Module 1 The Challenge Notes – #tc10
OK, just finished getting caught up with this year’s Challenge and am very excited to take things to the next stage of the program. Here are my quick notes from module one. There was a lot of good stuff, but these are the things that really stuck out for me.
Market Samurai Settings
There is a lot of settings in Market Samurai. Here’s what the recommended filters are:
- SEOT of 80
- PBR of 15
- SEOC of 30000
Types of Searches
- Broad Match – For gauging long term traffic/competition potential.
- Phrase Match – For gauging mid-term traffic/competition potential.
- Exact Match – For gauging short-term traffic/competition potential.
Now I did go into the training knowing the types of searches, but I never thought of them in the way they explained it in the videos. Good stuff.
SEO Competition
Settings should be:
- PR
- BLP
- YAH
- Title
- URL
Again, the point of this is to get at least one row of all greens. This means you have a competitor that should be easy to knock out of the top 10 in google.
Anyway, hope this post was helpful. It’s mainly a point of reference as I always forget the proper settings.

How are you getting on with the challenge now that we’re three modules in?
I’m really enjoying it – loving the posterous co-ordinated link wheel.

Took a little break for mountain vacation. Much needed, but getting back into things now. I’m a week behind, but going to hit it hard this week.
I bought 10 domains before I left, so i have a lot of work ahead.

Fair play, you will have a bit of work ahead of you doing 10 sites at once.
Still, when you boil down the actual things you need to do for each site, it isn’t that much I guess, and you only really need to set up the posterous network once for each niche rather than for every site.
Hmm, I need to build more sites!
