60 Day Newbie Goal - First Page on Google
- SEO |
My goal for this thread is to hold myself accountable to my goal and also get any advice from all you with load more experience with internet marketing. I'm going to make tons of mistakes, but the key will be to identify them as early as possible, so hopefully you can call me out if I make a huge flub.
My strategy so far is to build a link wheel with web 2.0 blog sites and a handful of articles (10-20) all linking back to my site through the targeted keywords. This is what I've accomplished so far.
- Launched Wordpress-based website at vendingbusinesshq dot com(remember I'm new to this, so that was actually a learning experience)
- Published content to site and rearranging to make the site more functional
- Created XML sitemap and submitted to Google.
- Setup Google Analytics plug-in and account for monitoring traffic
- Hired an SEO firm on eLance for $100 (Traffic Jam in India) to jumpstart this and work in parallel with me. They are creating an article to post to 8 web 2.0 sites, 4 blogs and post the same article to 4 article directories. They do not spin the articles. They will bookmark each link (web 2, blog link and article link) with 15 bookmarking sites.
They will also post the article to 25 press release sites also. I'm not sure if this is a good price or not, but I can sacrifice $100 to see how it works.
I'm not willing to hire out all SEO work as I need to understand how this all works. I have a tough time hiring people unless I thoroughly understand what their doing, this allows me more power in negotiations and should help me keep tabs on their work.
- Wrote an original article and spun multiple versions of it using Best Spinner with 65% unique content
- Published Web 2.0 blogs at the following sites: wordpress: vendingbusinesshq
- Published articles to eZine, Goarticles, the freelibrary, Article Alley, many are waiting for approval. Here are the 2 that are out there already:
I can't post links, but 2 are published already. One at Free Library and One at Go Articles. Search phrase vending machine business or vending business
- When I have the anchor backlinks completed (20 articles, 10 web 2.0 sites) I will use Unique Article Wizard to publish mass articles linking back to the anchor sites. I think this will take the most amount of work, so I hope to be ready to get started on this by March 15th.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong?
I'm still waiting for my site to get ranked by Google, I'm not sure how long this usually takes, but I am very impatient about it. I want to see it ranked, so I can watch the progress I'm making. This would sure keep my motivation up!
