7 days ago I did an experiment and built five page niche sites. Here's how I set them up: Low-competition keywords with 8000-9000 global exact matches .com containing full keyword Standard off-the-shelf WordPress theme from ElegantThemes Five article of around 500-600 words (outsourced to TextBroker at the time, now I have a VA for this sort of thing) Keyword used only 2-3 times an article, including variations 2-3 relevant external links in article After 5 days,It has moved up to #3 in Google.CTR has been around 4.5% and the site made $0.27 from AdSense over the last 7 days. Google just made an Algorithm update which was mainly geared towards EMD's and sites with low quality content. It effects a few other things as well but that was mainly it for the most part. Though, I'm going to offer everyone a few tips below that you MUST follow now to either maintain your ranking before you lose it, or, to get back the ranking that you lost: -No more spun or copied content The new Google Algorithm update is much more on top of things now and they are taking content very seriously. Research and then write your own content (Or hire someone). Unique and quality content is a must and can't tell you how important this now is. -Have a Good Link Diversity Having low quality links coming to your site or low quality links coming to your linked sites can raise a red flag. They are not reviewing second tier incoming links which means if the site linking to you has low quality links, the impact on your site will be much greater now then it was before. -Social Media Links Have they always been important? Yes. Are they more important now? Yes! SEO is moving up a notch in many aspects and believe it or not, your site can be penalized from having "NO" Social Media back links. Though you may not see a significant drop in ranking(s) from no Social Media links, they consider sites that have links from Twitter, Facebook and YouTube to be more diverse in their online presence and ultimately consider them to have a higher level of reputability.
Good work! You got the top ranking at Google by using EMD in 7 days, I think keywords that you chosen are low competition. However, you can scale up this method for earning money more if you want.
That's really good. Low competition keywords is really helpful to get boost in Search engine. But the tips you have given is not so much strong to boost your website position in search engine.
7 days, looks like your sites could just be sitting in the "honey moon" period. I'd keep an eye on the rankings, they could still drop. Obviously though if the content is unique, relevant and not full of keyword spam then most of the updates won't affect you.
