Some help here...

I am a total newbie and was wondering is this normal? I was experimenting a business model of sell ad space to the offline businesses in the Food niche. So I set up my WP site following the steps of some of the WSOs I bought here at Warriors, you know the usual stuff of setting up WP, on-site and off-site SEO etc...

The following was what I did (briefly) and hopefully someone can shed some light on this...

First thing I did was to do some KW research and managed to find a KW that has this...



From the WSO I bought, this seems fair enough searches per month for a "niche". So I headed to Google to search for competition. The KW without "Quotes" was 1.12 million and with "Quotes" 17,000 and AllInTitle gave a 1500.

I headed over to Namecheap and managed to get an exact match .com...

I went on to build my WP blog and got 3 articles written at iWriter.com. I posted the article on my blog following the rules set out for on-site SEO.. Headers, meta-tags, keywords etc...

I spruced up the blog by placing some related images and alternate text using my KW. I also added a Youtube related video

Thats all I did. 2 hours after, my site was indexed with my domain name and last checked (within 24 hours), my site is now on Page1 Rank 7 for Google.com and Page3 Rank7 for Google.(my country)

  • Keep up the good work. To get to the top position on the search results pages of popular search engines is indeed a great feeling.
    • [ 2 ] Thanks
  • Fantastic ! congratulations follow a plan, make it work and duplicate.
    • [ 2 ] Thanks
  • Good job man! You bought the WSO and took action, now you are seeing the results.
    • [ 2 ] Thanks
  • Hmmm, Great results you've got so far.

    If I were you, I wouldn't settle down for less than Rank no 1 or 2.

    So if I were in your shoes, I would order more articles from iWriter and submit them to major article submission articles (with a link pointing towards your site with your targeted keyword as an anchor word) then go to http://www.socialposter.com and bookmark those submissions.

    Then Rinse and Repeat.

    Hope that helped.

  • How's the traffic coming in? I ask because I have a couple of sites that are on 1st page and even had one site awile back sitting in the first position. In fact I think its still first in yahoo and bing and that is the keyword "get own website" the address is getownwebsite dot com. I was sitting in first postion on page one in google for a while and I got nothing.... Sometimes I think google is funny with their keyword tool

    Yeah I just went and checked and Im sitting in 1st position in both yahoo and bing and I have not gotton one visitor and have not made one dime from search engine traffic yet. Thats my goal though. Another thing I want to add is I get comments like you see but my anayletics account doesnt show any traffic. Maybe a visitor here and there but thats it
    • [2] replies
    • Saw your site... now you got another visitor.. Not much traffic yet but will work on that soon.I just watched finished the videos by Market Samurai on the 4 "Golden Rules" of Keywords. It helped me alot.
      • [1] reply
    • The keyword has less than 100 searches per month though.
  • Wow that's awesome. Great work. I bet you couldn't believe it when you saw your site up there! I have a cooking niche i am looking at too! See my free niche report i mention it in there. LOW competition HIGH search. Easy to dominate.

  • Thanks for the kind comments and encouragement folks.

    It can't be that easy right? Until now I am still finding hard to believe. I would rather it comes slowly, like from Page 5 then 3 and then 1. At least I know I am doing something right. Now its making me more worried... Will go explore and study some more.

    I'm not trying to rain on your parade, but that's not very much traffic (1,300) for a sites root keyword.

    Let's do some math...

    ( traffic per month total) x (first SERP position traffic estimate) = ( traffic per 30 days)

    (traffic per 30 days) / (days) = (unique traffic per day average/estimate).

    A rough estimate is you'll see 17 unique traffic per day.

    Now let's factor in a CTR on whatever your selling, we'll low ball it to stay on the safe side, let's assume the average conversion will be 1%.

    (unique traffic per day) x 1% = conversions per day average/estimate.

    IMO, you need to aim a lot higher for the root keyword. The 1,300 is ok for a supporting page, but I wouldn't want to have 1,300 as my largest traffic keyword.

    Don't be afraid of targeting tougher keywords, I'm sure it goes against all the WSOs you've read, but If you ever want your site to show signs of authority in the SERPs, you'll have to target a variety of themed keywords, not just one hit wonder EMDs.

    Take this as constructive criticism, I'm not trying to be negative, just trying to point out authority on a niche should be your ultimate goal.

