I have releasing a beta copy of a software called Munchies SE Scaper (Search Engine Scraper). The program is in it’s infancy and I need help making a manual for it. This will be a free software and I plan on building it slowly with features requested by users. Right now the software will scrape Google, Bing, and Yahoo for urls that can be used for many different things. It has similar scrape features like the Scrapebox software. You can use the scraped data to do things like post comments with other software ( I will make an in house comment poster for it in the future), find out what pages you have indexed in search engines, search for wp hosts for Traffic X Suite, and trackbacks for SEO Trackbacks, among many other uses. I hope to get beta users that would like to help build on this to try it out, send questions if you need help, and make write ups on ways of using it.

I urge only knowlegeable users download test and help with manuals. I do not have time for “non serious” users of this program. If you aren’t going to help then please just wait for an official release with manuals to download.

Beta version of Munchies SE Scraper can be downloaded at:
Munchies Search Engine Scraper Installer BetaV1.0 (Released Dec. 13,2010)

Traffic X Network Maker

For Traffic X Suite users I will release a beta version of Traffic X Network Maker sometime next week. I was hoping to get it done earlier but I have lots of catching up to do. This software will help me to bring Traffic X Suite to the direction I wanted to bring it a while ago…. making our own blog networks so we never have to worry about public wordpress hosts.

This software suite will be free and will allow users to make their own wordpress networks in mass, easily. It will also allow only you to make mass blogs on your own networks so you can post content to them with Amazon Article Maker X, Movie Article Maker X, and future content generators that I will be releasing.

Hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and continue to have a great Thanksgiving weekend.

Sorry, for the long wait. I’ll fill you in later,but for now, you can get the new version of Traffic X Suite V3 at:

I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July.

Yes, I’ve  been away since last week friday, and anyone who used the contact form on the site for support got an auto reply saying I will be out.

Before, I start releasing  new tutorials for Traffic X Suite and Amazon Article Maker X I wanted to touch on a few problems I seeing that people are having and I want to leave a few notes on the common ways to fix these problems.

Let’s start with Traffic X Suite.

Traffic X Suite Notes

I’ve noticed many customer have had trouble making blog accounts while others, like myself have no problem making them at all. If you are one that is having problems here are some common reasons why.

 Catchall Not Setup Properly - Your catchall email and domains are not setup properly. I will be making a new manual on this as we only have one that Keith Baxter made a while ago when Traffic X Suite was first released. You can check out his tutorial by right clicking here and saving the PDF manual. Also, your catchall domain file that you must load in Checking Base and Traffic X Base needs only one domain per line. No http://. No www. when adding the domains, one per line to the file. Also, make sure there are no carriage return after your last domain file. Once again, the catchall domain file is a simple text file in it with one domain per line that has been setup to retrieve “unrouted email”. Take a look at the photo below. Your catchall file should look like it, except of course with your catchall domains in it. Another thing, it does not matter what kind of domain name you choose for catchall domains.

Catchall Domain File. Edited in notepad. One domain per line.

 Anti Virus Programs Running Havoc – Another common problem that can cause you to not make any blogs…..Your Anti Virus program. Not only can your anti virus program stop you from making blogs, it can also stop you from finding any MU Hosts with Scout and activating and picking up new blog accounts with Verifier. This is a common problem that makes many programs not work. I’ve helped many friends and neighbors with their computers  before and many of the times their programs don’t work because this little tiny box popped up asking them if they want to block a program trying to reach the net, they click BLOCK, and done. The program will not work. Traffic X Suite extensively connects to the net, finding, making, and activating new blog accounts. The thing is, that little pop up that asks you if you want to block a program does not show on some anti virus programs and blocks our programs right out of the gate. Each anti-virus program is different but most will let you exclude any folders from being scanned and blocked. I recommend excluding the C:\Traffic X Suite 2\ folder and all files under it. Here is the catch, I’ve done remote supports before and I helped the customer exclude the Traffic X Suite folder from being scanned by their antivirus program, and this one in particular, BitDefender, would work, then after it updated it would once again block the Traffic X Suite folder again. Each Anti-Virus program has its own thing so I can’t support exactly on how to exclude Traffic X Suite from the virus program you may be using, but a simple search through the manual or on google on how to exclude folders and files for your particular anti-virus program should do the trick to show you how to do this.  This I know though, those anti-virus programs are a huge resource hog and with it constantly scanning basically everything you do on your computer, it slows it down. I have a huge recommendation. For a long time, I never even used anti-virus protection, because of the problems they cause and all the resources they take up. But, recently found one that I really like and does not seem to hog my computer’s resources, it works perfectly with our programs, and it’s free! I highly recommend using Microsoft’s Security Essentials. You can check it out by clicking here.

