I’ll give a big shoutout to my woot-o-riffic splogs running that dedi into the ground. Woohoo!

On the real side of progress, here’s the main points …

People sent to eBay: 1867
…in the last day: 493

Have a good Friday night everyone, I know I will. I’ll post a few more things most likely in the next day or two. Just been a tad busy.

Well it’s about that time. Here’s a few raw stats from my stats page so far (across all of these only about 2-3 domains are indexed): People sent to eBay: 204 …in the last day: 14 One: Blogs: 972 Total Posts: 56070 Two: Blogs: 971 Total Posts: 66630 Three: Blogs: 971 Total Posts: 52186 Four: [...]

Well it’s about that time. Here’s a few raw stats from my stats page so far (across all of these only about 2-3 domains are indexed):

People sent to eBay: 204
…in the last day: 14

One:
Blogs: 972
Total Posts: 56070

Two:
Blogs: 971
Total Posts: 66630

Three:
Blogs: 971
Total Posts: 52186

Four:
Blogs: 971
Total Posts: 34251

Those are the beginning ones. I’m adding a few more things such as keyword mutation and multiplication. So far with only 4 domains being indexed, and the only index is the root page – the “to EPN” stats are nice. Before anyone asks, that’s AFTER I filtered out the Spiders, automated clicks, etc. I’m assuming most of this traffic has come from the ping services when I did a single pingout themselves. I guess we’ll see. I’m going to most likely do one more in a day or two and see what happens.

The content generation alone has already crashed my dual xeon twice (and yes, everything’s optimized – Dual 2.0 Xeon with 4 GB RAM / Dual 250 GB SATA II’s). My average transit usage per day is 100 GB. This should most likely bring me to around 3 TB by the end of the month, so most likely I’ll throttle it back a little so I don’t get about $2000 in transit overages.

Anyway, this is just the first update. I’ll update this more as time goes along. By the way, already $30 more spiked into EPN than average over the last 2 days. Guess it’s working so far.

I’ll be updating this more as I’m down in Scary SEO with the CMC crew. Until then – automation is key kids. And if the key is turned right, you’ll see results.

As you do research into the realm of BlackHat SEO you’ll often read a lot of articles and/or content about spam blogs. Here’s the skinny on exactly how that works (at least for my empire). Each of my projects will change on a day to day basis on how it works. One day I may be massively spamming WPMU blogs with XMLRPC, and the next uploading post content with a delay for the next 5 years. It all depends on the mood I’m currently in. This is one of my bread and butter ideas that not a lot of people will use, but should.

With this technique you’ll be able to blast out backlinks for whatever you want on a hourly basis, and make sure to distribute it across multiple Class C IP’s for your use later on. I’m assuming that if you’re reading this you’re at least somewhat familiar with what a spam blog is, and you’re decently familiar with what an RSS feed is. These will be the basis for this technique that I’m about to explain. The best feature about this technique is that people running these blog networks should have no idea that you’re doing anything bad at all. The CPU load won’t spike, ram usage won’t increase, nothing. And on top of that, you have 100% control without releasing any source code.

So what exactly am I talking about? I’m talking about instead of using a plugin such as FeedWordPress with some Markov in it, you use just straight FeedWordPress and skip the middleman – you modify the feed itself. This way whenever the feed gets a hit you can Markov a few articles up and serve them out. Yes, this would use your resources a little more – however with this you can put this into the first article for a day or two: “I really like <LINK>RC cars</LINK>” and then you have backlinks across an entire blog farm. Or even down the ratio, every other link you do it. If you base it on referrer and/or IP address you can make sure one blog doesn’t post more than one link, or sublet it out to certain farms within your control.

The whole point to using your own feed as the source is the fact that to the administrator of these free blog hosts, you’ll appear to be a normal user. Doing your normal calls here and there for importing feed items. You’ll get unique content. You’ll drive traffic. They’ll love you! All the meanwhile you’ll really also be making your own money inserting links and link strength across thousands of sites.

Anyway, that’s my little tip of the night. Wanted to test out my new iMac with a little type-o-thon. Hope you all enjoyed the read.

