Gum Digger with His Tools - (Kauri gum made some people a lot of money in 19th century NZ - if they looked in the riight place) Dargaville

Who needs new keywords then?  Well any of us who want to make money online in my experience. As I mentioned recently, I’m using Wizzley to make some fast cash - though this approach will make you money regardless of the platform – so long as the website is in Google’s good graces.  So does it work? Let’s see – I was aiming for 7 articles/day on Wizzley – hmm not quite – I’m up to 17 articles on my main account on wizzley – so what have I have I earned?  As as of 13 Jan – I’ve made $46 from Amazon and  as of 15 Jan $30 from Adsense, that’s not bad given the age of most of my articles and how few of them I have.   I’m also getting a 10% order rate ie from around 450 clicks – I had 45 orders – I don’t have a huge amount of Amazon data to judge this by – but to this looks like a pretty darn good conversion rate.  What I am doing with Wizzley is a slightly new approach to me. As some of you will know most of us have been continuously frustrated with Google’s [...] Read more »

Wizzley Review: The Answer to the Hubpages Scam?

Written by on · 22 Comments
wizzley

Are Lissie and her scams right? Well its hardly my fault that scam is a the word Google likes to give this blog authority on. Well OK maybe it is my fault! And so yes I can use it to my own benefit as in HubPages Scam, SEO Scribe Scam, Keyword Academy Scam, and of course the one that started it all SiteSell Scam.  What is Wizzley? Wizzley is a place to write articles and get paid via affiliate programs plus get backlinks to your sites. It has a nice set of tools which are drag drop to build your “wizzes” (yeah really that’s what an article is called, where I come from is what a little boy does when he stands up to go to the loo – but whatever!). You have to have at least 400 words, the usual topics (porn, guns, drugs) are banned as are some other rather commonly over-used topics including acne, credit card debt, forex and weight loss.  What does Wizzley offer?  revenue share starts at 50% – goes to 55% after 50 articles and 60% after 100 articles;  revenue is from Adsense, Amazon, Zazzle and AllPosters – and you are paid direct by [...] Read more »

Keyword Academy 2.0 Review – TKA 2.0 Review: Scam or Legit

Written by on · 44 Comments
Lissie hard at it doing more research for you!

UPDATED January 2012. The Keyword Academy drives me insane sometimes! If we could just get Mark to dot some “i’s” and “t’s” it would be so much easier!  Its been a long time since I did my first Keyword Academy review – nearly 3 years  in fact. So is the Keyword Academy still working in 2012?  Yes it is but some of wish Mark would hurry up and update his bloody sale’s page from time-to-time – like once every couple of years OK!  Google is always changing the game, and in 2011, in response to changes in Google (known as “”Panda-monium” by those of low humour standards) – so-called TKA2.0 was released.  The core lessons were updated, changed from video format (really hard to update) to written form, some tools had to be retired because they just didn’t work with anymore with the changes to Google’s programming feed. But now the buzz is that The Keyword Academy 2.0 is out and I’ve had emails asking – is this program still good to go – is it worth it could you please update your Keyword Academy review? What’s changed – will it still work for me? Does Keyword Academy work in a [...] Read more »

Keyword Academy Case Study: Does Postrunner Work?

Written by on · 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 »

Hubpages 3 Years On

Written by on · 52 Comments
hubpages-front

On the 19th of September 2007 I published my first hub – it was short, it was self-promotional – the url was wrong  for SEO. Over 3 years it has gained a total of 1143 page views – almost all of which are from search engines. It may have made me some money – I doubt it – but I don’t know, I didn’t track that hub The hub was about midlife travel. That month my total online income was  $1.98 One of my most recent hubs was about the chances of a Wellington earthquake . It was indexed within a few hours – I expect it will have PR on the next update – I’ve built no links to it.  In August my online income from passive sources was $1600. When I started on Hubpages – I had two  sites – I had made next to nothing (like less than $10 nothing) – I was newly a full-time “Internet Marketer” and I was going to making a good income my Xmas… This was long,  long before Keyword Academy, I don’t think I would have survived long enough to get to The Keyword Academy – if it hadn’t been for HubPages What HubPages [...] Read more »

Impact Page Builder Review

Hi – its OK its really me Lis! I just moved the furniture around a bit!  BTW if you are reading this via the RSS feed you may want to click thru as I am talking about the look and feel of this page in this post – you kinda have to be here! Anyway as you might have gathered this post is promoting Impact Page Builder – why? Well because I have building up your trust so that you would buy lots from me and pay for the overseas holiday to somewhere warm! Well to be honest from what I’ve seen no one makes any serious money promoting stuff that is one off purchases like Impact Page Builder – the market is just too small and  there is no agressive upsell or membership sites – which is where the money really is at! Anyway getting back to Impact Page Builder. This is a brand new plugin from Eric Hamm – of Frugal Theme fame.  Well its been out a couple of weeks – it took Leo’s newsletter to wake me up to its potential. (If you are not subscribed – you’re an idiot – subscribe). Impact Page Builder – [...] Read more »

Computer dog?

OK so its been two months since I did the last Keyword Academy Case Study update! Postrunner Articles Live Since the 6 May I’ve published another 13 articles – with five sent but not yet published – so yes most of them have been published in the last couple of weeks! However I  now have some regular writers on board so I will hopefully get a more consistent number of articles published this month! Rankings As of 2 August 2010 Rankings on (2 June | 30 April ,14 April 2010 in brackets | 8 April 2010) 18 pages indexed in Google (24, 26, 15 |13 pages) 13 backlink recognized in yahoo (13,13 ,6,1, 0) domain name exact match long-tail: 8 (12, 14, 17 | 17) main keyword:14 (21, 17, 34 | 61) main keyword singular: 12 (19 ,19 , 31 | 61) Sorry I’ve stuffed up the tracking of the cousins – to the point I can’t remember which was which LOL. Suffice to say that they have all improved since 2 June and are now all on page 3 or 2. Note about the rankings – as I am still only getting trickle traffic – according to scroogle.org I am 14th [...] Read more »

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.

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.
