Build My Rank Review Compared to Postrunner

Written by Lis on October 4, 2010 · 45 Comments

OK short version – BuildMyRank.com is the best thing since sliced bread - will make you millions in your sleep without doing anything – can’t imagine why they are giving it away at the current price – but I am sure it will go up – ACT now to lock in the currently insanely low price, BUY IT now! SELF SERVING HONKING BIG AFFILIATE LINK HERE! You still here? Darn – oh you want a real review ? Sorry I can’t actually give that to you – cause I haven’t been using it long enough to give you months and months of stats. But I’ve used it long enough to be hugely excited by it. UPDATE: May 2011 – buildmyrank still works well – and I am still using – the price has gone up a little – details below. UPDATE: November 2011 – I’m still using BMR and am happy with it but also check out a Build My Rank alternative that is a new service - SEO Cobra Backlinks As I wrote recently – I am not 100% happy with Postrunner – mainly because of the percentage of articles which aren’t getting indexed. So when I was [...] Read more »

Keyword Academy Case Study: Does Postrunner Work?

Written by Lis on September 27, 2010 · 32 Comments

Wellington Harbour Entrance - looking towards Pencarrow

OK this is my last Keyword Academy Case Study post – its a review of where I got a new site to in the rankings by solely using Postrunner for back links and some thoughts about the quality of the Postrunner system. As of 27 September – my postrunner promoted site had the following statistics: Rankings on 27 September (2 August, 2 June | 30 April ,14 April 2010 in brackets | 8 April 2010) 15 pages indexed in Google (18, 24, 26, 15 |13 pages) 23 backlink recognized in yahoo (15, 13,13 ,6,1, 0) domain name exact match long-tail: 5 (8, 12, 14, 17 | 17) main keyword: 9 (14, 21, 17, 34 | 61) main keyword singular: 1 (12, 19 ,19 , 31 | 61) 4 other cousins are on page 1 and the other 2 are on page 2. A qualified success I think – but only qualified. Why only qualified? I have published 69 posts in Postrunner to support this site the most recent went live on the 23 August 2010. However of those 69 fully 22 are not indexed. Now each and every one of those posts went to a different site in Postrunner – so I [...] Read more »

Keyword Academy Case Study – One Month Update

Written by Lis on May 3, 2010 · 5 Comments

End of the first month with my little Keyword Academy Case Study with the statistics for my new site after a month of Postrunner submissions. Basically the site seems to be growing naturally with solid page 2 rankings for both my exact domain match and my main keyword. I have the distinct feel that the exact domain bonus drops siginficantly down if you have more than two words in the domain (this domain has four). Rankings as of 30 April 2010 Rankings on 30 April (14 April 2020 in brackets | 8 April 2010) 26 pages indexed in Google (15 |13 pages) backlink recognised in yahoo 6 (1, 0) domain name exact match long-tail: 14 (17 | 17) main keyword: 17 (34 | 61) main keyword singular: 19 (31 | 61) cousin keyword #1 ; 24 (63 | 47) cousin keyword #2: 22 (43 | > 100) cousin keyword #3 82 (>100 | > 100) cousin keyword #4 >100 (> 100 |>100) cousin keyword #5: 25 (and 78 double listing) (49 | 37) cousin keyword #6: 39 (60 | 71) cousin keyword #7: 33 (60 | 71) Postrunner Articles Live 25 articles live 2 still waiting review.

Keyword Academy – Postrunner Tutorial – Adding A Site

Written by Lis on April 12, 2010 · 24 Comments

Crossing the Finsh Line - Mt Panorma, Bathurst, NSW, Austalia

I talked about using the Postrunner Guest Posting system in my earlier Postrunner tutorial This time I want to talk about the other side of the coin – adding a WordPress blog into the system and becoming a recipient of others articles. Why Would You Add a Blog to Postrunner Have you ever stopped to wonder why sites such as EzineArticles will publish your article for free? Because they love you and really want to help you to promote your latest little acai berry weight loss site? Nope they do it because they make from it – a lot of money. Same as HubPages – they at least share some of the revenue – EzineArticles doesn’t. And neither do the Postrunner directories. So from an owner’s point of view I am getting a ton of free content which is often focused around an easy (green) keyword – the keyword is often in the title. How hard would it be to get that article to rank for that keyword? Get search traffic and then I get people who will click on my ads. How much have I made with my Postrunner sites to date (I have three in the system at the [...] Read more »

Keyword Academy Case Study – Link Building Timeline

Written by Lis on April 9, 2010 · 19 Comments

Is there a link out there? Nope just the Tasman Sea!

