Bubblews SEO: Can You Rank Long Tail Keywords On Bubblews

A bit over a week ago or so I started an account on Bubblews and started writing away. I wrote about it here on Are Bubblews Posts SEO Friendly?

One of the first things I noticed when I started working the site was how the vast majority of users seem to use the site like a social network that pays them to interact. I went along with it but my keyword driven mind was wondering all along if the site would rank in search engines for long tail stuff - you know, really long tails stuff.

You can also see my post on making a quick few bucks on Bubblews here - it went live yesterday: How To Make Money Fast On Bubblews.

The purpose of this post however is not to explore using Bubblews for fast financial gain but to rather use it as a article library for the extremely long tail keywords that draw in recurring search traffic.

We all have sites where we post articles looking for keyword driven search traffic but many of the topics are too narrow in scope for a 1000 word post. On Bubblews you can hit all these keywords with "articles" ranging from 400 characters to a few hundred words very easily.

My First Attempts At Bubblews SEO

I posted on the 16th a post titled: How Long Does The Thermos Stainless King Travel Mug Keep Coffee Hot?

I got the big crazy long keyword from Google autocomplete while researching top selling products. That post has been published for basically 7 1/2 days and it ranks #5 on page 1.

I then posted an article titled: "Is The Contigo Autoseal Travel Mug Dishwasher Safe?" This article is ranked #10 on page 1 7 days later.

"Can You Clean A Coffee Maker With Apple Cider Vinegar" is ranked #20 after 7 days.

"Difference Between The Contigo West Loop And Aria Travel Mugs" - This one ranks #6

"Insulated Travel Mug To Keep Coffee Hot" ranks #18.

How about this keyword which I posted two days ago?

"Is The Thermos Stainless King Travel Mug Leak Proof?" This one ranks #27.

Those Are Awfully Long Keywords Aren't They

Yeah, I know, those keywords are ridiculously long but they are actual questions posed about very popular products that have been selling like hotcakes for years. Not to mention that each question was found via Google Autocomplete so they are in Google's radar somewhere.

Point here is this - I think a 400 character post is short enough. Most of my short posts have been around 150-200 words and probably closer to 1000 characters. My longer ones are probably in the vicinity of 300-400 words.

Even still these are so easy to write that it's very easy to put up a few of these every day - especially the short ones. Bubblews will let you publish 10 a day if you want, that means you could have around 300 long tail posts up every month.

Yeah, I'd be surprised if any of these posts mentioned above get more than a few page views from the SERPs every month but if I had 2 months worth (600 posts) up and each pulled 2-3 page views a month from the SERPS then I'd have (for the time being) around 1350 page views coming in every month, about $13.50 in the Bubblews payment ecosystem.

If every month generated an extra $7 in recurring monthly income then this could be a decent place to make a few extra bucks for minimal work.

I'll keep exploring the topic and report back with my thoughts and findings.

What are your experiences? Do you think this is a royal waste of time for that kind of income?

Have you even signed up for Bubblews? You can use my referral link to try it out; it net's me a whopping $0.20 if you write and publish a post. Hehe :)

How To Make Money Extremely Fast Using Bubblews

Alright guys I want this post to be short and sweet but I know it's going to be a bit longer. This always happens to me.

For the longest time I've believed that any real money made online takes some investment and/or some time but with Bubblews I'm seeing a site that can create small bits of cash very quickly and it doesn't require any significant skill, experience, or financial investment.

Don't get me wrong, for the most part your Bubblews experience is not going to be full of large chunks of passive income but by doing a little ground work now you can have a place on Bubblews that can get you money deposited into your PayPal account in as little as a a week to 10 days.

You can sign up for Bubblews right here and get started immediately (aff link) but I suggest you read this post before signing up. It will help you spend your time there more efficiently.

How Bubblews Works To Earn You Money

On Bubblews you get paid for page view, page "like", comments, and for every social social share you get on your articles. This is cool since a lot of this is in your control. You can post the article and then share it on five different platforms. The catch here is that you can't share your own article twice on the same platform.

In any event by publishing you can make $0.05 right off the bat by sharing and since every post can be as long as only 400 characters you should be able to make $0.50 in about a half hour's time if you really wanted to.

