If you want to make a buck off a visitor once, then it will probably be effective but no one would return to the site again after that experience.

So it depends on your goal. I think because it lives within a relatively sedate and normal site, it probably gains from its “neighborhood” but a site with a good proportion of those pages can’t remain indexed well for long. The visitor would click back and look for another search result and those bounces are going to cause a fall in ranking.

First of all it seems that none of the photos of women have alternate text, nor do they have key word rich names (post-1-1124066514.jpg is the name of the Raven Riley shot). This leads me to assume that these images are not showing up in images searches, and that the post text must be generating the traffic. It also means that Ross may be able to increase the income further by following some of the tips in Barry’s post. Or have I missed something is the way the code is written?

Second, Ross ranks first for the term “Hotties and the Internet” and eighth for “internet hotties.” According to https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal the first term gets negligible traffic and the second term 260 searches per month. My initial thought was that I don’t think that is sufficient traffic to generate $10 a day so the traffic must be coming from elsewhere.

Using the SEO for Firefox plugin (tools.seobook.com/firefox/seo-for-firefox.html) to look at the other keywords that might be bringing traffic, “male customers” “picture woman” and “pervs image see” might be I guess, but again they don’t seem to be massive traffic magnets.

Looking at the page itself, in my opinion the way it is optimized with Clicksor ads is very effective. Some might say it is a bit intrusive with the pop-ups and ad-links in keywords, but it works. So taking this conversion optimization into account perhaps Ross could be making that $10 a day off less than 50 visitors per day. Any comments anyone/other theories? An alternative is that the keyword stats are unreliable.

I also noted that Ross’s authority for the page largely comes from Bido.com. http://ygrab.com itself is PR2, which wouldn’t give a leading edge on many terms outright, but I think that the keyword rich backlinks to http://ygrab.com/bottom-line/hotties-and-the-internet/ are helping – 32 of these backlinks come from Ross’s useful comments on http://www.bido.com If you take a look at http://www.backlinkwatch.com it will lead you to Bido pages where Ross has keyword rich links on the “My Feed” page. So that is 30+ backlinks from a single PR4 – when dealing with an uncompetitive term such as “Hotties and the Internet” this example seems to demonstrate that this is sufficient.

I’d be interested to hear more from Ross, or anyone else interest in SEO.

You just have to be careful which images you choose and how you tag them. They should compliment the topic and be relevant and they should bring in new targeted traffic.

Sounds crazy but i was getting useless traffic that did nothing but use bandwidth. I found a way to target the visitors and i am making a killing off the one post. Bringing in about $10 a day from it. Not bad since it was non-intentional.