Your Location - Over time I’ve seen many users from countries that do not use the internet as much as we do in the west struggle to make blogs. I manually went to google’s search  in other countries and was amazed that not many mu hosts were available. Without any MU hosts available you can’t make much blogs. The 3 major search engines that we search for MU Hosts on, Google, Yahoo, and Bing all will search automatically in your countries search results. The fix for this is running our programs on a US VPS server which runs anywhere from $7.95 a month to $29 and higher. But all you really need is a cheaper one.  I live in the US and I still use Windows VPS servers to run our programs. Why? Because its on a very fast connection, and with a very fast connection the programs are much more efficent in what they are suppossed to do. It also releases the resources  our programs would use on our home or business computers and internet connection.  I will be doing Windows VPS server tutorials with the new tutorials that are coming out  for those of you who are interested in using them. I highly recommend using them. I love them, and use them. It’s also another way that some of our clients are “scaling” their operations which I will talk about in the upcoming tutorials. There is much information on the net on what VPS servers are, and how to use in our case a Windows VPS servers. If you feel like learning a little bit more about VPS servers before I make the tutorials you can click here. There are many good reason to have a Windows VPS server available, and to learn about them. See, you don’t have to only use our programs on them. If you have other programs that hog resources that constantly use the net, running it on a VPS server may be the way to go. Lots of things you can do on it. Its like having an extra computer around on a fast connection.

Correctly Configuring Traffic X Suite Programs - It is real easy for me to forget that their is a learning curve in using our programs. I’ve used it for a while and it’s very easy for me to do things with it. One common problem is just the setup of the Traffic X Suite 2 programs.

For instance, in Verifier, I’ve had customers who did not select where they wanted to save their new blog accounts. So, although they were making blog accounts  Verifer was not saving them anywhere.

I’ve had customers who saved the Scout’s save file in the exact same file that Verifer saves blog accounts. This is a no, no. Scout saves MU hosts to be checked by Checking Base to see if we can make blog accounts on a host. Verifier saves blog account information and also saves a file automatically called Verified Mu Hosts.txt which saves MU hosts we know we can make blog accounts on. The Verified Mu Hosts.txt file will later be put into Traffic X Base to make lots of blog accounts.

It’s very important to have Traffic X Suite programs configured properly. I will be doing new tutorials, that I hope will be easier for you new users to understand.

Now, lets move on to some notes for Amazon Article Maker X users.

Amazon Article Maker X (AAMX) Notes

I noticed that their are some clients who are doing well with Amazon Article Maker X and some that just aren’t. There are a few notes below that will help those of you who are not doing well get the most out of Amazon Article Maker X. There will also be new tutorials coming out with things you need to do to get it working for you, and further on I will teach you how you can scale your operations with AAMX.

Amazon Affilate US – Some of you may be using Amazon Associates Program (Affiliate Program) from another country other then US. You must sign up for an Amazon Affiliate Account at the US site by clicking here. For some stupid, and confusing reason (maybe someone can explain this to me), Amazon will not give you credit for any items purchased through your link if they are from the US (where most amazon sales are made) and you are using a Amazon Affiliate Account outside of the US. Really, stupid right. Yes, overall we are getting screwed.  So, when I’m using AAMX like usual I’m promoting products available to US and other countries, but lets say the person buys through my link is from the UK, I will get no credit unless I have a UK Affiliate account, and that accounts tracking id is what they click through. So, in a later release I will try to do a geo tracking redirect script (if possible), but you will have to signup for each different Amazon Associate program for each country that they allow. If you ask me, its just a way for them to line their pockets a little from every Amazon Associate out there. So for those of you who have a non-US Amazon Affiliate account, this may be the reason you are getting no sales. It is totally alright for people that live in another country to signup for the US program. Thing is, I don’t understand why they don’t have all under one roof so that everyone gets paid for every sale they make, not just by what country they are promoting to.

Keeping Your Blogs Clean - This is someting I need to make a tutorial for, as it is one of the most important things that was left out when Traffic X Suite was first released. I cannot express enough how important this is. You are wasting your time posting if your posts aren’t being posted. For example, I’ve done a few remote supports with customers where I went and checked a few blog accounts in their file, and most of them were dead. MU Blogs go dead, its a fact, unless you start making your own MU Blog networks (which I will be teaching you how to do also, and will be releasing a MU Network installer with Traffic X Suite). Posting to blogs that don’t work are a waste of your time, and you won’t make money that way. I will be making a tutorial on how I clean my blogs, but I basically do it every 2 to 3 weeks. I will find that I lost a nice amount of blogs in that time, and I will just make more.  You can clean it more often if you like, but I do fine just cleaning mine every 2 to 3 weeks. How do you clean your blogs and get the bad ones out. Use the free ENABLE XMLRPC AND CLEAN TOOL that is already packed in the latest version of Traffic X Suite 2. Also, before the cleaning tutorials come out, you can check out what the tool does by clicking here.