That's Not Much

I know, that's not a lot but it takes very little effort and if you have followers on Bubblews (they call them connections) then they will increase your earnings by viewing your articles and interacting with them.

For instance if you have a lot of followers and you can reliably cound on 50 of those followers viewing your article within a day of publishing it then that will give you an extra $0.50.

If 30 of them hit the "like" button then that's another $0.30.

If 20 of them leave a comment then that's another $0.20.

And if any of them share your article socially then you get more plus the earnings that the share generates in additional page views from social networks.

With lots of interactive followers you can reliably post a single paragpah of text and get nearly immediate compensation in excess of a dollar and still have the opportunity to earn on that post for the forseeable future.

Obviously you can see that you're going to make considerably more money on Bubblews if you have lots of connections that are deeply involved in commenting and social sharing. If you have lots of inactive connections or connections that only occasionally view an article an no more then your income will be a bit less overall.

We Don't Have All The Time In The World So We Must Work Efficiently

If we had all the time in the world we would connect with everyone, read all their articles, like them, comment on them, and share them socially. By hanging out on Bubblews 20 hours every day commenting on everyone and trying to cultivate relationships with everyone under the sun certainly will work. You'll amass a ton of connections and get lots of earnings but seriously, no one has that kind of time.

Because we all have a limited amount of time to invest into a site like this I suggest taking a different approach. Go for the best bang for your buck. Shoot for the best connections possible and let all other connections accumulate without your prodding.

Why would we invest our networking time chasing any old follower when we can chase only those connections that are active on all levels? This to me seems like the best way to generate connections without letting the site rule our lives. To each his own however.

How To Build The Right Bubblews Connections

It is much more time consuming for a Bubbler to comment on an article than it is for the same Bubbler to just hit the like button and the social sharing barrier is even greater. If you look at any popular article over there you'll see it has more page views than anything else, followed by likes, followed by comments, followed by social shares.

If you head over to social media and search for Bubblers who share then these are the best connections to network with and connect with. And of the social networks the easiest one to research in Twitter.

Use Twitter To Build Your Bubblews Connects The Smart Way

When you hit the tweet button on a Bubblews page you'll see the tweet is automatically populated with the hashtag #bubblews. If you head over to search Twitter for that hashtag then you'll see a large list of the most recent tweets using that hashtag, most are people hitting the tweet link from the Bubblews articles pages.

Twitter Search for #bubblews: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23bubblews&src=typd

As I look this list over right now I see a huge amount of tweets with new tweets coming in every minute. Of those there lots of different users I see and by clicking on a few of the urls tweeted out I quickly find a user tweeting a link someone else's content. This is a user you need to connect with and network with as they are highly interactive with the people they follow.

Who is it? Oddly enough it's Deborah75, someone I've known for a long time on InfoBarrel and someone with whom I've connected with on Bubblews already.

The point here is that you can use this technique to find a few users every day who do lots of interacting. Although Deborah will not tweet out every post of mine she may just tweet it out on occasion and that's what I want.

Find Bubblews Users That Comment A Ton

As much as social sharing will help you get more money there will be more people out there who will comment on your stuff frequently than there will be people who share it socially. If you can find the Bubblers who comment a lot then you'll find a person worth getting to know. This person is more likely than other users to view your article and like it because to comment these other actions are extremely easy to do.

How To Find Bubblers That Comment A Lot?

One very simple way of finding these people is to do a simple Google search for them. Of course you can't find them by search for "heavy Bubblews commentors" you have to search strategically.

By dropping this into Google:

inurl:bubblews.com/account/ "comments 10000..200000"

You will find any users profiles that have accumulated between 10k and 200k comments on their articles. Although there's no way to see how many of them they left for others you can assume if they have that many comments on their articles then they have commented plenty on other people's articles as well.

Just change the numbers to find different ranges.

Want to find new users that are comment heavy? Try this one?

inurl:bubblews.com/account/ "comments 1000..200000" "joined: January * 2014"

Doing this search I see there are 3 total users who've joined in January of this year and still amassed 1000+ comments on their articles. You can be sure I'll be connecting with these three in short order.

Play around with search operators and you'll be amazed at what intelligence you can gather.

