Another Swedish site that I will be working with is körkort.se. A site about taking a driver’s license, or as we say in Sweden: körkort. It’s a site for people that want to get their driver’s license faster and with less effort.

Update August 5: All sites are now parked on the first page. The main problem now is that there are YouTube and image results on what appears to be place 2, 3 and 4, so my sites appear at positions 5,6,7 and 8 instead of 2,3,4 and 5. According to first page click share estimates, my sites now get 15% of the clicks instead of the 31% I would get if those results were not there. The top placement alone would give more that all my sites in either case, though.

The idea to once and for all find out how big of a difference the .com, .org, .net and .info top domains will cause in the search results came when I was buying the .com domain for fulldragon and the registrar flashes me a promotion to get 60% off for the other top domains. I fell for their offer and decided to do an interesting test. The term full dragon is a very common search term among Runescape players and it also has some decent competition so a good placement does not come for free. According to Google it has 2,900 searches per month with exact match.

Said and done, the domains are all placed on american servers and running identical wordpress installs and template. There is an article about the full dragon that was written by my collegue and it actually contains very good information that will keep visitors on the site and even appreciate the visit. In order to give the sites equal link power, I will link to them in reverse order on another site. The sites are: www.fulldragon.com, www.fulldragon.org, www.fulldragon.net and www.fulldragon.info.

As some kind of ending of my attempts to get computer gaming (virtual computer game currency sales to be more exact) market shares in Sweden I have made three more websites for wow gold, wow gold and again wow gold! For those who didn’t realize it yet this is all about getting in the first position of searches for World of Warcraft gold. I also made websites about mmorpgs and dataspel (computer games).

Technically speaking, we are talking about Joomla sites with the swedich installed. They are also .se and .nu domains (nu being “now” in swedish) hosted on swedish servers. I will continue working on these sites and even if I think it’s funny to create new websites, I still hope I wil get some kind of return for creating them.

I have just created two more straight forward search engine optimization sites about poker: party poker and poker se. They are created with the tile being a question that gets answered in the meta desciption. I hope these sites can advance in the swedish serps with the help och som poker links and also swedish gaming links.

The website empire-std.com that I previously setup at SEO Test 1 will now be optimized for the term “free std” (260 monthly searches), with the longer tails of “free testing std” (28 monthly searches), “free std clinic” (880) and “free clinics for std testing” (590 monthly searches). Not very much to hope for when it comes to PPC income.

In order to get a bigger total market share of the virtual currency sales industry, I have been creating new sites in Queen’s English (as opposed to American), German, Spanish and Swedish. I got the proper top domains .co.uk, .de, .es and .se, however it seems harder to get the .ca, .it, .fr and .br, not to mention the main asian top domains.

I also managed to put the sites up on swedish and british hosting, however no german hosting yet. Now in order to get the sites to rank on the localized search engines, I would also need inlinks with the correct languages and from the corresponding countries. Again I can do this for UK, Sweden and Spain, but Germany will be harder.

Search terms in goal are as usual the Runescape, Maplestory, World of Warcraft and EVE Online gurrencies; Runescape Gold, Maplestory Mesos, WoW Gold and EVE ISK. The only alternation is the spanish WoW Oro for Gold.

When looking at the Google Adwords Keyword Tool, I often get amazed by how many people search for terms related to Runescape. The other day I was playing around and I found out an astounding Global Monthly Search Volume of 74,000 for the term zezima with an Advertizer Competition not being at max. Zezima is the most known player of the game, and has made his name from obtaining the max level in all skills. A good opportunity for search engine optimization indeed.

Said and done, a domain (zezima.org) is purchased and the website being built.

Update 1: The site is now in place but under construction. It was indexed 3 days after being created and already at #12 for the desired keyword!

In the hunt for interesting domains, I have purchased runescape.gp and a Catalan domain, the later being a so called sponsored domain. The purchased domain name is great but there is a catch:

You can apply for a .cat domain if you belong to the Catalan cultural and linguistic community in the Internet. .CAT is a sponsored domain and domain name applications require validation by the .CAT Registry.

Being a foreigner living in Catalunya, I sent them my registration documents with the city, however making the site in catalan will be a challenge. I will link it when it’s ready.

The other domain, the real test subject in this post; runescape.gp is using the top domain for Guadeloupe. I had to send my passport to prove my identity and pay a stiff registration fee but everything seems to go well.

The interesting thing is that gp is the abbreviation for gold piece in Runescape and pretty much an acronym for money inside the game. The Google Adwords Keyword Tool shows a Global Monthly Search Volume of 2,400 for runescape gp and that should be high conversion traffic.

The question is how long it will take to rank for the term. Timetable is listed at the top of the post.
