I finally received my article set for Site 2 this morning. The 3 rewrites were all 87%+ unique from each other so that was good. The writing quality was also good although I always make edits for better flow.
So I spent this morning editing the two sets of articles for my 2 sites and picked an inner page to target in my links in addition to the link that will go to my homepage. I went ahead and submitted one version of each article set to EZA with the two backlinks. Even though the articles rewrites are all 80%+ unique, just to be safe, I will wait for EZA to approve my submission before posting the other 2 versions of the articles. I don’t know how EZA assesses uniqueness so I would rather not take any chances since they are picky.
While I wait for EZA’s approval I will spin an article for Site 2 (Site 1 spun article is complete). After that I should have all the necessary materials ready to go. Despite the fact that I had the article sets written up, there is still alot of work involved in this process. I probably spent about an hour editing the article sets and will spend at least 2 hours total spinning two articles. I am slow, but I also try for good quality so it’s worth it for now. I’m not sure I could ever outsource a job like this and feel comfortable with the results (except maybe to James the Super eLancer).
By the way, here is an update on rankings as well as the current ranking of the inner pages that will also be linked out to:
Site 1: Home page is #15 for kw; Inner page is #194 for kw
Site 2: Home page is #133 for kw; Inner page is #284 for kw
I picked the inner pages based on what was ranking best (site 1) or what had good potential sale-wise (site 2, product review). Notice that Site 2 has seen a nice improvement in ranking since I first posted (was #314 a week ago). No clue why, just hope it holds.
That’s my update for today. Hopefully I will have all my articles posted by the end of the week and then I can start sending out spun submissions for backlinks starting next week. I started this experiment to distract me from our not-so-fun homebuying experience and I have to say the distraction has helped, so that is good. Hopefully the results will be an added bonus.

Wow – two days in a row posting – I’m impressed! What ever happened to you taking a break…? Seriously, though, it looks like you are moving full steam ahead – and I’m sure you will see some interesting results/movement soon. I’ll certainly be staying tuned!
Michelle, this is my last week as a free woman. I have one kid out of school starting next week and the second to follow. Very soon I will be scarce.
