TrustRank Service Update

Just wanted to let everyone know, all reports are going to be delivered by Friday night NYC/EST time. There have been a few delays from people switching orders, adding orders, and a few people just being plain annoying. There is ONE pending order that looks like it will fizzle out (if you are that idiot reading this, I’m going to be deleting your invoice because you haven’t answered it since Monday).

For those of you who want to get the service but were too slow or too late to catch it, I can add you to the waiting list, but it’s very unlikely more than one spot will open up.

The next service is going to be more expensive but will be doing a lot more at the same time. For those people who ordered the first one, I’ll give you first access to it and take $50-$75 or so off your order.  I’ve been screwing around with some other cheaper solutions too so that more people can benefit from it, and trying to figure out if I can get it automated or not, so we’ll see what happens then.

Also…

Stop trying to IM and email me asking me to explain what I did during the year of research on the TR algo. Seriously guys. Why would I sit there and explain the shit in-depth and give out the stuff I did and found out and share it for free? Exactly what would I gain through that? And also, I will never make a piece of software to sell or anything that would EVER put me at risk at losing my upper hand with this stuff, ever! So just stop asking already. I’m glad you think it’s really interesting and blah blah blah… but I spent a year now doing this shit by hand, and when I was first asking around for help, no one was there to give it to me, so if you want to do it yourself, you’re on your own! Don’t try to get shit from me on this.

That’s all for now. I hope to make a totally unrelated information post as the next blog entry. It’s been a long time since I’ve done one of those, so I think it’s time for that again.

Last Call For TrustRank Scoring Service & FAQ’s

I rejected two people because they don’t know how to follow simple directions, so that leaves approximately 6 spots open. This is the last call for them. Email me with the information now, because I have a good feeling it will be done for today. To those who have emailed me, I’m still in the invoicing everyone process. If anyone doesn’t pay within 24 hours, I’m removing you, and opening the spot to someone on the waiting list (if it gets to that). I’m going to fill ALL of the orders one after another as soon as all 60 are confirmed.

Some quick FAQ’s about the service…

Q- Can I pay you now to reserve a spot for a new site later?

A- No.

Q- How fast will you get my site to rank #1 and for how long on Google?

A- You are an idiot. This is not an SEO or Ranking service like that. Learn to read before you send retarded emails.

Q- This TrustRank stuff is fascinating, can you tell me more about what you learned?

A- No. I spent 11 (soon 12) months doing it by hand for myself. Not for you. I used to be a nice guy who shared information, but those days are long gone due to people always asking and never giving back. If you want to do it on your own, by all means, knock yourself out. But please don’t IM me or email me asking for “tips” or hand me outs on this.

Q- $400 is a pretty steep price. Not sure if I can afford that right now. Can you just tell me my TrustRank score and maybe give me 2 or 3 link suggestions instead? I promise not to tell anyone.

A- No. How about you go to Times Square and hold up a giant sign that says “I’m Retarded! Please Donate to my cause!”

Q- Are you against TLA or SEO’s with these services?

A- Nope. I may not agree with most of their sales pitches, but this is actually something that surprisingly compliments their services to their clients, and also I plan on banking off of them for that exact reason. TLA and other link leasing/selling places would probably do a hell of a lot better if they sold links that had good TrustRank scores and didn’t make it so obvious as to the sites that your link would appear on. Whatever, I’m not getting into it now, it’s giving me an idea for a better service.

Q- Why are you selling this instead of doing it for your own sites?

A- I am doing it for my own sites. But since I’m the only one in the world outside of Google Inc. that managed to figure this stuff out, I have the upper hand, and I’m going to milk it for every dime it’s worth, without ever “revealing” how I do it for as long as I possibly can. This is MY time to shine, so if you don’t like what I’m doing, screw off, because I just don’t care.

Q- Can I make a donation to your favorite charity over a period of time instead of paying a flat fee?

A- Yes. My favorite charity is called Pay Jon through PayPal for this service in a one time fee of $400 a pop or go away. I don’t think they take checks, cash or money orders either right now.

Q- After you hit 60 customers, are you going to do it again in a month or two later?

A- Doubtful. Again, since I’m the only one doing it, I’m going to do different types of services that cater to my availibility to keep me challenged and interested, and well paid for it.

Q- What are you going to offer next then?

A- A monthly subscription service for users and a seperate service for the professional and consulting SEO services out there.

Q- Do I still need to get other links or do any SEO stuff after I get the report from you or after your subscription service thing is launched?

A- That’s your call. If you depend on this, it will work, but it will go slowwww. It’s like being a homerun hitter in baseball. You can’t just rely on steroids or juicing yourself up to be the next Barry Bonds. You have to work out and keep fit and practice too AND add the correct regiment of “performance enhancing drugs” in order to be the best out there, regardless of age or any other factors. So consider my services the “performance enhancing drugs” and your site as the seriously training athlete.

Q- Can you recommend any SEO techniques or firms I should use?

A- No. I’m not a consultant. Just follow the normal on page and off page shit you’ve been doing up until now.

Q- But wait, if this means I have to keep doing SEO and linking stuff, then why do I need your services?

A- Because the chances of you hitting the correct TrustRank level on your own are slim to none. Many sites get great TrustRank scores, and then do something to lose them or cause them to quickly drop. It happens all the time. This isn’t some magic potion that if you sprinkle it on you’ll be good to go forever. Things like that exist only in fairy tales. That’s what make them FAIRY TALES. In the real world you have to work for what you want. Although, with this stuff, I’m not giving you the answers, just merely suggestions on what I would do if I owned your site. Very much like half the answers to a test, because you still have to come up with the other half yourself, and you will still have to study and apply work to keep it going, although, it will get MUCH easier and cheaper for you. So instead of constantly having to do paid link campaigns every month of 10 or 20 links, it will drop down to about 5 or less within a month, and after another month or so, you probably won’t need paid links anymore (depending on your current TR score and forecasted TR scores — remember, linking is just ONE of the factors, there are still over 300 of them to do, but linking is one of the MAJOR ones).

On a side note, I’m disabling comments from now on. They irritate me and I really hate having to manually moderate them, so if you want to comment on anything I post, slap a link to here, and comment about it on your own damn blog.

Boomshockalaka!

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.
