I have a final fantasy (kinda) blog but it's dead in the water. I only have around 20-40 visitors a day
to get a blog going is not easy at all, it requires a lot of hard work, posting regularly, building links and readers! here is a blog post that i have written a few days back, about getting a new blog going! Getting regular readers and comments is the key!
150 blogs, getting about 400 unique hits/day. Those are all wordpress though, so relatively useless for site promotion by themselves. However, I'm finishing off activating another 1,200 blogs right now, hosted on 500 different established domains. As soon as my subdomains get listed, life should be good. A buddy as a similar setup, and can get a site indexed in under 30 minutes. I'm HYPED.
Because I don't make my money off of blogs. I make my money off affiliate deals. So let's say I control 2000 blogs. The bottom tier is 1500 blogs. Those are promoted with not high quality links. Messageboard sign ups, posts, etc. They also interlink with eachother. So these are not in stellar standing, but still decent. They're indexed and google enjoys their existance. These 1500 blogs mostly exist to prop up the other 500. Trackbacks, outbound links, things like that. That pumps the 500 blogs up quite well, each easily getting 250 inlinks from the other blogs. So when I have a new site selling something, the top 500 blogs are in really good standing with google. Then I set the 500 all to post (auto genned content, but 100% coherrent, believe it or not), with a link to my money, affiliate site, establishing 500 quality backlinks instantly. Google sucks it up. Optionally, you can post on the 1500 blogs including links up to the other 500, speeding up the re-indexing process of those 500. On top of all of that, some people running scraper sites will definitely scrape the top 500, which, if they scrape badly, can establish yet more backlinks. Add in the backlinks that come from pings, and congrats, you have established a condition in google that makes the affiliate page SEEM viral, even if it isn't.
I have a blog, but it never did take off... It's pretty lame and I had no clue what I was doing. But I am thinking of starting another one, and doing it right this time...
Yup! Just not individually. They work as one massive ass organism. The only trick is trying to get all the fuckers indexed. Especially since some places (like wordpress) catch you and ban the blogs. That's actually the part I'm working on right now(my old farm died with my last server, I didn't think to back up the URLs/usernames/passwords). I'm just doing 3-4 posts/day with Pinging. It's a bitch to scrape/modify enough content though.
I've got one, gets about 20 UV a day, pretty new and i've not done too much work on it. Its a health blog and I'm finding writing posts for it pretty easy, I rewrite most content that is given away by an affiliate company. I update once a week, but for the past two weeks I haven't touched it.
Well, I dont host any of my own blogs. Same IP=no google juice. It's all parasite hosting. That allows me 200-500 different IPs. And my old farm died because the hard drive burnt out on the dedicated server I used to do all of the posting/sign-ups(automated obviously) from, and I didn't back up the database of usernames and passwords. There's no teacher quite like experience I guess. That farm was at it's max 5000 blogs I believe. But it takes maybe 24 hours of generating to reach that again. Just getting them indexed takes the time.
Hi. I have several blogs but the one that give me the most traffic is at infidelitystinks.blogspot.com and I post on it pretty much about 15 times a month. I had to list it in alot of blog directories to get it going though, but it's got a pretty good readership.
Yup. But google also checks that 255 block of IPs for too many incoming links. All found are devalued. Getting hundreds of IPs off different 255 blocks is next to impossible. Besides, parasite hosting is free, and 99% of the people don't monitor sign-ups. Hell, a lot of them are blackhats themselves who just failed to secure the sign up forms. Wait until I break the WordPress captcha. Shit will go insane.
Well, with my old farm it depended on the product and all, but I hit $350/day from affiliate sales a few times(remember, the blogs traffic doesn't matter, this is the site they were promoting), and topped out some moderately competitive search terms. This new one should do actually better once it's indexed. If it takes too much longer, I'm just going to make maybe 5 junker sites that just list the blogs, and then promote that.
