Traffic

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

As you can see from the image, traffic is slowly picking up (this is search engine traffic only). I have to admit I have been lazy about the link building because I didn’t quite decide if I should keep working with this niche or dump it. I think I will increase my link building efforts before I make a decission.

Weebly and ezinearticles

Friday, May 1st, 2009

Built the weebly site, social bookmarked it. Have submitted an article to ezinearticles and waiting for approval. Going to cook some food now, then build some links and watch some more of the 30dc videos.

Hubpage

Friday, May 1st, 2009

I went to the theatre last evening instead of working on my site as I had planned.
Today I have built the hubpage for my new phrase. Social bookmarked it and done some link building.
Tomorrow I will build the weebly page.. I think I could be more productive working in another niche, but I will stick to this niche. Possibly also the ezine article if I can manage to be a bit more productive than I have been today…

New phrase

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

I started working on my new phrase yesterday.
Wrote a new post for my blog with the new phrase and social bookmarked it.

My other phrases has dropped after posting the new phrase, will see if they get back.
Main phrase: 12, singular: 21 sub phrase: 7
New phrase: 28

Just built a squidoo lens and social bookmarked it.

Day 26

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

Day 26 is about getting some income from putting ads on the blog if we decide not to proceed with the niche. Not something I want to do at this point…

Day 25: To be or not to be

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

Main phrase: ranked number 10.  Singular of main phrase: ranked number 22. Sub phrase: Ranked number 8.
From my estimations I should be getting about 35 visitors a day if listed at number 9-10 for those phrases assuming I will get 2% of the searchers clicking through to my site. My current listings should give 10 unique visitor a day, for the past 4 days my average is 13 pr day from search engines. So I think it is too early to dump this niche. I either need to increase my current rankings or try another phrase with less competition.

When it comes to sales I sent 150 clicks and made 2 sales, however it was not the product I was trying to sell.. and I made a whopping0.88$. So I will be replacing my affiliate offer with something else..

Day 24

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

Is about how to write a killer sales letter. Will be useful later, but at this stage I just took a brief look at it..

Day 23

Sunday, April 26th, 2009

Nothing to do here, just information on an autoposting feature of wordpress direct.

My google rankings are dancing a bit up and down. I think I am going to try to target another phrase with less competition, although concidering the amount of work I did to get to the current rankings I think it should be possible to get better rankings.

Day 20 - Day 22

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

Day 20 - day 22 is all about PPC advertising. I don’t want to do PPC when I don’t have a clue how to convert traffic. I think I’d be wasting my money sending PPC traffic at this point, so I just want to work on improving my rankings.

Singular: Number 9
Plural: Number 8
Sub phrase with SEOT of 60: Number 8
