Day 2 – Unique Article Wizard-A-Thon & Outsourcing
OK so today was quite tiring, I needed to do some UAW submissions for many of my sites so I could automate their backlinks. Up to today I had already run UAW on 8 of my sniper sites, but that left 21 in need of backlinks…so today, I queued up *7* articles for Unique Article Wizard.
Each run of UAW takes me about 1 hour and for each of those 7 submissions, I put in 2 links at the end, each link pointing to a different sniper site, so I’m building links to 14 of my sniper sites with all of this work… I set UAW to distribute the links to around 1k article sites for each submission at a rate of 5-7 a day.
That just leaves 7 sniper sites to run UAW on which I can take care of in 4 more submissions, then I’ll need to do some submissions of my sniper sites to some of the websites from Steve’s Backlinks package.
Oh, BTW yesterday I had thought I reached a high with 90 hops, but the day wasn’t over, the number of hops yesterday reached 104! O_o
One thing I wanted to mention yesterday was I had tried a service from a WSO which offered 100 high PR backlinks(mostly from Steve’s Backlink package) to a site of yours for I think it was $67..After buying that, I got a nice report of where all my links were and so far, the result has been I’ve moved from #5-6 on page 1 to #1 on page 1 for my keyword. It will be interesting to see though if that placement sticks as I’ve achieved that before in the past and dropped back down.
Having taken this step, I’ve now been thinking more and more about outsourcing. I think that once you reach the point where you’re earning $300-$500/month you can start considering outsourcing content creation to someone in the Philippines with a lot more comfort since your business profits would cover it. At around $2-$3/h, you can hire someone to do content creation for you full-time($300-$500/month). Until you get to the point where your business can fund something like that though, Outsourcing can be a scary place to venture.
I think I’m going to go back to site creation tomorrow…
Earnings For Today:
- 1 Sale for Site #1 = $26.38 (#of hops = 81)
- Adsense = $5.62
Thought I’d mention that I have a bunch of sniper sites made in a certain niche where the keywords I targeted have anywhere between 5-22k searches a month for phrase match. I’ve gotten quite a lot of hops from the sites placing on the first page (126 so far spread out over several sites) but haven’t gotten a sale out of it yet….While these are really high search numbers, the keywords are not the most targeted “buying” keywords….Will be interesting to see when these turn a profit.

Hey Mike,
Thanks for today’s update. That is great about the number of hops. When you outsourced to that person for the Steve backlink package, does he also put a post on the blogs for you? That is really good it moved up so quickly too. Do you submit the rss feeds from the profile pages through submitters? I haven’t outsourced much but I did pay someone in the Philipines to set up 3 blogger blogs with a few posts and he did that for 2.00 each so it was a nice time saver. I definitely want to learn more about this as you do it.
Debbie
OT…
Would you consider putting some affiliate links on here?
I’m looking for an additional host and would be happy to buy through a link of yours. I’m sure others would be happy to do that as well.
Just a thought.
Also had another thought….soon we’re gonna need a forum with all the questions and all the stuff we all learn as we do these sniper sites.{Wink-wink}
Evita
Evita, I sometimes wonder why George has not created a sniper site forum. I think for any system/program there should be a forum. Then questions can be asked easily and george wouldn’t have to respond to the same question 100 times.
104 hops is awesome!
104 hops is awesome! Mike you really inspire me to work harder. I want to see days with over 100 hops!
Hey Debbie, thanks, ya….he does make 1 post, that post contains 2 links also which in my case was for someone else’s site, my site was in the blogroll along with other people’s sites, he does a bunch of people’s links at one time.
BTW, I saw the same results after submitting to around 15 of Steve’s sites, but my site went back down…I just checked and my site is still #1, I’m hoping it stays.
I got a list of the RSS feeds and the links which can be bookmarked as well…I only submitted 8 of the feeds using RSS Submit though.
Ya, outsourcing is definitely a must in this business, at least if you want to grow your business without working your butt off all the time.
Evita, sure :> My main focus with this blog wasn’t to make money, I didn’t want to be the guy who makes money by helping other people make money..That’s also why I didn’t make a WSO out of this..I’ll see if I can post up on the side sometime today links to products/services I personally use.
Feel free to ask any questions here, I don’t think it’s too crowded just yet… but if things get that way, I’ll look into setting up a forum :>
Thanks Shelly and Donna, ya, I was VERY happy to see I passed the 100 mark! Before I created all these sniper sites I was getting 40-60 hops a day…now it’s almost doubled! Getting extra hops is soooo much easier the more sites you have.
I know you don’t do this to make money. But what you do is greatly appreciated, and if we buy sth. that puts a few dollars into your pocket, then it is a win-win situation.
100 hops is fab!! How many visitors in total did it take to get the 100 hops?
@Evita
You know, that’s an interesting question…I actually didn’t know how many visitors it took to get that, but I just took some time to compute it (although I accidentally used yesterday’s data which is for 83 hops total):
Site#1 = 217 visits – 23 hops
Site#2 = 72 visits – 8 hops
Site#3 = 50 visits – 11 hops
Site#4 = 60 visits – 1 hop
Site#5 = 61 visits – 2 hops
Sniper#1 = 22 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#2 = 14 visits – 3 hops
Sniper#3 = 7 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#4 = 19 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#5 = 26 visits – 11 hops
Sniper#6 = 15 visits – 4 hops
Sniper#7 = 17 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#8 = 15 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#9 = 19 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#10 = 20 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#11 = 10 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#12 = 27 visits – 6 hops
Sniper#13 = 20 visits – 1 hop
Sniper#14 = 36 visits – 2 hops
Sniper#15 = 27 visits – 2 hops
754 visits = 83 total hops
Since I did the calculations on the wrong day, I just extrapolated it out to find out around how many visitors I’d need to get 104 hops and found it to be 950:
950 visits(not uniques) = 104 hops
So simplifying it, basically 1k visitors in my case brought 100 hops.
So basically, 750 visitors made you $32. (more or less)
Some of your sniper sites, even though there is not enough data to really know yet, seem to get a great hop through. #2, 5 and 12 are just percolating ;>
Anyway,,, just thinking out loud.
@Evita
Well, all visitors aren’t created equal so I wouldn’t exactly think of it in those terms.
But ya, those sites are getting some good hops, I’m just waiting for them to convert..2 of the sites you mentioned are in the same niche, a niche which I’ve made 12 sites for, gotten 154 hops total for but no sales as of yet…
I’m with Evita. Mike, do post up your affiliate links here. Your sharing is very much appreciated :>
