My Internet Marketing Journey

Well, of course I ended up forgetting to update this blog......as I assumed I would.

However, I continued to nuke the sites that I started out with, but I was not able to even get any of them in the top 100 for their keywords, regardless of the low competition. I'm thinking I got unlucky with those keywords anyways.

But, I have started a VERY ambitious new project, for a VERY tough keyword. I'll need somewhere in the realm of 15k backlinks to have a chance at getting on the first page. However, I've spend a lot of time on the website for SEO and such. It's not a blog at all.....no blogger or wordpress.

I tested a little PPC with it and got surprisingly high quality scores. It seems to me that Adwords likes custom HTML websites as opposed to blogs now.....

But anyways, I've been nuking the crap out of this website for the past 5 days now. It's new, so it might get sandboxed for a bit (even though I really don't believe in sandboxing). I'm creating over 100 backlinks a day for it.....but it's a waiting game for Google when it comes to finding those backlinks.

Well, only time will tell.

In other news, I have been trying to pursue article marketing. I don't know very much about the subject, so writing articles myself is pretty hard. I've tried outsourcing a few times, and I'm still waiting for the articles. I should have had them nearly 3 weeks ago now........Pretty frustrating to say the least.

Well, back to nuking!

3rd Update - Day 7

2010-01-21T05:15:00.000-08:00

Well, I haven't been able to do too much in the past several days. I work at Disneyland and also go to college, so things can get a bit hectic. SEnuke also hasn't had the captcha service running, so I had a sort of mental block keeping me from running SEnuke.

However, tonight, I just purchased a kay for 2000 Captcha credits, so that should hold me until SEnukes servers are relocated.

I literally just finished making a new set of accounts a minute ago. I'm going to go nuke some more of my blogs, and also a website that I've had for a while. That particular website is just focused on Adsense, and it's been doing the Google dance on page 1 and 2. If I can get it to the top 3, then I should seem some traffic then, and hopefully I'll be able to flip the site. Google reports it's keyword to be searched 18,100 times for it's Global monthly search count. What's weird is that I haven't even seen any traffic from page 2 of the results. So I guess I'll find out soon if it really gets that high of a search count.

Anyways, I should be back on track. When I wake up tomorrow (later today, rather), I will rewrite some more PLR to be spinnable, and more nuking will commence!

My 2nd Update

Day #2

I'd like to tell you that I am keeping extensive track of each keyword SEO campaign. Each keyword campaign has a number assigned to it, and below each entry I list what has been done so far, and at what date and time.

Here is a copy of what 1 keyword campaign has under it.

-Jan 16th 3:30am ----- Submitted First Post
-Jan 16th 3:35am ----- Submitted to Social Networks
-Submissions Pinged
-Jan 16th 4:00am ----- Social Networks Bookmarked
-Jan 16th 4:20am ----- All Sites RSS Submitted

Up to this point, I have done the above for two keywords that are ranked as "Easy!" in SENuke.

1 keyword has 1600 searches/month
The other has 1300 searches/month

So in total, I hope to get about 2500-3000 visitors per month if I can dominate the 1st page listings. If it converts at 1%, that would be 25-30 conversions/month, resulting in $750-$900/month....OR $25-$30 per day.

Not an amazing amount, but over time I'd like to continue doing this of course, and hopefully the income will just keep adding up.

I'll probably do 1 more keyword tonight.... we'll see how I feel!

Ahh, The First Post!

Well everyone, I'd like to introduce myself.....My name is Sean Beever, and I'm making this blog to keep track of my efforts in Internet marketing.

I started in June of 2009, and I had no clue what a landing page was, or even how to make a cent online.

At the moment, I am amazed at how much I have learned in the past 6 or so months!

However, I've yet to find hardcore success. Sure, I have made sales on clickbank products, and I have converted CPA offers. Unfortunately, my revenue has not outweighed my expenses at the moment.

I find that I have the typical IM newbie 'bug'. I jump around from method to method, never sticking with 1 long enough to see if it works. I'll work on 1 method for 3, 4, or sometimes 7 days, but usually no longer than that. I know that isn't enough.....so I am making this blog to track my efforts and spend at least 1 month on 1 method.....

And what method will that be?

Ranking on the first page of Google for 10 Keyword terms.

How Will I Do It?

The answer: SENuke.

I know SENuke is capable if I use it right. People use it successfully all the time, so I KNOW it is possible. I just have to re-create that success for myself.

As of now, I have researched a competitive niche and found 10 keywords with low competition but monthly searches in the XXXXs.

I used both SENuke and Micro Niche Finder in tandem to select these keywords. Upon the information I received in those programs, I should, in theory, be able to rank on the first page for each keyword.

Added together, the 10 keywords would give me about 20,000 searches per month. If I manage to get within the first 3 results for each keyword, I can hopefully expect about 15,000 visitors total across all of my keywords landing pages combined.

I will be promoting a CPA offer TRIAL that pays out at about 30$ per conversion.

From some information I have gathered, this offer converts at 3-4%. Let's take 3% to be modest.

15,000 visitors at a 3% conversion rate......gives us 450 conversion per month. At $30 a conversions, we get $13,500. Not bad right?

Ok, your probably thinking "wishful thinking there buddy!". I know, I know.......but heck, I'd be happy with 1/4th that amount. Heck, any success at all is what I'm shooting for.

But I'm going all out. I have got to prove to myself that earning a living online IS possible. I have to.

So, in conclusion of this post, I will leave a small checklist of what I have done so far...

-10 keywords found, blogs made on each.
-1 blog has content, social networks nuked with spun, original, content, and then pinged and bookmarked.

9 more keywords to go!

I am planning on nuking each keyword blog 2 times a week. That's 2-3 nukes per day total.

I will attempt to update this every day, so stick with me and hold me to my plan!
