the areas I wish he would have went over a bit more in detail was how he went about choosing the keywords for his site. Also where he talks about on-page optimization I am not sure I totally agree with his methods "post-penguin", before the penguin update I would have 100% agreed with the information provided, but it seems that after penguin his on-page seo tactics will be seen as "over-Optimization" in Google's eyes.

Overall I think this is a really good course and worth the price of admission just for the off-page seo outsourcers that he reveals.

[JimmyWrex]

Hey guys,

I just thought I'd drop my review here. I did get a review copy.

This ebook is short, easy to understand and well laid out. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that THIS METHOD WORKS EVEN IN THE POST PANDA AND PENGUIN ERA.

He gives away his domain, results, keywords, backlink ing methods and outsourcing methods.

A real life case study. Excellent stuff :-)

Clearly this is mostly an outsourcing strategy - so the real info we need to decide its value is missing - how much does it cost to do it?

[Nolimit2it]

I was fortunate to have been given a “eval” copy of Avarindh’s “Lazy Google Dominator” report even though I had fully intended to buy it anyway.

I had tried on at least 7 occasions to create niche sites that would provide a small monthly profit by using the latest greatest “google backdoor/slick trick/3 click system... believe me... they don’t work. Most of the stuff that I purchased was either based on last year's techniques, some pre-Panda/Penquin tricks and/or used and abused grey hat side doors that just were not practical or plausible in today’s niche marketing landscape.

Other than two graphic placements errors and one spot where a paragraph of text was repeated in different words lower down the page, I found the report well written, full of facts (yes I researched and checked his results and current standings of his case study) and jammed with quality information.

The simple fact that he is proving that you CAN rank and rank well for what were once believed to be “junk” status domains like .info and .biz should be of great interest to all of us. Bargain basement domains now are capable of becoming profitable real estate online.

When I personally checked his example case study website and found to my utter disbelief that even with a PR-0 it was listed high up on the 1st page for 2 VERY competitive phrases (one 2 word, the other a 3 word phrase)... well he had my attention!!

I went thru the entire 45pg document (twice) and here are a few more important details:
- It is a complete case study, nothing is left for us to guess at or imagine in the ranking of the site.
- It is broken down into Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and forward process for the initial portion
- There is a step by step plan of just how he accomplished getting 3 main keywords in a tough niche with high competition to rank on page 1, complete with the tools he used, what plugins he used, how best to use the keywords (placement, format, etc.), where he got his outsourcing, etc.
- He lists of 8 “unbreakable” rules that he says are absolutely necessary to rank now
- There are links to several YouTube videos where he walks thru the onsite SEO processes
- He explains the importance, use and type of backlinks to make use of, where to find them and what to do with them.
- He even tells you which Fiverr & Warrior people he used and gives links to their gigs.
It’s my guess that it is what backlinks he uses and how he used them that really made the major difference in his results, even though the way his articles are written and used would definitely matter.

It REALLY is complete and comprehensive and even though he does not spell it out for EVERY niche you can think of, it is explained in a way that you can take the info and apply it to whatever niche you feel is appropriate and you should see some success.

NOTE 1: If you look at the case study site you wil notice that his primary & secondary keyword phrases are underlined or bolded or used as internal page anchor links but the reasoning or practice of this is not explained in the case study. Also no reason was given for the misspelling of the .info domain name (extra “t” in diet).. intentional or a mistake?
NOTE 2: There are costs that he explains thoroughly (Fiverr, Warrior jobs, article writing, etc.) but IMHO they are all reasonable costs (do you know any biz where you don’t need to invest any money in to build it in the first place??) and completely necessary.
NOTE 3: There is no monetization on the case study site. I was disappointed to not see how he planned to monetize the site or what he was using for monetization and there was no talk about what profits he was seeing from similar sites.

If you want the cold hard facts of how to rank for competitive keywords using junk domain extensions, then this is WELL worth the money.
Thanks Aravindh!

Hi there,

I provide you a solid plan and show you exactly how to do SEO the proper way.

If you were to outsource it, you will probably have to spend somewhere around 160 USD for a website, but if you are a little low on cash, you can do it yourself as I show you how to build backlinks the proper way.

Let me know if you need anything else...

Thanks

I doubt that......

[John34]

Just finished reading it, i have 1 question....

After reading the report, i checked the backlinks of your website and also found your backlinks from high PR home page websites, for example one of the backlinks if from 12 year old domain which is also listed in yahoo directory.

But in the ebook, i could not find any info on high PR home page backlinks.

[BizRevolutions]

I'm in! I'm anxious to find some solid outsourced contractors!

What about OTO's ?????

I just want to know the best way to use your plan permanently on auto pilot . So for example, you spend $160 to get to page 1 and then to maintain that rank what do you do longterm for the site ?