Check Your Blog Accounts And See If There Are Posts – Ok, pretty simple, but its overlooked. You won’t make any money if your blogs have not posts on them right. You need to open up your blog account files you are posting to and check a few of them to see if anything is being posted. This is overlooked by many. I had one remote support recently where the customer was posting with AAMX for 2 weeks and was not making any money, or even a click. Now, if you aren’t even having a click, something is very wrong (it also could be what I mentioned earlier, you need a US Amazon Affiliate account). Well, so I went and checked the customers blogs, and there were no posts on it. How are you going to make money with no posts? So check your blogs.

So now you ask, why would there not be any posts? In this particular case the customer did not load a database. There could be other reasons. If you read my Traffic X Suite notes then you’ve heard about what havoc anti-virus programs can play. Another, reason could be that your blogs never had XMLRPC enabled on them, and it needs to be done right away with the ENABLE XMLRPC And CLEAN TOOL. If there are no posts, there is a problem, and there is a way to fix it, because its working fine for most customers. You can send a support ticket in and we will work on it.  The thing is, check your blogs and make sure you have posts on them. Don’t waste your time by making no posts.

Check Your Amazon Affiliate Links On The Blog Posts – Another thing you should also do when checking your posts is check your Amazon Affiliate Links on the posts itself. Make sure it is working. When you click on the link it should go to the products corresponding page at Amazon with your affiliate ID in it. You can see your affiliate id in the url in your browsers address bar. Hey, again, very small thing to do but overlooked.

These next few notes are things I will be teaching in the next AAMX and Traffic X Suite 2 tutorials.

The Age And Maturing  Of Your Blog Accounts – The age of your blogs make a difference on how fast money will be coming in when posting with AAMX or Movie Article Maker. The maturity of it is also very important. I have blogs accounts that are from last year. As blogs get bad, and we clean them out, there will be those blog accounts that stick and never get deleted. I have not done much to mature them at all. I’ve just posted to them, and the’ve aged. Now when I talk about maturing your blog accounts I mean interlinking them, pinging them, and doing whatever you can to get backlinks to them. I will show you some methods that I use and others use t. Infact, I normally don’t do this, because I’ve just let my blogs age naturally. But, if you want to expidite your money making, then its a good thing to help it mature. There is interlinking, there is pinging, and more. I will show you this in tutorials coming up.

Your Own MU Networks – Not all successful AAMX users are doing this, but I have noticed a high percent of them are. I’m not even doing it yet actually. What they are doing is making their own MU Host networks and putting their own accounts mixed in with the public MU hosts accounts and posting to them. Even a good friend of mine, Keith Baxter has kept his own MU Networks and has been making money posting to them with other sources. Why setup your own MU Networks? So you don’t have to rely on other peoples MU Networks to make blog accounts. You will also have more control of the blogs and you can monetize them in many ways, like adsense.

So what are we going to do about this? One of the last tutorials that I will be releasing will teach you how to make your own MU Networks. Not only that, I will be releasing a “mass mu network” installer with a Traffic X Suite update that will be part of the Traffic X Suite 2, and no, you won’t have to pay for it. Along with that, your MU Networks will be free of anyone making accounts on them. Along with the installer there will be an account maker, and only you will be able to make blog accounts on your MU Networks. It will spit the accounts it makes into a compatiable file that you can use with AAMX, Movie Article Maker, Multiplier, and any future content generator/posters that I will release.

Now, when I release the MU Installer and Account Maker it will be in beta. As we use it I’m sure customers will share how we can improve it, and we will work on it. I’m not new to mass mu installers, as I’ve literally made probally near a hundred variations of them for customized programming projects, so it will be pretty good even on its Beta version.

Well, enough talking your head off. These are some notes I wanted to share with you before I release the updated and more detailed tutorials.

I thank everyone for your patience. Don’t know if you noticed, but we got a forum now. You can click here to check it out. You will need to register on it to be part of the community there.

Thanks,
Chad

Hi Everyone,

I know it’s seems quiet since the new baby was born. I have not been able to get to support tickets as I’d like to. But I’m hoping to get back to normal by next week.

Though it’s seems it’s been quiet on SEO Munchies, it actually has not been! Between sharing baby duties with momma, I’ve been working on the biggest overhall Traffic X Suite 2 has had in a while. If having a new baby gets you no sleep, coding all night holds a candle to it!

