Before I give you the results of my keyword experiment so far I want to talk about Court’s latest post - As it turns out content is king

Court has removed all his keyword sniping post and shut down his new keyword sniping site and his paid keyword sniping course. This very drastic measure is a result of his site being dropped from no 1 in SERPS to page 7. He has said that people have mistaken his keyword sniping posts to mean that content doesn’t matter and that he is misleading people with the posts. That people who are reading his posts then making thin sites will be penalised by Google. I, and I am sure many other people, have not interpreted it this way. In fact after reading the posts I realised that i wasn’t putting enough content on my sites and began to add more. So for me the posts had the opposite effect. I fully intend to continue using the keyword sniping technique.

So what are my results so far?

I began the experiment in the beginning of July and after 1 week my results were as follows

Keyword A

• Position after 2 days 219
• Position after 1 week 125

Keyword B

• Position after 2 days 112
• Position after 1 week 106

Here are my SERPS today (Sep 12th)

Keyword A

• Position after 2 months 34

Keyword B

• Position after 2 months 51

Unique visitors to date 1,356

So keyword A has gone from position 219 to 34 and keyword B from 112 to 51. I haven’t published any more articles than the original 2 that I submitted to Ezine Articles and then to iSnare and Free Article Submission Service. I have added 3 of my original articles to Qassia for the backlinks. I really need to write some more articles for distribution!
