Author: Just a quick and interesting update for you guys.. All my attention has been on Google up to now until the other day when I saw quite a bit of traffic coming to all my low hanging fruit type domains. When I checked my analytics I noticed that all of this traffic was coming from bing.com and also a bit from Yahoo!
This was quite a suprise for me and demonstrates that perhaps bing are a bit more receptive to the backlinks given by UAW.. The traffic isn’t as much as I could expect from Google in fact it probably half the amount of traffic that I would expect from a page on page 1 of Google. However it is all good stuff really and sort of an unexpected bonus!
Out of the 5 “low hanging fruit” domains they are all ranked on either page 1 or 2 of bing and are still not doing anything in Google. The 5 more competitive domains are still languishing in both Google and Bing not getting any traffic except from a few obscure long tail keywords.
Well it’s been over a month since I started this test and I have to say the results so far have become less than encouraging…
For all 5 of the low hanging fruit domains only 1 of them is still in Google top 10 for their target keywords and the rest have dropped to nowhere or so deep that it doesn’t really matter. For the 5 domains that targeted the more competitive keyword phrases, well they are nowhere to be seen in Google at all! All domains are still indexed however and I am wondering whether they are all sandboxed for getting to many links to quickly.
I am disapointed overall and was hoping for a lot better results from using UAW. Maybe, I used it all wrong and should have slowed the rate of posts and that might have kept the sites under the radar a bit. However my gut instinct is that the quality of the backlinks are not up to scratch with very little PR. I also wonder whether Google are onto the sites that UAW use for backlinks.
I will keep these domains going but have stopped all Unique article wizard projects and I will report of any progress both good and bad over the coming months!
