Sorry I've been slacking on my posts and all. I've been busy and I want to update you. And soon I'll have a post on Adsense like I promised. For now though I want to talk about the progress of my ANTM blog. In January the google search volume for keyword "America's Next Top Model" got over a million queries. If you search google for "America's Next Top Model" there are over 10 million sites.
I began working on my site not even a month ago. I haven't invested as much time into it as I wanted to. I'm not making a lot of money from it (around 30 adsense dollars from the past month). I'm not getting a ton of traffic (about 70-100 unique hits a day - most from google traffic).
But the big news is I just checked - if you search keyword "America's Next Top Model" my site is #72. That's right. Out of 10 million sites, mine is 72. And I'll tell you the truth - it's poorly written, ugly as hell and it exists for the soul purpose of making money.
I'm young. I don't know anything about the internet. I'm in complete shock that this crappy site I made is #72 out of 10 million. Holy cow.
Now here's an experiment I'm going to perform. Everyday for the next 30 days I'm going to get one backlink for the site and write one article for it on goarticles. (at least I'll try to!). At the end of 30 days I want to see if traffic has imporved, if adsense earnings have improved, and where it ranks in the SERPS.
In other news, I decided I hat ezine articles and won't use it anymore. I also started another new blog which has yet to be indexed (its only been a few hours!)
I think I'm getting the hang of this and starting to realize how much work is going to go into it. It's going to take probably about a year to be able to sit back and just let the dough roll in, so until then I'll have to devote some time to it. Luckily enough I'm young enough that my parents health insurance still covers me and my only responsibility is paying my rent and my taxes.
I strongly recommend you check out Grizzly's Make Money Online which is responsible for any success I've had. His site has basically been my bible for the past few weeks and will continue to be.
Wow, can you believe it? 72 out of 10 million. I just had to post it.
Thanks for reading my make money online for beginners blog!

ReplyDeleteHey,
ReplyDeleteGreat Job!
I just started my 1st blog last week and I made 2 more today. I hope I have as good of a start as you.
I just bot 30 very high PR 4-8 backlinks, when I get those installed and start gaining some PR for my own sites I will check back with you to trade links.
Keep it up
BK
