What if i do not mind my google ranking... would this work?

Go for it, sounds like a quality test to me. I agree I am all about whitehat, but people definitely do this. In fact, once I purchased the right to write on 40 different blogs and it cost me 50 bucks. If each person paid 50 bucks to write on those blogs-well you do the math.

Pretty good money if you ask me, not sure if you were directly talking about this example or not.

My gut feeling, and some experience, suggests that you will generate junk traffic. I have some low quality wordpress sites that get what appears to be little more than spammers looking to build backlinks. They are not gonna ever give back the cost of one fiverr gig.

You may get better results. Report back if you try it.

The problem is that a lot of the article submissions on fiverr are created in dark corners of the web that will never be seen by human eyes. They are created for the purpose of getting them google indexed and adding a tiny fraction of link juice (usually for tier 2 backlinks).

If you have the money to spend though I'd say go for it. It would be a really interesting experiment!

You are again planning to do what people have already stopped doing it. I suggest you spend your $100 creating articles and submitting it to ezinearticles.

WHY??? Because even if I need an article to syndicate quick, I'll go to ezinearticles. High PR and popular sites like ezinearticles may not have that value in google's eyes any more, but they still have value to the people who depend on article syndication.

Another better way is to sign up in Directory of Ezines where you can find syndicators to syndicate your article. With One single article written right, you can generate tons of traffic, build list and make money.

So, think about syndicating more than submitting to 1000s of useless sites who are struggling for their own survival.

Hope that helps.

They won't.

The proportion of them ever really published anywhere will be tiny, and quite a lot more than 99% of those will never even be read by anyone. And most of the much-less-than-1% that are read by anyone won't produce a "meaningful visitor" in the sense that you mean it (of "someone from whose visit you might gain anything"). Your visitors will be the occasional bot, the occasional random one and possibly the occasional competitor/person with a sense of the macabre wondering who you are and what you're doing and why.

No, because for $100 you can satisfy yourself that it doesn't work.

You can't satisfy yourself of that by reading my answer here (or anyone else's) and probably rightly so, too. Because however much I know about articles and spinning and article directories and how they work, that isn't something I've done for nearly 4 years. When I did it (or something similar) I got nothing from it at all, and I know why, and I know that the chances of it working now are - for many reasons - far lower than they ever were then. But you don't know that, and that's perfectly reasonable, because you have only my word for it: I'm not criticising you for wanting to try it, and find out for yourself, at all. And it's only $100, you say.

(There's almost no question that you'll eventually be heavily penalized or delisted by Google, clearly - but that's "common ground", and you know that already and obviously won't try it with a page you actually care about).

Well, judging by your signature line (FREE EBOOK: "From 0 to 200 euro (258.32 dollar) a day in only 4 months") you would think the answer would be obvious for you.

Hi

For an experiment, and to satisfy yourself, it may be worth blowing $100. As you said, Alexa's answer was spot-on.

But if that is an actually traffic generating budget and not from the experiment jar, you would be better to spend that money getting more targeted traffic by buying banner ads on related niche sites, or buying links in popular YouTube videos (for example).

I know alexa is right and i know that probably your suggestions will work better to, But indeed to satisfy myself i still might try

First off I am going against the grain a little but ... go for it.

Everyone better get them a test site. One completely independent of replying on Google for anything. Throw as many different traffic sources at it as your budget allows. AS far as doing the experiment you are suggesting, maybe a true story will help.

Back a couple of years ago I had a pretty elaborate linking system set up. I won't discuss the first five tiers but they are a prime example of a cleaner/multiplier designed to clean a lot of links and squeeze all the juice systematically to the second tier authority sites. Yeah .. never have wanted to SEO my money sites in the top tier.

I didn't worry with spinning anything. I would have one article sitting in 300,000 locations pointing to the cleaner tier. One cleaner would eventually have 12 to 1,500 of these article strings.

These articles were not meant to get traffic but were meant to, and at the time did, place a lot of link juice in one concentrated place. That resulted in some very good rankings for some very good keywords like 101 marketing strategies and it's relatives. I was number one for over a year and a half.

The exact same set up will no longer rank a site .. those link are now completely worthless in Google's eyes. No traffic whatsoever (beside some bots) ever trickle up to the cleaner .. none .. ever.

I had my own network of blogs, directories, bookmark sites, and web 2.0 sites just for the purpose of getting indexed and crawled but not for human consumption and this is also why the directories you are talking of were built.

Set up the test site but consider advice from someone who has already tried the test ... use a different traffic strategy and save your money.

Just about anything is worth testing. Run this test, and then try pointing those links to some open (non-linked) web 2-oh properties and then your main one, the squeeze I guess. You may be surprised by either one.

instead of spending your cash on potentially crappy and useless spun articles, why not do a bit of research, find some blogs, forums and other sites that are in your specific niche, and then contact those sites and offer yoru $100 to them to place a banner on their site for a week or two?

This will drive more targeted traffic to your site, traffic that will actually be interested in the same topic that whatever you are promoting is about, and also increase the chances of someone actually buying.

I am still hessitating, but I lean towards not doing this test.
Would be a nice test tho, but if it is bound to fail before the test, then why test it right?

BTW: Lot's of you are talking about linkjuice. That is still depending on G. I am talking about direct traffic without any search.

I will open an new topic with a different question stating "what would you do to get a 1k list with a 100 dollar budget". Maybe a better question

The method you are talking about has probably been saturated and burned already. Like a decade or so ago. My guess, that is.

If you are going to submit your articles in 100k article directories, many article directories are likely to take some times to approve your articles in their directories. Many of them will decline your articles. 100k is a very big number but to get 100K visitors from them, will take you ages. Because most of the articles directories except some high PR article directories like ezine, articlebase etc, are worthless and people hardly visit them to read an article and also they hardly appear in any google result.

Maybe it will work. After all, I'm surprised this thread has received this many lengthy answers, considering that spun content from Fiverr is basically equivalent to Chinese characters

Here is the thing though, you will not get even 1 visit from most of those articles. Thats the problem with it. I mean, most of these so called "article sites" that they publish your post to, are not seen by any real readers ever.

If it was that easy, why would anyone bother with Google. Think about it, you could submit 1 artcile to 2000 sites a day and 1 visit from each site would give you 2000 UV a day. Thats more than enough to make you a comfortable living depending on your niche.

But, that doesn't work this way. These are not real sites visited by people.

I always like that fiverr thinking (It's only $5).

Doesn't matter If it works, it's only $5.

Does 1,000 worthy article sites even exist? I'm sure every fiverr gig would be blasting the same few sites that don't moderate anything.
