The Results Are In! Outsourcing Squirrel Content is Ranking

How well is the content that I ordered for review purposes performing?

Over the past few months, I’ve ordered a number of articles from various content agencies to test out their ordering process and the quality of their content.

I thought it would be fun to check in on these articles and see how they’re performing!

First up is the article I had written for our SEO Butler review. It was a post for my niche site Own The Yard titled ‘what do garden snails eat,’ and targeting that key phrase.

Here’s how it’s doing by Ahrefs standards.

It’s ranking #3 for its target keyword and almost on page 1 for the much higher keyword volume ‘what do snails eat.’ A couple of internal links might get it there!

It’s nice to see the post is doing well.

For our review of Content Refined we ordered 2 pieces of content - one for Niche Pursuits and one for Own The Yard.

The post we ordered for Niche Pursuits was targeting the keyword ‘personal website examples.’ Here’s how that one is doing.

This post is also doing quite well, but it needs a bit of a nudge to take it to page one.

It’s ranking in position 17 for the estimated 1.6K volume search ‘personal website examples,’ which isn’t showing as one of the top 5 organic keywords.

And lastly, the post from Content Refined that we published on Own They Yard was targeting the keyword ‘Can squirrels eat chocolate.’

Here’s how that post is doing.

Position 1 for its target keyword!

Of course, Own The Yard is well known for its great squirrel content, so it’s no surprise really. :)

If you missed my latest update for Own The Yard, you can check that out here (earned $5,800 that month).

It’s good to see all of these posts are doing well, and we’ll see how they continue to perform in the future.

If you want to check out those pieces of content for yourself, click through to the content agency reviews above and you’ll find a link.

You can also use code ‘NICHEPURSUITS’ to get 10% OFF content over at SEO Butler, or code ‘spencer’ to get 10% OFF your first order at Content Refined.

Thanks again,

Spencer
