The Internet Marketing Challenge Blog

Sorry it has been a while since I last updated on the UAW challenge but I wanted to give the UAW backlinks propagate for long enough. Well, now it has been nearly 5 months since the challenge begun and here is the latest results for the test domains in my challenge. First the 5 low hanging fruit domains…

There is no doubt about it that both Yahoo and Bing fell in love with my low hanging fruit domains but Google fell out of love with them to a large extent. After nearly 5 months, 3 out of the 5 main keywords for these domains are ranking between 3 and 10 in both Bing and Yahoo but languishing between page 2 and 5 on Google.

As far as traffic goes, my best low hanging fruit domain gets around 60 unique visitors a day with Bing providing most of that, followed by Yahoo and Google comes in with some obscure long tail keywords. The worst performing low hanging fruit domain gets just 8 uniques a day.

The results for the more competitive domains are not encouraging. The main keywords for each domain are indexed in all the main search engines but so low in the rankings that I am not seeing any traffic from those keywords. However, the long tail keywords are providing me with some reasonable traffic for the domains and the best performing one get around 50 uniques a day, split equally between Google, Yahoo and Bing. The worst performing domain is seeing just 5 uniques a day..

So, after nearly 5 months of this challenge there is no doubt about it that UAW does work in isolation but I am sure that if I used it in conjunction with some other good backlinking methods then it would be a strong weapon in my overall armory. Questions still remain over whether Google are onto the UAW backlinks and whether it is a good tool to use in the long term then I am not yet convinced. Maybe a year from now I will be able to give you a better idea on that.
