For what it's worth; the main component of your success I can't figure out how to replicate is ranking for your keyword.

From my perspective your business model seems to be:

  1. Pick a niche and figure out keywords for that niche.
  2. Perform the Magic SEO Incantation to rank high in Google.
  3. Sell well to the visitors that gets you.

I can do 1 and 3 fairly well; partially based on your talks/information. Number 2 still seems like sheer black magic to me though...

This is rather different for Bingo Card Creator and Appointment Reminder. For BCC, see the numerous articles on my www.kalzumeus.com/greatest-hits/ page about content creation/SEO. It's fairly straightforward -- nobody else on the Internet wants to rank for [owls of east asia bingo cards], I do, I win by default.

For AR, the entirety of the magic incantation is a) getting a small handful of links to it and b) exact match domain name for [appointment reminder]. I'm literally embarrassed that this is the only thing I've done. I mean, I knew it would work, and it did work, but I have always felt like I should be doing substantially more and more complicated marketing.
