Free WSO: A few simple principles that can make you $400,000 or more per year!

[sarasayshi]

Thanks again Angela! I'm totally bored with writing content for my blogs and building new niche sites right now, this might just be what I need right now. Gonna start today!

[Angela V. Edwards]

You are most welcome, sarasayshi. A lot of marketers advocate building a BUNCH of niche sites or a bunch of articles with the hope that a couple of them will 'stick' or that with the trickling in of traffic to ALL of them, you'll do pretty well. That sort of thing isn't necessary when you create a great article and use the backlinks for it. You can do well with a LOT less content this way.

Angela, I figured as much. I wasn't too worried.

In fact the article just showed up on the index this morning, although its nowhere in the first 10 pages. I'm sure it will show up any day now.

[Angela V. Edwards]

Yeah, it should be back in a day or two, Adam. It's really frustrating while the Google Dance is happening though, I'll have to admit.

No worries. I just checked again and the goarticles is right under the ezine now at #5. I suspect a few more months of backlinks and it might actually overtake my ezinearticle.

Oh I can see the dollar signs already =)

[FredJones]

A gem of an item as usual, Angela.

I shall try it out, it is worth it.

So it most likely moved up FASTER than the EZA article. Yes, do keep me posted. I'll be waiting to hear your results.

Thank you for your kind words, Fred.

Excellent download. I've always built some backlinks to my Ezinearticles, but like you have mentioned never really saw any kind of movement. I will starting writing some new articles (or rewrite some of my ezinearticles) and start submitting to GoArticles.

A quick question regarding using your packets to build backlinks to these articles. Let's say I write 10 articles and submit them to GoArticles. When it's time to use your 30 link packet, should I setup 10 different accounts and build 1 link on each each account per site or can I just do like 3-4 accounts and put in 3-4 links on each account per site?

Technically with any of your montly packet we can use it over and over again if we setup different login accounts so that it doesn't look like we are spamming correct?

[AdamWB]

I have several gmail accounts I set up for the links, however I also put in 3-5 links per submission.

It's really up to you though, my method is to just fly below the radar so I can leave my links on the sites.

You don't have to rewrite the articles. You can actually leave them as-is and submit to Goarticles. You will NOT be penalized for this. In fact, my Backlinks article, that's number 2 out of 10.5 million, is exactly the same, word-for-word as the article on Ezinearticles.

Most of the sites allow multiple links so I would recommend putting several links on each site, instead of going back and reregistering for every new link. That's very time consuming and isn't going to work any better than putting all your links in one profile.

Yes, you can use the packets over and over. I use them all the time for backlinks for other people's sites and they work beautifully for this purpose.

Angela,

I built 10 links last night to one of my GoArticles article and this morning it went from being on page 15 to first page(#10). This is awesome. It seems you are right that GoArticles do well compared to Ezinearticles when building backlinks. I will continue building backlinks to this article as well as submit more to GoArticles.

Also if I submit the same article to GoArticles after it was approved on Ezinearticles does it matter if I use the same author name or not? Can I use my same article on GoArticles, but put in a different pen name or should I keep it the same to let Google know it's still my article? What are your thoughts?

Thanks for all your help.

[Angela V. Edwards]

Hi Mr. Trance,

I have the SAME article posted on Ezinearticles AND GoArticles; I've done that a number of times. That's how I conducted my test that proved Goarticles is more responsive to Ezinearticles...I put the same article on both directories, and did backlink campaigns to both.

If you are the actual author of the article, you are free to use it wherever you want. I think the only time you aren't allowed to do this is if you sign over your rights to it on Associated Content or something like that. Otherwise, it's yours to use anywhere.

[highhopes]

Hey Angela, thanks for the tips...really good.
While I am here are my emails reaching you with respect to the monthly top sites?

[Angela V. Edwards]

I don't think so, High Hopes. However, you can contact me here and there should be no problem getting your emails.

[julesbrad]

I love this report - and I'm already a subscriber to your backlink packets.

Looks like I'm going to be busy this next week...

Thanks so much

[Angela V. Edwards]

You are very welcome, Julesbrad.

[anwar001]

After reading this report, I tried this method on nearly 4 articles of mine at goarticles. Most of the keywords I was targeting for these articles were quite competitive. Within a couple of days, most of these articles showed up on either the first or the second page of Google for my desired keywords. That was totally awesome!

Then suddenly most of these articles were completely gone from even the 10th page and beyond of Google. I was quite worried that my hard work has gone waste and contacted Angela. She was sweet to answer me promptly and rest aside my worries assuring me that this is normal and to keep building links for the articles.

