While generating their tasks, checking their work and monitoring progress takes some time, doing it yourself consumes ten times the amount.

]]> Comment on Finding the Perfect Niche: 4 Simple Ways by Shon Jimenez http://jamesmartell.com/blog/finding-the-perfect-niche-4-simple-ways/comment-page-1/#comment-465690 Shon Jimenez Sun, 20 May 2012 18:50:26 +0000 http://jamesmartell.com/?p=11017#comment-465690 Most of my websites are made to represent a specific niche. I find it easier to make money when I chose one niche, one product, and promote it. I have had the type of site that has a bunch of different products and it never made any money, but when I targeted a specific niche and built a website around it I found I was able to make money pretty easily. As a matter of fact we built a system that creates niche websites with each site selling a clickbank product. The only thing you have to do is select a niche and the software builds the site in seconds. Most of my websites are made to represent a specific niche.

How badly did you get hit? As for "low quality backlinks can destroy your serp", it's unfortunate, but from all indications from I am reading it's true.

As for “low quality backlinks can destroy your serp”, it’s unfortunate, but from all indications from I am reading it’s true.

So i doubt its just targeting sites who used backlink networks. The update is targeting sites (even with high quality content) who don't have any brand presence or referring traffic from sites besides google. SEO alone is not enough anymore, otherwise you're gambling no matter how good your content is or backlinks. And if low quality backlinks can destroy your serp positions, anyone can easily get rid of their competitors over night. Creating a industry of negative SEO.

I did not think that everyone would be able to see it in the membership site. Maybe this will spur people on to join you on the site to see what they are missing. There is so much help there.

Even though they sometimes have the same payment model they are two completely different animals. Thanks for sharing..

I have been working hard doing guest blogging following James' ideas. What I found out was; that not only must you change the words in your articles but you must also change the complete structure of each article to avoid them seeming like duplicate content.
