150+ websites making $6-$100 per day. You Can Do This Too. My Online Business Strategy

by 546 replies

I have been marketing online for over 3 years now quite successfully. I am also a much sought after IM consultant.

The #1 question I get from prospective clients is, "What methods would you teach me in order to make money online?", or something of that nature.

Although I teach several methods to generate different income streams, my favorite method involves simple website creation using WordPress in conjunction with affiliate marketing to monetize.

My methods aren't anything new per se, but over the last several years I have perfected it in such a way as to maximize the benefits regarding organic search engine traffic and high conversions.

It's not uncommon for my sites to get 5000+ hits per month! And it's all free traffic!

I currently have 150+ websites that are making anywhere from $6 to $100 per day, I have about 4 that do $100 a day, the rest are all over the board.

Anyway... I wanted to share my basic business model here...

First and most importantly, the general idea is to produce a mini-authority website of 20+ pages that is optimized for 20+ keywords (including your main page and domain name keyword.)

The websites will have the pages listed on the left hand side of the site and all will link to internal pages. Each of the pages are, in and of themselves, researched keywords that will rank on the first page of the search engines and each garnish it's own share of organic traffic.

First you find a niche.

Then you start doing the keyword research.

The main keyword (for the main page as well as your domain name) needs to be relatively general.

Example:

Niche - Tattoos

Main Page (and domain name) Keyword - Masculine Tattoos

Internal Pages "Alternate Keywords" (listed on the left hand side of the website) - Tribal Arm Tattoos, Back Tattoos, Rib Tattoos, etc.

Using your favorite keyword research tool, the keywords MUST have at least 800 searches per month (exact match) and have manageable competition within the search engines. Let's just say 30,000 results or less (in Google) when searched for in quotes.

I build websites using WordPress (Wordpress.org.) I do this because quite simply, it's easier than building a static web page and it's much simpler to teach as well as implement.

When I build a site, I use a theme that has a left column sidebar and set it up to look like a regular website as opposed to a blog. For example, I take out page tabs, any unnecessary widgets, etc.

I then create a page to use as my main page (utilizing an already researched keyword that I will also use as my domain name.)

I go into the dashboard of the blog and under "Settings", I choose "Reading." Then I pick the page I just created to be a "static page" and my front page.

This allows a single post or page to be displayed as opposed to many posts like a blog has.

As you find your keywords, you will then create pages that will be clickable links using anchor text HTML within text widgets to be placed in the left sidebar of the site.

Once you create your site, you should have a very clean and basic website that has 20+ pages of content, that is linked to with keyword links on the left hand side of the page that are visible to your visitor no matter what page they happen to be visiting on your site.

All my websites are ranked #1 through #5 for all their target keywords (pages included.) 85%+ of my traffic comes directly from Google. The rest comes from people and or online entities who have linked to my sites.

My Website Qualities:

* They all target 5-10 different products per site.

* I recommend both informational products (ex: ClickBank products), and physical products (ex: Amazon, E-bay.) There are pros and cons for each. Informational products require more of a pre-sell, so in order to be more persuasive, your content needs to be at least 500 to 750 words per page. Physical products (tangible items) are great because you don't have to say as much and the competition is usually more manageable.

In building these sites, my goal is to be #1 in Google. In fact the power of this system is that all of the pages within your site have the ability to be #1 in Google, so you can only imagine what type of traffic and conversions that brings with it.

*Note - When done properly, 10% or more of your pages will rank on the first page of Google without you doing anything extra at all. I have found however, to get to #1 for everything, backlinking is key.

In the beginning, I wrote all of the content for my sites, and my backlinking (if needed.) At this point, I outsource almost all of my work in order to spend more time driving my businesses forward.

My online business strategy is an awesome business model that really works (To the tune of six figures annually for me.)

One great thing about this model, is that for the cost of one domain name (usually about $10 per year), and the cost of hosting (roughly $14 per month), you can set this business up.

*Note - Get a hosting company that allows unlimited add-on domains so that you can build more sites by just buying more domain names only.

Unless you pay for outsourcing, those are your only costs besides your time investment.

The sky is the limit!

As time permits, I will respond to any questions you post to this thread.

    • Thanks for the detailed information. One should really sit back and absorb some of the points you have mentioned.

      Re: Pages as front static page, does it matter for Search Engines if the main page of the website or blog do not get fresh contents frequently. Does it affect the crawl rate?
    • me too, having 150 websites to develop and maintain is a really hard task i have only 4 sites and it takes me 4 hours of work a day..

    • $1 per day is great, especially if you are a newbie.

      $1 per day doesn't sound like a lot, but once you compile 200 sites, you are making $200 per day, that's $73,000/year which is well above the average median yearly income of a US household ($49,700).

    • jbsmith - Yes, it absolutely works. The pages that rank on the first page typically stay there because the keyword you researched has very manageable competition in the first place.

      At times, a page may slip a bit, and then you just backlink a little until it gets back to where it needs to be.

      Works like a charm.

  • gpower2-what kind of backlinks do you use?
    • [1] reply
    • @rolltide - Nothing special. Traditional social bookmarking (Digg, StumbleUpon, Delicious, etc), blog commenting, article submitting, you know the basic stuff.

      *Note* - When I create my websites, let's say it's a 30 page site, I will typically have 5+ pages rank on the first page of Google (and stay there) WITHOUT me doing any backlinking at all. The backlinking comes into play when you have pages internal pages on your site not get to page one. Then, and only then will I backlink the pages, thereby maximizing my results.

      I also, will backlink to get to the #1 position when necessary to get the lions share of the organic traffic.

      As mentioned above, at this point, I outsource all of my backlinking. In fact, I use a few Warriors to do most of my work.

  • Awesome post. A couple questions if you don't mind. Are your 20 pages of content unique?

    Do you add all 20 pages at once or 1 page a day over the next few weeks?

    Do you use any type of auto posting software or recommend one?

    How long does it take your site to start ranking on first page of Google?

    Do you use any keyword software like Market Samurai?

    Thanks for the awesome post, I learned a lot and have been looking for an easy to follow method.

    • @giseo - some of the main site URLs (main page and/or domain page), get to #1 on their own merit. Mostly from the support of the internal pages.

      Also some of the pages get to #1 without me doing anything at all based on solid on page SEO methods.

      If not, as mentioned above, I do basic backlinking to get the pages to the top poisitions within Google.

      @smartsites:

      I have students that have created 30+ page M.O.B.S. sites in one day. I tend to be a bit slower and usually take a few days to build a site. Haven't had any issues in ranking either way.

      I manually post.

      Ranking time is not set in stone. I have had pages rank on the first page in days, and also have had pages take a couple of months. After creating a site and waiting for your pages to rank, build more!

      I am a big believer in using free tools. I use the Google Adwords Keyword Tool exclusively. It's great and most people just don't know how to use it properly. Most paid keyword tools are populated with the same Data.

      You're welcome

  • great information. I was about to head that direction myself - my goal is earn $1.00 per each blog per day. My ultimate empire plan is 1000+ blogs which end up $1,000 each day autopilot Probably takes years for this to complete but that's my goal!

    Do you use personal hosted wordpress on all your websites? I'm looking to build my empire on blogger and wordpress.com.

    Do you write your own articles or spin others?

    • @thai - Sounds like a VERY attainable goal. Just keep at it!

      I use domains that I own via WordPress.org. I don't want anyone else having control over my content.

      I have both written and spun articles to use for content in the past. Currently, I outsource my content creation.

  • Great information - thanks for sharing.

    A couple of questions about your content. Is your content just informational, or is it important to include a pitch to the product you are targeting?

    I've tried outsourcing content creation before, but have never really been satisfied with the results - any tips on how to choose someone who can really deliver?

    Thanks
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • [1] reply
    • @Val Wilson - Good question. For informational products, I tend to use personal story type pre-sell content. I have also found that topic history also works well.

      For physical products, reviews work well, along with customer testimonials, product benefits, etc. Not much in the way of pre-selling needed.

      I can't place his link here, but there is an article/content writer here on the Warrior forum by the name of Ed, that does a great job. Tell him Gary Gregory sent you and he will give you the V.I.P. treatment.

      You can P.M. me if you want the link to his thread.

  • I dont understand why you would want to stuff 20 or so keywords into one website? Why not have 1 keyword and 20 websites?

    The bigger your net, the more fish you catch.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • [2] replies
    • You can build 20 or more websites for 20 different keywords (I have done this too), however, I prefer my method for several reasons:

      1. You don't have to buy 20 different domains, saving you about $200

      2. The way I build my sites, the keywords aren't considered stuffed. Quite the contrary. Each and every page (including the main page), is optimized for only one keyword. In fact, there are also LSI keywords within each page to attract even more visitors to your website(s) over time.

      3. Google Loves content. When they spider your site, you are rewarded for having more content.

      4. *Most Important* - You're visitors stay on your site(s) longer. Sure they may come into your site via one of your pages, but when they get there, there is so much more for them to see, they wind up perusing your site for much longer. In this game, the longer your visitors stay on your site, the more likely they are to click through to whatever you are recommending, thus the more likely you are to get paid.

    • From doing the tutorials on Market Samurai and considering he is going for low comp keywords I would guess it´s to add traffic to the one site.

      If his main keyword showed, say 80 searches per day and he had 19 alternate elated keywords pulling 10 searches a day each he would be about tripling visitor counts rather than dilute the traffic all over the place.

      Then again I could be looking at it the wrong way, I´m just on tutorial phase with MS

    • Thanks for sharing and congrats on your success.

      Here's a couple of things I took from the post:

      1) He says that his methods are not new - but he's
      making money. But how can he be making money
      without following a methods that's totally new,
      there's no secret and there's no magic bullet.

      Simple.

      You don't need them. You need a method that's
      proven to work and follow it. Granted there may be
      new ways of implementing the method, but the
      method is based on solid foundations.

      A lot of people are looking for the nest big Internet
      marketing thing - and not making any money. He's
      following an old method - and making money.

      2) People will not follow the method - although it
      makes money because you have to work.

      It's a business. It's Internet marketing business.

      Would you expect to make money from a hairdressing
      business without working? NO

      Would you expect to make money from a car repair
      business without working? NO

      Would you expect to make money from an accountancy
      business without working? NO

      If you want to make money from any business, including
      Internet marketing business, then you have to work.

  • Question: What do you put on your main page? Any sort of opt-in or a review there? Just wondering how you monetize the main keyword or move the homepage people towards a product.
  • Just wanted to add something that may be getting missed here. These really aren't mini sites, but authority sites instead. Once you start building a site with 20-30 pages, you start ranking for your new keywords quite easily assuming you've got a good amount of backlinks to your domain.

    Another thing to add for those that have followed the xfactor method. John tries to sell you on product based sites, but I've found other types that work better such as health related and emotional related sites.

    Just my 2 cents.
    • [ 2 ] Thanks
  • It looks like you have a similar business model to "LMC" here. Seems like his sites may be more focused on a specific product, and your sites have multiple products based on a more general niche.

    • gpower2,

      This is great information. Thanks so much. I will need to reread it a few times I'm sure.

      One thing I'm finding hard to get my head around. When you mention build 20+ pages or create a static home page are you specifically talking about pages or could we use posts as well. Do you feel there is a difference to the search engines or our SEO value?

      Thanks for replying if you get a chance.

    • Wow... That's a lot of websites! I was also thinking about this kind of strategy, long before I stumbled on your post. Hundreds of websites each earning a few dollars a day will add up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars per day. So my strategy will be like this:

      1. Buy a decent web hosting that allows multiple websites (add-on domains). I have a shared web hosting account of up to 50 add-on domains. If I consume all the add-on domains, I'll get another account.
      2. Do some research on what's selling like hotcakes on the Internet. Compile a list of relevant keywords with high commerciality and low competition.
      3. Buy domain names related to the main keywords I want to target.
      4. Create websites using WordPress.
      5. Post content using articles I create myself, outsource from others, or spun from other articles.
      6. Update from time to time. Concentrate my SEO efforts on just a few websites and ignore the rest.

      Do you think this type of strategy will work?

    • GPower, let's deal in a realistic way with the TIME INVESTMENT you have mentioned...if you wouldn't mind...

      It's true to say that $24 is the startup cost of the domain and hosting. But what about the time involved? In your opinion, what is a REALISTIC timeframe for getting a site to bring in $2 per day ($0.1 per article per day according to your method)?

