If you had a choice between mainkeyword.org and mainkeywordshop.com, which would you go for?

WoW! Just finished read this thread. I have saved all of John/XFactor's tips to a textfile for a printout and placement in a folder for reading. I recommend you all do just that. Just linking to the thread is some what stupid, since it might get deleted or the forum may get lost someday. So save the knowledge to a file, you'll have that even without Internet access. I also included the url to the thread in the textfile along with the thread title. And I use the thread title in the filename. I'm planning to building up a small archive with knowledge from this forum. |

Adsense is a good choice for this type of strategy because it is readily available and easy to implement. However, if you have websites with traffic coming to them and you can't use Adsense, it is relatively easy to replace it with something else. You have to be prudent and try to follow the rules, but no one would ever do anything to make money if they spent all their time looking for potential problems instead of just getting started and taking some action. I think that is the point of this thread. | |

1) I would prefer .org first. 2) Putting any word at the end for a .com is ok otherwise. 3) And it works just fine if you do the opposite ![]() - John | |

Seems to me like if the accounts are banned because the sites were not falling under TOS, the same problem of being banned would exist for said new account. Let me know if I'm making sense of this. | |

$1000 It's not that big if you make $10k a month.. ![]() XFactor has given me confidence by showing this method DOES work and everyone can make it to work. Now that we all know that I ask: how hard are you going to work? I also took action and started working on several sites.. we'll see how it goes.. but this time I am determined to make (at least some of) them work and take my time.. I'll test, fix wrong stuff, build links and I don't care how long will it take me, will it work, is this perfect, is that perfect.. etc. I know it will eventually work.. Anyway here's my little cotribution to the thread: Someone asked a couple pages back: if your keyword domain is unavailable for example supergrillreviews.com is registered is it cool to use supergrillsreviews.com? I have one domain that is exactly like that and I think it's perfectly cool, the site is ranking ok with little promotion but there is much competition in my niche so it's on page 2. The only problem is it's not very brandable and rememberable and doesn't exactly flow off the tounge so to say ![]() It would be cool if anyone who has taken to time to take notes of this thread and is willing to share them for everyone.. instead of everyone writing their owns ![]() |

Mindmaps are great. Looks like you've figure it out, but if not, if it's on paper, just scan it and save it as PDF. If you created it digitally (with mindmapper software for example), just save as PDF and upload it here (or send it to me and I will host it on clickbump.com.

I personally believe that exactkeyword.tld domains get quite a bump in the SERPs. Not sure how viable this strategy is in the long term, but for now just keep building and earning. I'm just getting started with this, but I can see myself at around $30/day by the end of July, which is great. My goal is to hit $100/day by end of September. It's all about taking massive action. Get some domains and build build build for a week, then stop building and promote promote promote, get your sites to page one (preferably positions 1-3) and move on to the next batch. It helps to keep in touch with someone whos doing a similar thing. It helps more than you think. Thing is, most people are di**heads who think they know everything. Not sure where I'm going with this... clickbump, I wouldn't use subdomains. But just test a few sites, and see what you get. I could be wrong. |

Overall, you'll do better with the main domain name all else being equal. If you use a subdomain, you have to make sure it's unequal by building more and better keyword relevant links. | |

1. $7 per domain is well worth investment. 2. Always treat each site as different entity 3. Exit strategy - You can sell domain, sites (/w subdomain, impossible to do it). 4. from my experience, kw domain works much better on ranking. | |

Great thanks for lessons, i cant even get close to that number with bigger traffic and more websites. I earn your daily cash in 1 month. I have funny websites. Maybe i could do what your doing, product websites. How are you making them, do you open example: LCD reviews and then post LCD reviews? |

For example, if your long tail keyword was 'keyword1 keyword2 keyword3' but you could only find a domain name that had your long tail keywords, but with a different sequence i.e. 'keyword3keyword1keyword2' dot com - would you still get the better ranking with this domain? Or does the domain name need to have the exact sequence of the long tail keyword phrase to be effective as a kw domain? Thanks Angela | |