    • You found yourself a great keyword is what you did! I registered 7 domains last week and 3 of them were on the front page within a 2-3 days. It's normal... I would expect it to bounce around a bit though.
  • Good work man! Nice to see you ranking after a short period of time. I hope you maintain the rankings for a while.

    1.3K searches is a bit low, but now you know what to do and you can either build that out or target something else with a bit more searches!

    Either way, good job

  • Well done but not unusual.

    It can be done pretty regularly with a low competition keyword.

    It all goes back to the niche and keyword research to find something with ok search results but not a lot of competition.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks

    This is why proper keyword research is so important.
    There are so many people going after keywords with the same numbers as yours, but having to work much much harder.

    Good work!
    • [ 1 ] Thanks

    • This is totally true.

      It is good that as a newbie, the OP is already realizing that the quality of the keyword is number one and if it is high search volume AND low competition for ads PLUS relatively easy to rank with SEO, then you really have a winner.

      I started SEO on a brand new site just today and got it to page 1 of Google for 5 of the lesser keywords immediately got unique visitors and made some sales.

      I hope newbies learn this the easy way rather than the hard way that the market, niche and keyword research is the most important step if you want to make money sooner rather than later.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • That's pretty outstanding for a newbie. I've been at this for over a year, and the results are always up and down. I would say keep doing what you're doing, but that might not work tomorrow. Congratulations on your great work.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • thats awesome you are well ahead of your time when it comes to seo
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Nice work man ! Keep going
  • Sounds like the honeymoon period, if your remain on the front page in months to come then that'll be impressive
  • I feel 1300 per month ain't great. Wonder how much u will earn by that traffic?
    • [1] reply
    • 1300/mo makes it a micro niche. I have a site that has about that amount of searches as well and it's on it's way to earning $40-60 per month. Doesn't sound like much, but the online real estate value of that site is closer to $600-800 if we sell it. Combine that with the fact that we make 30+ sites per month and now we're talking Of course not all of our sites do well, but this month we're shooting for around a 40%+ success rate.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
      • [3] replies
  • Great. Just keep working hard on your website and I am sure you will rank for much better keywords (keywords with 1,000,000+ searches per month are better, but harder to achieve!) ... But don't forget, nothing in this life is easy!
  • Definitely sounds like a micro-niche. I dunno if I'd say its normal to rank it in 24 hours, but it happens.

    Also remember that the Google dance is always going on. It may bounce around for a few days or weeks before it settles into "the right spot"
  • Congratulation! you have doing a great job. Plz suggest me what techniques you have using ?
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
    • [1] reply
    • What I did was to apply the SEO techniques that I read and bought on Warriors. What I think more important would be the ongoing offiste SEO process like building backlinks, article submission etc... The advise given on this thread and other threads are priceless... Its a constant learning business... Just got to keep the fire buring
  • do you meet so call google dancing ,since your backlinks are less and stable.
  • Did you place any advertisements on the site yet?

  • It sounds really inspiring! But do you think you could elaborate on the process of choosing the keyword to be working on.

    Unfortunately, I made a mistake to first write articles that I am passionate about - didn't think about keywords, didn't think about SEO at all. I just wanted it to be useful to the reader. It's been 2 weeks but search engines do not seem to agree with my views.

    So I was thinking about editing my articles a little bit by optimizing them for particular keywords. I'd like to choose a low competitive one since, it has probably become obvious, I am not really experienced. So what tools would you recommend that I should use in order to find out about the number of searches and level of competition? Also, what's the difference in Googling a keyword with "Quotation Marks" and Without Quotation Marks.

    I hope it's not too late for me to achieve some success in Google ranking.


    Thank you in advance,
    Rado
  • Congrats! and thank you for sharing nice idea of iwrite.com
  • good job on that! keyword research is the most important when generating income from a niche website. probably only need a few backlinks to rank top three!
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Hi,

