Here’s a question from James Thompson.

Hi John

Started out just under 1 year ago lots of ups and downs and starting again with better information. Got your Adsense Fortress as already had a dozen adsense sites set up and it was very good gave me confirmation on a lot I knew and more new tips. Never heard of Brute force EVO before but looked it up after your E-Mail about it and actually took out the 2 year subscription for it. Mainly I need to automate and outsource so intend using EVO along with getting articles from 99cent articles( grammar is appalling but takes only 15minutes to redo so as to be good enough). Also using Dan McGonagle 3-way link system free for a year for 250 links for 50 sites( gotta try it) http://www.AutomatedLinkBuilding.com  . Can you advise on any other automation tools or outsourcing.

EVO is interesting been running it a lot but to early to gauge results yet do you have any more results about its performance.

Regards

James Thompson

 

Hi James,

 Thanks so much for the Positive feedback on Adsense Fortress and I’m glad you like EVO II (incedentally i’ve noticed that Bing is producing some staggering results with this). I do have some more EVO results, which i’ll try and get up as soon as possible. In case you missed it my last update is here: http://johnreimann.com/productreviews/brute-force-seo-evo-ii-results-are-here/

 I’ve never heard of 99cent articles but if you don’t mind doing a little work afterwards and you’re on a tight budget it sounds just the ticket (As long as you can request they get your keywords in the right places along with you LSI phrases).

 I had a brief look at www.AutomatedLinkbuilding.com and I have to say the price is right. This is where I stand on 3-way links:

Personally I have always been a little sceptical. I have no doubt that Google could spot these a mile off. Search engine algorithms are sophisticated and I’d be a little worried about using this kind of service for other reasons also. Mainly that you have no control over the sites you’re linking to and no way of knowing the quality of the sites that are linking back to you.

BUT, I also know that Jonathan Ledger uses “3-way Links” and he is a guy that I hold in very high esteem. So if it’s cool with him and done in moderation, and coupled with other forms of promotion then you should be O.K.

So for your question. Any other automated tools and/or outsourcing? Well depending what stage you are at with your business this is an absolute must. But don’t buy tools for the sake of it. It’s important that they fit into your business model. For site building (Adsense type sites) you can’t go wrong with Super Apprentice. It’s quick, easy, they have an in-house team of writers who are trained in these types of articles and they also buy back your sites at a garaunteed minimum of 8 x monthly income. If you want to know more then I do have a review site here but it’s a little outdated, www.superapprenticereviewed.com.

Linkvana is also high quality and very automated way of Link-building but it isn’t cheap. If it’s within your budget then you can’t go wrong but for those just starting out it mught be a little pricey.

I guess the best way for me to answer this is to tell you everything I use personally in my own Adsense and affiliate revenue model.

1. Super Apprentice – As mentioned above
2. Linkvana- Also mentioned above
3. EVO II – At  time of writing there are still free trials available
4. Nichebot – Trial for $1.00 here
5. Market Samurai – Try for free here
6. Need-And-Article – See more here

Honestly, I see no reason right now for any more tools. Too many can clutter up your system and more importantly your strategy. Keep things as simple as possible. For those on a tight budget I would not even use all of the above. Probably Just numbers 1, 3, 4, and 6.

 I have recently been trying to automate as much of my own model as possible and I have realized that the most time consuming part of building these sites is doing thorough keyword research. Now whilst there are a number of services that offer keyword research, NONE of them actually go as detailed as I require so here’s what I did.

 I got on the warrior forum and simply emailed some of the people offering keyword research services with my specific needs. Within a week I’d found somebody who was able to help me.

 So now I have outsourced my Keyword research, automated my site-building and promotion, I have buyers waiting to buy my sites (in Super Apprentice) so the only thing left to do is hire somebody to run this side of the business which i’m looking to do early to mid next year. Once I reach this stage it will be an almost totally hands-off business that needs almost no intervention. I’ll then be concentrating more on this blog and helping out you guys.

 I have some great ideas in the pipeline for you (we’re talking major software that incorporates most of the above) but don’t yet have the time or the structure in place to implement them effectively.

I hope that helps James and just remember to stay focussed and not get too bogged down with tools. It’s important to automated and outsource as much as possible but please don’t just by stuff unless it really fits in with what you’re trying to achieve.

Thanks again,

John.
