TrustRank Score & Links Service Update

Holy crap.

And I thought I was a workaholic. So I made that last post at night, but on a Saturday night, not really thinking many people would see it or do anything with it.

I had a total of 10 orders on Saturday (including the 2 pre-orders from before), and on Sunday a total of 14 orders. I thought that was pretty good for the weekend traffic that usually trickles to nothing, on top of the fact that because I rarely updated my blog much anymore, I didn’t think many people even read it, but luckily I was wrong about that. It’s now almost 7am on Monday, and I’ve already had 6 orders come in overnight. Score! Now I can use this cash towards paying off my giant annual domain renewal bills. So that leaves 30 orders left. I seriously didn’t expect it to go this quickly, but at this rate it will be filled by I’m guessing Tuesday’ish?

Anyway, for those who were invoiced, it means I’m getting very close to your order, and for those who have sent an order in but haven’t heard back, no worries, I have to do this shit by hand, so I’m doing it in the order it was received.

Also for the few people who asked, and I already answered them via email, but I’ll address the question here… if you want to submit more than one domain, you can.

I am charging $400 per domain, 2 domains for $800, but 3 domains for $1,000.  I don’t really want anyone to submit more than 3 total, because then you’d be hogging up the spots for other people, but then again, what the hell do I care. I’m in this for the profit, and nothing more.

Hopefully this client won’t care… but one of the pre-orders is the Discovery Channel. I’m a HUGE fan of “How It’s Made” amongst many of their programs, so I thought it was pretty damn cool that the man in charge over there was actually a fan of my blog. So that should just go to show you that I know for a fact I am onto something BIG here, and regardless of how big or small you are, everyone is getting charged the same, and everyone is getting the same attention.

I just can’t wait to sell out the next 30 slots, and hike up the prices. And let me tell you, it feels GREAT to know that all those months I spent nearly going mad from the crazy hours of research I was doing is finally paying off somewhat. I’m still plugging away at it, but now, instead of trying to figure out if this or that works, now I’m trying to figure out “how can I make sites go from zero to a high TrustRank score in the least amount of time, with the least amount of effort”. So the work continues, and at least I can start profitting from it.

Go me!

More examples/case studies to follow. Some of the submissions I got are REALLY good, and I want to share them with everyone, well, from a very general point of view. But I’ll make it very worth his while and toss him some authority links to help him out.

And Here It Is Folks… How To Rank For Any Keyword on Google

The time that everyone has been waiting for has arrived. Actual confirmation, from Google, through yours truly of course, on which links you SHOULD be buying or getting links from, and which you shouldn’t be.

I explained in previous posts that PageRank is shit. It’s non existant. And now you can use it to your advantage just like I have been. What’s so flippin great about this is that 99% of all people who try to game the engines either through WhiteHat or BlackHat techniques, ALL rely on PageRank. No matter how many times I say it doesn’t matter, for so many years already, people will always refuse to listen. So, to hell with them. Let them be sheep, because sheep get slaughtered (I was watching Wall Street earlier).

So as many of you know, I spent the last 11 months of my life reverse engineering Google’s TrustRank algorithm. It started off as a hobby/interest and turned into a really evil obsession that nearly drove me insane (I shit you not). But I didn’t give up because like everything created by humans, there are always flaws. Even if something appears to be perfect and flawless, and created by hundreds of MIT and Harvard engineers, there will always be a flaw. Although, if I hadn’t come to the realization that the answers I was seeking were flat out in front of me, then I surely would have gone mad from depending on speculation without legitimate confirmation. (say that twenty times fast)

I’ve been trying to guage pricing and service structures for this, and because I often rely on competition, it’s usually a simple task, but being that I’m the only one with this stuff now, it’s been a real bitch to come up with something fair and decent, in terms of the types of services, and pricing. Also, being that I have to do all of this by hand, makes it tougher.