I’ve worked 2 long nights (and  days too), infact was up till 5:30am this morning finishing up and testing this new version of  Traffic X Suite, and I must say it’s the best version I’ve ever made yet! Slowly, but surely it’s evolving into what I’ve always imagined it would be!

There are no new graphical changes in the suite, but the way it does things will surely amaze you!

Since, the last release I’ve had feedback of low amounts of mu host accounts being made along with low verified mu hosts. I noticed this myself and it needed a change.

So, the first day I spent manually signing up to nearly 200 mu blog hosts! Oh, it hurt, with little sleep already. I found out there are new and different versions of wordpress mu (the blog host platform we signup for) signup pages!

I painstakingly went through the code of each and every signup page to find differences, wheather they had captchas, asked for required fields of name, age, address, etc.

I was shocked at how many mu host we’ve been missing out on! I was also not looking forward to again, painstakingly, fix this problem. Many of you may have noticed some bad blogs in your mu account file that said “[User Set]” for the password. This was just one kind of new wordpress mu that was out there and our suite was not reading right.

To make a long story short…lol…The new Traffic X Suite fixes all the problems that any of you may have been having making accounts! I’ve devised a way to signup for the different mu host blog account and even break their CAPTCHAS on most of them, once again!

As of the last test that I put on at around 5:30 am, I woke at 11.am and it had already gotten 86 new verified mu hosts using google trends method to search for wordpress mu hosts! In the earlier tests I had already hit near 200 verified mu hosts in a little less than 24 hours!

This thing rocks!

Also, we can find more mu hosts with Scout with a different search query for these new wordpress mus, so now Scout will search for both “newer” mu hosts and the same way it did before all at once!

Also, Base Verifier got an update! While it’s getting your new blog account information to save it will enable the xmlrpc on the new mu host account! So, you no longer need to use the Enable XMLRPC tool with any new accounts picked up with this new version of Base Verifier! In doing this we also can check if the blog account is “really” good or not. Many mu hosts have misconfigured subdomain  mu accounts, you know the kind that says http://myusername.somemublog.com. These kind of mu blog accounts were many, and we could not do nothing about it, as this is the wordpress mu host’s admins fault for misconfiguring the blog.  So, before when Base Verifier got the blog account and saved it, many accounts were deleted after running it through the Enable XMLRPC and Clean tool, because they just did not work (wordpress mu hosts fault, lol, ok I’ll take blame too, should have had something to check for this kind of bad blog account before) . Remeber, this though, we will use the Enable XMLRPC to clean the blogs every now and then, which I do about every 2 to 3 weeks.

Again, to make a long story short. Your new blog accounts you make will be so accurate! Almost, all the blogs in it will work! So, the stats that Base Verifier shows on how many verified mu hosts you have or how many blog accounts you have will be near accurate! Go, ahead after collecting a new batch of new accounts with Base Verifier (make sure the accounts are collected from this new version before you check) check your blog accounts. Almost all will work!

Another fix that came about after researching and studying those near 200 manually signed up accounts was a fix for the titles of your blog. Before, some blogs would show the title and most would only show your username as the title! With this new version all new blog accounts made will have your titles from your title file in it!

Well, I wanted to keep this short, but didn’t.  I have more updates to release (yep, thats right, not only did I update Traffic X Suite, but Amazon Article Maker X too) so I got to run, damn, a nap sounds good too! LOL

Before I go, I wanted again to thank you for all your patience since Tegan came (our new born baby girl), I’ve actually still  been working so much, I feel like I’ve missed out a bit.

Next week, I plan on doing new video tutorials.

You Amazon Article Maker X users, I’m sorry I’m behind the game, but will be teaching you what I’m doing in video tutorials. I think I’ll make it like a 3 week plan/step thingy, where you can follow me, and reap the results I get. I got a lot of stuff coming guys! I wanted to start doing tutorials earlier  to have you all making money with Amazon Article Maker X like I do within a month (this is my whole hearted goal for you AAMX users, that everyone who got a copy will be making automated money in the next month like I do, and I will achieve it!), but, to do this we need good blogs, and a lot of them, so I stepped up this Traffic X Suite 2 update/overhaul as a priority so we can make money with AAMX.

You can find the new update for Traffic X Suite 2 on our Traffic X Stuff page or by clicking here.

As always, make sure you turn off/close every single program in the Traffic X Suite before you update. You will know that you updated correctly because each program you open up from the new suite will say 2.5.6 on the top! If it does not say that then you need to close some Traffic X Suite programs (Scout, Checking Base, Verifier, etc.) and reinstall.