Drop Comments On The Posts Of People With LOTS of Followers Right Away

This one needs to be done with tact. You shouldn't be spamming but if you follow a handful of people who have many thousands of followers and manage to get an early comment that is somewhat insightful then more people will head over to your profile to check you and your stuff out.

The point here is not to get random followers but to get the one's that scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to read the comments. People who read comments are going to be more likely to leave comments themselves. By being one of the first comments and being helpful/insightful then you will stand out and get more of the right eyeballs on your profile and posts.

Have You Given Bubblews A Try?

I get very very little for promoting Bubblews ($0.20 for your first post) so don't take this the wrong way but if you do head over and setup an account I think you'll enjoy it. It's super easy to make a buck there and you don't feel like you are working at all.

Do stick to my ideas about networking in the most efficient way possible though... unless of course you plan on letting Bubblews rule your life.

There's money over there and a good community so have at it!

Do you have any other tips for making good connections over there efficiently? Let me know in the comments. I'm sure there's lots of people who would be just as interested as me.

Going Ons & Updates: 1/22/14

Here's a recap of what I'm up to right now.

My BIG Niche Site

A few days back I introduced a project I'm starting where I'm going to build a big niche site designed to serve readers first and make me money second. You can read the post here if you want. I then posted about how I got my new site indexed quickly here in case you missed it.

Over the past couple days I've done a bit more work on the site. I expanded the front page to just shy of 600 words and started building out a bit more content on the main informational posts on the site. I have a lot of work to do to polish the main informational posts but it's better to start and not finish than never to start at all.

I started marketing the site by placing a single well made article on a Web2 site and inserting a contextual link back to the homepage. The link was not using anchor text but was rather just the naked url of the home page.

Since the keyword the homepage targets has very low competition I don't expect to have to do any more promotion like this at all. The domain is an EMD and by putting lots of good content on the site, linking out to authoritative sources that support my main claims, points, and opinions. Including relevant YouTube videos, and maybe setting up a basic Pinterest account to pin eventual images to I expect this site will start ranking for it's keywords in the next few months.

So far I haven't put a custom header or logo on the site but I signed up for Easy Product Displays (EPD) to help me make a responsive grid of affiliate links and thumbnails pointing to Amazon for some of my sales pages. I've traditionally made my code by hand but I'm not a coder and I've never been able to get it responsive by hand. I must say on first use EPD is darned easy to use and looks better than what I've ever created by hand.

At some point I'll probably do a review of the program and post it here on the blog but if you want to try their free trial anyway you can see the link on my ToolBox page.

EMD Sites? Do They Still Work?

I've mentioned Jason from The Pond before. He's inspired this BIG niche site idea of mine with his current method of building extremely profitable Adsense sites. You can see his method on this thread over at The Pond (members only).  Click here to learn more about the forum or to join.

For the most part Jason is doing a twist on the Empire Flippers method of building of building EMD sites. The site I mentioned above is an EMD but other than it and one other EMD that I started in the post-penguin era I don't have many at all right now.

Jason contends the EMD update in late 2012 wasn't as crazy as originally thought and that without spamming the crap out of them they still rank better than all other sites with all things being equal.

I've decide to marry his approach with my own preferences. I like big niche sites, sites with 30-100 pages or so. My site mentioned above will be part of my EMD project and will join my other EMD site (nearly two years old) and I will start building a large(ish) portfolio of big EMD sites based on Jason's methodology.

My two year old site is making around $100+ every month right now and it has zero links built to it. I think this new site will make some cash and I'll try to build out a bunch more of these.

Late in the Fall of 2013 I purchased 6 additional EMDs and installed Wordpress on them. Most sites are slightly developed and some are already starting to get a bit of traffic with zero links built. I will add a few new domains to my portfolio and try to focus on polishing up my Fall additions.

One additional note - Like lots of people I used to use GoDaddy for all my domains but these days I use NameSilo. They offer really affordable domains and they include privacy for free. can't beat that. I've added NameSilo to my ToolBox and one day I'll get around to putting up a review page here on the site for you to look at.

Bubblews

I mentioned a few days ago that I started using Bubblews after about a year of resisting. So far I've posted 27 articles on there, connected with a few of the big writers and long term writers, and I've started commenting on a few things I find interesting.

As of yet I haven't made payout so I can't say anything in regards to the redemption process but from what I read it should go fine so long as you play by their rules.