      For example, let's suppose you are doing it all yourself, you don't want anyone else involved, or simply you don't know anything about outsourcing, or hiring employees. You want to test it out for yourself.

      Presuming you know how to find the keywords, get set up, write content and so on, plus do the neccessary things to promote the site (which you haven't shared yet), in your judgment, how long do you assign in man-hours to the building and promotion of the site.

      For the avoidance of doubt (I sound like an attorney now!!), a simple calculation based on likening the site to a "perpetuity" - i.e. that it will bring in $1 forever and ever, considering that you can invest money in property or the stock market at about 12% annually, makes a single site worth, according to the "Discounted Cash Flow Formula for Perpetuities":

      365/0.12 = $3,041

      $3,041 is the so-called "present value" of a site which brings in $1 per day forever. (No one needs to know this jargon, but it is to illustrate a point).

      For a $2 per day site, the so-called "Present Value" based on the discounted cash-flow formula for a perpetuity is

      $6,083

      In other words, this is what someone (an investor) should be willing to pay for one of these $1 or $2 sites if you sell it on flippa for example. It also assumes that the cash-flow of $1 is forever and the rate of 12% is the stock market or property return rate forever...

      I'm getting carried away here. Back to the point in hand...

      For a $6 site (you claim your weakest site makes $6 per day), I roughly value this site at $18,250 again, provided it pays $6 FOREVER per day.

      This would be a "smart" price to sell the site, and also to buy the site. It is a fair price (in my opinion)...IF IT IS ASSUMED IT WILL PAY $6 DAILY FOREVER.

      NOTE: If it is only for 2 years say that the site will pay either $1; $2 or $6 per day, the valuations are as follows (using a very high 12% rate - the valuations would actually be a lot MORE using Bond rates at 3.5%)...

      $1 site values at $690.89 if it brings that $1 per day for 2 years, then nothing forever and assuming you can get a 12% return from other investments.

      $2 site values at $1381.78 if it brings that $2 per day for 2 years, then nothing forever and assuming you can get a 12% return from alternative investments.

      $6 site values at $2072.67 if it brings that $6 per day for 2 years, then nothing forever and assuming you can get a 12% return from other investments.

      I want to take the more conservative valuations as estimates for what each site is worth.

      So, can you explain to me, based on those figures, is this a good investment of TIME?

      For example, would you say, based on an alternative of working in "McDonald's", that $2072.67 is a fair reflection of the time put in to an average $6 per day site?

      In other words, would you say that you have done about 1 months work at 37.5 per week (150 hours) on the site to get it to $6 per day which would be the equivalent of paying someone about $69 per day for a 30 day month to work on the site.

      I know this paradigm doesn't take into account "once you've done it once, you can build a MASSIVE, PASSIVE income," but it would be useful to get your answers on this slightly technical point. It also assumes everybody's alternative is working in McDonald's for $69 per day.

      To clarify, if you are honest, would you say that you have done more or less than 150 hours of single-handed work on a $6/day site. If so, the model would seem reasonable to me from a very simplified financial analysis perspective...

      Summary of questions. Basically there are two questions:

      = In your opinion, what is a REALISTIC timeframe for getting a site to bring in $2 per day ($0.1 per article per day according to your method)?

      = Based on the "fact" that a single $6 per day (theoretically forever) site could be worth $2k even paying someone for a full month (at $2k) to build a single site (forget the scaling for now) would be an OK investment.

      Let me know your thoughts/ideas on this. Thanks for your post also! This is a topic that greatly interests me (scaling niche revenue sites). It seems like a NO BRAINER to get even ONE of these sites going...

      If you can give an estimation of the exact number of hours required to build the site PLUS the investment into your "formula", I can value the sites better, thanks.

    • Lots of excellent information here. It is important to emphasize the fundamentals when you first get into the IM game. Michael Jordan still shot free throws every day and probably still does.

      However, I think one of the biggest problems is the ability to find a profitable product to sell in a niche that isn't dominated by other savvy marketers. This was certainly true in my case. While I think SEO and organic traffic is wonderful, most of us have problems getting around the beginning question of: "What do I sell?"

      I think it was great to remind people that physical products do offer a chance that many IMers tend to forget about. Maybe I am wrong, but I think that people still pull out the plastic for physical products more than digital ones.

    • I love the fact that the site mentioned above (classic lit.) is hand coded by a non-graphic designer. I think it adds authenticity and this is how more sites online should be. Ironically, in terms of sales, I have got a considerably better result from the sites which have been made in the same way (or similar) because people warm to the fact you are not staring at corporate images and glitzy designs which can detract from your purpose of surfing the site and make you feel uncomfortable or like you're being groomed for something. Intrinsically, this kind of site screams of the good old internet, like when yahoo had a handful of sites in its listings, and the people seem to lap it up.

      On the other hand, it might serve the reputation of the site to have a design upgrade, but in my experience of university staff who talk about this kind of thing in their programmes and seminars, they are far more interested in the quality of experience for the user and the functionality than the kind of "Sodium Glutamate-laced" design that causes you to drool like a labrador who has just picked up on the scent of an open can of Rabbit and Cranberry Stew.
    • I know this is probably a newbie question but, for someone on a shoestring budget, is there anyway that something similar could be implemented without buying all the domain names. Like using 1 domain name and sub-directories. From what I'm understanding it would cost $100. to set up 10 sites and that's no problem when you're up and running but for me to get started I'd have to look for a way to use 1 domain and get started with that.

    • Given that you've got so many websites, there could be a few with topics related to each other. Do you ever link one website to another with same or different IPs presuming that you may have a few hosting accounts. Like do you put a visible link on the blog to bring your visitors to the next blog if it is relevant and related. I'm interested to know because I get very different opinions about this. Some say it's ok while others say it is bad.

    • No problem Walter.

      The main page of your site is to be created as a static page. Do NOT use posts anywhere within the site. Once you make internal pages, you create them as you normally would. They are linked for the visitors view by the links you are creating within your sidebar.

      The sites rank well in the SERPS using this theory.


      You are absolutely right Kenny.

      Take MASSIVE action!

  • How many times do you include the product link within the page - 1, 2, 3 or ?? Or is it dependent on how long your article is? And always as a text link, correct?

    I have a couple of site already built that sort of use this method, but I'm fine-tuning at this point and really appreciate your sharing your expertise.

  • Great stuff - Thank you for sharing and all the comments that were posted.

    I have heard the saying "rinse and repeat" so many times. I truly realize now IM is about building.

    There are so many ways to make money over the internet. I am a musician also and want to start teaching privately over skype - In a few hours I can make over $100 dollars a day and still have plenty of time for IM.

    • If you find the keywords you use in the adwords tool you will not be able to get the exact keyword in your domain especially a .com or .net. What do you do instead?

  • I do what you are doing also though some of my sites have many more keywords. And it certainly does work.

    For each keyword what would your typical backlinking strategy be? You briefly mentioned social bookmarking etc. But could you share a more defined plan?
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Thanks for the info gpower, this is great stuff. You really detailed how your business works so anyone can do this. I am working on similar sites now but putting the time in while having a full time job is proving to be difficult. But I stay at it every night.

  • gpower, I know this is a silly question, but is there anyway you could give a more detailed walkthrough on getting your site set up as a static page so only your first article shows up on the first page? In WP I've gone to "Settings" and then to "Reading" and I've messed with this but I can't get it.

    My articles are all showing up on the main page, but I only want my first article there. Like you said earlier - I just want my other articles showing as links in the sidebar. Is there a theme you would recommend? What am I doing wrong here? I'm sure it's something simple but I can't seem to figure it out.

    • Gyro,
      Go to READING
      Under display settings click STATIC PAGE
      Under front page click the name of the page you want from the drop down to be static.(You will see a drop down box and you can select the page you desire).
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Great post! I have a similar business model.

    I have found using mulitple pages that target a keyword for each page can be very powerful. I recently build a new blog using this method and for one of the keywords my site is showing up as #1, in only a few days, granted the competition is super low but still. Here is a link to google for proof: Google

    My site is coonhounds.info, when I first indexed it, the site also showed two other pages at the #2, and #3 spots. However these have fallen now, but I still have number one. I also show up on page one for two other key words "english coon hounds" and "bluetick coon hounds" and middle of page two for "treeing walker coon hounds". I am not ranking for the main keyword yet but I have started building backlinks so I think as I add more content it will easily make its way up. Because the current success is with only about 5 pages. I am adding more pages daily between other projects.

    I also have sites that target a single keyword and I have found it harder to rank them and gets lots of traffic. Granted you can still get on page one and get some visitors daily but its 20-100 vs 20-100 for each KEYWORD/PAGE of your blog?

    In conclusion, this can be a very powerful method. The key is to find super low competition niches and provide good content. Throw in backlinks and your set.

  • Excellent info, thanks. I checked out your site--if i put in my e-mail do I get to see the next vid for free, or am I going to be offered a "special opportunity for the low low price of..." I like your method though, definitely seems like something that makes sense and I guess I would just have to figure out a few things:

    1) The math of how clickbank works and whether they have any affiliates associated w/the keywords I'm targeting.
    2) How to go about finding keywords to target. I understand the criteria you mentioned to determine whether they're good or not, but I guess maybe just open a listing of businesses and/or products and start going through everything you can think of?

    Thanks again for your time and the info.
    • [1] reply
    • You will get more free training vids bud.

      1) Not sure what you mean by the math of ClickBank? Once you discover a niche you want to create a site within, you then need to do the keyword research for words you find relating to that niche.

      2) Find a niche, find some products to promote (ClickBank or otherwise), find the keywords. People have their own way of doing this. I can't really get too into how to do this thread. I mean, you can check out my whole business model and how to do everything within my latest system launch, but I can't really promote that here.
  • That one tattoo site you use as an example is the perfect niche. I'll have to think about why that is for a bit. So far it seems good because it's not a nationwide product that has strong brands, like electronics or something, yet it has worldwide appeal. Also it's something people might impulse buy. Lastly it seems that the competition was pretty weak since a lot of people go to their local tattoo shops to get stuff done, so there aren't a lot of national/worldwide competitors...it just doesn't get much better than that.

    Was that one of your $100/day sites? If not it's gotta be close.
  • thanks.,


    can you post a link to one of your 150 websites or PM me an example?


    much appreciated
  • @gpower2.

    I understand what exactly you did and in fact I wanted to implement this same exact method for my next review site. I have a question though:

    With your internal linking structure:
    1. you have 20 pages of content
    2. main keyword set as static page
    3. every other page targeting another keyword
    4. you put in the PAGES widget on your left side bar and every page's title is a keyword
    5. each one of those pages had an anchor text linking out to a product

    Would this be correct? I'm just trying to figure out what exactly is your internal linking structure. I mean when you say you have the keyword listed in your side bar, does that constitute as an internal link? Or are you linking pages to each other with anchor texts in the content.


    My idea is to create 8-10 pages on a site. Home page is where the review of a product is. All other pages are targeting niche related keywords, which then link back to the my home page where the review is.

    I would have the pages listed in the sidebar and also have a text widget with the product banner Im promoting.
  • Just curious, how do you drive traffic; article marketing?

  • I am also confused with linking structure. I am stuck there!

    I've tried bunch of stuff, but it doesn't work the way I want. Since I saw few of gpower2 videos (which are great), I can see one of his websites, but I can't seem to mimic that linking structure.

    So basicly, my question is : do you make those links (keywords) on the left sidebar as Pages, Categories or Links? If you do, where do you actually put content if you are not using Posts?
  • I'm very familiar with Wordpress so I'll answer what I think he is doing, and he can correct me if I'm wrong: The links on the left are all internal links to other pages on his site. All of the content on his site are simply more pages he has created, not other sites. It's very simple to do this in WP, you just add a page rather than add a post. It's clearly marked in the WP software editor.

    Osman, you are correct. His sidebar links go to another page on the same site with another targeted keyword. After about the opening paragraph, he has a call to action to click on "the best site for x product is _insert money site link_" Then at the bottom of the page he also has an 'ad' that he's created with another call to action to the same or similar money site. It's definitely well thought out and seems to be a good method.

  • I agree with gpower2, and most of you guys, This takes time and research, you can get a site make $1 a day pretty quick, but you need a lot of work to make 200 sites like that...?