I mean do you spend the $160 again or just partially spend that again and if so at what intervals, like every 2 months etc

Thanks

Hi there,

I am not exactly aware of this.

I completely outsourced the backlinking and I guess one of my vendors placed a link on one of their own domains.

I will talk to them and get back to you...

Hi there,

The vendors that I recommend inside this guide have monthly seo plans, so after you use them once to get your site on the first page, you can use them to maintain rankings by hiring them to build more backlinks on a monthly basis.

You actually need to keep an eye on the competition, your website's position and hire backlink services judiciously.

Thanks,

Aravindh

[esdavis]

I'm big on transparency, so I should let you know I received a review copy.

Panda and I were cool, way back when, so I didn't think Penguin would be so bad. I went on vacation. Penguin struck. Pain started. And it still hasn't ended. I've been desperately seeking some way to reverse the horrible rankings that have occurred based on my current methods.

I'm pretty good with content, I'm lazy on mass link-building, nobody negative SEO'd me, and I post to my sites regularly. So what was my downfall? Apparently some unknown thing Penguin apparently doesn't like.

When Aravindh offered me this review copy, I jumped on it, hoping for help. What I was really looking for was "what worked for him that I've not been doing, and what he avoided doing that I'm doing now."

So, after much rambling, here's my review.

The first thing I like about it is that he took the time to write it out. A well-written, easy to digest PDF.

Next, I considered the domain name and topic he chose. He's a seriously brave man here by choosing something competitive with an .info domain. So at this point, I'll admit to being a little skeptical. I wondered if he really could pull this off in a business-building way. Not just a throwaway topic with short-term rankings, but actually building something that could pass the Panda/Penguin filters long-term.

This case study is a good primer for SEO by outsourcers, well thought out and delivered, even post-Penguin, but I'm honestly not sure this is a long-term blueprint as it stands.

Since this is pretty much a start-to-finish case study, and a recent study at that, the actual results concern me. Will his success here vanish after he gets past Google's "new site grace period" as I call it? Sometimes when a site ranks, you think you're golden, until 3 or 4 months down the road when the hammer falls, or some great thing you did short-term wears off.

The site is pretty minimal right now, I like the links through to outside sources - authority sites and social sites. I'm sure that's important, but unfortunately something I'm already doing. I'm also surprised that he only has 3 posts on this site. Good posts, but all done on April 4th. That makes me worry that these methods will work to get you to the top, but maybe not keep you there. But I'm keeping an open mind as I go through the study because this did occur pre-Penguin. Believe me, I'm hoping really hard here as I go through it.

Unfortunately, what I found out throughout the case study gave me very mixed feelings. In short, he wasn't actually doing exactly what he listed as important for on-page SEO, and I had both positive and negative reactions to his off-site backlinking plan. His details of working with outsourcers were a good example, though.

I checked rankings last night, and he's lower in the rankings than he published in the study. Not too much, but a concern. He is ranking sort of okay in Bing, too, but not as well as in Google. That's a little disturbing, but Bing can be weird sometimes, so again, open mind.

My concern is that his Google rankings have dropped lower on Page 1 since his end-of-study benchmark date, which is when he got his big push upwards about 40 spots with one particular backlinking method, and I'm a little worried that a secondary Penguin attack is playing games or his backlink profile isn't pulling its weight longer-term.

I don't completely agree with his overall approach. A few things I'll mention below are issues. Unfortunately most of the methods he mentions as seeming to be particularly useful are things I'm already doing, so I'm having difficulty seeing why this site ranks and my 2+ year old site with more long content that used to rank isn't any more.

However, there is some real good in his methods, too. Just not necessarily good for me personally to improve my current methods. A few things he discusses in some detail I believe are seriously critical elements.

Those are:

1. Keyword diversity and LSI
2. Word count on content
3. Having a solid and diverse backlinking profile
4. Good social signals

One thing I am concerned about is his approach on SEO since that is an area I was hoping to improve post-Penguin.

Three of the action items in the case study that he mentions are vanilla old-school SEO (title tag, meta description, alt tags). BUT, he doesn't seem to be consistently following his own rules on all 4 pages on the site.

He follows all of the other standard SEO rules for on-page SEO, which I think is good, and he doesn't go overboard, but I am concerned about the missing items, because those are some of the most commonly abused SEO elements when practiced.

Is this site ranking because he DOES follow all the other SEO guidelines, or because he wins points with the New Google because he DOESN'T effectively exercise those missing ones? And are those underused elements part of the reason for his lower Bing rankings?

So, on the on-page SEO front, I didn't find him doing anything special I wasn't doing in the same way, except where he wasn't following the standard practices he laid out in the study. As it stands, I'm already following his listed advice in the case study for SEO and it seems to have been hurting my sites. So I'm wondering what the difference is for him.

