Smart Passive Income #281 - Spam?

Niche Site Spam?

This blog moved to a new location, please visit us at http://ramble.m2m.at.

Creating niche sites seems to be like stock trading ... you continuously watch the rank of your pages, get depressed when they do not change or worsen, and rejoice when they rise ...

The rank of Pat's niche site rose from #117 to #53 ... Could it be that the sand box a myth???

Nevertheless, Pat learned (or better remembered) that the quality of back links is far more important than the total number ...

Rule #1: Create excellent content, and you will get quality back links. Motto: Build and they will come ... 

To get more (?quality?) back links Pat posts articles to:

• EzineArticles
• GoArticles
• Amazines
• ArticleDashboard
• ArticleBlast
• ArticleAlley
• Buzzle
• iSnare (does not exist any more)
• TheFreeLibrary

... he creates additional blogs with quality-content posts on:

• WordPress
• Tumblr
• Live Journal
• Blogger
• Squidoo

For his niche site duel, he created new blogs on those sites using his keywords in the blog name. Strangely all of that blogs contain only a single entry ... did he abandon his strategy later on, or does this really suffice?

... and he uses two "cheating" tools to create his content ... don't know if I like that! ... he writes an article and uses the tool to "spin it" to create a new article ... is this really "quality content", or is it just spam?

Following the same scheme as before, Pat places a little bit of personal information (he is still moving and cannot see another can of paint ...), and "by the way" places another affiliate link ... with an additional goody - a free ebook ...

... he is complaining about spam mails ... well yes, there are spam filters to cope with that, instead of whining ...

... he advises on choosing the perfect domain name:

• use your own server space, instead of free sites (well, that's not actually about domain names?) ... could it be to just place a little affiliate link again ;)
• use sensible keywords
• don't use numbers
• don't use confusing or easily misspelled words
• don't use trademarks, you don't own

Smart Passive Income #12 - Spamming

If you have the email addresses of customers who recently purchased your product, contact them, ask if they liked it, and use the answers as testimonials ...

... which might be tricky if you live in Europe, the law declares something like this as spam and the fines are horrendous. ... life is unfair ...
