Tame The Web

I’ve been getting some steady traffic to my free text message site, ITxTU.info, but most of it comes from stumbleupon. Those visitors aren’t very targeted, therefore my earnings aren’t very high. Since the inception of the site, however, I have earned a whopping $6.51 from September 28th. This is only from Adsense, as that’s all the monetization that I have on the site. I was hoping that traffic would increase after redesigning the site, and then adding a fun “Top Txtr’s” list to it. I’m thinking about having a monthly contest, which could hopefully increase the use, resulting in more traffic and Adsense clicks. My first task, however, is to get my site more organic traffic from the search engines. I don’t get any yet, which is a very bad thing. When I search for “Free Text Message” on Google, there are 110,000,000 results. The #1 site, however, is nothing special. It looks like they have about 85 backlinks, as well as keywords all over their page. For a one page site, that’s pretty darn good. My goal is to use that site as an example for my SEO attempt, and see if I can get onto the front page of Google.

My first step was to go into Google Adwords and get all the keywords that popped up when I searched for “Free Text Message”. From that list, I proceeded to make a list of links that I stuck into a link exchange to populate some backlinks out there. I figure that the sheer number of backlinks, along with the use of long tail keywords, should help propel my site onto the front page. That’s not the only thing I’m doing, though, but that’s the first. I figure that it will take time to get those links out anyway, so it’s better to get it done quickly.

My next step is to figure out a way to change the site in order to make use of the long tail keywords. I figure that I should be able to get at least 1 visitor each day, by using each keyword in my list. With these results, I should easily double the traffic to my site within a month. I think that I know how I’m going to do this, too. I plan to create a separate copy of my landing page, using each of the keywords in it. Yes, I will end up with about 40 pages, but they will all have slightly different content. This should help each page get indexed for it’s own keywords, as well as hopefully get my site closer to the top of the list. I also plan to use the keywords in the file name, too. I’m very curious to see if this works, because if so, I’m going to try it out on another site that I have. True, it will be a lot of work, but I think the benefits will be enormous. Only time will tell…
