Make Money Online Experiments

Things have been going pretty smoothly with my more intermediate experiment for making money online.  I have made some steady progress in my link building strategy and have written some high quality, original content that will be useful to my well optimized money site.  I am definitely on track to have completed the building part of this campaign at the end of 4 weeks, which my goal for this experiment.

Here is my updated plan to show what I have finished so far and its impact on my rankings for each keyword combination:

I am not too concerned about how well I rank for the longtail that I am targeting with this experiment even though I have broken into the top 10 for the main longtail that I targeted as well as improving my rankings in every other iteration of the keyword. Instead, I am most excited about how I have been moving ahead for the money keyword that this post is targeting.

I have jumped 15 slots after 2 weeks for a supposedly high traffic and high paying keyword (according to the Google Adwords Keyword Tool). My assumption is that as I grow my site with additional campaigns and improve my link profile that I will continue to improve this ranking. Heck, the ranking may still improve further with this particular campaign!

Since this experiment is seemingly providing such great results both in terms of SERP rankings and my ability to organize my ideas and accomplish them I have already come up with two additional campaigns for this particular niche. One of them will target the site that this experiment is targeting (S1) and the other will try and work on S2.

S2 is trying to target a related niche to S1, so strengthening that site should help the links on it improve S1 rankings in addition to helping me make some more money from S2. S2 isn’t monetized right now and is just kind of sitting there. It should be fun to dust it off and build some high quality content on it to help my visitors find the information that they are looking for.

Good luck making money online!