Hey everyone, thanks for being great clients and readers, and hope you like this new version!
Chad

Some  new features  in the updated/overhauled Traffic X Suite 2:

• Total overhaul on Traffic X Suite 2 system. More efficient at searching out wordpress mu hosts and making blog accounts on them.
• Faster WordPress MU host account creation. Less than 24 hours to get near 150-200 “verified mu hosts” to make blogs on.
• The most accurate blog account creation on old wordpress mu hosts and newer version mu hosts with buddy press “register” page.
• Once again, defeats most CAPTCHAs on old version wordpress mu hosts and newer version wordpress mu hosts.
• XMLRPC is automatically enabled on the new wordpress mu blog accounts. Making your blogs ready to post on as soon as they are saved to your blog account file. Previous version we had to do this through our poster or free program Enable XMLRPC & Clean tool, which slowed down the process.
• The Scout – our program in the suite that searches for wordpress mu hosts has been overhauled to efficiently find more wordpress mu hosts by searching for both old and new versions of wordpress mu hosts.(Older versions just searched primarily for old version wordpress mu hosts and would only pick up a few of the new version hosts.)
• Your random title will work and show up on old and new version of wordpress mu hosts when account is made.

Hi Everyone,

Here’s and update that fixes The Scout. Google changed their page and we could not search Google for blogs. So for those of you who noticed verified mu hosts were coming in slow, this is fixed.

Also, since Google was not searching Scout may have been searching yahoo too fast and you may have had a temp ban for searching yahoo. Also, resulting in no new blogs or verified MUs.

So, I suggest not searching with Scout for 24 hours if you’ve recently searched with it. Then install new version and and turn Scout back on.

Remeber, when updating you need to turn off every program in the Traffic X Suite 2 suite.

You can download the latest version here:
http://www.seomunchies.com/traffic-x-suite/traffic-x-suite-2-download/

You must be logged into the blog to view the page.

Later today I’ll have an update for SEO Trackbacks that fixes SEO Trackbacks Finder searching google also.

Also, this week I will be working on more video tutorials for Amazon Article Maker X and how to use VPS with our programs.

Hope to get some new updated Traffic X Suite 2 videos up soon too!

Also, got more free software coming!

I know many of you want to do remote support, but I may have to schedule that later next week, and this also depends when our new baby comes. Which could be any day now. I will have to take a day or two off when this happens.

For those who have done remote supports with me before, you know they can last up to 3 hours! This takes much, much, much of my time. So for those of you who need remote support, please be patient as I try to schedule you in.

Thanks,
Chad

Hi Everyone,

I know a few of you are using godaddy emails for your catchalls with GoDaddy. I have other customers who would like to know how you do it.

I always suggest using a regular pop3 email addresss, but wanted to ask anyone using godaddy if they can share with us how they do it.

So if you can, please leave a comment.

Your help is greatly appreciated by me and other clients!
Chad

There is a new version of Traffic X Suite 2.5.4.

This version has some major updates. The updates are in Checking Base, Verfier, and Traffic X Base.

The biggest updates is that Checking Base and Traffic X Base can now bypass many CAPTCHA signup pages! Wooohooo!

Both Checking Base and Traffic X Base were also missing some new wordpress MUs that a required to enter your Name, Address, and some other info in it to signup.  Both program will automatically add these fields in for you. No need to load files.

Verifier was also updated to pickup some new format of blog emails.

Let me tell you the difference this version makes! In the older version I was able to get about 150 to 180 verified mu hosts in about a week. I tested this version for about 2 days and have 500+ verified wordpress mu hosts!

You can download the new version on by clicking here.

You must be logged in to download.

Please remeber to close all the programs that are in the Traffic X Suite 2 suite. This includes Scout, Verifier, Checking Base, Traffic X Base, and Traffic X Multiplier. It will not install if these are still running.

I was planning on doing a full update on Traffic X Multiplier and Movie Article Maker V2 before I released this, but I really wanted to get this new version to you guys.

I can’t promise, but I hope sometime next week I will have another update for Traffic X Multiplier and Movie Article Maker V2 that will allow you to just post a certain amount of links then stop. I will also add a random anchor text feature in each of these programs.

Enjoy,

Chad

The power of article writing always amazes me! I’ve been doing article writing for a few years now and writing articles never stops being a consistent, reliable, and effective income stream for me.