    Am I Right?,

    Maybe I'm wrong...

    With less time but a little bit of "an automated system" you can buy an aged domain, maybe under $15, do your keyword research and then automatically post as many content as you need, to fill the age of the domain, then do some tricks to get it re-indexed an after maybe 40 days Cashing!!!. From $1 to $7 per day. Then you need just to rinse and repeat...
  • Correct me if i am wrong but one downside to using pages vs posts is that you can't use tags on pages. Maybe they aren't as important with 20+ pages though.

  • Hey Gary,

    How is your INTERNET connection out there in the woods?

    I thinking of moving further into the wild... only concern is losing my INTERNET speed. Heard satellite is just okay.
  • Guys, don't get hung up on the 'system' so much, it's the general principle you need to apply. Wordpress is just one way (though EVERY Internet marketer should know how to use Wordpress), you could do this with static pages in Dreamweaver or any html editor! I wrote my own 'lite' script to do the same. The point is you have a front page and lots of keyword-optimised subpages at a depth of just one and linked on the home page. It's not voodoo, seriously, just keep it simple and focus on the content and keywords.
    For a low-competition niche you can rank no. 1 with just ONE page, I've done it lots of times!

    • Hey Guy, I agree with you 100% here, as I build all of my stuff from plain old raw HTML. Wordpress is great for non-coders, but HTML is really NOT all that hard. But I would like to mention two(2) things here you forgot, which totally simplify any website design.
      * CSS, or cascading stylesheets - They set the style and general look of your site.
      * Templates - Create your index page (without content) and use this as your basic framework for your other pages. Your site now has continuity, functionality and really powerful flexibility.
      * Quality content - It's not just enough to put content on your pages; it must be HIGH quality content. And Google tracks this with their advanced algorithyms.
      * Backlinks - Yes these too are highly important. The best way to get these, I've found, is to write (or rewrite) articles for sites like HubPages.com, Yahoo Answers and other similar sites.

      When designed in this manner, just add plenty of quality content and Google (and other search-engines) will love it just as much as any blog out there.

  • Gpower2 thanks so much for sharing in your success strategies! I am a total newbie, and I have an unsuccessful blog with wordpress.org. I want to begin to build based on your type of model. My question is:

    Are you able to create multiple sites using Wordpress 3.0 and the multi user/network capability? I use hostgator with unlimited domains. Doesn't that take away from your unique domain names that have the keyword in them? My understanding is that each new site is an addition, formatted like this:

    original url.new url.com

    Am I missing something here? Any insight you can offer will be very much appreciated. Thanks again!
    • [3] replies
    • Rapph, the add on domains is pretty confusing. But each domain can have its own individual name. You do not have to tack it on to the other name when you set up your websites. I had a number of accounts in an addon site and they all had their own websites.

      So lets say your original name is BlueWidgets.com and you also own RedWidgets.com. For WordPress you could set up your domains like this BlueWidgets.com and RedWidgets.com OR you could have bluewidgets.com and redwidgets.bluewidgets.com

      I recently moved all my sites from an add on account to reseller account and each was moved as its own domain. I left the main name behind.

    • Hey guys, sorry for the delay in response. I actually run several online business, so my time is somewhat limited. I appreciate everyone's patience.

      The system is made to take advantage of naturally occurring, organic search engine traffic. If you want to drive traffic alternatively, you can, but it is not entirely necessary.

      It's funny you mention this. The tattoo niche is actually a VERY difficult niche to crack. The reason I created that site, is because I wanted to have a test site I can show to my clients to prove to them how well the system works.

      There is no shortage of traffic in the niche, it's just that most people want to get design ideas online but don't necessarily purchase. They are saving their money to actually buy the tattoo.

      Example: the average conversion ratio online is 1% or 1 out of every 100 visitors will buy. In the tattoo niche, it is more like 1 out of every 400.

      The power of my system is the high amount of organic traffic that is generated. Simple put, more targeted traffic = more conversions. $$$

      The links are created using anchor text HTML, with your keywords (pages) being the clickable links. Further, they are placed in the left sidebar using text widgets.

      Tags on the pages within WP aren't as important with this system. Your on page SEO and internal page linking help with this.

      Ha...Ha...Ha..., it;s funny you ask. I don't get DSL up here and have to use satellite which is pretty bad. It is a personal choice of mine though, wouldn't change it for the world. I deal with the slower internet to live the life I choose.

      The content on the pages varies. 500 to 750 words for informational products. 350 - 500 for physical products.

      That will work!

      It's almost all organic! That's why I love this system. Each keyword (page) will rank on the first page of Google. If you have done your keyword research and competition manageability correctly BEFORE creating your site, the traffic takes care of itself.

      See my response above in answer to your question #1. I only backlink pages that need it once my site has settled into the SERPS. 10% of your pages will rank on their own merit! There are a few ways that I manage this when I create my sites. Too long winded to explain here. I will PM you some info about my system if interested.

      2 - Each keyword has to have at least 800 exact searches per month when using the Google Adwords Keyword Tool. If your keywords are searchable you lose the power of the organic search engine traffic that drives this system.

      I use HostGator for M.O.B.S. sites and it is no problem with WordPress.org. When you add sub-domains, they show up as www.yousite.com, just like a regular domain name. looks no different.

      I have HostGator accounts with 50+ websites 1 main domain, 49 sub-domain url's, it's all good!

    • Guys, one simple way to do the promotion on these pages is:
      1. give a link from one or 2 of your other blog rolls to it the moment you push the page live.
      2. write 1 xomba snippet for your keyword and your new page will be indexed and have a 'little' traffic within 30 minutes to 1 hour (normally for me).
      3. Buy a list of 15 to 20 .EDU or .Gov sites. Put 2 links (not to many or The G will freak 'won't believe you') to each of your new pages all different links obviously.
      3. write an article submit to 300+ article directories (use a bot or farm it out if needed).

      next build more pages and follow above.

      Come back follow the money see which pages are putting coins in your pocket. Promote those pages with 1 more article. Then learn from them as to what you did right. Then build more just like them and repeat above process.

      You should find this to work rather well

    Yes I have some words that do naturally rank on page 1. But if you are building a site around almost any niche that makes money and you have 20 pages, there are going to be a lot of keywords in there that just don't rank naturally.

    You shared earlier that you want 800 searches at least and under 30k competition, but that is hard to find for each niche.

    What is your secret ")
    • [2] replies
    • I would say that 10% of your pages will rank naturally. For the rest of the pages, you can pretty much use any backlinking processes you want to. You have already pre-determined that these keywords (pages) have manageable competition, so you don't have to work as hard as you might think to get the remaining pages ranked on page #1 of Google.
      • [1] reply
    • Good question. However, since you are building each inner page in a MOBS site fully optimized around a specific keyword, more of those pages will naturally rank on page 1 than you realize just using good onpage SEO. Use techniques on the inner pages such as linking to other internal pages using anchor text links.

      What I did was personally invest in SEOpressor plug in that was created by fellow WF member, Daniel Tan. You don't know how good that tool works with a MOBS site to help you with onpage SEO. Which will go a long way to getting your pages to rank naturally.

      You can find keyword for almost any niche that have at least 800 Global Searches and less than 30,000 website competition. Use extra FREE tools such as the "Wonder Wheel" and "Related Searches" which can be found on page 1 of Google under the "More Search Tool" dropdown in the left hand sidebar.

      Don't forget, you can build MOBS sites around both info and physical products. So the niches out there for you to build sites around are numerous! Plenty to go around!

      Hope this helped some!

I mean I understand the profit motivation of selling an $80 ebook, but if you're making hundreds of thousands, why would you undercut yourself by telling people about your niche rather than just continue on with the system which seems to have almost limitless potential profit?

    • I've not read every post in this thread but if I understand correctly then this is a similar system to what I use. Either way, I'll share something some of you may find useful and might help to explain this strategy.

      Here are some actual figures from two of my websites that started out as an experiment. I'm initially going after one key word phrase only.

      Site 1 www keywordphrase.net
      Site 2 www keywordphrase.com

      The main keyword phrase I'm targeting gets 1000 global searches month for broad and 170 for exact. Sounds low? That's typical of some of the phrases I go after. The thing is it depends on the keywords. I go for keywords that can (and do) get searched in various permutations. For instance,

      how to use keyword
      keyword guides
      where to buy keyword
      keyword explained
      keyword for beginners
      advanced keyword uses
      etc etc

      Site 2 is a one page site plus privacy and contact pages - that's it.
      It's in position 3 of Google and here are some stats.

      Total visitors approx - 800 month
      Monthly visits for targeted key phrase - 72
      The remaining visits are mostly based on variations of the keyword phrase.
      Site earnings - approx five pennies per decade

      Site 1 has seven pages of content, all written for humans, all informative but all seven pages are still based on the same key phrase using some of the popular searched variations.

      Google positions 1 and 2

      Total monthly visits approx 7k across all seven pages
      Monthly visits for targeted key phrase - approx 150
      The remaining visits are spread across the seven pages
      Each page is linked via text widget, all pages are static pages. I'm not sure that really matters but I'll mention it as it's what the OP is doing.
      Site earnings anything from $30 to $300 per month.

      I have been using this strategy for about three years. My linkbuilding efforts usually add up to nothing more than a directory / article blast with submiter software. Occasional the odd EZA article etc.

      I use this strategy because a: it works b: I hate building links unless I absolutely have to.

      I pay very little attention to the numbers in keyword tools. All I'm interested in is, are the searches low enough that no one else bothers going after them and is it on a subject that people are seeking information, willing to spend money on that information and does the keyword get searched for in enough variations to increase the traffic.

      Multiple pages all based around the same keyword idea, linked internally wikipedia style is something people used to talk about but don't seem interested in anymore. I personally think it's now more powerful than ever.

    • Someone always has to ask this question.

      My true motivation is that I sincerely enjoy helping people succeed, plain and simple.

      This system is only one of my income streams, so I don't need the income from the sales of this system.

      I am not undercutting myself. There is plenty of room for everybody. There are thousands of niches and keywords as yet to be discovered. I know it doesn't seem like that at first, but believe me there is. The internet in and of itself is VERY much untapped.

      This system runs on virtual auto-pilot for me now.

      Jump right in the waters fine.

    • Hi I am still trying messing with the figures.

      As I said, if we used Bonds instead (risk free compared with stocks) then the valuations I just gave would be about 4 x bigger for each site.

      Still, if I am valuing a site at $2k conservatively ($6 per day), how does that match with the amount of investment required INCLUDING TIME to set up a $6 site.

      What I'm saying is provided you can get the income of a single site to stay at $6 per day for a time period of 2 years to FOREVER, its worth between $2k and $6k for the site on its own, independently in terms of valuation, given that money decreases in value as we go on, and given also, I could just buy a property which would average out at 12% given historical average property growth.

      I know this is an analytical and theoretical paradigm, as stated, but I'd still like to know...as the calculations are a decision tool (actually I think it is called Decision Rule in finance)...

      People who run adsense for example would agree that the time issue (and investment) is an important issue to address.

  • Why do you use pages and not posts? Is there a big difference? I ask this because I have a feeling that G00gle when it finds your site in a wp platform it treats it as a blog an there for expects fresh posts and new content continuously.

  • gpower2,

    Thanks for the great thread. Not only was your original post very helpful, but I learned even more from the conversation that followed it.

    Being new to IM, I was drawn to the idea of making niche sites that make a small but consistent amount of money every day, and simply scaling up the number of sites over time. My one problem with this is that most of the info I've read on the subject is targeted at one or two page sites. My initial problem with this is a feeling that I wouldn't be really contributing to the greatness of the internet (which is important to me). I don't want to add to the giant pile of low quality websites that are piled up all over the internet (Not to say all one page sites are low quality, but everyone knows there are a lot of them that are). Your method seems to solve this problem for me. By making a site around a general niche, and having many high quality pages about different subjects within that niche you are not only ensuring long term rankings in google, but it forces you to have a hub of high quality information for certain people that would be interested in it, which in turn is contributing to what I believe is the greatest part about the internet existing in the first place. Your system makes this process much more fulfilling, which in turn can keep a newbie like me interested and motivated through those initial phases of hard work. Thank you for that! I am definitely starting this method tomorrow morning.