The EPN Redundancy Experiment is a half case study, half test of the “scraper sites” method. I’ll be launching roughly 70,000 blogs which are each completely automated to see what kind of results I can bring in via EPN. All of these blogs are 100% link-spam free, no cloaking/cookie stuffing, and points the visitor directly [...]

The EPN Redundancy Experiment is a half case study, half test of the “scraper sites” method. I’ll be launching roughly 70,000 blogs which are each completely automated to see what kind of results I can bring in via EPN. All of these blogs are 100% link-spam free, no cloaking/cookie stuffing, and points the visitor directly to the product they were looking for. In other words, these are an A+ on the scale for “user experience”.

The goal for this will be I want other domains to pick up the slack when the earlier ones go down. The main achievement I’m going to attempt to achieve will be “rolling commissions”. This means when the sites are penalized (if they do get penalized) and go from 300-400 uniques/day to <100, I want another domain to step up index wise and take over. For this redundancy experiment I’ve chosen to use a number of domains under 10, but each will contain roughly 1000 sub domains that all have automatic content updates & product pushes.

This will be an experiment to see how much in commission I can receive by the 30th of next month. Let the fun begin!

Momentum is one of the hardest things to gain in SEM if you’re starting with nothing. You have no sister sites to uplink with, nor any other networks you can drop a link on.

Momentum is one of the hardest things to gain in SEM if you’re starting with nothing. You have no sister sites to uplink with, nor any other networks you can drop a link on. You’re forced to do everything manually (or pay someone else obviously) without any head start what so ever. How exactly should you get started? What should your first move be? How can you keep it going?

There’s a few things you can do. Let’s start on the free (and legal) side.

• Submit your site to Social Bookmarking sites
• Submit your site to Directories.
• Find sites to request a link for, this takes a lot of time usually.
• Write or obtain a free tool to link spam with
• Spam sites yourself.
• Leave comments on blogs and/or forums.

Now on the slightly paid side, I highly highly suggest the following:

• Social Bookmarking submissions (Personally I use Red_Virus) Price: 100 submits / ~$25
• Directory Submissions (same) Price: 500 submits/~$35 – 1000 submits/~$65
• Blog Commenting
• Purchasing Stumbles
• Purchasing Diggs
• etc…

Each of these can help you get started on your momentum, but let’s talk about how this will help you in the future once you start rollin’ down the hill.

The whole goal of getting the momentum going is that when you have your first site that achieves what I call “eagle eye” is when you start spreading it out. Eagle eye is a term that I use when I can go to a site or blog, post some content and in about 30 minutes it’s already updated on the Google index. The term derived from the fact that Google watches your site like an eagle to his prey.

The best way to get a site started on it’s journey is to do the linking properly. Usually I drop a link to my new site from Stumble & Digg. That alone should get it indexed (main page) within 24 hours, and if you have a lot of dynamic pages make sure you have a sitemap configured to have it be respidered every day or every week. I have another theory that this will help for another reason, but we’ll get to that another day.

The linking should get you indexed, but now you need some good strong backlinks. Go out and find some places to leave comments. Make sure you don’t BS them … write a good constructive comment and leave your URL with your name as the anchor you want to rank for.

The main thing you need to do is set yourself goals and set a plan of attack for outranking your competition. Start with gauging what their typical increase in links is per day. If they get 150 links a month roughly and you have a base of 500 links right now and you’d like to catch them in 2 months, you need more than 800 links within those two months. Always get a goal is a tad bit out of reach so that you push yourself to excel above and beyond what you think you’ll achieve.

Setting yourself a goal for top 5 is great, but trying for top 5 and achieving 2nd place is a whole other ballgame. I know that personally I set myself a goal of increasing my profit per month by 20%. So far I’ve hit it every time, and some months even gotten 300% extra. It’s all about momentum. If done properly you’ll not only surprise yourself but push yourself higher than ever before. Always keep yourself focused on a goal and then don’t just try to meet it, but exceed it.

Always try to surprise yourself and hit goals you never hit before. That’s how you’ll get to the place you’re going, except much faster.