I’ve been doing online marketing since 1997. During that time I’ve used many methods to make money online.  Trendy money making tactics, email marketing, automated money making programs, automated website content generators for adsense among  other affiliate offers, black hat methods, white hat methods, grey methods, PPC, insurance leads, loan leads, leads for everything, etc.,etc.,etc. You name it,  the list goes on and on. Many failures, and many that were just amazing! However, none really stay around that long. It gets saturated and money becomes harder to make. I’m sure there are other methods that stay around a longtime for others, but I’m sure it will be hard to even torture those secrets out of people using those methods! LOL.  Technology changes in a blink of an eye. The Internet moves and flows, there’s always something new in marketing trends, and sadly money making methods online consistently and constantly have to be changed. I can excuse PPC and email marketing from this list of methods that get old, saturated, and ineffective, but the one with the longest staying power for me is article writing.

I even admit that my own programs that automate money making, like Movie Article Maker, have a shelf life. When Movie Article Maker first came out it was making me $250 a day easily, and other clients were having $100+ days easily. I made a program a few years ago that made automated articles for Ebay. I sold it to 5 luckily clients, including Keith, and few other members of this blog. We were making $300 to $800 a day with a click of a button. It was sad to see that kind of automated money die! But it is what it is!

But article writing sticks! Competition & saturation? Yes, but most of the readers of my blog have Traffic X or SEO Trackbacks available to them to rank their articles!  Article writing is not automated and it takes much more work and dedication, but for me, it’s worth the money!

This last week I put Traffic X and SEO Trackbacks to an ultimate test to make money off the Superbowl and came out out on top with $2902.94.  Last year, I made $5K+ in one day off the Superbowl, but this years competition was mean! With competing pages in the 20 to 68 millions!

90 Orders on Superbowl Day!

Need proof? You can check out the pictures on the left of my clickbank account that I have dedicated to my “event” article writing endeavours .

You can click on the image to view a larger version of it.

Note the date, 02-07-2010, Superbowl Sunday, with a total of 90 sales! I probably would have made more too! I was away for 3 hours and when I came back my affiliate offer’s site was down from so much traffic, and stayed down until the middle of the game. I had to change offers numerous times after that because other “Satellite to PC” affiliate programs were going up and down from the mass amounts of traffic being sent to them by me and others.

I also made orders even before the Superbowl. Making my total for this clickbank  period $3,343.01.

Most of the money came from 3 hubpage articles and the rest of the money was made with 3 of my own domains.

Notice the sales on the 7th! $2902.41

You can check out my horrible writing style of these money making pages below:

Hubpages:

http://hubpages.com/hub/Watch-The-SuperBowl-Online

http://hubpages.com/hub/Watch-The-SuperBowl-Online-If-You-Have-No-TV

For the whole week I made $3,343.01 from Superbowl articles.

My Own Domains:

http://watch-the-superbowl-online.com
http://watch-the-superbowl-online.com
http://watch-superbowl-xliii-online.com

Notice my article writing style is not the greatest, so you really don’t have to be a professional writer to make money writing articles.

How was the competition? Very crazy this year, and I know many clients of Traffic X and SEO Trackbacks were doing Superbowl articles. The competition was in the double digit millions and articles were changing rank every few hours because so many pages being indexed in a short amount of time  for this damn Superbowl.

How did my rankings fare in Google, Yahoo, and Bing?

For Google I ranked for the keyword phrase "Watch The SuperBowl Online".

Rankings For Google

For Google I ranked one of my hubpages at #3 for the keyword phrase “Watch the Superbowl Online”. I’m not sure how many other keywords I was ranked for as I only tracked 2 keyword phrases I was shooting for, which were “Watch The SuperBowl Online” and “Watch the Super Bowl Online”.

You can see a larger picture by clicking the image to the left.My ranked site is outlined in red.

Notice the competition for the keyword phrase on Google. LOL. 24,000,000+

Rankings For Yahoo

For Yahoo I ranked with multiple keyword phrases. “Watch the Superbowl Online” and “Watch The Super Bowl Online”. I may have ranked for more keywords but this is what I was aiming for. I also ranked multiple pages for Yahoo.

For “Watch the Superbowl Online” I ranked pages at #2,#7,and #8 on Yahoo.

You can see a larger picture for Yahoo also on the left. My sites are outlined in red.

If you notice, the competition on Yahoo for that keyword was 44,000,000+!

On Yahoo I ranked multiple pages for "Watch The SuperBowl Online".

The second keyword phrase I ranked for on Yahoo was “Watch the Super Bowl Online”. I ranked #1,#2,#3,#4,and #5! Wooo Hooo Yahoo!

The competition for this keyword was a whooping 68,000,000+!

Rankings For Bing

For Bing I took spots #6 and #7 for “Watch the SuperBowl Online”. The competition was at 17,000,000.

I also ranked 1 page at #8 for “Watch the Super Bowl Online”. The competition was only at 2,000,000.