    It's cool to see you live in Paradise, I'm actually from Northern California as well. I live in the Yuba City/Marysville area, about 45 minutes north of Sacramento. It's too bad you live out in the woods. For my day job I work in sales for Comcast and I'd totally hook you up with a great deal on some high speed internet! haha. (obligatory plug: anyone in California that has Comcast in your area, PM me if you want to hear about some good deals, even if you already have service with us! You'd be surprised about what I can do for you.)

    Also gpower2, any chance you can pm me a link to one of your sites or something like it for reference? Trust me I have no intentions of competing in the same niche or for the same keywords as someone like you. That would be suicide, haha!!

    • I will let Gary answer most of these questions as they are directed to him, but I will be glad to assist on a few general questions here Hi Ciber, It doesn't come down to which one you trust more. Gary's experience and from what I've seen on the few MOBS sites I've built, both indicators are proven to provide the best initial information for the first glance at competition level. The goal with MOBS (and what helps make it successful) is you are setting up sites that focus on keywords with minimal competition. Hence one of the reasons your sites will naturally rank very high from the get go. The MOBS criteria is first check your keyword in Google in quotes. The # of competing websites should be < 30,000 Then check the keyword in Google prefixed with allintitle: You are good to go is the results is less than < 10,000. Having the keyword in the Title is a huge onpage SEO factor. If your keyword meets these 2 factors, as Gary says, you can rank naturally with little to no backlinking. But don't forget you do want to examine the backlink detail of each site on page 1 of Google for your keyword using a tool such a Traffic Travis or Market Samuari. Hope this helps! Generally speaking, the only plugins you MUST use is: All In One SEO XML Sitemaps A link cloaking plug in of some kind There are some others I use personally that helps me, such as : SEOpressor Wordpress.com Stats Google Analyticator.........just to name a few And with MOBS, if you are new to Internet Marketing and starting out with no $, you should register a new domain and develop it. But I do know of a couple other MOBSters, more experienced in IM, that have purchased a highly optimized domain but changing the whole site around to meet the MOBS criteria. I assume there were some aspects of the existing site that meet MOBS criteria but needed some tweaking to make it better.

  • Hi gpower2

    I also want to thank you for sharing one of your successful business online that is actually making real money. Its simple but its time consuming at the same time.

    I have read the entire thread from beginning up to this point. I have a few questions that I would like to ask and I hope you don't mind answering them.

    You've mentioned that you use .net, org, and .info. Do you also use other domain extensions such as .us, .me, .biz, etc.? If so, how do they perform in terms of ranking?

    Do you use any wordpress plugins on your sites? If so, do you mind sharing it with us?

    Do you ever register a new domain and develop it? OR do you buy a domain with age and pagerank so that its easier to achieve a better SERP.

    Lastly, The title of this thread states that you have about 150 websites. You also stated that your hosting your site at Hostgater using 1 main domain and 49 add on domains. So I'm assuming you have 3 separate accounts with Hostgator? my question is do you link each site that belong to a different account?

    Thanks again.
  • Hello gpower2,

    First, thank you for sharing what you know. I am interested in getting into affiliate marketing and have a few questions.

    1. How are you defining low competition? Is it by the green competition bar in the Google keyword tool or the monthly number of searches? Sometimes the green bar says high competition, but there will be a low monthly number of searches.

    2. Do you have different hosting accounts for each of your wordpress sites or do you have multiple wordpress installations on one host? It almost seems like overkill to set up a full wordpress installation for a 20 page site.

    3. Do you think it is better to use html static pages or wordpress for a mini site if once the site is set up, it isn't going to be updated frequently?

    Thank you

    • Hi RunningBear, You don't need to worry so much with the green competition bar for judging competition. Actually, in the videos where Gary shows you how to use the new Google Keyword Tool, he suggests you turn the Green Bar Column off. You only need to judge keyword competition by typing the keyword, in quotes, into Google to see if the competition is < 30,000 But also search the keyword in Google again but this time, place allintitle: in front of the keyword. If those results come back < 10,000 sites that have the keyword in the title, you should be able to rank relatively easy with little to no backlinking. I'm not saying you might have to do any backlinking but won't have to do much.

  • I have never done any of this blog farming thingy, but I fail to see how building, growing and maintaining 200 websites for $5/day each could possibly be an efficient way of using your time as an affiliate, even if you outsource the whole thing (which costs money and time from you).

  • Well, it's a legit question. True altruism is very uncommon, so it's natural for people to get suspicious when there is someone who wants "just to help" not have the person convert in an email for the least or a lead, or a potential future buyer. Let's be honest with ourselves.

    • He wasn't sad why the poster asked that question...

      He's sad for the reason that lead up to that question...

      A common pattern you see these days is product owners are more about making sales, and dont lend a hand when the buyer wants.

      Gary is the real deal, he's heart is in the right place... He lives a comfortable life, and he wants others to share his experience.

      Gary and his wife operate Spirit quilts, check the bottom of the mobs site for a video of him and his wife, you can also visit their website too, full contact info, etc is all there to see they are real people working towards a real goal.

      The only one I can see doing stuff like this is, Gary, Anik Singal, Joel Comm's crew, And Allen (of this forum)... I wish there were more, all of which I have helped as well with donations, except for Anik as I can't find a page to donate to his efforts of building schools and tools etc.

    • For some people the pay off isn't always financial, it makes them feel good, so no it's not true ultriusm, but the pay off isn't money.

      Some people are even nice/kind/helpful because they believe in hell and karma.

      So no not everyone does something for a lead/money.

      There can be many reasons for people helping others at any given time, sometimes people get high off their own success and feel good so they want to help others.

      And sometimes you make as much money as you wanted to make.

  • I'm working my way through the keyword research methods touched on in this thread, the MOBS site, and some other videos and guides I've acquired. I'm hitting a road block with Google's updates to the keyword tool (and nearly all of the videos and guides I'm viewing utilize the old interface). Where I'm having trouble is getting the GAKT to provide me with related keywords that aren't extremely broad. Using the "feminine tattoos" niche as an example, I can't get it to return anything resembling the sidebar categories that were used on the example site. I've tried setting the match type to Broad, [Exact], and "Phrase", but none of them yield the results I'm looking for.

    I can't help but feel that I'm missing something painfully obvious here, but I can't seem to track down a useful guide that incorporates the new tool updates. I've spent the last few days studying this method (thanks Gary, by the way - this is amazing!) and I am tremendously anxious to start taking some action on this method!

    If anybody could point me (and others) in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
    • [2] replies
    • If I type feminine tattoos into GAKT, I get most of the related keywords used on the sample MOBS site.

      Did you sign in with your GAKT account before doing the search? That will give you more results, although when I just check now, I didn't bother logging in and it gave me enough results.

      Also, what do you have your "Locations" and "Languages" set to? These are available under the "Advanced options"
      • [ 2 ] Thanks
      • [1] reply
    • You can also use Google's wonder wheel to drill down on the keywords and then type them into Google's KWT and Google search as already stated and check the results.
  • My ? is how do you manage all those sites? What kind of soft ware to have use.....
    • [3] replies
    • Briley,
      That was my same question to Gary when I started in IM. I'm not sure how he does it. But me personally, I'm starting to get enough websites to where I created an Excel Spreadsheet to track, where I am on each for each MOBS step while building my site.

      But the great part about all of this is, once your site is built and where you want it to be on page 1 of Google, just leave it alone and let it earn $ for you.

      All you need to do after that is just keep a check on where your site is ranking. If it happens to drop a few notches, just build a few backlinks to get it back up the scale. But this won't be often.

      In order to track your sites ranking, just go to SEO Book.com ~ SEO Training Made Easy and download the page "Rank Checker". It is 100% FREE!!

      I just track the ranking for my MOBS site domain keyword and all of the inner page keywords simply using this tool. That's all!

      If any page slips a bit, I just build a few backlinks and to push it back up.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • I dont manage mine per se, I use SEO Elite, punch in my keywords, punch in my domain address, and BOOM, let it go to work... only need to check it once a month, if that.. if i see that the graph shows a drop for a page and its keyword, I spend no more than 30 minutes to put out another 1000-2000 links out there.

      Then I can go back to what i was doing - which probably is helping my forex members or playing poker down the casino

    • I use a spreadsheet to track all my sites also. Each site has it's own spreadsheet. The sheets include my keywords, the URL for the article on each site, a list of the work to be done for each keyword etc.

      On the page with the list of work to be done I check off the work when it is completed. I also cut and paste a link to the main URL's I have used for site promotion. For example, if I made a Hubpage, I will have a link to it.

      When I want to work on the site, I pull up the spreadsheet, and I can see instantly what I have done. I have my URL's listed for quick copy and paste.

      I got the initial spreadsheet from a course I took and modified it for my needs. If you want the link just PM me.

  • I know I'm going to get seriously hammered here for even bringing it up, but I've got to say this thread seems pretty promotional of your MOBS system. I enjoyed the post a lot and you've given some great information--I even checked out a couple of your videos before you guys even started mentioning the system in the post--and I appreciate you sharing so much, but I was under the impression it wasn't how things were done here.

    Am I missing something? I know a few of you guys are pretty well-known on the WF and mean no disrespect, but I imagine if this was my thread I'd have been called out, so maybe you can clear it up my misunderstanding.

    Let's face it--4 of the guys doing most of the talking here have a signature link to the system being discussed in the posts. Again, if I'm missing something, my apologies. Seems a bit suspect to me but maybe I'm confused.

    Cheers,

    • Not at all James, in fact, I appreciate the fact that you brought up this point.

      I originally started the thread with the intention of giving out some useful information regarding what worked (and still works) for me regarding affiliate marketing online.

      Since I utilize this method, my signature link will have reference to my system.

      I am very blessed to have a lot of good friends and students of this system that also affiliate with it, so also have that information in their signatures.

      We have an online family that happens to care a lot about this system and are willing to help to that end.

      That said, we are all online entrepreneurs, and at the end of the day, would like to generate an income online.

      We are all trying to help one another succeed, at least, that's what I try to instill in my students.

      To be honest, they (my friends and students) weren't initially aware of this thread, and I had asked some to come and help me out in answering some questions about the system. I was sick for a couple of days, and didn't want the people in this threads questions to go unanswered.

      If you notice, their answers to questions only started happening later on in the thread.

      This thread was started as a way to help people out who might need some direction in their online business

      Hope this helps,

      Gary

  • How you work that out James? people have asked questions, and all i see, is people answering them with a great amount of detail.

    re: sig link, is that why you replied so ppl can see your affiliate links and or websites?
  • LOL Ok, man--carry on then. I can already see where this is going to go.
  • Cool Gary,
    Thanks for the thorough response.

    It just seemed to me that the people responding (the same ones with the sigs) were making it a point to state your acronym every single time they posted, which isn't really necessary since variations of this system are all over the place--although surely not the same as yours. But I understand we're all marketers and network here more for just advice, and I also understand that when you're giving so much it's nice to get something back.

    Anyways, I'm not here to start a fuss or interrupt the flow--just think people should keep their eyes open a little, that's all, and it seemed strange to me that no one else had bothered even mention it. But maybe I was reading too much into it--I'm sure there's plenty of people on here who can think for themselves.

    I imagine if it was something to be worried about some people with more experience and footing here would have chimed in. Keep on keeping on.

    Cheers,

  • Another questions I had in regards to internal linking:

    So I have 2 pages and each one of them is targeting a specific keyword. So PAGE 1 is targeting KEYWORD 1 and PAGE 2 is targeting KEYWORD 2.

    When I want to provide a link to PAGE 2 FROM PAGE 1 which keyword do I use as the anchor text? Is it KEYWORD 1 OR KEYWORD 2?
  • Osman... you point links to your pages that contain that keyword your page is about.
  • This is a really great strategy. I took a few notes.
  • Hi Loz,

    I am really stuck with something.. If you would kindly take a minute to help me out I would be forever greatful..!

    I am not experienced with making sites with wordpress on its own..I have however used firepow over a year ago to create afew wp sites that did well in fast indexing and rankings in top 10 for under 30,000 allintitle competing sites..

    I am now looking to create 100 sites + for targeted keywords under 50,000 competing sites.. I am looking for a creation/management platform that I can make the sites with and have optimum seo to get them indexed quickly and ranking well.. also monetizing plugins like adsense, physical products, affiliate offers, amazon, ebay, rss, articles, social bookmarking, youtube, yahoo answers etc...I also want to create static homepages for some sites to have a squeeze page also for cpa offers..

