I've seen few days ago a thread about no-follow links affecting SERP's and/or PR, so I decided to make a little experiment.(not only for that, but to practice and learn more about SEO) First I spent about 4 hours doing keyword research and finding a domain to contain the keywords. I wont tell anyone the keywords, domain and/or niche, so PLEASE DON'T ASK. This is an experiment, but if everything goes well I will take it more seriously, so I don't need competition . For link building I'll be using a comment submitter software, and I'll submit only on no-follow blogs. Ok, now the details: keyword: two words , competition: 670.000 (with qutation marks), 12.000.000 (without) domain: keywords.net registered two days ago ( .com it's allready taken) website: wordpress content: NOT original First Day: It took me an hour to install and fine tune wordpress on my server and post 3 posts (not original content, it's something like having a jokes site, the jokes are duplicates aren't they?). I made the usual on-page SEO, like title (contain keywords), description (contain keywords).. I submitted the homepage to Digg for fast indexing. I submited comments to 300 blogs with IRELEVANT anchor text ( out of 300 blogs I hope to get at least 150 approved comments) After 4 hours the site was indexed (all 5 pages) with homepage on first page position 10 for keywords. Conlusion: keywords in domain are very important. I will wait 7 days before I submit another 300 comments( this time with RELEVANT anchor text).
So did you manual commented on 300 blog posts or was it automated with some software ? and also 150/300 is a good approval rate for the blog comments.
No...I'm using a software bought here on DP....I used this software before and approval rate is usually higher than 50%. This sofware is using as many comments as you like (it will rotate them).
If you dont mind, can you please share the name of the software or the thread from which you bought it, I am interested in buying one of em.
This is the thread for the auto comment submitter http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1124949 I forgot to mention that the keywords I'm targeting have 170,000 avg searches on Google (google keyword tool)
Now, maybe I missed the part about the no-follow links, but were the blogs you commented on no- follow, or are you referring to the digg submission? And I completely agree that keywords in the domain provide a major advantage.
I was talking about the blogs.... The digg submission was done only to have the site indexed very fast.
Surely there are too many issues here to get results that can be interpreted reliably - duplicate content AND irrelevant anchor text ( I really don't get this - why did you do this?) AND nofollow
Well, it's useful to see whether the anchor text makes any difference isn't it? I'm looking forward to seeing the results comparison in a week's time...
Well....duplicate content - I can't have original content due to the nature of the site ( I said before...if you run a jokes site, you will have duplicate content....my site is similar) irrelevant anchor text - I want to see if it makes any difference...and if it does how much it does (but as you said, one week it's not enough to have reliable results) and nofollow - that's the main reason I'm making this experiment (most of the people are saying that nofollow it's completely useless, but I think they DO matter, maybe not for PR but for SERP)
