The Auto Content Cash system will be available on March 9th at 11:00 CST. The guys behind the system are doing the typical pre-launch hypefest. (Click this link if you want to see an example.) Speaking of the guys behind Auto Content Cash, they include: Alex Goad, Brian Johnson, Jared Croslow. I am familiar with Alex Goad only so I can’t really say if these guys are stand-up guys or not.
What I find funny is the number of “reviews” listed in the Google search results for this system. Obviously, the only way anyone can do a review at this point is if they were allowed to use the system before it was launched. Based on some of the sites I saw, I highly doubt that’s the case. In other words, you have all these newbies doing the sheep dance – some guru said to pick a product and create a review website and all the newbie sheep followed directions.
Anyway, back to the Auto Content Cash review….I did download and install the Deep Link Engine Wordpress plug-in they provide for free. It seemed to work okay at first but now, I’m getting a weird looking error message popping up everytime I do anything with a post in the Wordpress admin screen. I’m able to click through it but I have no idea why it’s happening or how to fix it. I hope it’s not causing any indexing problems.
At this point, I haven’t decided if I’m going to take the Auto Content Cash (ACC) system plunge yet. Some of their site results intrigue me. For example, type ‘used textbooks for sale’ into Google and look for redlinetextbooks.com. That’s one of their sites and it’s currently listed at #5 on my list. So, that looks like a very positive result for one of these ACC sites. BUT, click on the link and look at one of the pages. What do you notice? eBay listings! They’re linking to eBay.
I have a real problem linking to eBay because I CAN’T GET THE EBAY PARTNER NETWORK TO RESPOND TO MY APPLICATION! (Can you tell I’m frustrated with eBay?) Therefore, it appears the only revenue sources for me using Auto Content Cash websites are (1) Adsense, and (2) selling the site.
To be clear though – I have not seen the system yet so maybe there are other revenue streams available. I guess I will find out *IF* I decide to join. By the way, they’re not telling anyone how much it will cost yet so that will be a big factor in deciding to join and determining if it’s worth it.
I’ll let everyone know what I decide to do.

At the end of February, I created a review page on this site for the Eva Dry 500 dehumidifier. My goal was to show you how to take a product keyword and get it highly ranked and hopefully, start making money from it. Let’s review the results (as of March 6, 2010).
I surfed over to Google and entered my product keyword without quotes. Here are the search engine results:
My page is in the #6 position for the Eva Dry 500 Review keyword phrase out of approximately 118,000 results. Keep in mind that you may see different numbers depending on your location and the Google datacenters, and all those other techie things that Google doesn’t want us to know about.
Next, let’s look at the search results using quotes – “Eva Dry 500 Review”.
Wow, I’m surprised that I am the only site matching that exact phrase. If I were looking to buy a dehumidifier and I was interested in the Eva Dry 500, I probably would use that phrase to look for reviews and opinions.
As of this post, the site has not received any traffic for that keyword so there are no monetary results to report. But I will continue to monitor it and will give you another update in a week or two.

In part 1 of the “Search Engine Ranking Case Study”, I looked at how the Netknucklehead.com site got ranked for a rather obscure keyword phrase. In that post, I talked about giving yourself opportunities to make money by ranking for *any* keywords/phrases whether it be intentional or by accident. Now, let’s take a look at my intentional attempt to rank for a particular keyword.
Part 2 of this search engine ranking case study began by identifying a popular product at Amazon. Amazon will tell you what the top selling items are for each of their categories. Simply go to Google and type in “amazon top sellers” and click on the link “Amazon.com Bestsellers”. You will be directed to the Amazon bestseller page with a list of categories displayed down the left-hand side.
My problem is that I tend to gravitate to the sports and electronics categories because I’m interested in them and a million other people are as well. So I made a conscious effort to change it up and choose a different category. In this case, I chose ‘home and garden’ – I think…..not too sure though but it doesn’t matter. Somehow I ended up finding the Eva Dry 500 dehumidifier and decided to use it for this case study.
The first two things I checked after I chose the Eva Dry 500 were the product description and the number of ratings. I needed a product that had a thorough description because I planned on rewriting it to use for my content. I also wanted to use a product with 20 or more user comments because I planned on using 4 or 5 of those on my page. The Eva Dry met both criteria so I continued on.
I decided to create a Wordpress page instead of a post because I didn’t want a post about dehumidifiers mixed in with my other ‘how to make money’ posts. I figured the other advantage to using a page is that I could “hide it” meaning that I could keep it from appearing on the site’s navigation menu. Here is what the page looks like:
Eva Dry 500 Page
After I published the page, I “tweeted” about it on my Twitter account to help get it recognized and some search engine robot momentum going. Oh, and I also linked to it using the links section on the Netknucklehead.com site.
The next step is to monitor the robot traffic and the search engine indexing. I typically see new posts indexed within 4-5 hours. I’m curious to see if new *pages* get indexed that quickly.
Once the page has been indexed I will start monitoring actual traffic coming in via the keywords. If this experiment is successful, I should see some earnings from either Amazon (visitors buying the Eva Dry 500) and/or Adsense (visitors clicking on the Adsense ads).
I will keep you updated as this search engine ranking case study progresses.