    I am stuck between deciding to go with firepow again or wp robot.. because i have used firepow and they have contact, about, privacy pages installed I know they work well and user friendly with good tuitorials on how to optimize sites to the best... but the cost is not cheap $137 monthly compared to wprobot one time payment..

    Can you please suggest anything that will help me in my major dilema i seem to be having in not knowing the best way forward,,

    thanks in advance ,

    Jamie
  • Well, actually, my buddy Dan Nickerson who works for Joel Comm, has a application that alllows you to manage your wp sites... I'll get the link for ya when I speak to him next... but i dont think it does what you're wanting it to... my seo website builder pro was going to do all of that,and some... (thats what my programmer was working on about 4 years ago)... it could create like 1000+ blogs insde 30 minutes after filling in all the details, and it drip feeds content, then gets backlinks at the same time. it has some other features in there to make it look like a human is actually behind the site driving content into it and other stuff.

    this app that Im planning to put together is more refined than the seo website builder pro that i was working on, as i've had more time to think about all the things that have changed since then to incorporate that into the software.. there is nothing out there like it on the market....

    I dont have a price tag for it yet, but it's gonna be huge...

    btw, you dont want to have yahoo answers on it, it makes things worse, i've tried products that scrap content directly from yahoo answers and it was a waste of time.

    your best bet, is to just build them manually for the time being, adding posts to wp is not difficult... spend 1-2 hours a day adding articles to ONE site, and set it to future posting dates, to every 2-3 days, then work on the 2nd,and so on...

    all the best

  • I just wanted to say that I've paid way more for WSO's and other programs that didn't teach me as much as this forum has. What's funny is whenever someone gives out some free information everyone starts asking a gazillion questions and it's not easy keeping up with them all by yourself. I mean, Gary still has to run his own business right? So for Gary to actually invite some of his students to help answer everyone's questions is a true testament to the kind of person he is. At the end of the day we are all selling something and even if our goal is to give out some free information just to get some credibility to sell our product then so be it. I mean at least you've learned quite a bit before you even think about buying his product and I would much rather purchase a product after someone has proven themselves to me. So take this information and do something with it, I bet you could use the original guidelines, build a site and flip it to pay for the cost of his course.

    • There is more to be said about the whole question of number of searches. These are decisions you have to take when choosing a niche - if I am promoting a high-ticket item that could sell just one per month, but earn me a couple of hundred bucks in commissions, then a low search volume is fine, indeed I would expect it. If I want to sell 100 of the new Harry Potter book or whatever, I am only going to earn like 60 cents on it, so I want higher volume. To be honest, psychologically, I would rather work on a few high-ticket sales than lots of low-ticket sales! So it's not as simple as just saying high volume is better.

  • ^^so far that seems like the toughest part: finding keywords that fit the criteria and aren't already mined out. Especially if you're using clickbank to find products w/over 30 grav...there just really aren't (m)any there that haven't already been tapped out. Maybe I'll have more luck at the amazon marketplace but so far I've gone through several entire categories of products on clickbank and they are _thoroughly_ mined out on every product over 30 grav for search terms that get as little as 1k searches/mo. In fact I've seen a number of sites that were targeting (as their main keyword) keywords under 500 searches/mo.

    The only solution is to find less obvious search terms, which in turn generate less traffic...so it seems like we're looking for that 1 in 1000 search term that has all the key criteria and isn't already snapped up.
    • [2] replies
    • Do exactly that. Buy one domain, make a 20+ page site and when you start to generate some income, buy another domain, build a 20+ page site, etc., etc. Reinvest your profit in your business to scale it up to be where you want it to be.

      I just did.

      Keyword research is the most important part of this and most IM business models. It is not as difficult as many make it out to be.

      Let me make a blanket statement here. There are PLENTY of keywords to go after. You need to focus on the longer tail keywords, and you can find plenty of them to fit the criteria necessary to use with this system.

      It is imperative that you think outside the box on this. When you search in ClickBank. The product owners will give you example keywords to use. These are keywords you might use to START your keyword research not to actually use. They are going to be either too competitive or over used.

      The secret to keyword research is to KEEP DIGGING!

      Niche and keyword over saturation is a myth. There is a TON of stuff out there for everyone here to make a fantastic living online, trust me on that one.

      As I stated before, this system works with keywords that have as little as 800 exact match searches per month. Remember you have 20+ pages that are each attracting at least 800 searches per month in Google. The idea is to have a site that is collecting all of this cumulative traffic organically.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • I have in the last week searched in 3 broad categories (within Health and Fitness) using the Google keyword Tool, which all have plenty of Clickbank products to sell.

      I started with just a fairly open search term eg 'exercise' and repeatedly dug down through the results. I now have a large number of niches, most with at least one available .com/org/net domain, with very low competition (top 4 results all PR2 or less) and exact searches in the 1,000s.

      Also, don't be put off just because the exact keyword match .com/org/net are taken, look into it a little, are they 'parked' domains or poorly thrown together ones, check to see which domains are ranking in the top 3 to 5 and figure out whether you reckon they're easy to surpass, in which case you start work on your site and take it to number 1!

      There are a lot of potential niches out there, even in the most competitive areas, though it sometimes seems like everything is taken ... but, that is all Mind Games which is often the hardest part of being in business yourself, having control of the gremlin that snickers at you and tells you it isn't possible, which isn't true. Get your mindset right and it will all happen, you can't have time for doubt, as Napoleon said, 'I see only the Objective. The Obstacle must give way.'

  • sure is mate.... but there are other venues to jump into as well, like, gheadshot... im quite happy with the $47 (front end product) content... i've not gone for the upsells yet, i still have the page open until i get the time to work on the stuff they show, and if it does work, then I will use the profits from that, to buy the upsell, then if that works, i'll buy hte next, and so on... i noticed that a review was made here stating that there were many of them, which made me put on the breaks and check the front end out first.

    Is there a harder type of keyword to rank, even following those numbers?

    If there are multiple brands selling that type of product, will that hurt my position?

    Examples: refrigerators, copy machine, etc. Because comparison sites, big brand stores, or brand name sites ("Samsung") appear at the search results page. Will they be too hard to beat in SEO? Even with 949 allintitle results and 11,800 "phrase" results? (it's non english market)

  • Gary and other MOBS people:

    Your example site of FeminineTattoos.biz is certainly ranked #1 for that keyword.
    But all of your other keywords in the sidebar are nowhere to be seen on the first page of Google Results.

    I didn't check them all, but I checked about 6 of them and none were even close to page 1 of the results.

    That's not exactly a successful site, is it?

    I am not knocking your system, BTW. I believe it is a good model. I am simply curious why you are using this as your example of success when you're only ranking for the primary keyword.

    My personal belief is that that keyword is an info-seeking keyword not a buying keyword.

    • That site was created as a test site for the M.O.B.S. system over a year ago. I created it and left it alone for over a year on purpose. I also created it in a very difficult niche to prove 2 points.

      1. 6 to 7 pages (not including the main page), ranked and still rank on Google's first page, without me building any backlinks to them at all. The rest were to be backlinked within the forum that was recently created for M.O.B.S. That's why I refer to it as a test site throughout this thread.

      2. After creation (in fact before it was completed), the site started to make sales and still continues to do so to this day. The point I wanted to illustrate here is that the system works so well regarding organic search engine traffic, that even a site that was created and then left alone has the ability to garnish over 400 organic hits per day, with the pages that do rank. Imagine what a site that has all the pages ranking on page 1 can do.

      I didn't really want that site to be talked about within this thread. Some people PM'd me about a example site and this is the one I had them look at. I think maybe one of my students might have mentioned it here.

      Oh well... anyway, that is the explanation as to why that site is the way it is.

      I invite you or anyone else to check out the page ranking for all the pages on that site in the next couple of months, after we maximize the site.

  • They dont need to be on the first page to get traffic

    and the tattoo biz is a popular niche, over a year old, hardly been touched.

    Hawaiian flower tattoos was one i worked on for Gary, was on page 5, now first page, was as high as 1st - 5th, but i haven't touched that for 3 weeks... and it's still on page one and it's still making him 1-3 sales every other day...

  • It's LOZ...

    I will reserve my thoughts on Traffic Travis... A free tool can only do so much.

    Any tool that Jon Leger comes out with, you should get!
    Any traffic generation tool or research tool that Brad Callen comes out with, you should get... these are the only two ppl i know in the SEO industry who know what they are talking about and the only software that I know of that produces the results!

    p.s
    I'm referring to software, unless you want to get link liberation.

      And I know a few more people (than just John Leger and Brad Callen) in SEO industry who know what they're talking about and aren't just creaming it for their bank accounts, without caring about the suckers paying for outdated/useless information. Although I'd agree they're few and far between


  • gpower2 this is such a great thread. I plan on making mini sites just like you. I do have a question though, isn't it hard to get backlinks to all of your different keywords to rank in google?
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • gpower2's name is GARY guys

    Lorenzmac, nah, getting backlinks is the easiest thing to do.
    But it depends on what level / quality of links you want, is the question... quality links, high powered links are the hardest, and more time consuming.

    One's best bet is to earn as much as they can and re-invest it back into their SEO business, create a large network of COMMUNITY sites, AUTHORITY sites on a particular niche, etc, host them at different data centers across the globe, different ip addresses, then you can CONTROL the manner in which links are retrieved from.
  • Your strategy is very similar to Affiloblueprint by Mark Ling. Either way, this is definitely a solid strategy to earning a consistent income online.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • This type of system has been around for years. I first became aware of something similar from reading a thread on Sitepoint 3-4 years ago and then the same guy wrote about a similar system on his blog. But Gary has a much better system from the looks. I have had some WP sites setup but Gary has shown me what I'm doing wrong from reading this thread. Trouble is I hate all this keyword stuff, I prefer just to build a web page and if the traffic comes so be it, I don't like reading stuff myself where I pick up that the author is trying to promote keywords. I have started to redo some of my blogs, I think the key thing I have learned here is to make them less bloggy So I'm turning posts into pages etc, not sure if the left nav thing is too important but will change some.... I need to check the videos out too, sounds good. Who cares if Gary makes money from getting traffic to his blog from this, well deserved and there is no reason to be worried about that. We all want to make money and if we can help people at the same time then ALL is good. I try to focus on subjects for my websites that offer to help people or the world in some way, things like organic foods, eco products etc.

    I do wonder how long this system will last before google spits it out as it does with anything like this once it becomes popular...
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • [1] reply
    • I think that the thing with this method is that it can actually provide what Google wants, real information from a site that has multiple pages, not just a single page designed for Adsense or affiliate, but for a niche that would maybe get a bit lost within an authority site.

      The feminine tattoo is a prime example, it benefits from being that focussed, rather than being lost amongst the massive world of tattoos, yet has enough different aspects to be explored in a niche.

      Google seems to have a bizarre take on things sometimes, but can't see that it would make sense to strike off sites like this, if it is what those searching wish to find.

    • [1] reply
    • for sure...

      older the domain, more content you add, the more of that share you'll receive... concentrate on making it an authority site, concentrate on making good content, you'll end up getting more traffic by having others referring your link to others

  • I have a big question that I know will be a source of debate.

    Gary - your example site is a .biz
    Yet you rank #1 for the keyword.

    In your strategy how to you select the URL? Do you think exact match matters more than top level domain extension?

    The answer to this applies to pretty much every business model that relies on organic traffic, so I'm curious on your take, AND how you arrived at your conclusion.

    Thoughts very much appreciated. You have been very generous in this thread.

    (As a starter, my research here on WF shows that, apparently, Matt Cutts says TLD does not matter at all. I haven't found him quoted saying that anywhere myself yet).
    • [1] reply
    • In the interest of keeping things simple, using my method, I simply find my niche (in this case tattoos), then find by sub-niche, which will be my main page (and domain name) keyword (feminine tattoos in this example.)

      My main page (and domain name) keyword, will be based on it's generality within my chosen niche, along with it's monthly searchability, as well as it's ranking manageability. This criteria has already been mentioned within this thread.

      I have found that regardless of the suffix I choose for my domain name, it will still rank well because of the overall power of the system.

      I rely on exact match criteria and don't pay attention to TLD at all.