Assuming my first redemption goes smoothly I expect this to be a great place to pop in on occasion and make a few bucks by trading minutes for dollars.

Probably after my first redemption goes through smoothly I'll post up my full review of the site. For the time being though you can my initial thoughts on making money on the Bubblews platform right here.

InfoBarrel Clean-Up

Back on January 10th I started a thread on the InfoBarrel forums saying I was dedicated to cleaning up my old InfoBarrel articles. I was making over a $1000/month on the site and then panda hit, then penguin and now I'm making a little over $150 on the site. You can see my complete report on this fall right here: The Fall of an InfoBarrel Success Story.

Over the past 10 days or so I've dedicated some time (most days) to cleaning up an article here and there on the site. I'm bringing old "red" articles up by improving the keyword density, editing for grammar, removing bad links, and adding 2-3 pictures per post. I then pin all the pictures to related Pinterest boards in hopes of getting trickle traffic from Pinterest users. This is going well and although I've got A LOT more articles to clean up I think it will be worth it in the long run.

You can see my picture techniques in action by viewing my "door lock" series over on InfoBarrel. One such article from the series is this one. Pay careful attention to the pictures inserted and their corresponding media pages. IB Tip - The money is in the media pages.

PinWoot

This is another new tool for me. I started using it this week - about 4 days ago roughly. I've been getting in the habit of making Pinterest accounts for the majority of the sites I build these days and I've never really spent enough time on nay of them to build up a following.

Like many other things mentioned on this page I'll have to make a big review of this program for the site sometime in the future but in the mean time let me say this. This thing is amazing at getting you new followers quickly. I've gotten bunches of likes, repins, and general account activity and I see it all as real and beneficial. You have to give this a try.

I'm adding this with a huge thumbs up to my ToolBox if you want to give it a look prior to my big review post.

Plans For The Future

Taking a nudge from Justin & Joe and Empire Flippers with the title of this sub-heading but I wanted to close the post out with a bit about what I want to work on over the next week or so.

I really need to make some progress on two Kindle books I want to finish as soon as possible. One is halfway done, the other is in the outline stage.

I also am reclaiming old PostRunner posts from 3-4 years ago. Yesterday I reclaimed around 35,000 words of material that I can re-purpose for new uses. It's all offline and deindexed so it's mine to use again as I see fit. If you used to use PostRunner you may have a bunch of old content sitting dormant too. This never occurred to me until it was mentioned by the smart folks over on The Pond.

I plan on segmenting what I have by topic and using the material to populate a bunch of new EMD domains to add to my EMD collection of sites. I may use some of the content for Web2 sites as well. Time will tell.

Get to work guys!

Are Bubblews Posts SEO Friendly?


I wanted to throw up a quick post tonight for two reasons. I just setup an account on Bubblews (it's a social site where you earn money in case you didn't know) and I started getting social - you know reading other people's stuff, commenting, sharing, etc. I also started writing some posts that were just casual in nature.

Other than my tutorial articles that I'm putting up which are meant to drive lots of internal traffic (and teach myself stuff) I decided to try an experiment of publishing a bunch of random short Bubbles on long tail keyword questions - you know, to see if they rank in search.

My thought was I could be social on the site for current income but also through up keyword posts in hopes of gaining long(er) term search traffic. If these Bubbles actually rank decently in search then you could assume that they will earn consistently based on a smattering if search traffic page views. Add in the social traffic there earning and "I THINK" I can make some decent cash.

Time will tell I suppose.

In the mean time I've decided to stick with one general theme for my SEO posts. I'm going to post short bubbles on lots of questions related to a small sub-group of products. Coffee stuff.

If I just answer questions people have about coffee stuff then I should get some social love from the posts (everyone loves coffee) and long term search traffic from people actually looking for answers to these questions.

Then, if I can stay on the ball and work on interlinking these Q&A posts together I can get some search traffic looking at a handful of posts on the site which "should" make me more money in the end.

I don't want to see comments regarding their payment system. I know it's  hot button issue and I don't care about it for now. I want to test things myself and see what happens when I devote some quality time to the site.

Good luck all in all of your endeavors and if you want to see my Bubblews earnings report you can check that out right here: http://www.bubblews.com/news/2065969-my-bubblews-earnings-report
