Lemons884 Journal- Will this noob succeed?

conv3rsion said:
most of the links you buy will be fairly worthless, even if they are dofollow because either

a) they will be in the same place the person selling them puts all their sold links or
b) they will be from low trust rank / low quality, possibly unindexed and rarely authoritative themselves pages.

if you can get high PR links for fairly cheaply then thats not horrible but the person you are buying them from will probably keep selling on the same source, reducing your net benefit. Otherwise he/she will price according to value, which means you arent getting high pr cheap.

Your money is better spent on outsourcing for people who can engage communities, comment on blogs, build more satellite sites, etc.

Good post. You should look at Red_virus backlink service though; it is really good. He uses different accounts for all the submissions and does quick work so I think its worth the money in that regards.

I think your own to something though. I'm thinking about making my own youtube videos and using twitter more. I started using twitter yesterday and I'm getting some visitors from it. If I can get 10-12 visitors up I think I can bring in some good traffic.

More updates today:
-Fixed my meta tags on the 6packnow site again. Apparently when I upgraded it a week okay; it took off all of my settings. My title, for example was just the link to my site which is horrible for SEO so I fixed this.
-Incase I didn't tell you, I got my first CPA offer on my home page. I think this might be easier then actual selling. Its right on the home page; and I took the bidvertiser ad off so my site won't look to spammy
-Did some more keyword search for my trackfieldevents website and found some good ones. I need to get my keywords in the actual content of my site as well rather then just the title tags. So I have some more to learn about SEO because theres some stuff I am not doing.
 


Day 53

Day 53 Summary:

-Waiting on "TheStudent" to finish order.
-Read an interesting article on backlinks and such:
Link Building: When Will Backlinks Show Up In Google? | Search-Internet Marketing

No wander my sites not getting good traffic yet.......

-Working on more content for the trackfieldevents site. I'm up to 30 pages.

-Signed up for yahoo publisher network. Was disappointed its not fully up yet :/


Questions Still Lingering in my brain:

-Why does Google take so long to re-evaluate your site with the backlinks? I did a search on my websites backlinks and Google has me on "0" according to this website:

Link Popularity Check Website Backlink Checker - Add Me.com

Future Projections

-Youtube videos; I think they could help out with traffic if I could get some up.

Google never (in my experience) shows you the real number of backlinks. Use Yahoo Site Explorer instead, or there there are other tools out there that do the same thing, seomoz might have one, I can't recall at the moment.

yeah I just started using Yahoo Site Explorer. I have 1000+ backlinks for the 6packnow one.
 
Day 55

Day 55 Summary:

- Today I decided to look at some competition
Track and field events, 823,000 searches a month according to Google Keyword Tool
1.) USA Track & Field (86,101 pages/ 147,079 backlinks)
2.) Track & Field News: The Bible Of The Sport Since 1948 (21,564 pages/ 39,094 backlinks)
3.) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_and_field_athletics (2 pages/ 2566 backlinks)
4.) Trackshark.com ::: Elite College and Professional Track & Field News, Results, Rankings, Coverage, Features, Photos, Videos, Blogs, Community and Forums (56,477 pages/ 135, 847 backlinks)
5.) 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics - Track & Field | Athlete Profiles, Videos & Photos | Event Recap | NBC Olympics (1,044 pages/ 47,556 backlinks)
8.) trackandfield.about.com (1,650 pages / 111,314 backlinks)
9.) 2009 NCAA Division III Indoor Track and Field Championships (877 pages / 1096 backlinks)
10.) WaTFXC Main (1,197 pages / 3559 backlinks)
11.) Track and Field - Training, Results, Events, Records - trackandfield.com (5,433 pages / 5525 backlinks)

My 6packnow site (no pages / 1058 backlinks)
My trackfieldevents site (no pages / 6 backlinks)

-Looks like it takes longer then I thought to get indexed by Yahoo and Google. This explains why no pages are showing up for yahoo. My site ranks #4 on Google for "Track Field Events" which gets 8100 a month.
-I added the plugin "Meta Tag Manager" on both my sites. I'm going to add the yahoo site explorer meta, the google webmater tools meta, and live webmaster tools meta. I think verifying my sites with the search engines will get them indexed faster rather then waiting for the search engines to index it themselves. If the meta tags don't work, I will add the file they give you to authencitate your site.
-Gonna work on my new forum and get some backlinks

Beware that google modifies search results based on your recent history, so you may not be ranking 4th to everyone else. I'm surprised you haven't been indexed by Google yet, usually a digg submit, some dofollow sig/blog comments gets you there. I might have missed it in the thread but have you submitted a site map for both sites?

For my new site. I'm indexed by Google; I'm not indexed by Yahoo. My site 6packnow, for whatever reason, only has the homepage indexed. I have a plugin to take care of the sitemap so I have that.

Just finished getting my 2 sites verified by Google (google webmaster tools), Yahoo (yahoo site explorer), and Bing (Live Search Webmaster Tools).

I also added meta tags for keywords in the header.php file for both sites. This is just to be sure they are there. I don't think meta keywords are that useful for search engines like they used to be, but I wanna be sure.

I checked, and he is in fact ranking 4th for the term he stated. Valid concern though.

It's great to see someone taking action. Keep up the good work man.

If there's anything I can do to help (I've got an empty dedicated server and a TON of unused domain names) feel free to shoot me an email: seosly@gmail.com

Thanks for the offer; however I'm not in need of any servers/hosting. I could use some domains in the future though but thats not for a while.

Day 57 Summary:

-I leave for USAF basic training in 14 days.
-Added some content and got some backlinks
-Thinking about what to do with $20 in Paypal. I pm'd a guy for 1000 social bookmarking but he hasn't pm'd me back so I'm waiting on that.

Questions Still Lingering in my brain:

-What else can I do then adding content and getting backlinks? It seems like my works not gonna pay off until like 5-6 months.

Day 58

Day 57 Summary:

-Guy in the sell/buy/trade is getting me 1000 directory submissions. I pay after I am satisifed with the work. It cots $13.99.
-I dickrolled people on another forum. Its not so funny over there I was negged intensively lol.
-Just kinda chillin because of basic training coming so I guess thats why I'm not getting much done lately.
-My traffic is rising for both sites so that is a good thing.

Questions Still Lingering in my brain:

-Will I make sales while I'm at basic? The traffic should go up by then because more backlinks are getting indexed. Worst case scenario, nothing changes and my sites just site there for 2 months.

Future Projections

-Around November, I'm gonna get another domain and make a site strictly on selling something. I'm gonna look for an untapped niche and go in that direction.

One thing you should change about your site is not having the about page be the first thing visitors see, have new content appear on the main page. That way you give them a reason to come back.