I built more links to these articles. Still they were nowhere to be found until the 10th page of Google (I didn't have patience to search beyond that). Then I totally forgot about these articles and went about my other work. After a few days (maybe about a week or so) I checked the articles again by entering my targeted keywords one by one in Google.

I got a big Surprise! Almost all of these 4 articles were on the first page of Google for the keywords I was targeting. They have stayed on the first page since then! Not only that - some of these articles were ranking for other keywords which I did not build links for, but which were present in the article. So I got some nice bonus ranking for the additional keywords as well.

All this happened after I totally forgot about those articles after being a little frustrated that they had disappeared from Google even after working so hard on them. I guess it takes a little time for Google to take into account all the links you have been building for your articles.

So folks, this method works really nicely! Don't be disappointed if initially you don't get results. Maybe your rankings will pick up after a few days.

[Angela V. Edwards]

Thank you very much for the feedback, Anwar. What you experienced when the articles disappeared we like to call the "Google Dance". It's temporary and it happens to everyone, regardless of how fast or how slow they add links. But boy, is it frustrating while it's happening.

I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave your experiences, Anwar.

[indie08]

Hi Anwar,

Same thing happened to me. I was on page 10 for awhile but then jumped all the way to the top of page 3 and still climbing!...

Angela and Paul rock!

[Angela V. Edwards]

Thank you very much, Indie. I am so glad to hear that you're climbing up the index.

[Yogini]

Angela,

You wrote in the other thread (post 1484):


"Google WILL count the links from the same IP, if they use different keywords. After all, think about ALL the articles that are at the top of Google for various keywords that all come from the same site. I've got a couple of them from the same article directory (two different articles) that have backlinks from the same sites and they are both on Page One of Google. Many of the sites I have put BOTH article URLs into the same account."

Does that mean that from any one site for the profile page you can link to 2 different goarticles articles? Do you think linking to more than 2 goarticles might be a problem from the same account page?

Also people say that google will only show 2 ezinearticles articles for same keyword phrase. If several different people are competing for same phrase using goarticles as the destination then would you say that the 2 articles with best/most backlinks would be what appear in google?

Hi Debbie,

Yes, you certainly can link to two different goarticles articles. This will not hurt you at all; it is fine. As far as people saying that "google will only show 2 ezinearticles for the same keyword phrase", the only answer I have to that is people say a LOT of things. A lot of the misinformation that gets passed around is because "someone said so" and most of it I have proven to be incorrect. I would say if you REALLY want to know if something is true, try it out yourself.

[AdamWB]

Well it's official. The goarticles overtook my ezinearticle for the #3 spot.

It reached that spot in about half the time. In fact my ezinearticle was usually #4 spot with another ezinearticle above it.

The goarticle overtook both of them. I was working hard on my ezinearticle to overtake the other guys, and all this time I could have been using a goarticle.

Hopefully the goarticle stays put =)

That's excellent news, Adam. If you build links to the Goarticle whenever you get a new packet, not only should it stay put, but it can work its way up even higher and possibly may take the #1 spot.

[mrtrance]

Angela,

It is OK to use the same anchor on one site twice, one pointing to the my webpage and the other pointing to my goarticle? So if I want to rank for "how to buy widgets" can I use that keyword on all 30 sites two times? Will both links count in helping my goarticle as well as my webpage move up the SERPs?

[Angela V. Edwards]

Yes you can do this. I've done it with a particular project I was working on and it worked beautifully.

[Brad Spencer]

Hey, just picked this up and I'm pretty impressed. It is a very easy idea to start implementing which for the target audience is TOTALLY what they need.

Keep It Simple and Sweet...This is exactly what this WSO does

Cheers on a great addition to the Special Offers Forum.

Actually my own experience had been if I wrote an article with same keyword as someone else in goarticles or ezinearticles that I will bump that person out of page 1. I have never seen more than 2 listings on page 1 for same keyword phrase in google from goarticles (or ezinearticles). I don't think they'd want the same domain go have several listings on page 1 for same 3 word phrase as that would look odd. A few times I've seen a 3rd page from goarticles domain that was indented though. Have you seen more than 2 from goarticles for same keyword phrase on page 1 and 2?

Hi Debbie,

I haven't seen it, but I haven't actually been looking, either. I suppose that is one of the things that we'll have to keep our eyes open for, as none of us really knows what "they'd want".

