[Case Study] - Ranking a brand new site to 1000/month with less than 50$

I have decided that i will spending under 100$ (not the original 50$) Regardless, the point is, it's a very small amount of money.

Update #1 - 7/24
Update #2 - 7/31

Hey guys,

I've never done a case study before and decided that doing it here would not only be a great way to document my results, but to also get feedback from other members/show everyone else my results.

There are lots of strategies when it comes to SEO, and i know it can be frustrating for people to pick one specific one that works. So as this case study goes on, i'm hoping this can be an easy way for people that need some instruction to follow something that recently worked.

I will be starting tomorrow and updating this thread each week. I will not only show my exact seo strategy, but my google rank, unique visitors for that week, AND adsense clicks (whatever else i use to monetize)

So here we go...

The point of this case study is to prove that you don't need lots of money to rank your site high in google/ make money. This is about being as thrifty as possible and grinding it out. It can be done and will be done.

My sites stats:
- Not exact match domain (has the word "center" after it)
- Age: Brand New
- Competition: 116,000 in quotes - Traffic Travis gives it a "medium"
- It gets between 20k and 50k exact searches per month
- Adsense cpc is just over 2$ for main keyword (and just under 2 for most others)

Here are the tools that will be used (as of 7/18):
- Article Marketing Robot (already own)
- Traffic Travis (Already own)
- SEOPressor (Already own)
- SeNuke (will be taking the 14 day free trial)
- Dripable (will be taking the 7 day free trial)
- Backlinksindexer (will be taking the 5 day free trial)

Market/Keyword Research: I am using traffic travis/google keyword tool to find the 5 most profitable and relevant keywords to my site. Then i am doing some basic market research (going on yahoo answers, looking at forums, etc.) to discover the problems/questions of the niche and create 5 keywords based on these. Then compile the keywords into a list (of 10).

My SEO strategy:

I had originally posted a strategy, however i plan on being flexible. I will update what i do in the posts.

So here is where i ask for help..... If you are experienced in SEO, or have recently ranked sites, please add any knowledge you can. Any software, tricks, or tips you have are all welcome and i am 100% open to adding/modifying to my current strategy.

Thanks again -Matt