    I am going to add something here. I was too lazy to read all the posts so somebody else may have pinpointed it. Search results you see are personalized meaning what you see on your computer is different from others and since you check your own website a lot more than others, it tends to show you higher results on search engines (specially if you are logged in something Googley every time you check your website) Anyways, the point is to make sure you see the right results as others see it go to proxyeye.com and in its box type google.com and then search for your keyword. What you see represents the ranking better. If you still see your website ranked #7 then kudos.
    Another point: Multimedia pages tend to rank higher compared to text only pages. The math is simple: What percentage of users prefer a video over a text both discussing the same thing?... Well then, that's the reason pages with videos rank higher. So if your competition are those old-time text-only guys, that could be one of the reasons behind your success.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Yeah, for reasons already explained, getownwebsite.com is nowhere near no 1. I see it around mid page 2, which still isn't bad. The main keyword might not have much traffic but it's a good niche to build on. Still, you got caught out by personalised results unfortunately - there's a lot of it about...
  • That depends on your searching keywords. I have also got the same result for "Photoshop Clipping Path Services Blog"
  • Well, you know one thing, when Google finds new site, new content, it used to show on top results for a day or so, but later on it will drop to last page or even disappear from whole Google rankings. I too had faced such experience.
  • Most of the new sites with less competitive keyword would show up on Google first page very quickly but they will not stay for long, and usually disappear after few days. Not until you have more contents and backlinks then it may be back to page 1 again
  • It's easy to fall into a trap like this, believing SEO can be easily manipulated.

    It takes far more skill and brains to tackle more competitive niches. You're going to either need more investments in time, money or effort.

    Exact match for 1k should naturally rank without much effort. I suggest you find a slightly wider niche and then tackle all of these low traffic pages on separate posts.

    Not easy, but far more lucrative and sustainable if done right. The efforts exponentially become more effective.

    • That happened with me 2 months back with my website on movies. It was at no. 2 position in Google. However, it slipped to the second page in a week's time. But recovered another week and was again at no. 2. Now after the EMD update it is nowhere Well, since your's a WSO, I'm sure you'll gain further. WSO's do perform good generally.
      • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Thanks guys and gals for your encouragement and thoughts. My site is still on Page1 now rank 4. I am not selling anything on the website but trying to sell the site to a Local business. Something interesting happened actually. I created a thread here and hoping someone can enlighten me

    • I will rank some more Long tails averaging 500 searches. I target 5 long tails each month so in essense, it will have 2500 more searches each month and increase from there. No point "fighting" the Big boys with high competition keywords
  • Good job man
  • Congatulations man , great work .
    What about backlinks please
    and what happened after the Penguin of april the 24th ?
    • [1] reply
    • Not too bothered with Pandas and Penguins. Google wants relevance and embrace social so I just ensure the site is done for those. Will drip back links slowly
  • Congrats bro.

  • My 2 cents on the process you may want to follow:
    - For this website find an affiliate offer on clickbank, CJ, etc. Promote it only once on a visible spot on your main page (make sure OBL is no-follow). Keep adding articles from iWriter. Slowly build backlinks from quality sources. Don't go anything massive link building because there will be a chance of Google dance. Again slowly but surely and only quality backlinks.
    - Get a few more EMDs on the same niche. Host them on different webhostings or get SEO Hosting/Similar C Class IP hostings. Repeat the same process. Find a revenue model for each website separately (Adsense, affiliate, dropshipping, etc...). Use different themes and different structures.
    - Get a non-EMD brandable domain and develop an authority website on it. Use your previous websites as a basis for a private blog network. Use different linking structures from your websites to this website (for example one of them in the footer, the other one link in a few blog posts, etc...). Don't leave a footprint. Put most of your efforts on the authority website. Rank it for multiple domains. Add lots of content to it....
  • This is normal, not a ridiculously hard keyword, but good job. Now you just need to keep expanding because thats what a good IMer does.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Well that is really a great result.. Now, the big question is that for how long will U stay in the top..
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • congratulations for your great results...
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • congratulation for achieving 1st page rank position. try to get your keywords in top 3 positions.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • I have a few questions : Do you see traffic coming in? Do you delete browsing history before checking rankings ? Could that be personalized Google search ? Thanks and good luck to you !
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • I ranked well initially and then it dropped.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • Yeah pretty simple huh. You mean this stuff actually works? LOL. Yeah what you just described above is what google loves and will give you rankings for it.
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • I wish I could do the same my latest site: equity release . me has not moved from around #344 and it is 2 months old
    • [ 1 ] Thanks
  • nice one! I hope you profit from it.

    One piece of advice. Turn that site into an authority site. create a youtube account and start putting out niche related videos and linking back to your site.

    Find the authority forum in your niche and start contributing and after a week drop your link into your signature.

    I would also get a logo, header and intro video that match and start branding. This can be done for cheap on fiverr.
