“Fairly simple really – google your keyword – and try to get links from any authority blogs that you find on the first page” fairly simple but can be hard to do and is very time consuming!

It wasn’t the whole site just the page – and its back now I now have position 2&3 (this blog), 4 (hubpage) and 5(infobarrel) for “teaching sells does it work” – I didn’t do anything – it just came back – I’ve seen it happen before with hubpages – whether its a glitch or deliberate I have no idea – though!

I’m seeing you at No 10, with the infobarrel at 17 and the hubpage at 19.

What is interesting to me is that the No2 spot by DoshDosh dates back to 2007. I thought Google liked fresh content? A bit puzzled.

Anyway I’ve put you in my sidebar with a link to recent post (pitiful linkjuice I know, but every little helps).

Regarding “the often quoted concern that hubpages was losing its authority” – I think Google has done to Hubpages what it did to Squidoo – which is to downgrade it only for certain topics. e.g. after the rush of people churning out hubs on credit cards, you can’t find a single one on the first ten pages of Google… G did the same thing to Squidoo for weight loss.

However, for non-bigmoney topics, Google continues to index both hubs and Squidoo lenses pretty fast.

Re: Infobarrell
I thought once a site was deindexed it required a special request to G for reconsideration. I have never heard of a site get indexed then deindexed and indexed again.
I have had sites get indexed, show up in the serps then disappear from the serps completely only to show back up in a few weeks, but they were still indexed.
It really is strange.

Probably about 6 months Alex – my original title – “My online journey” was literary but hardly searched for LOL. I wanted to stay a long way away from “make money” for obvious reasons (WAAAY too much competition) – but passive income really is my dream – I own rental properties which are pretty passive (with a property manager that is) – but I really am all about lying on the beach and checking my adsense balance on the iPhone LOL!

Maybe its hanging out with my infobarrel? Suspect they will come back so long as we build a few links to them!

Hey Lis,

I think it’s interesting to note that people are complaining about your review, but I bet you ten bucks they suddenly realized how smart you were haha.

Personally I’m lovin that your honest post is doing so well. =)

I can’t think of anything long to write, but I did want to ask you :
How long has this site been targeting passive income ? Bet it’s a hard niche to crack but worth it in the end.

Answer to Question: I really do not know, I have not purposely used tiny URL’s before, or tested them to see.

It is very entertaining to me when someone goes crazy over spelling, but I have found that is usually their only defense against you when standing their “quicksand” position.

I see you almost to page 1 for teaching sells, my post on teaching sells fell out of the index. Maybe Brian used is teaching sells Voodoo.
