Adding a bit of motivation.
Hit top 1 for a keyword with a search volume of 27,000. I am also in the top 3 for «best» keywords, and ranked in the top results for the main product category alongside e-commerce stores.
When you start pumping in links, the page starts ranking not just for «best» queries, but for the general category as well.
That is, if the phrase was best wifi router, I end up ranking for wifi router, for example. This often happens with «best» keywords when Google needs to mix into SERP not just e-commerce, but product selection itself—an informational article. Similar to Yandex’s Spectra.
What other news:
1. I will be testing the service buylink.pro, which I promote on the channel. They promised to send a placement report in November.
2. Roman Puzat shared a case study on how a site shot up to 800 unique visitors per day in 2 months — https://vk.com/puzat
3. An interview came out on YouTube (Lyudi PRO with Oleg Shestakov); I liked it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P74cJKpUMUo
Honestly, I still can’t believe I managed to sell products in the US market. Damn, it’s super cool. Combining SEO with actual sales while bringing value to people.
Just a couple of years ago, I didn’t even dream of this, and now it worked out.
Beginners often write to me asking what to do, how to start. It’s a long journey, guys; you need to work hard, and unfortunately, just like in any field, there are secrets and tips that I haven’t seen anywhere in public. If everything were easy, everyone would already be in the top results, but that’s not the case.
It took me about 2 years to reach this result in international markets, and even so, I still need to build more sites to firmly and confidently consolidate my position.
So it’s all about working hard and working a lot, analyzing every site. That’s the only way.
