I am agree

Just wanted to say thanks for this great interview. Really impressed by Luqman Khan! The resources he shared are very useful.

Keep up the great work!

Nice

Hope it will help them

I also take inspiration from Neil Patel not only for branding but also for online marketing trends and tactics.

Wish you the best to both of you.

You can’t do it “easily”!
If it was easy then EVERYBODY would be doing it and make goggle’s life a lot harder.
Link building takes time and/or money.
If you haven’t got time or money then you will need to get a job stacking shelves at the supermarket and earn some money to throw at link building

They’ve already gone after GP’s since 2014. The key is being smart about it.

And Thanks For Sharing such an inspiring case study.
Best Regards.

Thanks, Matt for sharing this with us.

Don’t be obvious about it.

Hey Rahul

Ever tried to do an interview like this yourself?

Cheers,

Easy answer. Google doesn’t want you to build your own links.

Thanks Matt 🙂

Best of luck.

Let see, what happened :p

Scaling usually has to do with getting more traffic and increased conversions. Of course the former is affected by link building (as you asked), amongst other things.

Jano

The greatest interview ever !

I’m just curious, Luqman mentioned that about 40 % anchors were for main keywords and for other topic keywords.

Main question, If I understand it correctly brand name anchors and naked url’s were linked to site homepage and these mentioned main keywords were linked to posts?

Congratulations and wish you more success in coming days.

Glad you didn’t hate it.

If you ask me… actually I don’t think so. 🙂 You should see some of the niches I’m in.

I loved hearing the story… it had to be told. Props to Luqman in this one. I was just the microphone.

Yes, although they are still offering their service on BHW, I don’t recommend using them.
Please search for “SEO Steroid” on google and you can find them.

I am sure that you will implement the strategies used by Luqman Khan to his site. You might have seen the interview two more time. Of course I did not watch the interview but there is no point in hiding that I read the complete interview in one go although my wife was calling me to have dinner that time. The complete interview was not only engaging but full of valuable information. Wish Luqman many more happy moments like selling of 10beasts.

Looks like greenlabseo.com doesn’t exist anymore. Any idea how to reach Rait?

If you’re into learning FBA I highly suggest this blog https://www.abetterlemonadestand.com/. You can find every ecommerce related guide there.

Thanks for the advice on page speed. I’ll audit right away and probably find someone to fix it.

You would be great in FBA, Luqman. As you’ve been good at Google SEO tech, it’s not hard to research Amazon SEO. It’s much easier than Google SEO. According to my experience, the key of selling on Amazon is creating your own brand, new design. So you wouldn’t be involved into price competition. So the only rest thing is finding good Chinese manufacturers. Good luck!

The great thing about entrepreneurship, is that once you get that first big win, everything else seems easy. I’m sure you’ll do fine in FBA, Luqman.

Well played, Luqman.

Well, it really depends person to person Vladimir. You are absolutely right, it can be a mistake or it can be an awesome start to the next project. When I started 10beasts, I didn’t have that much money to invest, meanwhile, I do have money to invest in the next project, make sense right?

Well, for the Amazon FBA, I have no IDEA how it works … so I will have to learn it first, and at the same time I need to spare few hours from my daily routine to invest on learning this new skill.

I had no time to spend on 10beasts because of that it was getting down, so selling that was not that bad idea for someone like me. I am not going to start FBA right away, I will have to schedule my timetable first and do a bunch of things to get things back on the track.

I just had a look at the Best Products pro, you are doing a great job there. I recommend you to work on page load timing as it takes a lot of time to load fully. Maybe only for me lol. But you are doing a good job there man. Best of luck with that 🙂

The suy whom I hired is known as Rait. You can find him on greenlabseo.com

Yeah. That’s what i was thinking too. I’ve never seen someone reveals this much of SEO secrets about what they did to rank. Looks like a humble guy.

Kudos to Matt and Luqman. Well done.

Thanks for the advice.

The certainly is random ranking factor involved in every site’s beginning stages. But on top of that, for us to decide which site is “better” or “worse” is beyond human capability. Way too many ranking factors.

My opinion is that selling this is a mistake and I would like to hear your opinion on this (and others too):

-At first, decision sounded good. Maybe you want to open a restaurant, buy new house or just make a few years holiday.

But then I saw that you plan to start Amazon FBA business.

The first thing that came to my mind is why selling and re-investing in starting new business from scratch when you can leverage what you currently have.

10Beasts is really something that doesn’t happen that often. You’ve made a true winner that outranked big companies with big teams trying to compete for your keywords and I think that not leveraging it for growing new business is a big mistake considering you want to start FBA business.

How to leverage it? Some of the many ways in my opinion:

Here’s a quick example (beside the obvious one of 10x the current article number):

1) Launch FBA product that’s supportive product to what you’re ranking for at 10beasts.com. For example – gamers who buy gaming mouse usually want gaming pad too.

2) Find a supplier for more premium mouse pads and create fancy landing page like Razer’s: https://www.razer.com/au-en/gaming-mouse-mats/Razer-Firefly-V2/RZ02-03020100-R3M1
The advantage here is leveraging retargeting pixel on your gaming mouse article to show them ads for your gaming brand. You can also include 10Beasts.com badge since they are familiar with the brand to boost credibility of new gaming brand.

I think that repeating the process of:

1) Writing new articles for new keywords
2) Building independent product brand
3) Use retargeting pixels, lookalike audiences, analysis of current audience to get people to buy new product.

Would 10x the buyout price of 10Beasts. This is the idea I got since I first saw your story and I was sure you’re going to do similar 🙂

What do you guys think?

P.S: if you’d like to see the site I’ve made inspired by this story and following the strategy above just search for Best Products Pro. It’s been online for 5 months now with ~$4k invested so far.

I think this has given me new hope to build an authority site – Luqman makes it sound easy. I checked out the site today – not many posts – which is very surprising.

Also check out interview your heroes I think this would be beneficial to your interview technique. Worth signing up for – I’m sure you’ve heard of Mixergy.

Just finished listening to it…it lived up to expectation.

Thanks to both you and particularly Luqman for being so frank and open about his business and strategy.

Impossible to say.

Way cooler than that.

My pleasure. 🙂

Just wanted to say thanks for this great interview…I haven’t read or listened to it yet, but I know it’s going to be a humdinger! 🙂

Keep up the great work!