That's good to know about articlecity.com. I think I've used them a time or two before. If your article is still number one for your keywords, then it's most likely a very strong article directory for that purpose. Excellent information.

You also bring up another point that I didn't touch on in the report but that people might want to think about. You might want to get an inexpensive domain (if it's in your budget) and do a redirect from your site for the affiliate link. That way if something needs to be edited in the future, you don't risk losing your article's position by editing the actual article (don't EVER edit an article once it's got a good SE placement);

Thank you for a great WSO from Yelm, WA!!!

Would this not cause the dreaded Google "Duplicate Content" penalty?

Please advise!

Thanks much in advance,
Alan

P.S. Please find email to backlinkbuilder123@gmail.com (apparently you don't accept PM's).

[Angela V. Edwards]

Hi Alan,

Yes, I do accept PMs. I didn't see one from you.

That is SO cool that you are from Yelm. My brother and his two daughters and his granddaughter live there.

No, this is NOT "duplicate content". I have quite a few articles that are the same on many article directories; among them my Backlinks article, which the one on Goarticles is number 2 out of 10.4 MILLION. The "duplicate content" that Google doesn't like is 'mirror sites' or 'mirror pages'. If you have two of the exact same pages on your website, one will be indexed and the other will not. Mirror sites are in danger of this "sandboxing" as well...or at least one of them is.

Having the same article on different article directories is not considered "duplicate content". Remember the article directories exist so that webmasters can take those articles and use them on their websites. If this were 'duplicate content' then Ezinearticles, Goarticles, and all the rest of the article directories would have died a long, long time ago.

[Brad Spencer]

Picked this up yesterday and I loved it. Short, simple, and sweet...this is a recipe for success and I highly recommend you pick this WSO up

Plus it's free... this makes it a literal steal...

Cheers,

Brad Spencer

[Angela V. Edwards]

Thank you, Brad, for your feedback.

[James Seward]

Hey Angela,

Just one quick question: how many links should you include per account? I know 2 are ok, but if I want to write 5 articles on a specific topic and then use different keywords for each of them can I put 5 links in the backlinks with only one account?

I am just asking because building backlinks is time consuming and I just want to make sure that I am using everything I can.

Also great WSO, simple method, I will definetely give it a try (I am making the plan of action right now and looking for keywords )

Thanks So Much
James

[Angela V. Edwards]

Hi James,

Many of the sites will allow quite a few links. I wouldn't put so many in that it looks spammy, but 5 is perfectly fine for most sites.

[James Seward]

Ok Angela thanks. Will give it a try with four links for starters to make sure it works. Will let you know my results, allow me 2 weeks

Thanks
James

[Angela V. Edwards]

Sounds good, James. Let me know how it goes.

[mekap04]

Ok, I am trying your method out and experimenting with 2 different articles with 2 keywords. Right now, reading over the responses so far, patience is very important. I believe in this method you stated Angela and after reading one of the previous statements about an article being indexed and being nowhere to be found, that has happened to me too but I realize that with time, it reappears when you least expect it. So I am going to continue my experiments and update you with the results.

[dlinden]

Angela

Do you use a certain criteria when writing your articles?Do you have a word minimum ect...? Thanks

David

Except for making sure the articles are at least 350 words, I have never done ANYTHING else with them as far as that goes. I've never tracked keyword density or anything like that. I simply write about the subject in an "informative" way so that people reading it get some of the information they are looking for.

[mekap04]

Has anyone actually made any money with this method? Angela, you used a good example in your WSO, have you personally tested it out and made money?

[Angela V. Edwards]

Yes. I've been talking about my article on Goarticles for months. It's number 2 out of more than 10 million and I HAVE made quite a bit of money from it. Not as much as if it were a "desperate buyer" type niche, of course.

Thanks for the response but I'm talking about from an affiliate product maybe from Clickbank where they wrote an article, got to the first page for that keyword and actually seen sales. I just need at least 1 person tell me that and I will continue with my experiments.

[GFox]

Hi Angela,
I really enjoyed your last report, and look forward to devouring this one too. Thanks for the all that you do!

GFox

[Angela V. Edwards]

You are most welcome, GFox.

[WinsonYeung]

Thanks for the advice too. Anyway, can you pm me how roughly how much you are making money from this clickbank product alone? If it's workable, I plan to build one income stream for my girlfriend to help her up as well.

She has been seeing me earning money from the internet and I hope to share my joy with her as well.

Regards,
Winson Yeung

P.S. I hardly check this thread, so please pm me

Hi Angela,

I love the simplicity of your report....
very easy to read and it is worth
