OK, now it’s crunch time. Three months with 1waylinks and spent $95. What are my results?
Well, considering that I used to hate the SEO side of things submitting to hundreds of directories, I’d say that 1waylinks has made my SEO 100x easier. It’s not the stellar results some people are claiming, but it certainly works as an easier and more effective method of submissions.
My handbags website (yeah, I know, why am I doing a handbags site!) is flipping between page 1 and 2 and has earned about $63 since it started – all from AdSense.
My gardening website and diy website (as previously discussed, I’m not allowed to give you the URL’s as it’s against the terms of 1waylinks) are getting more traffic and Adsense has increased across all my sites.
I have a number of review sites as well which are doing well with commissions (but I probably need to work on the sites a bit because although I’m getting more commissions, I’ve noticed the conversions are slipping).
So after three months, here’s the break down:
Subscription cost: $95
Domains cost: $85 (I have 10 blogs in the system now which gives me 5500 posts)
Total: $180
6 Month Average AdSense Income BEFORE 1waylinks: $498
Last months AdSense income: $574
6 Month Average Commission BEFORE 1waylinks: $335
Last months commission income: $512
Total Average BEFORE 1waylinks: $833
Total Average AFTER 1waylinks: $1086
As you can see, my average income has increased by a couple of hundred dollars, but the most significant benefit for me is the amount it has cut down my manual SEO submissions.
My concern still remains about the overall quality of the network, but from my own experience it does seem to be working. If you can afford to spend $95 to automate your SEO (I know some people spend upwards of $400 a month on outsourcing their SEO) then it’s well worth it.
I have increased my income and reduced the number of hours I’ve spent doing manual SEO now that it I all automated. I think 1waylinks would work for most people.
