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

Day 19

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

No tasks to complete in day 19. Just information on getting paid traffic from PPC vs SEO. I am going out for dinner and shopping now. Will be watching the videos on PPC advertising in the evening and then decide what to do next.

Day 18

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

I am not getting much traffic, but I guess that is because I am ranked on the second page.
When checking the market samurai keyword data again, I am wondering if I have screwd up when picking the phrase or if they have changed since I picked my phrase. It has now way more than 30 000 competing sites, so I am wondering if I should try targeting another phrase or just keep building backlinks and see if I can rank higher.

Day 16 and 17

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

I have written an article and submitted it to ezine articles. It is now waiting for approval and when it is approved I will social bookmark it. Posted two comments on squidoo.

My rankings I already checked yesterday, but it has changed now.. I am number 19 for the plural and number 16 for singular…

Day 15

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

I know I said I would work on the challenge yesterday, but the weather was really nice so I decided to go into the city for dinner and look around in the shops a bit.

Today I have built a weebly page and social bookmarked it. I have done some commenting to get linkbacks to my site..

After updating my blog, my new post appeared as listing 17 in google for the plural of my phrase and my index page dropped down to 32. For the singular of my phrase I am listed at number 15. It should be possible for me to make it to the top… We’ll see how the challenge progresses..
