Do the 40 Days Warrior Challenge Methods Still Work?

40daychcover Do the 40 Days Warrior Challenge Methods Still Work?Do the 40 days Warrior Forum challenge methods still work?

This is a question I’m asked fairly often so I’d like to provide the answer here.

Pat Flynn emailed me the other day to see if any of my sites had been dumped after the recent Google algo update. Fortunately, because I’m now using the 40 days methods for all my ranking work, I was able to tell him that yes – my rankings were sticking nicely.

 

Let’s take a look at a couple of websites that I’ve been using the 40 days challenge methods on.

Firstly, my blog.

I’ve never SEO’d my blog before (other than on-page), which may seem odd but I tend to rely on word of mouth more than anything. I’m now also using Twitter to fairly good effect too, I may add.

I thought I would use Backlinks Genie to try to rank a webpage on my blog, and I started doing that about 3 weeks ago.

By all means if you’ve not already seen my video on using Backlinks Genie, its over on this webpage… Backlinks Genie Review.

Check the two screen shots below which I took from the Google AdWord keyword tool’s US rankings.

ebook2v2 Warrior Forum 40 Day Challenge eBook 2nd Edition is Live on ClickbankFinally, the 2nd Edition of the 40 Day Challenge eBook is completed and is now up on Clickbank! Its taken me almost 3 weeks to get the thing on Clickbank, but eventually its there! (Who-ever said putting products on Clickbank was easy?).

You can see the sales pages, affiliate info (etc.) on this site:

http://JosephArchibalds40DayChallenge.com

If you are keen to make sales of this eBook and thus start earning a decent commission ($20.98 per sale minus small CB commission), then please go to the above domain to get your affiliate information and other bits and pieces to help you out.

By all means let me know if you feel it would benefit from more affiliate sales materials. I know on occasion when I’ve looked into working with some products on Clickbank and there is no affiliate sales materials, I tend not to bother – particularly if I send an email query to the product vendor and get no response.

My email address is: joseph@josepharchibald.com

Trust me – if you email me, you will get a speedy response!

What will you get in return for each eBook sale? 70% of the product price (which is $29.97). Therefore, you will get $20.98 per sale (minus the small Clickbank commission).

What does the eBook cover?

Have a look at some of the topics here… http://josepharchibalds40daychallenge.com/
Check the left hand side “What Does it Cover?”

Are there any major changes to the first edition of the eBook?

Well, because its still based on the same Warrior Forum 40 Day Challenge, changes had to be somewhat limited. However, I’ve added in a lot of “sidenotes” which generally are updates on where I was then (May/June 2010), compared to where I am now (January/February 2011). So, this covers not only my own “updated” thoughts, but also updates and progress with regards to Google etc. etc.

Furthermore, the first edition was “image and graphic free”, where-as this the second edition has quite a large number of graphics, which adds to its read-ability, and surely makes the whole concept easier to understand.

If you have any questions do let me know: joseph@josepharchibald.com
Or please just leave a comment on this post and I’ll get back to you asap!

Good luck, thank you kindly and best wishes!

The Warrior Forum Challenge Site – is it Still Ranking for Christmas Sales?

Here was me thinking and wondering whether I should even bother about trying to re-rank the Twilight posterz site, which was the basis for the Warrior Forum Challenge back in May of this year.

For sure there will be far more sales during November and December than at any other time of the year, but I’ve got so many other things to do that I was wondering whether I should just leave it or not.

I was thinking that its bound to be quite a bit down the rankings in Google for all 4 keyword phrases that I had targeted, even “Twilight poster” which it did have number 1 spot for.

WARRIOR FORUM 40 DAY CHALLENGE – Posterz Site Goes TOP in Google!

The Twilight posterz site is finally showing top in Scroogle Scraper (as I see it anyhow) for “Twilight poster“. Its been a while in coming but its nice to see it there!

Bella in Twilight

Now this obviously does not mean that if you do a search for those keywords where you are that you will see my site in top spot. It happens so often that what one person sees in one country, another person will not see in another country. In part due to Google data center updates happening around the globe at different times (apparently there is a 36 hour difference), and in part due to… whatever – ask Google…

AdSense Income for June – OUCH!

Today’s post I really need to keep nice and brief – I’m currently inundated with “stuff”. Yes, all SEO-related. Much of it being my own sites, much of it being sites that I am assessing for other people. I would say “clients” but I will refrain from saying that for now.

Anyhow, I would like to offer up some very rough stats regards to my monthly income. Month of June. Its a tad early to be providing the stats but its obvious what is going on here so I thought it a relatively decent move to share it with you.

(I just spent a short time in the sunshine sunning myself – I was looking like a ghost after spending Lobster 300x228 AdSense Income for June   OUCH!such long hours indoors banging away at the old keyboard, so it was high time to spend time out in the sun. Problem is that, if you fall asleep, you either wake up looking like a lobster that has just been boiled in a pot of water, or like a prune that’s 4 years old… one or the other…).

AdSense income for June. We’re just moving into the last day of June and I gotta say that my AdSense is the lowest its been for almost a year.

One can jump to the conclusion that this is due to the Google Mayday algorithm change. And yes, I certainly feel this is a factor. Many of my previous efforts are ‘thin’ sites which target longer tail keyword phrases, and therefore I think I will be seeing a reduction in traffic, as many others have been witnessing too.

Help! Google has SANDBOXED (supplementals) my Web Site!

I’m sure we have talked about this before on SEO Tips, although it may have been on the Warrior Forum. Nevertheless, its something that affects almost all of us with regards our careers online and that is the Sandboxing or supplemental pages effect by Google.

I gotta say that even now its not entirely clear what this is all about – some experts say one thing, some experts say something a  little different. And then Matt Cutts the Google rep/spokesman says “stuff” but you could argue that this “stuff” is not exactly 100% enlightening. Which of course is thoroughly typical for secretive Google!

Nevertheless, I received an email this morning from a gentleman who found my profile on the Warrior F and the email goes as follows (some details such as domain name and personal name are changed for privacy reasons):

Quoting from the emails… (my comments are in the {…} )

Problem:

Hi Joseph

I’m John Franks from W Forum. Couldn’t PM yet with limited posts so i thought to drop you an email. Im facing a problem right now with my website.

Its www.hiddenforprivacy.com  which has around 500 + backlinks from good PR blogs and websites. The problem is that my posts are not getting indexed in Google.

As you can see… Google is crawling my website and it is updating the content im posting you can see in the description if you search. But the post is not indexed. Im losing a great deal of traffic because of it. My Alexa rank reached to 390K at max and then this thing happened {Alexa is now down to 700k+}. Can u tell me what the problem seems to be?