So, as you can see using Traffic X & SEO Trackbacks is still very powerful for article writing!

So did I have anything special that I did?  There is only one special thing I did this year because of the competition, but my pages got ranked on the first pages of these search engines by using Traffic X and SEO Trackbacks. I had to do just one thing to make it stick on the first page because so many pages were being indexed and rankings were jumping around all across the board. I know many pages that were getting indexed and ranked were from users of both my programs, Traffic X & SEO Trackbacks. So I had to do one special thing which made my rankings stop bouncing back and forth in a competition for these rankings,  that was awfully brutal, especially when you are trying to rank highest for one particular day of the year.

I mean, this one particular day, I had to make sure I ranked. If it was some review article I wrote that I had all the time in the world to rank,  just using Traffic X and SEO Trackbacks would be fine. I would not have to worry about rankings that bounce because so many pages are getting indexed in a short time!

I will tell you about the one thing I did differently this year a little later in this article.

Bing results were not as good but it still brought in money!

First let me share with you the simple things I did with Traffic X  and SEO Trackbacks.

There was nothing I did special with Traffic X and SEO Trackbacks.  But here is my settings and what I did.

Traffic X Suite 2

For Traffic X I simply put all my links into a anchor link file with the anchor link text as Watch the Superbowl Online. Loaded into Traffic X’s Movie Article Maker V2.

I ran 2 instances of Movie Article Maker 2 and posted my links for 2 days. Each MAM2 had about 5K blogs in them.

I ran this about a week before the Superbowl.

Yes, the articles I posted my links to were totally irrelevant and it worked just fine. It also works just fine with review articles that I write.

I am telling you exactly what works for me. I know some people use Traffic X Multiplier and try to post relevant articles to their mu blog accounts with there links that are relevant to the article. I’m sure it works, but hey, posting irrelevant articles with my Superbowl links worked fine too. Look at the proof.

Bing results for the keyword phrase "Watch the Super Bowl Online".

SEO Trackbacks

During the same time I was posting backlinks with Movie Article Maker 2, I posted backlinks to trackback pages with SEO Trackbacks.

I put all my anchor links into SEO Trackbacks Poster and anchor text as Watch the SuperBowl Online. Same as I put into Movie Article Maker 2.

I had about 45K unique trackbacks loaded in poster.

I set my poster to only post 150 to 200 backlinks per anchor link I had.

I used the default comment file that comes with SEO Trackbacks and ran it.

That was it!

ETA On Pages Getting Indexing & Ranked!

As this kind of article writing has to be timed and ranked precisely on the frontpage of search engines on a certain day, it makes for a challenge.  So, I have an estimated time on how fast pages index and rank using SEO Trackbacks and Traffic X.

This will also give you an estimated time when indexing and ranking any other kind of articles with SEO Trackbacks & Traffic X.

I am honestly only familiar with the estimated time for 3 types of sites right now as I only use these sites primarily. =( I can give you estimated times of indexing and ranking for hubpages, blogger blogs, and your own wordpress blogs you  host yourself. I guess with new FTC rules, I have to say I cannot guarantee this ETA time for all users of Traffic X and SEO Trackbacks, lol, but it works like clockwork for me.

I know, I know, I should be writing to more places, I have heard of members ranking and indexing well with Youtube videos, Squidoo, Associated Content, among many other Web 2.0 sites using SEO Trackbacks & Traffic X.

I have just always used hubpages, blogger, and my own sites because they have always worked for me. For event articles like the Superbowl articles, I really love using hubpages because they index and rank fast!

Indexing Hubpages with Traffic X & SEO Trackbacks:

Google - Hubpages will index and rank overnight to 1 w eek.  At first, ranked hubpages will bounce around from the first page to pages down the line, but will eventually rank and stick as little as a week!

Yahoo – Takes about 1-2 weeks to index and rank at yahoo. But once it does, it usually is stuck there for a while!

Bing (Formerly MSN) - Takes about 2 weeks to a Month to rank hubpages on Bing.

Indexing Blogger Blogs with Traffic X & SEO Trackbacks:

Google - Anywhere from 1 week to 2 weeks.  Very odd,  when I get my bloggers ranked they usually don’t bounce around like hubpages do when they are rank.

Yahoo - 1 to 2 weeks to get it indexed and ranked.

Bing - 3 weeks to  a Month OR Never! I have luck getting on Bing with blogger blogs every now and then, but they don’t stick very long, and sometimes never rank at all! Wonder if Bing does not like Google’s Blogger?! =)

Indexing My Own WordPress Sites with SEO Trackbacks & Traffic X (.COM & .NET DOMAINS USED IN DOMAIN NAME):

Google - Just like hubpages it usually takes overnight to 1 week to get indexed. Also just like hubpages it bounces around a lot when it initially ranks. After a week it pretty much sticks.