      Hope this helps,

      Gary
  • Gary - Yes it helps a lot.


    So lets say you were going after the "outdoor knitting" niche

    Assume OutdoorKnitting.com and .net and .org were taken.

    Would you generally buy either:

    1) OutdoorKnitting.biz (or whatever)
    2) MyOutdoorKnitting.com (has the exact phrase, but is .com)

    I'm assuming you go with #1
    Can you elaborate on what led you to conclude that TLD doesn't matter?

    I did a bit more digging just now and it seems Matt Cutts was quoted on some panels saying that .info is associated to more spam, and although the original algorithm paid no attention to TLD, there is no assurance it won't happen.

    But maybe, to your point, with correct on-page SEO the difference doesn't matter enough.
    • [1] reply
    • You are correct, I would go with #1

      Yes, I have found that with the correct on page SEO (and proper internal linking), the difference doesn't matter enough.
  • Hey Gary - one more question that I don't think anyone asked yet:

    You described the method you use to select "alternate keywords", ie, minimum 800 searches per month and less than 30k competing results.

    But what's the method for verifying "ability to compete" on the primary keyword?

    I've usually looked at average PR of the top 10 results, number of competing pages, and I also have an unscientific "eye ball it" approach where I look at the quality of the top 10 to see if any crap sites have ranked (it's a good sign that any "good" site should outrank it).

    What's your method?
    • [2] replies
    • Don't worry too much about this. If you have done your keyword research and results manageability right, you won't have much problem in competing in the SERPS
      • [1] reply
    • Just curious Chris, do you also check your data anywhere else?

      I have used numerous tools but am finding the best tool is just looking at the top results. I am also not concerned about the number of results. If the top is weak to medium I can compete.

      One thing I do look at is how much I can make. If it is an Adsense site for example, I check the Adwords Tool and get the CPC. Then I use a formula to calculate my monthly potential.

  • Thanks Gary - that's exactly the added info I was after from you. I think the answer makes a lot of sense.

    I like how your model lends itself to any type of product such as physical (Amazon, CJ, etc) and digital (CB).

    Some keywords in the niche may be specific product keywords, for example, and you would be able to add product-specific pages to such a site easily. Product keywords and niche keywords can probably co-exist on a single domain.

  • Guys, you should really be saving this info.

    I use this site to save the stuff that REALLy grabs my attention, like this thread - PDFmyURL.com - Free & Online: Convert and save PDF from any web page

    GREAT stuff. Save it!
    • [ 2 ] Thanks
    • [1] reply
    • Here's another idea: I like to save the most important parts to a .doc file, and then print it, so I can always have it at reach in front of my computer.

      When I have different windows open, like Goggle key tool, name cheap, etc., I always have the most important aspects to be reminded printed in front of me. The front page is just for the most important keyword comparison rules, so I don't go and register crap like I used to many times.
  • Ive been following this thread since its begining and taking action on it....
    I understand the main core of this system is keyword analysis, Its essential...The guidelines Gary gave on it are great...but one have to work on them hard to find the gold nuggets...so from the recomendation of askloz I bought webcompanayst software to help me out on that and now I have 5 keywords that match the criteria.....got my website all set with my domain, wordpress and I even bought a famous SEO Plugin to help me with the on site optimization...but now the hard part is to write the content....20-30 articles seems like alot of work plus I dont have enough keywords to build so many articles...

    what if I build 2 articles of 400-500 words per keyword only?

    Also can someone point me into the right direction to where I can outsource my content creation...since I think is kinda risky to outsource your content by revealling your keywords that you worked so hard to find...
    as anyone tried this company?
    theseoarticles dot com (cant post links yet)

    • [1] reply
    • I mention this a couple of times within this thread. Too many variables to consider in answering this question intelligently.

      The system allows that some pages you create rank on Google's first page without you doing any backlinking at all. As for the pages that don't, assuming you did the keyword and competition research properly, it shouldn't take very many backlinks at all for you to rank on the first page of Google.

    • I use a reseller account for my hosting. Initially, I was using the gator package with add on domains which was a great deal. Then after adding so many domains, I found it very confusing. Finally after attempting to install a data feed on one of my domains, (and making a mess of it), a very helpful fellow warrior took a look and suggested I upgrade to a reseller account. It is not very expensive and I found it just simplified everything for me.
      Keep in mind, at the time, I was very new and everything confused me. That was less than a year ago. I now have over 120 sites. I've also sold a few sites and the reseller account is nice because I can give the buyer 6 months of free hosting which makes the site more attractive. The whole hosting thing seemed so complicated to me when I first started and I will forever be grateful to that one guy that said, "Man, go get a reseller account, this is a mess, no wonder you are confused!" LOL
      If anyone else is confused like I was, feel free to PM me. It's like one fellow marketer told me when I just was not getting it "You're drowning in a half a glass of water!"
      Thank you for the great info. My sites have started making money, but I see lots of room for improvement using the info you have provided. Looks like some good solid SEO. Thanks for being so generous with your ideas. This forum is priceless for someone like me who is still learning.

  • In order to penetrate the online market, one needs to become competitive in terms of their virtual store, which is their website. One should keep in mind that there are various sites that are also hungry to have clicks, which could also be operating the same business as yours. In such way, one needs to set an edge that includes promoting sites and taking good care of your content.

    Using backlinks has been very effective in terms of directing a searcher to your site. Moreover, having backlinks from high-ranking sites will eventually be more credible. Backlinks are believed to strongly influence a sites in terms of gaining page ranks. However good sounding it is, there is also a limit in terms of backlinking. Anything more than a hundred is considered dangerous and might brought a de-indexed site.

    A home-based backlinking or site promotion may not get too intense as these, yet it's good to have an experienced to effectively rank your site. If one is thinking of hiring a page ranker guy, it should still come in moderation.

    unfortunately i then experienced the opposite emotion... one of sadness and "disappointment" to say the least, as your purchase page cynically tried to upsell me, immediately, on an ongoing monthly membership, BEFORE i had even gotten to the download link for the product i'd only just bought, seconds before... how on earth am i supposed to know whether or not i want a monthly membership to a 'club' on something i haven't yet received the base product of?..

    this exposes an utter contempt for customers, who can't possibly have evaluated the product, and a huge self-serving interest in rifling through their wallet in a desperate attempt to simply extract yet more money from them, regardless...

    good luck with your business... i fear you have been reading too many of the spammy internet marketers and simply copying some of their selling techniques of 'questionable morality'... this is a great shame as you originally struck me as a nice guy with something to say, i strongly advise you to urgently review your selling 'techniques'... i'm out

    • Domain names cost me less than $10 per year. My hosting runs about $100 per month (give or take), only because I have several different hosting accounts. In theory, you could have most of your sites hosted on one or two domains, costing you less than $30 per month or so.

      Thank you for initially understanding my true intentions in posting this thread.

      I would have to strongly disagree with you on the latter part of your message.

      First of all, this thread was started to give back to my fellow Warriors in hope that they could adopt the system I have outlined for free within this thread. Yes, I happen to have a link to my system within my signature, however, I dare say that most everyone else on this forum does as well.

      I want to specifically address your point about my M.O.B.S. system in general, if one decides to look into it further. If you decide to invest, you will have immediate access to a VERY thorough manual (almost 100 pages) and accompanying videos to fill in the blanks. This is ALL YOU NEED to succeed with the system!

      I repeat, THIS IS ALL YOU NEED!

      The single upsell you speak of (mind you, I have NOTHING else, no back end, no cross sells, no downsells, no exit pop ups, etc.), is only there as a way to outsource the business IF you want to. For example, if you work another job, or just want to spend more time scaling up the business instead of doing the busy work. I only put this in place because of the demand for such resources.

      I am a bit taken back by your comments especially because of all of the crap that's out there these days regarding all of the crazy tactics you speak of. So much so that I have actually lost money in launching my product strictly because I DON'T believe in spammy marketing tactics to promote your business and/or product. I am totally O.K. with that, because I remain true to my MOBSter community and I sleep better at night. Anyone who knows me understands this.

      That said, You don't have to purchase my system. My methods are laid out here within this thread for the most part.

      It's a shame how people jump to these negative conclusions about my intentions. Have we really become all that jaded?

      To your success,

    • You do not have to use photoshop either. There are free tools online that you can download that work quite well. I use 3 tools and combine them paint.net is one of them. I do have one photoshop tool (adobe photoshop elements 7.0), but seldom use it, because the free tools are so easy to use and do enough to satisfy my needs.
      Just Google for free illustration tools and you will find all that you will need.
      The only time that you may want to create a persona on a site like Gary is sharing, is if it is an interactive blog site, which these are not. These sites do not have posts, they have pages, and are static like a standard website, so there is no need to have a real or fictitious person displayed on the site. It would probably only distract from the content and intent of the site.

      I have seen this method before and have quite a few videos and manuals that teach this method, but not exactly the same way as Gary's MOBS is doing. I am taking what I already know and implementing this method into it and see what unfolds.

      Hey, if it does not work or if Google decides to penalize this type of site construction sometime in the future, I can always change the format to comply. It is not like I will lose my domains.

      Thanks Gary for the great thread.

    • [1] reply
    • Yes, go to Google.com to type in your keyword (in quotes), to determine the initial competition results to look for.

      Don't forget the allintitle query to get a better idea of your real keyword (and website) competition in the SERPS.

      Example: Type into Google allintitle: "Your Keyword", in quotes. This will give you an idea of websites that include your keyword in their title tags. It will give you a more accurate indication of who you're REALLY competing with.

      Remember, I like 30,000 or less in competing results (when dong the Google search), and 10,000 or less when doing the allintitle query.

  • I am already working on the similar kind of strategy but after reading your notes i got some more good idea and improvement.Thank you for sharing great stuff.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • This is a great method and I'd like to use something like this to develop and sell my own products.

    For those of you using this method, including Gary before he started outsourcing, how often do you check your sites ranking in the search engines? Is there a set schedule that you check them (say every 2 weeks, or once a month) or do you just check them randomly to see if they are still in tact.

    • PM sent.

      I buy 1 domain for every site I build, I just add them as add-on domains to my HostGator account, so I don't have to pay for hosting for each one.

      I usually check them once a month. I would rather busy myself with more site creation.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks

  • What kind of domains do you use? Have you invested in premium names, bought them from the after market or hand registered most of them?

    How long have you had these sites for, I mean, are they new or a few yrs old.

    I'm sorry if you've already addressed these issues somewhere in this thread...

    Thanks,
    Aditya

    • I hand register all of them. They need to be domain names that are keyword related that have been researched before hand using my specific criteria.

      My sites are from 2 years old to brand new.
  • Very Cool information..

    Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. I learned something better today. Thanks.

  • A lot of really awesome information in this thread - thanks to Gary for starting it, and to everybody else who has contributed, as well.

    One question though (I will say that I just skimmed/perused a good chunks of the thread, so if this was covered and I missed it, please just say so)...

    Is anybody using this strategy to point back to sales pages for their own products (stuff that they've created) and their own sites?

    If so, is your call to action on the articles pointing to the actual product pitch page, or a squeeze page?

    I'm sure the blogs will have an opt-in form somewhere, of course. But for the actual call to action what would be your recommendation?

    I am actually setting up a small network of blogs as a test for this kinda thing myself (will actually be testing a number of things). Was wondering if anybody had any experience on the result on overall conversion by driving traffic to a squeeze page (in which they get a freebie - in my case a video that not only educates but 'sells' the benefit that my articles promote - followed by a pitch for my product - in my case, directly under the video) vs directly to just a pitch.

    Thanks.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks

    • Lot's of questions intertwined here...

      First let me state that yes, I have built M.O.B.S. sites that link to products I have created. In my case, there have been sales (pitch) pages, so I link directly to them.

      This is not to say, however, that you can't link to a squeeze page, but it depends on the situation.

      Traditionally, I have used squeeze pages (video, or otherwise), that give away FREE stuff to help with list building, and /or to promote a product of mine. I typically drive traffic directly to my squeeze pages through other means, although I suppose you could do it organically with a M.O.B.S. site.

      In my opinion, they are different approaches to two different things.

      My system, as outlined within this thread, is primarily an affiliate marketing method. I also combine opt-in forms on my M.O.B.S. sites as the niches allow, to build lists for the niche(s) in question.

      I hope this helps to answer your questions...

