I’ll be updating this post with my results as I start to see them. I may set up some tests of the service like I have done in the past for some of the article marketing services I have used, but I haven’t got to the point just yet (I just joined today.)

First Test (code name: prs-mem)

I’m testing it out on a couple of pages that I’m not building links to otherwise. These are subpages on a 2007 domain with a PR 3 which itself ranks on the first page of Google for its primary keyword (I’m also using LinkAloha on the homepage but I’m using other services too so it doesn’t represent as a pure of a test.)

The target keywords for these test pages are not particularly competitive keywords (according to Google Keyword Tool there are only 110 and 260 searches a month respectively) but they do make me a decent little profit (and they are related to something happening this year so the searches & profits should be up — ie: something that happens every four years.)

The first page currently ranks #9 for its primary target (17K exact matches) on Google and the second page ranks #5 for its primary target (444K exact matches.) I’ll be updating here with how the service works on these pages.

I will also be adding at least one more test, probably two or three more. I want to try it out on more difficult keywords as well as on a newer domain that is not already established.

+ As of 2/1/12 there has been very little movement. They are ranking #8 (+1) & #5 (no movement) now.

Second Test (code name: livhot)

This is a test on a much more competitive keyword (1.1 million exact matches) on a rather new domain (September 2011.) There are 27,000 phrase searches a month for this keyword according to Google’s Keyword Tool. As of now the site does not rank in the top 100 on Google. Success in this test would be quite impressive (and would make me a significant amount of money.)  This is in contrast to the first test which really should be quite easy.

+ As of 2/1/12 the site ranks at #193 for its target keyword. I’m not sure if this represents an improvement because I actually didn’t check past the first 100 when I started the test. But I want to get this ranking down with a date so we can see improvements in the future more clearly. I am not building links for this domain in any other way besides LinkAloha.

Third Test (waldhot)

The third test is for a subpage on an aged domain. The domain has a PR 3 and was registered in 2006. The main target keyword has 1.4 million exact matches with 12,000 phrase searches a month. As with the first two tests I am only using LinkAloha for link building to this page.

+ As of 2/1/12 this page ranks #112 for its main target keyword. I think this already represents an improvement but I can’t say for sure because I didn’t check this low when first adding the page to the system.

I’ve tried promoting a lot of other affiliate programs in this niche but I’ve never as much success with any of them as this one. I’m not really sure why that is true, but it is. And unlike some affiliate programs; They always pay on time (weekly if you want.)

How Do I Make My Vimax Sales?

I’m an organic search guy so that’s how I approach this niche (as I approach any other.) I know there are some affiliates who have great success with other approaches, so I’m not claiming this is the only way (or even the “best”) way to go about it. It’s just a way that works for me.

The hard thing doing SEO for the male enhancement niche is that a lot of link building systems that work for other niches don’t work for this one. But there are a few things that I use that you can get some results with:

1. Article Marketing Automation.
2. ArticleRanks.
3. Free Traffic System.

I think most everyone knows Google is better than Bing/Yahoo but I because I rarely use Bing/Yahoo I’m actually surprised by how much better it performed on this search. It’s not even close.

Google gets the correct result (the movie Source Code) with each of its top five listings, while Bing/Yahoo don’t have a single correct result among their top 7 or 8.

By the way; I really enjoyed Source Code when I saw it in the theater earlier this year. Great movie.

$2225 of it was made through OAInternet.

Almost all of it was made through natural search rankings for pages promoting affiliate programs (such as the OAInternet penis enhancement affiliate program) attained through this link building method.

I’m on pace to better my August earnings in September, and considering August was already my best month in quite a long time, that’s very good indeed.

Almost all of these earnings are as an affiliate marketer (a small amount made with my Clickbank diet product) and they’re almost all from organic search results gained with my link building strategy.

I’m pleased!

Considering I’m working, on average, about two hours per weekday (I always try to take weekends off entirely) I’m very pleased! Especially because things really picked up about halfway through the month and I’m projecting even bigger earnings in September.

I could probably be making ridiculous sums of money if I really focused on it, but for me it’s all about the freedom to be able to do what I want and certainly for where I live (my mortgage is only $800/month) $5437/month is well more than enough to be living quite comfortably (especially considering my wife makes money too.)

