Well, the latest greatest way to get search engine rankings is to submit articles to content provider sites. So, this is what I've been doing for the last two days. Well, not actually submitting them, but writing them. Writing the articles didn't take long, but then I tried submitting them (three articles) to two sites. This took enough time that I thought that there must be a different way.
I found a piece of article submission software, Article Post Robot, I'm not going to write too much about this software yet as I haven't really formed an opinion yet. If I like it enough, I'll write up a testimonial about it.
So, using this software I've attempted to submit the articles to about 100 article submission sites. The prep work for this took at least 8 hours (registering to each site, putting my info on the site). The actuall submission process once the initial work is done is pretty painless.
Now I need to figure out what articles to write, or what content from my sites to post as articles. The idea behind articles is that you end up with quality links (most of these submission sites are ranked 4 or higher) and relevant links since your article is usually intimately related to your site. You need to make your article keyword rich (which I did not do a great job of in my first couple).
Oh yeah, I made 32 cents today, pushing my total earnings so far to over $4, woohoo! I'm hoping to hit the $10 mark by the end of November, but that's just a dream.
On other news, GoCurious Christmas Wonderland is the #11 site listed for search phrase "christmas wonderland" on google. Which is pretty good considering I haven't done too much keyword optimization yet and I have a lot more link popularity promotion to do.
Project Adsense is almost in the top 10 (although christmas wonderland isn't exactly the keyword combo I'd like...I wonder why I called the site that then?).