Maybe it's the backlinking.

Of the type of backlinks he recommends, he is avoiding really bad ones like blog networks, automated blog commenting, and profile links, and others he mentions I think are good. However, I'm not sure how I feel about two methods he is using. I think they have the potential for being misused and interpreted by Google as gaming them.

Also, those links can be hard to get indexed as backlinks, so I'm concerned that given the short term nature of this study, the reason there's no Penguin or Panda penalty for the backlinks is that they *haven't* been found by Google.

He has one method recommended that I wholeheartedly agree with and with the results in the study, I think it had a whole lot to do with his good rankings. He used a Press Release later on in the case study. I have used it before to good effect, but for me it has always been a short-term boost. I'm afraid that this site, over the long-term, will have the same issue.

I checked some of his social signals. I had mixed opinions about that. His Facebook results seemed good but Twitter didn't. My concern is that there is a difference between social signals to "game" Google with quantity and social signals coming from real people. I'm afraid that as Google concentrates more on social activities, they'll be looking for real signals.

It would look weird to have a FB page with well over 500 likes and no outside comments, updates, or posts on the page, and only a few updates from the page owner like his site is currently working with. I'm thinking that social signals could be good for initial ranking, but that not much has been done here other than artificially boosted ones that may or may not have affected overall rankings long-term.

The backlink profile concerned me, too. I only found just over 100 in Site Explorer. I checked in several engines and Majestic but couldn't find more. The only one with any real rank was a backlink from a site that was nothing like his "recommended" backlink methods.

However, I think he got really good leverage out of one other method, which I've definitely decided to push. Given what he stated as actual outsourcer purchases in the study for backlinks, I'm sure that many more links were created, but very few have been indexed at all if my searching is correct.

It makes me concerned that the backlink profile may be minimized currently, and possibly be detrimental later if the lesser links are the ones that show up in the site's profile.

Conclusion:
So, to boil this down to a conclusion, Avarindh has a strong product detailing some of the better ways to rank a site with both on-page and off-page factors. I'm good with that, and if that's what you need to move forward, give it a go.

However, I really didn't find anything new here post-Penguin, except for his stressing a number of formerly accepted practices to avoid. None of which I was doing. So, not much help for me personally as a consumer except for a reminder about a couple of backlinking methods I could use more and some to completely avoid.

My concern as a reviewer is that this set of methods may not last long-term as a stand-alone practice for ranking and that going forward other factors not mentioned will have to come into play to keep the rankings up.

Getting to Page 1 isn't as hard as staying there. The fact that this site is used as a case study for various on-page factors when some aren't actually being used as advised concerns me because I think this makes the current successful ranking ambiguous long-term, especially with the current backlink profile in play.

Overall, it's a good product, for some people's needs. You just need to go into it knowing what you need to know and what you don't. If you want well-explained basics, it's there. Avarindh's certainly a good teacher.

But, if you want something that has a solid proof of longer-term rankings post-Penguin using these methods exactly, in my opinion this case study just isn't quite there.

I'm not saying these methods didn't work in the short term. They appear to have. It's a good place to start. And I'm not saying they won't for sure work long-term. I'm sure Avarindh is successful with his sites. I just feel that this case study doesn't necessarily illustrate long-term potential in and of itself as a methodology.

You really do not need the OTO to make things work as I show you how to optimize your posts and pages properly inside the guide, but if you want to save time by automating certain stuff, you can go for the plugin which is being sold as the OTO.

Thanks,

Aravindh

Hi there,

I was able to actually rank the website for 3 keywords,

And the number of global monthly searches for the 3 keywords are as follows.

Keyword 1 - 22,200 Exact monthly searches

Keyword 2 - 1600 Exact monthly searches

Keyword 3 - 590 Exact monthly searches

Let me know if you need anything else...

Thanks,

Aravindh

Is this site ranking because he DOES follow all the other SEO guidelines, or because he wins points with the New Google because he DOESN'T effectively exercise those missing ones? And are those underused elements part of the reason for his lower Bing rankings?

So, on the on-page SEO front, I didn't find him doing anything special I wasn't doing in the same way, except where he wasn't following the standard practices he laid out in the study.

Thank you for the extensive comments, and you have several good questions that we would all like answered - plus the BIG unknown about how this will do Long Term?

I want to ask about the OnPage SEO = did he use the plugin that is being offered as OTO, and how do we feel about what it does Post-Penguin (the Over-Optimize question) ??

Hello Aravindh,

This is probably the first .pdf I could not lay down. I had to read it till the end.

I thought I was getting pretty good in this SEO game, but after these animal updates I was kind of lost what was really working.

Your case study really has giving me my confidence back.

Priceless. My most valuable WSO ever......


Thanks a lot