      What's up I've been in the system for a few days now and I must say
      Gary and Loz has really over delivered videos are great not to long easy
      to follow which is very important cuts back on the boredom, the forum
      is a little tricky to get around but that you would expect being they're
      just getting started people are posting similar things in different areas
      but that will straighten itself out as things move along but if you've been
      in forums before you'll figured it out and I will give cudo's to Gary, Loz,
      J Smith and Peter Sundstrom for answering questions quickly you guys are
      really doing a great job in there. I know I missed a few of you guys but

  • I also bought Gary's ebook as training material. If you are a newbie it will help you because he goes through EVERYTHING. If you are experienced you can skip lots of the "how to set up wordpress" and stuff like that.

    Gary - good job. One thing I suggest is you issue an update PDF document to cover off the differences in the Google Keyword tool now that it has changed. Many keyword search values are way lower than before and I'm seeing most search terms are 1/3 to 1/2 of the "old" values.

    Anyway, the ebook is solid. That said this thread contains literally everything you need to know (and Gary has said this himself), so you definitely don't need to buy the book if you are reading everything that's here.

    • Chris sorry for the dumb question,but why are the new GKT values different and how do you think that affects the technique in Gary's book?

      thanks
    • Hi Chris, thanks for your kind words.

      The Google Adwords Keyword Tool changed right after I wrote the manual

      To compensate, I created a video within the members area (any M.O.B.S. member can access this), that goes over how to use the new tool exclusively.
  • What is the success rate ratio/percentage for sites that turn a profit as opposed to ones that don't?...thanks
    • [1] reply
    • @imageworx - This answer is relative to your situation. I consider 100% of my sites successful and profitable.

      If I have a site that makes one $25 sale a month, and have 100 sites like that, I have an extra $2500 per month that I didn't have before, right?

      That said, these sites typically do much better than that of course, so considering the only investment being your hosting per month (if you choose to pay monthly), and your domain costs (ex: once a year), you can see that the odds are tremendously in your favor.

      The only common denominator is you and if you are willing to take action on a proven online money making method.
  • Great post. I do a lot of work in the offline marketing world. What strikes me is how many of these excellent strategies could be applied, in miniature, by bricks-and-mortar business as an adjunct to standard marketing. There's still a largely unbridged golf between the online and offline marketing worlds.

    • I was thinking that too - I thought of an example of offline SEO, when companies call themselves AAAAA Widgets just to be first in the phonebook Well, it works, and Google can't do a thing about it!
  • Gary, I have about 5 niche sites setup now. Some seem to rank well in Google, but i'm not getting anywhere near the amount of traffic I need to see the sales.

    Does your programme have a one to one coaching aspect that would help?
    • [1] reply
    • Yes, hard to diagnose what the obstacles might be. As a Gold member of our M.O.B.S. Club, you would have personal one on one access to me and other M.O.B.S. trainers to help address any problems you would encounter when building your online business with this system.
      • [1] reply
  • Looking at this from another perspective... marketing online for 3+ years.. isn't the same as being an expert in blog software for 3 + years. Also, if we don't ask how do we learn? It is much better to ask what is the best blog platform and to have all that worked out rather than pretend you already know without researching. I have been working online since 1996 but I have only just realized in last 2 years that Wordpress is an ideal system. I have only just realized from this thread a lot of other things too. We learn all the time....
    • [1] reply
    • This is so true. I remember seeing posts in here many years ago, remember them.... stuff like "blogger or wordpress?" and oh have we come a long way since then.

      If you know how to use wordpress, then install it and go for it. If you dont know how to use wordpress, then get someone else to install it and go for it. simple really.
  • This sounds exactly what I've been looking for and from the rave reviews it's getting here it sounds like I'm not alone. So I just got done signing up for the M.O.B.S. system and the VERY first screen I get is a message from Gary telling me if I'm REALLY serious about making money with this system I need to sign up for the "Gold" membership at $67/month. Excuse me?

    I'm still excited about the system, but a little less excited about the sales tactics. What happens after I sign up for the Gold membership? Do I then need to sign up for the "Platinum" system if I'm REALLY REALLY serious about making money online?
    • [1] reply

    • $67 is a really piddly amount for the level of help. Many people would charge double this for one hour of help.

      In my past life as a salesman i've paid over $900 a month for some one to one training.
  • So to clarify, your using wordpress domains like mydomain.wordpress.com?

      The obvious answer to your question is, one site at a time.
  • Thanks for the Info,but 150 websites is that attainaible! for one person,i'd like to know how you developed to 150 cos thats pretty large
  • My apologies to Gary. My comment wasn't meant to be upsetting. As I stated, I'm very excited about the opportunities M.O.B.S. presents and I think it's well worth every penny of the fee. In fact, I think the Gold membership may well be worth every penny of the monthly fee.

    My point (and my ONLY point) was that your brand new customer is hit with an upsell pitch before he/she ever has a chance to sample the wares that he/she has just purchased. It's like taking delivery of a new car and before you're even handed the keys the salesman hits you up with a new pitch for options that will make your new car better...maybe legit, but bad timing. Sure takes the thrill out of the purchase.

    To anybody out there that took this as a negative comment on M.O.B.S. - nothing could be further from the truth. I just finished the first 25 pages of the manual and I'm very impressed with the thoroughness and clarity with which Gary covers the issues. As a complete newbie, I'm grateful for his approach. In fact, I'm now more convinced than ever that this is something I'll profit handsomely from.

    Onward Gary.

  • Great info and thanks for sharing. Can anyone lend advice on what type of hosting is besnt t for this strategy? Is a hosting that can add unlimited domains under same plan OK or does Google and other engines figure out they are all hosted on same account?

    Or is it better to get a reseller hosting account where you can truly set up each site/blog as a separate site?

    Hope this makes sense! I'm wanting to use the Hostgator account sale, but did not know what type of hosting would be best for SERP and rankings etc.

    • Hi Chris,

      I can only speak for what has worked for me. I use HostGator's "baby plan", and haven't had any issues with adding M.O.B.S. sites as add-on domains for ranking or otherwise.

      I will typically use a HostGator account for about 50 websites before opening up another account. No reason specifically, it's just what I do.

      So far, so good...

      BTW, Happy Thanksgiving to all you guys!

  • Thanks for the response and information. Have seen a few posts where posters are saying to avoid putting all domains on one account, but most like you say have not had a problem. Just trying to get a feel for how to set this thing up from the get go to be successful like everyone here.

    • Yes, I have. If I am promoting a physical product, it usually doesn't require as much persuasion, hence the use of less words. Depending on the keyword and ranking manageability, they have both ranked well with and without backlinking.

      I no longer write my own content in order to be more efficient with my business. In the beginning I did, because money was more of an issue.
  • wonderful post and yes it really works - something extra you can do with these sites is that you can collect leads by simply plugging in a lead-capture form - in any niche and then later do 2 things with those leads:

    1 - Market them your own Products Over & Over Again
    2 - Market them Affiliate Products Over & Over Again
    3 - Add Value by providing Free Content & Build Relationships
    4 - Sell those leads to the BIG Guys with HIGH-TICKET and HIGH-VALUE products in that Niche !!!

    Hope this helps :-) Also - you can find out an auto-blogging software but one that really works and is not a piece of a crap. I'm testing one now a days and will put up the results once I'm done testing every aspect of it.

  • Wow, I just spent the better part of 45 minutes digesting this thread and the tidbits of information contained throughout. This thread along with ththread by LMC really point out an extremely effective method of creating a very lucrative online business.

    Several years ago I had almost 300 websites online all earning a combined 5 figures from adsense every month. Unfortunately it was new ground for me and I failed to take precautions to include developing a sound/solid internal linking structure.

    Additionally I was not heavily researching my keyword phrases when building these sites because quite honestly it was easy as pie to send traffc to the sites using article marketing. Long story short is proper keyword research combined with a strong internal linking foundation and an even stronger backlinking system builds a very profitable online empire.

    This thread and LMC's thread really break down the nuts and bolts into building such a system......really wish these type of threads had existed about 4 years ago as they truly make life much easier for today's online marketer that is willing to put some effort into proper research and a strong concentrated work effort.

I realize that nothing E Z is worth doing but as an over the road trucker where time is not only hard to come by but unscheduled and impossible to make any commitment to anything needing consistency! I tired SBI or Site build it before and would recommend that to anyone but the time and effort it took was to much for me given my occupation.
    Would this be different?....HOW?
    • [1] reply
    • Most definitely this is different, with this type of system you can plan your site out before hand, once you have the keyword that you are targeting for your main page. You then need to decide which keywords you will target for your 19 other pages, but first buy the domain name with your main keyword in the title.

      Next you can work on content for your keywords. If you do not have time to write it then you can outsource it or you can use PLR as a starting point and rewrite the content infusing it with the targeted keyword.

      For someone that is already familiar with WP and content writing then it can be done in a day or two. If you take longer in writing content and placing your keyword into it then it can take longer, but still it can be accomplished in a weeks time. After finding your keywords your articles are going to take the longest to complete once you get used to setting up the sites.

      You do not have to publish all of the pages immediately. You can publish one page at a time, three at a time, or all of them at once if you are a proficient writer.

      After you are really accustomed to the methods and steps involved you might be able to set up more than one site a day. It is not unheard of to do this, especially if you have thousands of articles already stored on your computer, like I do. Then the only time consuming process will be the niche keyword searches. Next products to market.

      Some people prefer to find the product first and work the other way, finding keywords using Gary's method, and then building the articles (pages) around the keywords with the product linked to from 2-3 places within the page.
  • A few important comments.

    First of all, this thread should be a huge lesson to everyone about the power of giving stuff away. Gary handed you a complete business model. You do NOT need to buy his course or his membership to put it to use. I know because I bought it and there isn't much more in there vs this thread.

    So he has given away a lot of info and helped people here.

    Wanna bet this thread is helping him rake in sales? For sure it is, whether or not that was the plan. And, BTW I think this is the most ethical form of marketing you can possibly have.

    The recipe:

    First tell your story and explain your business model almost entirely.
    Then offer more help.
    This makes people like you, and on top of that it kicks in the rule of reciprocity.

    Then, tell people they don't NEED your paid system (truthful).
    Combine the fact that people now like Gary with reciprocity and gereral laziness (easier to own a manual than scour 10 pages of this thread for info nuggets)

    It all leads to sales and nobody feels pressured. If anything we take massive ownership for our decision to buy.

    Anyway that's what I wanted to say. That and I'm surprised anyone would complain about the gold membership. Don't want it don't buy it. No reason to come here and bitch about it.

  • Wow! What a bunch of complainers have begun to show up on this thread.
    Gary began this thread by contributing more than most WFO threads.

    Anyone with a little intelligence will derive more than they need to just from reading everything on this thread. They can choose to purchase the eBook or even become a member if they want to, but the truth is that Gary has given out everything that anyone with a little smarts can use to expand their online income or begin online.

    Why does everyone have to see wrong in marketing?

    It may be because there are some (many) marketers online that focus all of their attention on grabbing money from newbies without care to what they sell or give away, but here you have someone that is giving away more than most demand a payment for and...

    All I can say is that Gary deserves many kudos for what he has given out and all of the information in the responses that he has revealed.

    And..., if you can not see this, and still want to believe that it is all self motivated for personal gain, then you have missed out on all of it, and you do not deserve any of the information.

    All I want to do is thank Gary for starting this thread and sharing what he has learned with all of us.
    I have been marketing online since 2006 and I have never revealed my secrets or methods like this.

    I write for a few sites and share parts of my knowledge but not everything. So this is very incredible what Gary has done.

    He should be applauded for this SHARE.

    I have encountered the same thing over the last two years. I have tried to explain in simple terns to so many people what is required to succeed, and out of thousands only twelve have understood. So, I gave up and started sending everyone to an affiliate site, like any good marketer will do.

    Like any good marketer I also know that if I became an affiliate for Gary I would have the same results.

    What I am saying is that there is enough for anyone that wants or desires to learn how to become successful within this thread and Gary has handed it to you for free.

    You have to take notes and then apply everything that you have noted.

    And after you have some success you should come back to this thread and thank Gary and everyone that has been supporting him.

  • I have a question I was hoping someone could answer.

    Is it bad to have that many sites on the same IP? I mean could google deindex all of your sites just because they dont like you have so many different niche sniper sites?