Yahoo - takes about 1 to 2 weeks.

Bing - Damn, Bing again, very slow! Takes me about a 3 weeks to a month to get my own blogs indexed and ranked there. The good thing is once my sites rank on Bing they stay there for a very, very, long time.

Exercising Your Article Writing And Make Some Money!

So what can you do with this information? Let me see….I’ll give you a few hints on events coming up….”Watch Daytona 500 Online”,  “Watch (Some Kind Of Basketball) Game Online” (fill in the blanks), and “Watch (Some Team Vs. Some Team) Online. I can’t guarantee that all games will produce the nice amount of money that Superbowl does in a day because much more people watch the Superbowl. But hey, a couple hundred dollars here and there for a few measly written articles, its worth it right? It also adds UP!

You may have a chance with Dayton still yet this year if you do hubpages. I don’t have time to write any this year on Daytona, but last year made me $1K+ on it!

So What Is The Special Thing You Did This Year For SuperBowl? You Know That Dusty Old Software You Were Talking About In The Beginning of This Article.

I looked to Social Book Marking sites for this year’s SuperBowl because I was competing not only against clients that were using the same software I was, like Traffic X and SEO Trackbacks, but I was also competing with millions of other pages that were being indexed through the week!

I took out a program I haven’t used in years! I think most of you own this one…..it’s BookMarkingDemon…..and I super charged it! I had not used the program for so long that I had lost my license email and had to email them for it back!

How the heck did I super charge BookMarking Demon and bring it back to life? Take a look at the picture below and see if you can find what I did? Hint: Red Outlined Box!

Yes, thats right! 1228 BookMarking Sites!

I found these bookmarking sites to add to BookMarking Demon with a new software I’m developing and testing. It will find hundreds of bookmarking sites I can add to my BMD to super charge that puppy. I’m not sure if I will be releasing this one yet, but if I do, I’ll let you know.

How Can I Super Charge My BookMarking Demon Software?

You first have to search for PHPDug, Pligg, or Scuttle/ScuttlePlus sites on a search engine. For Google I use the following search queries:

PHPDug Bookmarking Sites Search Query:
“Powered by PHPDug” intext:Signup

Notice there are over 200K sites on there. Many of them, Bookmarking Sites, you can use in BMD!

Pligg Bookmarking Sites Search Query:
“powered by pligg” intext:Register

When i search this, there are over 2 million sites. Again, many of them you can use in BMD!

ScuttlePlus Bookmarking Sites Search Query:
“Social bookmarking by ScuttlePlus” intext:Register

Searching this brings over 900K sites that are a great potential for bookmarking your articles and sites on!

You will then simply saves the urls of these bookmarking sites you find in a text file to add later to BMD.

Adding The Bookmarking Sites In BMD

In BMD you will go to the BookMarking Sites Tab and press the Add Scuttle/Pligg/PhpDug button. (The red outlined button in the picture below.) This will open up a box where you can copy and paste the bookmarking sites you found into. You then press the OK button and BookMarking Demon will crawl each url to find the site’s join page. =)

Adding your own bookmarking sites to BMD.

You get enough bookmarking sites and you will definitely have an edge over you competition!

A Few Down Sides To Adding Your Own BookMarking Sites To BMD

Adding your own bookmarking sites to BMD is very powerful, but with every good news, there usually is bad news too. LOL.

First off, it will probably take you a very long time to collect these sites,unless you are very dedicated and don’t mind spending hours collecting the sites! You will also find that many bookmarking sites won’t load into BookMarking Demon. This is because many sites don’t allow sign ups of new bookmarking accounts.  I noticed that even sites that were working just fine, and allowed new sign ups, BookMarking Demon has some kind of bug and won’t add them!

So you are going to need a lot of bookmarking sites to load into BMD! I mean in the thousands!

Secondly, you will have to enter a lot of CAPTCHAS when you sign up for these sites. Many of the booking marking sites have no CAPTCHAS when signing up, but many do. I spent nearly two hours signing up for all my new accounts and activating them from my emails. Of course you could skip the sites that have CAPTCHAs for sign ups but I didn’t. I wanted to get as many bookmarking sites working on my list.

If you don’t mind these few downsides, and want to super charge your BMD, then do it! My personal opinion on it, it’s very worth while! I mean really, you only need to do it once, maybe twice.

In conclusion, I hope this article gives you some OOmmmpphhhh to write articles! I really works, and is worth your time and hard work. It will pay off! Most of you already have the tools to stomp the competition out!

Cheers,

Chad
