TESTIMONIAL
Paul, I was delighted when you allowed me to test drive Happar M.E I was blown away by the power of V1.1 and was really excited by the list of M.Es features you emailed me. Ill just briefly let your readers know of my experience with happar.
Blew the engine on 1.1
As the saying goes, With great power comes great responsibility and when I got my hands on Happar 1.1, I completely lost all sense of responsibility. I installed the script on a boring throw away domain and using some sneaky tricks I got this little PR 0 domain to quickly seduce google. Within 2 weeks this site went from an average of 40 visitors per day and zero earnings to :
10,000+ uniques
33000 Pages indexed
$90+ per day in adsense earnings
Yeah, I was growing way too quickly and I knew it would all come crashing down any minute but I didnt care. I wanted to see how far I could push it and learn as much as possible from this google magnet. And learn and crash I did. This joyride lasted for 6 weeks before google dumped my casanova PR 0 domain. I didnt care as I had been given a clear insight to how the powerful techniques behind the script worked and was full of ideas on how to create a similar script that would grow my sites naturally and more importantly, have a great long-term relationship with google. I knew how we could do this without any nasty Black Hat tricks like keyword stuffing etc.
Luckily I didnt have to go hire programmers as when I personally contacted Paul. He informed me of how M.E was going to work. They were putting in features that I knew would work great and some other features I hadnt even dreamed of. I wanted to get my hands on this a.s.a.p so I sent the happar team screen shots some of my results with 1.1, hoping that it would convince them that I was the perfect test pilot.
In 2 weeks I was getting TOO much traffic for my host to handle. (I dumped them)
That along with some pleading convinced happar to let me test drive M.E beta,
Behind The Wheel of Happar M.E
- Installation was a breeze. Upload unzipped contents, Next, Next, Next, Next and finished.
- Control Panel was class. Self explanatory and in no more than 20 minutes I had my Search Engine script installed and configured for my chosen market.
- Promotion. When it comes to promotion, I know my stuff. I knew I would be able to naturally increase my rankings, PR and traffic overtime. Without any extra effort I could also increase my rankings for tons of long tail niche specific keywords thanks to some sweet features of Happar M.E
My Test site
I installed M.E on a test domain in mid December 07. This domain was getting an average of 50 visitors per day from search engines and was 2 months old. It had a handful of pages, all of which were indexed. I started a daily routine of 30-45 minutes of free promotion and link building on this domain. (My blueprints will detail exactly what this involved)
I kept the momentum and monitored the results closely.
Exponential growth (Naturally)
My main aim was to get the long tail keywords indexed in google. This I knew would eventually equate to massive traffic spread across a huge amount of long tail terms. How long would this site last? Would google like it? And most importantly how much would it earn?
I planned to get about 10,000 pages indexed and move onto my next build. If you have ever done portal building or any form of mass site building, you will appreciate that having a useful white hat site with 10,000 pages indexed in google is a mammoth task this can be easily accomplished with mass site building software that scrapes and jumbles up content from all over the web. Feed it a list of keywords and the software automatically creates the pages and content. Sounds good yeh? It would be if your mass generated sites stayed indexed.
The search engines can now quickly detect that theses sites are generated by software and contain garbled useless content. Today you would be lucky if your software generated site lasted a week. Success with this model can now only be achieved by continuous building, promoting and monitoring. How ironic, software that was built to save you a ton of time, now needs to be manually piloted for hours everyday in order to get half decent results and earnings.
2 Weeks Later
Man, every day was a blast. Never before had I seen such impressive results. I was getting up to 100+ new pages indexed every day in google. Traffic was building; people were actually using the Happar search engine to find results, which resulted in even more pages being indexed. Most importantly, the sites adsense earnings had kicked off. My only disappointment was, I had stupidly chosen a market that had a very low adsense EPC (earnings per click), I was only getting an average of $0.03 per click. Yeah I know, dumbo here never did his market research. It was a topic I love, computer games. Well, at least it wont be in-vain if you learn from my stupidity ?. (My blueprints will also show you how to choose a market that has excellent adsense EPC)
Within just 2 weeks my site was earning me an average of $5 per day. I was happy but I was still kicking my-self because, If I had chosen a market with an average EPC of just $0.10, that $5 would have turned into $15+ per day. Anyway, despite my low EPC, I decided to keep using my promotional methods to see how far I could push this baby.
3 Weeks later (Panic & Growing Pains)
While monitoring my stats on week 3, I noticed that my site was growing way too fast. I was getting over a 1000 new pages per day indexed. I knew from my Happar Version 1.1 and Black Hat days that this would send up some red flags. I contacted Paul at Happar and he quickly showed me how to hit the brakes and let this beast conquer the engines quietly under the radar.
I continued my promotion for about another week and then practically stopped my promotion and link building. Since January, the most time Ive spent on this in a day was 5-10 minutes
Enough of my waffling, See if some screen shots of my traffic and earnings impress you.
Check out this screen shot of my traffic stats for Jan 08 to mid February :
Here is my traffic broken down by region. (I bet your mouth is watering if you promote CPA offers targeted for the USA)

SHOW ME THE MONEY |
Ok folks, now its time to see what I managed to earn with this high traffic in a market with a miserable adsense payout. Note, I have also recently set-up my system on 2 domains in markets with average adsense payouts of $0.35 per click. Im already seeing some sweet daily earnings and even some affiliate sales. I will be keeping you posted on how each domain is doing on Happar blog.
As I said, my EPC was rubbish but It still manages to bring an average of $30 per day.
My CTR (Click Through Rate) is 7%.
Oh, and I also made $420 from 14 click bank sales from a simple affiliate banner on M.E site.
Even with the miserable $0.03 payout , this domain is still earning me over $1000 bucks per month. Enough to pay for my monthly instalments on car loan and plenty of Guinness on the weekends, Not bad for a few hours work. Can you imagine what this would do when it gains momentum in a competitive cash rich market? $$$
Im getting almost 10,000 daily impressions and as of today Feb 18th 2008, this domain now has 36,000 pages indexed in Google. What excites me most is the traffic building capabilities that happar M.E quickly proved to me. It makes my head spin when I think of the ways I can use this tool as a Monetization Engine and traffic building tool.
To Paul and all the Happar team, Thanks guys for creating such an awesome system and Im so grateful you let me test drive it. As a thank you and a way of giving back, I will be on happarlog and document each step I take in building, promoting and using Happar M.E to rake in rankings and cash.
Here is to yours and your subscribers success.