Hi Angela, Sorry if this sounds blunt, but I don't think this is something you should be worrying about. I understand this could be something new to you (as we all felt at some point in time about something), but I think everybody would agree that this is something that should be resolved by common sense. I strongly suggest that you use your chosen keyword in your domain name exactly in the sequence that people write them when they use your KWP in searching for information on the web. Just my 2 cents. ![]() | |

![]() I should've explained further. I had bought a domain a couple years ago that I'm trying to monetize now......so in doing keyword research in the last few days, I found a long tail keyword with very good results, but it would be out of sequence from the domain name. And I was wondering what kind of chance I would have by using a keyword that was out of sequence. Of course, from now on, I would always buy a new domain with the exact keyword phrase. Because yes, that wouldn't make much sense to buy a new domain without the keyword phrase that's being targeted. Again, I was looking for feedback to see if I would do well with targeting a keyword that is out of sequence from the domain name. Thanks for your feedback. Angela | |

Hey John, What would you say is the average amount of time it takes you to get a site to #1 or at least the front page? The 6 sites I've built since last week (targeting VERY uncompetitive keywords) are still all buried in the search results, after having submitted a new and unique article, to a different article directory (EzineArticles, GoArticles, etc.), for each site every day for the past week? I don't understand how so many people are getting multiple sites to the first page without even doing anything. |

Do not build too many links to fast. A brand new site cannot "naturally" gain too many links without being flagged. So, if it takes you 2-3 weeks that will be just find. Just have patience. You are building for the long term and another week or 2 is nothing. You can increase the indexing by going to Google/webmasters and submit a sitemap after registering the website. You also can use a ping tool to notify the search engines about your websites. Wordpress does that automatically, but you can do it manually (be friendly, don't over-do it). There are many ways to get indexed and many ways to increase how fast you rank for a specific search term. Read up on SEO and things will be fine. Chris |

Btw, I was just checking my competition and came across something interesting. The #1 spot in Yahoo has a .info domain (keyword rich though). Only 103 backlinks. And the site is TOTAL JUNK!!!! It has absolutely nothing of value whatsoever. It is just a page that says "Possible meanings for this term" and then lists a bunch of other words that are not related to the main kw phrase whatsoever. At the bottom it also has a place saying "Do you have a website, please link to us". And of course adsense are all over the page, left side. Yahoo must be very lenient. Because in Google this site is nowhere to be found on the first 5 pages!! Yahoo it is the #1 result. |

1) I prefer separate domain names because I like having many, many properties out there. I plan on selling my portfolio one day and this gives me more income opportunity from the seller. 2) I like the idea of each specific site TOTALLY dedicated and SEO'd for a specific niche. 3) Domains constantly move up and down in rankings, sometimes disappearing altogether for days. So my thinking is that if one domain does this, and my entire portfolio of subdomains are attached, this may not be good. Those are my reasons, although they may not ring true with others, but that's how I feel personally. - John | |

who go after super-tight micro niches, then start from scratch. Just because you have a domain, it doesn't mean you have to use it. They are cheap, so dump it and follow the plan as outlined here. You'll be pleased. - John | |

Okay, here's one that I suspect will get a "try it and see" response - and I will! I have made one site as a result of this thread already (but still yet to earn). I'd like an opinion as well though. I researched a niche that had 4k exact searches and amazon pages are the first results, with not much else to compete with either. But the broader niche one level up, has over 30k monthly searches and, despite 1.5m search results, still has amazon pages and other poor sites on page 1. Kind of like 'electric toothbrush' being the smaller niche, but 'toothbrush' still seemingly as beatable. So I'm right to want to target the bigger niche yes?? I can also get 'keyword'reviews.com as a domain. |