This is the fourth part of the Keyword Academy Case Study series – if you are new here you may want to start with part 1, part 2 and part 3 (Postrunner tutorial) So now we have the keywords chosen, the site installed – now what? Well first – particularly if this is a brand new domain – which mine is – you need to get the site indexed. There is a sure fire way to do this – find a site which is being crawled by Google a lot – and get a link from it. I used Postrunner obviously – and many people there will tell you their site has very fast indexing – most of them don’t lie either. Once I find a site that gets crawled a lot and gets sites indexed easily I carefully document and remember it (i.e. I scribble its name semi-legibly on a post it note and stick it on the white board). How To Know If A Site has Quick Indexing Two types of sites seem to get quick indexing in my experience: authority sites sites whith lots and lots of updating content This site is an authority site (google lissowerbutts.com [...] Read more »

Keyword Academy Case Study – PostRunner Tutorial

Written by Lis on April 6, 2010 · 28 Comments

UPDATED: April 2012 Check out my Postrunner V2 Review . I will update this these once the new Postrunner is live OK I am seeing quite a few questions about Postrunner – The Keyword Academy’s link building tool – so I thought I’d throw an extra post into my Keyword Academy Case Study series detailing the how and, probably more importantly the why of using the PostRunner system (formerly the Guest Posting System, GPS). Even if you aren’t a member this might be helpful if you don’t understand why some of us get excited about giving away our content for free! This post is about Postrunner from an article submitters point-of-view. If you are interested in being a Postrunner Review for publishers – see my second post about Postrunner- Adding a Site What is Guest Posting? There are lots of ways to get links – but high on most lists is “guest posting”. You contribute as a guest on another blog and in return get a link back from the site and maybe some traffic as well. Here’s a guest post I did recently: Building an Online Income. Now, finding places to contribute guest posts, if you are in the niche [...] Read more »

Passive Income and Backlinks No Fluff

Written by Lis on January 31, 2010 · 21 Comments

Waitangi Park, and Te Papa, Wellington, NZ

Backlinks are key in this business – I hope most of you know that already! I could go on and on about backlinks – particular backlinks for DIY sites which make lots of passive income with Adsense. But I won’t – mainly because my mate Allyn is on and on about it – he seems to have morphed from the stroppy beer-drinking persona – to a nice non-fluff teaching bloke without a budget to afford a chair in his new fancy videos – and I do find the black background pretty dull compared to his DIY kitchen. Anyway he has this post up which is all about backlinks – and if you understand nothing else about making a passive income online – backlinks are the #1, important thing to focus on – yes more important than the number of twitter followers you have, more important than the number of stumbles you have and more important than the content on your site. Good content is quite useful – in fact the only reason I linking to Allyn is because he has put together the definitive post about everything you need to know about backlinks So now every time I get asked [...] Read more »

Most Bloggers Are Effing Clueless!

Written by Lis on July 16, 2009 · 34 Comments

Bloggers are absolutely bloody clueless – well except for my friends of course. But most of the bloggers out there really don’t know which way is up. Most bloggers bitch about one of two things: coming up with new ideas for their blogs or not getting paid to blog! The whole today.com fiasco had blame on both sides – there were an awful lot of bloggers who were convinced they were owed a living based on their inane, or even well-written, ramblings about their day-to-day life. (BTW if you were thinking why not to that last sentence – try putting up your own blog along these lines and living off the resulting revenue… ) Which brings me to the point of this post. I do some freelance work for an agency. That agency gives me articles which need to be placed on relevant blogs – that’s not so hard is it? After all most bloggers want unique content right? Actually absolutely not correct. I have kept a bit of a list and I find if I try to contact 10 blogs that look suitable the break down goes something like this 1 blog will have absolutely no way to contact [...] Read more »

Hubpage Challenge 100 Hubs in 30 Days

Written by Lis on May 10, 2009 · 12 Comments

OK so not a day after I write about diversifying to other Web 2.0 article sites and review InfoBarrel the great Hubpage challenge blows up all over the Internet. If you have been asleep under a rock and not paying attention it went like the: Court decided to have a new money making experiment: 100 hubs in 30 days. Well Hubpage’s marketing guy Ryan Hupfer noticed this (btw if you are wondering how this sort of thing happens – I have 2 words for you “google alerts” a great way to know what people are saying about you!). Long story short we now have The Great Hub Challenge: Read more »
