What Should I do?
- SEO |
Generally speaking I went after high traffic terms and high competition, Google's traffic was amazing but Bing and Yahoo provided alot of traffic too, so I just can't ignore them like so many here.
To give an example I went to number #2 on Bing for my term, but it must have been a high quality natural backlink as I didn't build any links and it was pulling in $600 just by itself with adsense then it dropped 4/5 places 3 weeks later and is still there, Google dumped this site along time ago, I think because I had 2 off my sites linked up.
but, they do seem to pay a high cpc for any traffic they get from Yahoo or Bing almost double what they pay for their own traffic. Now for this particual keyword I have 2 sites on the first page of Bing, in Google they get 11,000,000 exact searches per month, in Bing I can still hit 3000 to 6000 pageviews for a top spot and possibly make more than I did on Google because of the higher cpc.
The second site I have is similar, I attack 3 keywords heavily each get approx 2,000,000 exact searches on Google, so thats a total of 6,000,000, and over 120,000,000 for broad terms for all three, it's currently sat on the second page of Bing for all three.
Having said that, these were competitive sites they have got tons of links and tons of junk links from services here on the Warrior Forum, I really don't know whether it's worth my time cleaning these sites up, starting again or going for the Bing positions?
Just to note these sites are really good quality, they are not low quality junk sites, they have really active FB pages and people are fairly active onsite making comments and bookmarking the site etc, one of the three sites will be harder to clean up than the other 2... I lost around 90% of the traffic through the Google update, but I think I could regain almost 70% of that if I optimised for Bing, what to do?