So here’s what I’m going to do…

I’ve decided to only do 2 domains per day, per month. And at the moment, I only have plans to do this for one month. So that’s 60 domains (not people). Send me your domain name that you want confirmation on what your TrustRank Score is, along with 1-5 general and niche keyword/topic targeting that domain is being used for, and I’ll email you back with your TR score, and a handful of links you should either purchase links on or get them for free. You can submit any amount of domains, but be prepared to be charged $400 per domain. So if you have lots of them, but can only afford one, choose wisely. If you send the email with a bunch of domains and keywords, and only order 1 domain without specifying which one it is, I’m going to move you to the back of the list or just delete you. I don’t have the time nor the patience to deal with people who can’t follow the rules or directions. I can handle ANY topic/niche for the domain, but I will NOT service anyone’s domains that compete with my blog or WickedFire (webmaster/internet marketing related). Anything else, is fine and dandy.

Here’s the value of this service if you don’t understand TrustRank.

So let’s say you use someone like TLA to buy links every month. And you’re an average user on there and spend around $1000 a month on link purchases. Alright great. Chances are very good that you are buying links based on PageRank and Alexa. Which is just retarded. But let’s get into why soon. The large majority of links being offered up for sale/lease these days are low PR sites with not very good traffic scores, but the prices are very cheap. You can find lots of them on the WickedFire and DigitalPoint marketplaces being offered at $1-$15 per year or per month. So how does this tie into the TrustRank service?

Simple. PAGERANK IS OBSOLETE. It has no damn bearing on your ranks. All it does is move the little green bar up and down. It’s the same as watching a game of Pong being played. It does nothing but frustrate and annoy you whether you gain more or less.

Here’s a good example now. I did a free test for a few different people to show them that this works and that it’s very valuable and that everything they have listened to and learned up until now in terms of linking, is bullshit. So one guy, Scott, who also happens to be a HUGE critic of mine runs a hosting review site. So I ran his domain and shot him back with his TR score. Then I showed him which domains he should get links from, and why. I stumbled upon a GREAT example during this process too. Bear with me, because you’re going to like this.

So let’s say the following domains are offering links for sale on their websites. We’ll use the niche they both target as “web hosting” and “web hosting reviews/ratings”. Fine.

Domain 1: hostingreview.com - PageRank 1/10 - 1 sitewide link $5/mo

Domain 2: webhostingratings.com - PageRank 9/10 - 1 sitewide link $750/mo

Which would you choose?

I’ll bet without even thinking, you’d choose the PR9 domain, because you were basically taught to and “brought up” on the myth of PageRank and that it matters. Well, guess what. Domain 1 has a higher TrustRank score than Domain 2. Even though Domain 1 is a PR1 and Domain 2 is a PR9. How can this be? Easy. Google said so. You can go and do allllllll the backlinks, IBL, content, age, keyword checks your heart desires, and you will never find out WHY Google gives a higher TrustRank score to the shabby PR1 than the PR9 who seems to follow every rule every SEO will tell you matters. That’s because Google is brilliant. But brilliantly evil. Their link: command, doesn’t work the way you think it does. In fact, linking is just ONE of over 300+ variables on how a domain gains trust from Google.

So with this example, you could spend $5/mo from getting a link that will actually help you, or you can spend $750/mo on a link that won’t do much more than give you bragging rights to your friends that you foolishly spent all that cash on a link that will do NOTHING for you in the longrun. Sure, it may help you in the short term. But folks, the longterm is what matters.

Why does the longterm matter in TrustRank? Because. A domain, regardless of the pages or any other “rules” you’ve been following matters. You can use dupe content, link spamming, stuffed keyword tactics from the 90’s and it won’t hurt you whatsoever. Trusted sites are fucking gold. They are the authority in their category. Depending on what your TrustRank score is, you can rank for just about any keyword you want, in a 2 week period or less (typically 3-5 days). But you can and will dominate for ANY keyword within your topical genre/niche. So if you own a high TR scored domain in a topic that covers father’s day gifts, well guess what, Hallmark won’t be able to do shit to outrank you. They can spend all the money in the world, and it won’t help them.

