Ive been using the Market Samurai Rank Tracker module since it came out a while back. I’m doing a very small amount of link building using a few different automated tools, but not much.

Llook at these bloody ranks and how much they jump around all over the stupid place. (click to embiggen)

Mentalists. Just wanted to point out just how much the SERPs move around. I can do an update in 10 minutes and it could be different again.

A few posts ago I had a bit of a fit about SENuke. It is pretty fantastic and i think you should check it out. I am running a few campaigns using it and seeing very nice results. I thought i would create a campaign and do absolutely nothing to it after the initial Nuking.

Here we are almost 1 month later (only a few days short) and i’ll show you the stats for the wordpress blog that is somewhere in the middle of the link network.

Check it out! Now i promise you i have done nothing since the initial setup. That was this site, a few others (this didnt end up being a wheel as i lost the passwords to the other sites!) and some social bookmarking and rss feed submissions etc.

I chose a “doable” keyword for this and it is ranking top 3. I would have liked to see more traffic but obviously the keyword was not the best choice. However i will develop some landers on here for other keywords and see how it goes. It is selling a ClickBank product that pays $30. I have made 1 sale! huhuh. 1 sale you say, not very much you say. Well this did take me about 2 minutes to setup and let me remind you again, i did no extra work on it since. Imagine what happens when you put the effort in!

Well let me show you!

This one i started several days before hand and have put some more work into it. The traffic is fairly erratic as its coming mostly from regular article submissions. Yesterday an article was live on ezines so that’s where most of that came from. I have made quite a few more sales with this and it is slowly creeping up the SERPs.

So there you go. This has all been made possible because of SENuke. The time taken would have literally been hours and hours for these two, but i would estimate i spent max 10 mins on the first one (got a little excited earlier ) and about 1 hour total on the second. This is not including submission time as that can take 20 mins for a large network of sites.

Please go and check out the SENuke FREE 7 day trial. You will not be disappointed!

Lately i have been looking into a lot of free traffic methods, i discovered something that Google doesn’t like. You might have seen those services offering automated social bookmarking for backlinks? Well they don’t work terribly well. I like to have control over where things are posted so my sites don’t get posted to irrelevant sites therefore hurting my rankings.

Observe this screen shot of a site i have been tracking using the awesome Market Samurai.

Have a guess when i started using this automated service? Indeed.

Now do not fear. As this service is not available to the public i have been beta testing it. I will be sure to let them know about some of the problems i have encountered with it so they can fix them before they go public.

This all comes down to consistency and relevancy. Google loves relevancy, in fact i would actually call it a relevance engine not really a search engine. So make sure that you know where your pages are getting bookmarked, target your keywords and make sure they are relevant!

when you do that this happens.

Remeber this post?

Well after the first day i was number 2, then as expected dropped down to the 3rd page.

Now look! (Click for biggery)

Wonder how long this will last.

Ive always wondered why i never had any (hardly any) traffic from Yahoo. 95% of all the search engine traffic is google. Even tho if i take those keywords people a searching on and plug them into yahoo i rank just as high if not higher than i do on google!

I have noticed that over the last day, the Yahoo spiders have been going a bit crazy. So I’m guessing a change (for the better!) has just been made to their system which seems to be more like Google.

I’ll wait with anticipation on the results of this mass crawl. Have any of you seen the same thing?