    I have around 80 sites right now and use two different hosting accounts and the same domain account.

    SHould I diversify even more?
  • Hey Gary

    Awesome thread you got here.
    I myself created a few 5-page sites way
    back in January and I have not touched
    them since then, I still get a check from
    Google every single month

    I was wondering how you determine if the
    keyword is "a selling keyword"?

    That is, are people buying stuff using that
    keyword or are they just looking for free info.

    Cheers
    Heimir
    • [1] reply
    • You have to get a feeling for the difference between a keyword and a "buying" keyword.

      Generally speaking, a more general keyword may be utilized when a consumer is doing research before purchasing. People who are gathering information and/or doing research are NOT in the buying mode.

      You have to catch them when they are ready to buy.

      For example: The keyword "snoring", would be used when searching for (doing research to find) a solution.

      The keyword "stop snoring devices", is the keyword you use to search when you want to strangle (not literally ) your spouse because of their snoring, and you want to BUY the solution.

      Make sense?

  • I've just finished reading this entire thread (over the period of two days) and have to say THANK YOU to Gary for posting his system in the first place, and to all those who have contributed to it by answering questions about how the system works.

    The one thing I've realized, having actually read the entire thread, is that Gary really has given us everything we need to know in order to make it work. So Thanks Gary, not only for posting the system, but for being willing to take the time to answer all the questions.

    • I have been following this forum for a few days and would like to thank the authors for their revelations.

      I would just like to ask some questions about finding a niche etc.

      I spend days, weeks, seeking sets of keywords that meet the required criteria.

      Surprised that you feel there are still plenty of opportunities as "mined out" seems a pretty good description of the phrases I have found.

      The major programs like Market Samurai, Traffic Travis, Micro Niche finder and Googles KWST all focus on finding low competition keywords. And you say "forget the competition" just go for 800+ exact match keywords with less than 30,000 competition?? Surely many of the competitors are high page rank sites which in a million years you will not topple....like Amazon, Ebay etc.

      Are you serious? If so, it undermines what the analyses tools are saying?

      And you say focus on "buying words" Well I agree but aren't they high OCI (Online Commercial Intent)words. Yes I know you can get a "feel" for them but OCI is pretty accurate too? Microniche finder uses.

      And to say you can write an authority site, in a day or less, including finding a niche, doing kw research, writing and posting 20 pages of articles, doing backlinks etc, is mind blowing! Researching and writing an information rich article on something you know little about, takes me at least 2 1/2 hours per article alone.

      And then you say some people can do it all in hours?? Its pretty amazing.

      But what I really want to ask is, how do you find unmined niches with qualifying keywords in wanted markets and find clickbank and hard products that are appropriate that havent been advertised to death?

      It amazes me that people still find opportunities in dog training with a million people targetting this niche?

      Sorry for the exasperation shining through. I have spent months creating an authority site, battled my way to no 2 and am staggered to find no traffic. Even though everything met the criteria of low competition keywords. The exact match searches were around 100 a month but broad 4500.

      Appreciate your comment.

    • That's cool that you spent two days reading the posts. My question to you is (and I hope you don't mind me asking) - what are you going to put into action over the next 7 days?

  • That was some great information, you really got me thinking.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • WOW!! What an amazing thread, that was definitely worth reading!!

    I have a question, are the only monetize methods that you use Clickbank and Amazon?

    I am interested in this system, pm sent
    • [ 1 ] Thanks

    • Thank you.

      Absolutely not. You can use any number of affiliate networks currently available.

      ClickBank, Amazon, NeverBlue, Commission Junction, PepperJam Network, Market Leverage, E-Bay, the list goes on and on...

  • so, are these mini-websites actually useful to people? what do they consist of? do they just have google adsense sprinkeld all over them or do you put affiliate links in there?
    • [2] replies
    • Of course these sites are useful to people (that's why they rank well and stay ranked well.)

      I don't use Adsense on my sites.

      They have affiliate links within them, usually contained within a call to action or if a review site, a direct link to the product and/or system.

      ... on second thought, I will PM you with an example.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • I guess if someone has taken the time to find a niche that people are searching for and need an answer for, then the site could be a really useful site.
  • Thanks for an excellent thread, I am sure this will help most of the newbies to get doing some productive thing and it will also give them confidence over the today's highly scattered IM that purely require patience and hard work without loosing hope.

    Thanks

  • Thank You, Gary for such an informative post and double-thanks for taking the time -- all the way through this thread -- to come back and answer questions and give explanations. I look forward to putting this method to use.

    One question, please? Could you explain your reasoning for putting the nav links on the left rather than right side? I know a few people asked earlier but did not see your answer (unless I just missed it).

    Lee

    • In my experience (and testing), I get a better click through rate based on the links being in the left sidebar. It has something to do with people naturally reading from left to right.

  • Hi Gary
    First off I wanna thank you one more time for this thread...
    Since the first time I read your first post on it I got inspired and took action...Im making a mini-authority site, I invested in a keyword research tool recommended within this thread and I have 15 keywords that match the criteria and Im pretty sure I can rank well WITH THE RIGHT CONTENT...
    However its taking me forever to write my 15 artciles and make them make sense in the overall of the site...I made already 7 of them, however I want to outsource the rest of them...few days ago you kindly gave me in a PM the link to the writing service where u oputsource your content creation,
    I will definitely do it, but before to pull the trigger I would really appreciate your tips about how you give them your instructions to make your articles in order to make a good authority site that doesnt sound too salesly and aims to be helpful to the visitor without overlook the SEO optimization...how many keywords per article you give them to write on? you use some kind of logic about the series of articles you outsource (like for example you say to them: "make a 20 pages story or tutorial with this keywords, one per page")? Would they be able to come up with that? you give them the tiltes? oh my so many questions on this thing,beacuse as I write my own content I realize is not that easy to just come up with a bunch of articles just to stuff my miniauthority site with keywords...I want my ministe to be helpful to the visitor beacuse Im sure that will be translated in more rate conversion...
    I would really appreciate your orientation regarding the instruction u usually give to the writing services u use...

    Thank you again Gary

    • You are most welcome.

      Great job in taking action (most don't even get that far.)

      I will answer you generally here, and also send you a PM of a M.O.B.S. site so you can see a live example of what your content can look like.

      Each page is to be optimized around a chosen keyword. I like to have the keyword saturation be between 2 to 4% or so (for SEO purposes.) To make it simple, ask your content writer to write in your keyword every 60 - 75 words or so. Also point out that you would like 5-10 LSI keywords sprinkled in throughout the content.

      Using the new Google Adwords Keyword Tool, these additional keywords are already provided within the results you are getting when searching for your keyword(s). They don't need to have any criteria per se, you are only looking to get extra visitors when they happen across your site(s) by searching for these LSI keywords.

      Further, the content itself can be written as a review for a product (mostly for physical product sites), or as a personal story of yours as it relates to a particular product or system, a history about a product or keyword, or just good old fashioned general information about a keyword.

      The idea here is that you are pre-selling, NOT selling. That is the job of the sales page that people will eventually click through to.

      Hope this helps CiberEmprendedor,

      Gary

  • Hi Guys,

    Sorry Gary don't want to intrude on your fab thread - but just wanted to tell everyone that I have found a great guy to do keyword research on the forum should anyone need help with this for their mobs sites.

    Just pm me and I'll send you the thread link. Hope this helps y'all.

    Regards,
    Barbara
  • Thanks for the Info! I'll have to try some what you suggest.
  • Finding a good product or item to promote is easy if you keep your eyes open everyday. Two good examples are watching the ads in Sundays paper. If the big boys are promoting something there is a good chance there's a very good reason. I've gotten many a good product idea from those ads. Another way to find products is to look around when you go shopping and see what people are buying. Muldane methods for sure but they work.

    I always write things down when I see them to go and do the research later when I have time. I usually have a list of 10-15 items waiting to be checked out.

    Not all are winners but many come to frutation. Don't overthink your methods, it will just keep you from taking action. If I find that one doesn't pay off as well as I wanted, I just sell it since they all make some money.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks


  • We are now 10 pages in and I just want to ask ...

    "which bit of Gary's information have you put into action?"

    Gary is a top top man and as you can see he has answered most questions thrown back at him.

    I feel stirred to encourage the readers to put this into action.

    It works. It really does.

    • Question for Gary --- (and yes, I do know that a lot of questions have been asked already and that it's important to implement, but the fact remains that this is a useful thread and many people can benefit from ongoing insight for specific issues that are not the usual whiny newbie mewling.)

      So here is my question: for the 20+ internal pages, do you still want to see 800 or or more exact searches and the other criteria met for all those keywords? Or can you be more flexible and still have those pages show up on Page 1 of Google?

      Thanks for your help!

  • Hi Gary,

    I'm commented on this thread before, but I wanted to ask something that crossed my mind.

    Personally, I've been running sites like yours for a while now and I make some nice money each month with them. The only main difference is that I basically only use Amazon as the affiliate program. I've looked into using CJ for some products, but honestly Amazon has been able to blow their prices out of the water on every single occasion so far (at least for the niches that I've done sites for). I guess I was just surprised to find out that you do it the opposite way because I was never able to find anything worthy from those sites for physical products. Do you find that it's just certain types of products that are priced better with those websites or is it just the coupon code that ends up making them priced lower?

    Thanks,
    Ryan
    • [1] reply
    • This is kind of difficult to answer comprehensively because there are so many variables to consider.

      I like Amazon for physical products too. I do mostly informational products because of my sales and marketing background (you have to be a bit more persuasive when promoting informational products.)

      Regarding physical products, the other affiliate networks have good products for certain keywords and/or situations, and it really depends on your niche too.
  • Hi, first of all, this is a great thread and there is some priceless info here.

    I have a question... I tried searching the thread but didn't find this specific question.

    What do you do regarding Amazon/Nextag/ConsumerReports ranking as #1/2 for your keywords? Generally, they will have zero or very few backlinks, and Amazon will be ranking for some random product but Nextag seems to have category pages for a lot of specific niche keywords, like "blue widgets" (or whatever) and are ranking strictly on their domain authority but have the keyword in the title/description/etc. If ConsumersReports is up there, they've usually SEO'd for that keyword, I've found.

    I've found a niche I'd like to go after with your system-- the majority of the keywords are dominated by authority type sites ranking because of their domain, and not at all because they are targeting the keywords. I'm just wondering if it's suicide to try to rank against Amazon/Nextag/etc on low competition/low searched keywords, using subpages rather than an exact match domain. :confused:
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • [1] reply
    • This is a good point. It's important when doing competition research, that you determine what the pages PR is and not the sites PR. If the page PR is high, it may be difficult to outrank. Usually, however, it is the sites PR that is carrying that pages rank in the SERPS and you shouldn't have much issue in out ranking a page.

  • Hey gpower2 thanks for posting this. Lots of good info both in the topic and the replies. You have really gone into a lot of good detail on how your method works.
    Am I correct in assuming that your MOBS training expands on this method with more detail? Can you give me a feel for how much more there is to be learned? 20%? 50%? Trying to get a feel for what new info might be learned in MOBS. Can you give me an idea on the areas that you go into more detail on?

    • Thank you.

      Yes, but I hesitate in posting a response here. I would feel more comfortable addressing your questions in a PM, so........PM sent.
  • This thread has been alive for nearly a monthly now, with hundreds of responses and at least 30 or so "thanks" to the initial post....

    What have been the experiences of those who have used/tried this method/product? Has it worked for you? Has it not worked for you? Why? Why not?
    • [1] reply
    • I have been following this thread and decided to buy the product today.

      I have just gone through the entire manual, and it is GREAT. There is nothing left out. And it is completely step by step.

      There's absolutely no way in the world you could not make money if you followed through and put it into action with intelligence and common sense. And not over-thinking things.

      Now that doesn't mean that it won't take some work to do. It will take a fair amount of work. But I consider this one of the more legitimate and solid business models you can find. I say that because it's based on fundamentals, not anything faddish or black hat.

      This is the sort of course you would hand your best friend, or your mother, if they approached you and said, "Okay, how can I REALLY make money online?" You could hand them the manual and tell them to read every word and start with Step 1.

      I'm not connected to GPower in any way. I just wanted to give my honest thoughts because the guy deserves it for giving away so much great info in this thread.