How do you find your TR score? You either go through me, or you continue guessing like everyone else has for years and years. Or you can also try and reverse engineer their algo, but goodluck, and make sure you have nerves of steel and a ton of patience, because you will need it, and it will take you months if not years in spite of what you think you may know already. There is no tool or service in existence with the data and access I now have. And it feels fucking awesome to finally be the only person outside of a GIANT corporation with that type of knowledge. I don’t care what any SEO will tell you about this, they are wrong and just like they and me and everyone else has been doing up until now, it’s been one giant guessing game, because Google has never, and will never come out and say THIS IS WHAT YOU DO AND HERE’S HOW YOU DO IT. Because it will fuck with their WHOLE operation and dominance in the search and advertising world online.

So again, linking is just ONE part. Yes, a major aspect, but not the defining part of it. I can assure you there are so many unreal variables that some of you would probably crap yourself if you knew just how evil Google really is, but how brilliant they are at making everyone hang on to every word and rumor they think up to keep us as sheep. Well, not anymore Google. You guys may brilliant, but every evil plan has a flaw, and I have yours!

If you want to buy into my service for now, email me with your paypal email address and the domain and kw/niche/topic that domain is targeting, and I will bill you for $400, and then deliver your results. Whether you choose to share it with others is totally up to you, but you’ll be devaluing it for yourself, so goodluck. Email me on Jon @ aojon.com — Keep it short and sweet, don’t write me a fucking novel. I already have two pre-orders that I am working on right now, so that puts it down to 58 available spots right now. I’m never offering it for $400 again either. After I feel as if I’ve gotten in enough time and effort into doing it as fast as possible, I’m going to do it for $1000-$2500 per domain, and strictly private label for the SEO consulting/firm industry.

If anyone from Yahoo or MSN is reading this, I’ll gladly help you regain control of the search industry and retake the top spot from the all mighty Google, all over the world, but I won’t do it for less than $10B. ;)

PS - To those wondering about these techniques. They are 100% WhiteHat. Nothing I am doing goes against Google’s “guidelines” aka suggestions or rules. Everything stays 100% in bounds.

Quick Updates: Domaining Addiction; TrustRank Scoring Links

Update #1 -

Hello. My name is Jon, and I’m an addict. Addicted to domaining that is. Un-fucking-believable.

Four or five weeks ago, I was at 13,000′ish, two weeks ago, I had a little over 15,000 domains. This week, I’m at 17,622!!! What the hell is wrong with me!?!? I know you wise asses are saying “a lot”. You’re right. Do you have any idea how much that is in annual registration fees? I’ll tell you. It comes out to around $130,000 PER YEAR! Fuck. That’s just on costs/fees. I think there may be something wrong with me. But it’s soooooo much fun! I seriously need to sell some of them off. I’ve also been trying to come up with a better idea to monetize all of them, or at least automate the process of it and applying it to the old and new ones, so I can keep my acquisitions up and don’t have to sell them until they are at least 100x more valuable than when I first bought them. This will take lots more thinking, but until then, I’ll keep everyone updated until I reach the 20,000 and 25,000 domain mark, and I’m not even my own private registrar yet! Scary!

Update #2 -

I’ve been doing some free TrustRank scoring and linking suggestions for some friends, mostly bloggers and SEO pals, just to prove that I’m not making any of it up. Also I’m doing it so they can review it and tell me what they think, maybe give me some feedback or suggestions on pricing or ways to market this.

I’ve been in a serious rut trying to come up with a solid way to do this as a service seperate from WickedFire. Again, if you have no idea what I’m even talking about, maybe you should read some of my previous blog posts. They aren’t tough to find considering I rarely update here.

I’ll make the announcement by Monday. I’m only going to do 10 or 20 domains in total for the first round, and then jack the price up and do it for a second and final round of people, and then just go private label to SEO firms.

I swear I’m not being an ebook douchebag about it and doing a sales pitch thing. The only reason I’m doing two paid rounds of this service is because I want people to see how full of shit Google is, and how, in spite of what many SEO “experts” tell you on their forums and blogs, they have no fucking idea what they are talking about. Well, maybe that’s too harsh, maybe they do have some idea, but for the most part, it’s all speculation, no one has ever had confirmation before, and it shows now.

I’d also like to add that Google is evil. VERY evil. But brilliant too.

Enough for now, lots more to come later.
