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.

SEO Test 7: Alternate Languages

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.

SEO Test 6: Zezima – An Unspoiled Gem

Time Spent: 2 hours

Site Top 10: #8 reached July 4 2009
Site No 1: Mission accomplished August 16 2009 – Successful search engine optimization indeed.

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!