Here is my experience with what you have just learned. In fact, I found the exact same results last month in a niche that I was expecting to be littered with well SEO'd sites. I decided to target the "bigger niche" and devoted 2 weeks to it. After that I assumed I would get nowhere and would then go after the secondary niche. I am now #3 on page 1 for the big niche, thanks to the fact that my competitors have yet to learn about optimizing and SEO. So my advice is definitely GO AFTER THE BIG GUY. ![]() Cheers ![]() | |

I think you're right about this, one of the sites I just opened is BRANDPRODUCTreviews.com (the keyword phrase is "brand product") and have added reviews for that line of products as well as some general information. Did the on-page SEO, but someone else (I'll bet big money that s/he is someone following this thread or Steve Crooks' threads; theme is by Artisteer and looks like the layout Steve uses) also put up BRANDPRODUCT.net. They're in position 6, with no content at all on the site and no backlinks, while my site is nowhere near the first page.

How do I get more relevant ads to show? I read in another thread that you can add a piece of code... <!-- google_ad_section_start --> KEYWORDS GO HERE <!-- google_ad_section_end --> And this will tell Google to only show ads relevant to the words you supplied. If this is true, where do I put this code? Inside of the adsense code? Cause right now the ads showing on my site aren't even remotely close to being relevant. |

Btw, here is a PDF of my mindmap. If anyone has Mindjet MindManager and wants the actual map so you can click on the links, shoot me a PM with your email address and I will send it to you. Also, some of the article directories I have listed are not free. Just want to let you know...I thought they were all free until I went to use them today and found out some cost money. Hope this helps some of you guys. But of course none of it would be possible without all of the info John (and other contributors to this thread) have posted. So thanks to them. |

According to John the backlinks have the most variance, but it would be interesting to take timing data from, say, doing 100 sites and weight the steps according to the resulting timings. Also, while the backlinks have the most variance, and could conceivably be the biggest time sync of all, it also appears to be the easiest portion to do in parallel, and to outsource. | |

Hello, First, i am sorry if i write like a child, but i am french, so i try to do my best, sorry for your eyes ![]() then, i must congrats you for the 300$/day! you work harder than me, that's certain lol. Well, i have some adsense sites, im still a newbie in that. First time, i have bought some articles and i have started some websites in big markets, so, duplicate content and big competition > fail, the clicks i have on those sites come only from directories. Then, i have started a wordpress blog about weight loss. I have selected a good keyword for the domain name, and 10 differents keywords with not so much competition, and with that, i wrote 1 page for every keyword (10 differents pages). Second try, well, it's better than before but not the paradise : some days, 0.50 cents, to 1.5 Euro luckys days (some days 0 too). That's for my little experience. Every things i tried for now are in french, french markets/website/content. I was not on the warrior forum for a moment now, but when i came and see your post, i got back some motivation to try again. I have read the 13 pages and now, i have a lost of questions before i start. The first thing : with a product for keyword, i have always some online-shops websites and some websites that list the best prices for every online shops (i dont know how to say in english, we says "comparateur de prix" in french.) I have a chance to be before those sites in google results? Second one ![]() Then, about niches, i still have problems. When you say, "i choose a keyword and i create some pages about that keyword it's like for exemple if : i select the niche "inox toaster" with a domain name like "inoxtoastersite_DOT_com and i create 4-5 pages like 1) The best inox toasters on the market 2) How to choose your inox toaster 3) How an inox toaster works 4) Why people like inox toasters? then i creater others pages, like specific models of inox toaster, The toaster philips hb45785568989, etc. Say me if i'm right with that thing or not please, it's the biggest thing that stop me to start working. Thanks in advance, and good luck for the 1000$/day! |

Read the entire thread - great insight - but I have a question - somewhere in the thread you mentioned that you wouldn't give out any urls because google could shut you down for violating there adsense rules. Now I understand about not giving out any urls just from keeping your "realestate" safe - but what rule(violation) could that trigger with google adsense? Thanks
