I thought it would be interesting to start this blog off with a project that I will be doing and obviously documenting for your benefit. I’ve already bought 8 domain names for the project and all the research has already been done. I’m obviously not going to share the domain names with you because frankly it isn’t any of your business, but obviously I can share the wisdom along the way of ranking them.
Objective: I have a very simple objective for this project and it is to get all of these domain names to rank for their specific keywords at Google in the top 10. Preferably the higher the better.
The reason that it is starting in August is that I want to give it time for the domains to slow index. I know everyone seems to want to get their site indexed by Google within a few hours. Like, who the fuck cares. It’s not like you’re going to make the big bucks getting indexed in a few hours. A slow indexing for me is something that takes about 3-4 weeks to happen. I typically let Google find the site from an article directory or something like that.
It’s sort of like a month for the domain to sit because you just can’t go nuts link building right away.
The reason that I’m doing 8 domains is that SEO is something that takes time. I don’t except to get any decent results until at least 3 months in. It would be retarded to go one domain at a time. I can balance 8 domain names without much of a problem.
I’ve been doing it with 8 domains on a previous project that I’ve been updating on my wiki. You can view the project here. Even though that project is progressing in a decent manner, I don’t think it is truly an objective project. Some of the domain names are on the older side. One of the domain names I think is personally getting punished by Google, so it’s hard to view the results.
This one will be much better because at least more variables are controlled. It’s going to be interesting because I hope to dominate every single one of these terms.
I really do want to start this now though, but I know I have to wait a bit. The domains are bought. Landing pages are made. Slow indexing is occurring.
Here is the keyword breakdown (First number: “keyword in quotes”, Second number: keyword):
Keyword1: 41,200 – 320,000
Keyword2: 41,900 – 1,100,000
Keyword3: 40,500 – 279,000
Keyword4: 28,800 – 137,000
Keyword5: 32,000 – 121,000
Keyword6: 20,400 – 2,230,000
Keyword7: 38,100 – 403,000
Keyword8: 76,400 – 378,000

Umm, I don’t want to end this post just like this. It needs a little more substance, so I thought I’d talk about the like June Project I was working on.
I’m about a month and half into this project. The results have been interesting. There has been significant movement in the first month. I was able to get into the top 10 for a keyword I never thought I’d get. I’ve been bouncing around position 7 – 10 for it. I’ve noticed this second month that things are having a hard time moving. They’re sort of stuck where they are now.
The funny thing is that one of my keywords I’m ranking for is being outranked by a site with no backlinks. It has absolutely no fuckin’ backlinks and it’s on the top 10. I’m stuck on page 8 or something. All that tells me is that it just has to sit for a while and eventually it’ll move.
I might write something of substance tomorrow. But I’m hoping the project will be a very interesting and educational project in the future.
