"Tomb Raider" SEO Case Study Update + Exclusive Content and Links Deal...

What can happen after a year of adding content and links to an expired domain that you purchased about a year ago?

Well, I'm happy to share a "tomb raider" SEO case study update provided by Mark Mars over at Niche Website Builders.

Mark bought an aged domain (one with quality links pointing to it) back in October 2020 and the site went live with it's first 9 articles on Nov. 12th, 2020 (almost exactly 1 year ago).

Mark provided an entire update that I previously published in August this year, sharing that the site had gone from no traffic when launched to around 35,000 pageviews a week.

You can read more about how Mark implemented his "Tomb Raider" SEO strategy in his original post from his post back in August right here.

However, what has happened to the site since August? Has the traffic tanked, has it grown?

Well, here's the update:

The site now has nearly 300 posts with an average word count of 1500 words per post.

The site was not monetized at the time of the previous case study update, but the site has now made just under $10k from Ezoic display ads in the last 4 months.

And the traffic?

The site is now getting about 250,000 sessions a month and approximately 63,000 pageviews a week!

That's not quite double the traffic since early August, but it's close!

At its current level of earnings, Mark estimates that the site is worth about $100,000 if it were to sell for a 40x multiple.

Worth the Investment?

So, let's do some math on the total investment Mark has made over the past year.

Total investment to date is approximately $35,000 (including about $2,500 for the aged domain). This investment also covers all the content and link building, which Mark of course used his own agency to create (Niche Website Builders).

So, from the looks of it, Mark now has a site that is 1 year old that would profit him about $65,000 if he were to sell today.

Or if he holds onto the site, he's got a growing asset that could be worth even more down the road.

I love hearing these kind of success stories!


Black Friday Came Early...for Links and Content

As part of this case study update, Mark wanted to provide an "Early Black Friday Special" for Niche Pursuits readers.

Here's some details from Mark on why they opened this special offer "early" and what you can expect to get:

The reason we have opened our sale early this year is that as always, we have limited availability, and last year, we sold over 4 million words on Black Friday itself to new clients, which meant our availability had almost sold out before any of our existing clients even had a chance to get their hands on a bargain.

As always, content is our main service with this year being no different. We are only offering one content option which is as follows:

Ultimate Content

The outstanding high-quality content you are used to, with even more for your money!

Niche Website Builders will be giving you an extra 20% content on all content subscriptions and 15% extra content on done-for-you websites and aged domain packages and one-off bulk content orders across their early Black Friday sale.

Grab the Special Early Black Friday Special on Content Right Here

That means the custom SEO conversion content, with all keyword research and direct-to-site uploading for as little as $0.056 per word!

Based on last year’s sale and these unbelievable deals, the availability is likely to sell out incredibly quickly. Mark suggests if you are looking to order content, you do so as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Link Building Magic

If you’re looking to boost your authority and take your site to the next level, you can get 15% off all link-building packages and subscriptions including shotgun skyscraper...

As a new service, the amount of accounts that Niche Website Builders can manage is extremely limited and subscriptions will be on a "first-come, first-served" basis.
