So today I was at another b-day party, this time for my friend’s daughter’s 1 year b-day…When I got back home I was able to get 20 articles outsourced.

Now when I outsource these articles, they take quite a bit of time…What I need to do is adjust the articles a bit as if they have too many periods, they wind up costing way too much…I’ve got to bring each article down to reasonable levels.  At this point I edit down most of my 450-480 word articles to $3.30-3.50.

Then once I’ve done that, I’ve got to fill in the form and submit it…It takes about 10-15min per article…This is assuming I’m rewriting my hubs as Infobarrels…if I’m pulling content for hubs, I’ve got to spend time finding the Ezine Article to use as a base(an article >450 words that’s written well).

Now that my schedule is back open, I’m hoping to get more work done tomorrow.  I have 10 more articles to outsource for Infobarrels then I need to spend a ton of time posting everything up.

I’m also going to have to look into going into new Hub niches, because it seems like I may not have chosen some good ones based on the results I’ve seen thus far(although it may be to early to tell).  I’m going to still backlink all these hubs and see how that works out, but I’m going to be looking for some new niches that will hopefully be more profitable.

Earnings For Today:

• $53.50 – 1 sale for Site #1 & 1 sale for a sniper site I made 3 weeks ago
• 526 hops
• Adsense = $2.88 (small amount from Hubs)

So today I got back 12 of the articles I had outsourced earlier, which coupled with the 8 I wrote myself gives me 20 new articles to post up as new hubs.  I have yet to post this, but when I do, it will bring my hub count to 160.

I’ve realized that my traffic to my hubs is pretty low and I’m not really earning anything substantial from my hubs…To speed things along a bit, I’ve decided to start backlinking to my hubs at this point, waiting around for my hubs to age was just too tedious!

So, I went ahead and outsourced 40 of my already existing articles used for hubs to be rewritten so that I may post them up on Infobarrel.  Each Infobarrel will then serve as a backlink to 2 hubs, so that will be 80 backlinks total.

Tomorrow I’ll outsource another 40 articles to serve as backlinks and see if I can start posting them up.  It’s crazy how fast things are coming along now…makes it more fun!

Earnings For Today:

• $62.45 – 1 Sale from a sniper site that is 8 days old = $25.48, a sale for $16.61 for another sniper and the first sale for a sniper site which is 3 months old O_o = $20.36
• 571 hops
• Adsense = $2.49 (Little bit of Hubpage income there)

Holding Down The Fort

Over the last few days you may have noticed my hops have declined a bit…they used to be in the high 400’s or even in the 500’s…lately they have been in the high 300’s so I decided to do some investigation into why that was.  What I found out was that it seems like there is more competition in my main sniper niche all of a sudden.  Part of it is people with old sites realizing their spots are gone and trying to have a go at them again and I even noticed a few newcomers.

So I’ve come to realize that just running UAW once may not be enough in some niches to hold down the fort.  Seeing this, I’ve decided to devise a more involved backlinking plan.

I was talking with Ben today and got some good ideas from him.  One was that I could pick up Magic Article Re-writer and use that to quickly re-write an article submitted to UAW sufficiently(30%+ unique) so that it can be resubmitted to UAW again.  When submitting it again, I could then submit to UAW under different categories to spread out the distribution more.  I could then use this spun up article to submit to Article Marketing Automation as well, and do the same thing there (re-submit spun articles under different categories).

I don’t currently have Article Marketing Automation, so I’m holding off on that for now…But I did pick up Magic Article Rewriter…I find it better than Power Article Rewriter as it provides you better synonyms and it also can accept and save your own synonym suggestions so that it becomes better at substituting the more you use it.  It also has the option to “replace all” so you can spin all occurances of say “can’t” with “can not” (ie: {can’t|can not} )

So since I don’t have Article Marketing Automation, I decided to use SENuke and see how that helps.  I did 2 runs of it so far and built backlinks up for 4 of my sites in total, 2 links per submission.  I created a blogger blog, wordpress blog, quizilla, wikispaces, wetpaint, tripod, hubpage, zimbio, goarticle, msn space, google site and webs.com site and had all of those link back to my sites…After those sites were created, they were then bookmarked at about 10 or so bookmarking sites and then I submitted the RSS feeds for all the Web 2.0 properties to a bunch of RSS Directories.

Now when I did the SENuke submission, what I did was just pull one of my UAW articles to use for it.  I did use Magic Article Re-writer on it a bit though to make it 30% unique so there will be a better chance of all these Web 2.0 sites showing up in Google to bring in more traffic to my sites(although backlinking is my main concern).

I tried interlinking all the Web 2.0 sites although I stopped 1/2 way through doing it for 1 of the submissions as it was taking a long time.  Brute Force SEO was good for auto creating and autolinking Web 2.0 properties, although it was quite buggy.

I logged where my sites were today and will see tomorrow if there is any change.  I may continue using SENuke to build up more backlinks to my sites, or I may look into other options.  The other options include using an article submitter.  Now I’ve gotten Article Drip Robot, but since then, better programs have come out.  There is Article Bot out now as well as Automatic Article Submitter.  If I were to choose between the 2, I’d likely get Automatic Article Submitter as that not only auto creates accounts, but it auto-confirms all the e-mails unlike ArticleBot.  Also Automatic Article Submitter allows the body of the articles to be spun and the article submission to be staggered.

So the other possibility is to take the UAW articles, run them through Magic Article Rewriter for 15-25 min, get them 30% unique, then submit that to various article directories through Automatic Article Submitter.

I’ll be experimenting with different things and will eventually settle in on something.