That said; I think I could be getting to the $10K/month level this year even working just 10 to 15 hours a week because of the way I’m focused on building rankings for the things that make me money with the link building strategies that I know work. I’m all about working smarter, not harder or longer.

OAInternet was responsible for $2273 of that (and I highly recommend them if you don’t mind working in that niche.)

I won’t share every niche I’m working in (I don’t want any extra competition in some of them…) but I will tell you the biggest key to my success: My Link Building Strategy.

The big positive is that the posts go up on pretty decent domains as far as PR goes. The individual posts almost always get indexed (usually quite quickly) so this sets it apart a bit from some other link building systems.

The big negative to me is that unlike the rest of my link building – I have to write a unique post for each and every link that I want (150 word minimum) – I find this to be rather tedious. But at the same time, it’s this uniqueness of the content that may lead to these links having more power in the long term (as well as the short term.)

Testing

As a test I’m going to start building daily links (2 per weekday) with Build My Rank to a page that is currently ranked #5 for its target keyword on Google. I won’t be building links to this page with any other system during this time to keep the test as pure as possible. I want to see how high I can get it using just Build My Rank.

Right now the top two results are from the home domain of the product I’m promoting (it’s a Clickbank product) so it seems very unlikely I’ll be able to get higher than #3, so I would consider climbing from #5 to #3 a pretty sweet success (and I think this would lead to at least twice as much traffic/sales.)

Dropped

I am no longer using SEOLinkVine and I am phasing out my use of LinxBoss.

I stopped using SEOLinkVine because of rather pathetic results with it and its somewhat cumbersome interface. Even more important to me than my money invested in my link building is my time; and I think SEOLinkVine was wasting my time.

I am phasing out LinxBoss despite getting some good results because (1) I am not getting consistent results. Sure it seems to be working well with some sites but with many others it doesn’t appear to be doing much of anything. Maybe there’s a way to use it effectively, but I’m not sure what the right method is. (2) I hate the sites that my links end up on (I see them as trackbacks.) They are just randomly inserted at the bottom of splogs (that usually have nothing to do with the link.) It just doesn’t look good. It doesn’t seem like a sustainable model.

Added

Build My Rank. I’ve actually added then dropped then added back Build My Rank since January. What I like about it is the relatively strong pages/domains that my links end up on (as far as PageRank is concerned.) But there are a couple of things about it I don’t like too. First off I find it a bit time consuming/tedious that I have to write each post individually (most of the rest of my link building involved spinning) even if they are only 150 words. Secondly, although the domains in the BMR system have pretty strong PageRank and my individual posts almost always get indexed (which is great because my link is the only outgoing link on the page) they still look pretty funky (obvious dropped domains etc.) In some ways I feel like good old fashioned article marketing is a more sustainable thing.

That said; BMR seems to work so I’m going to keep using it until something changes (I am trying to write 3 BMR posts a day linking to my biggest money making site right now.)

Continuing

I’m continuing to use Unique Article Wizard, Article Marketing Automation, ArticleRanks, & Free Traffic System. These are services that I’ve come to trust and they seem to be working just fine. I love that I can write/spin an article just once (using Magic Article Rewriter) and then submit it via all of these services. It’s very efficient.

I’ll be updating this post with my impressions of how well it’s working when I have some informed impressions to share.

Update #1

After using it for a few days now I am very pleased with how it appears to be working. Obviously it’s too early to report on any SEO improvements and I must say that I don’t seem to be getting any significant traffic from it (but I didn’t really expect that) but the ease of use and the amount of bookmarks (and Twitter posts) I’m getting with it is very nice indeed.

Update #2

I’m going to test the power of SocialAdr on my latest post here (Link Building Update) to see if using it leads to any extra traffic/links/search engine love for that particular post.

I was hoping using re-installing SEO Elite would get the job done but that software appears to be almost completely useless at this point.

SEOMoz looks like it would get the job done but it also looks quite expensive. Can anyone suggest a less expensive alternative? I’m not all that much interested in all of the bells & whistles. I just want to be able to export all of my incoming links (that are actually real active links) so that I can use them in other programs.
