Ok guys, firstly, I want to appolige for posting such a late update….I’m not sure how many people are actually going to be reading this anymore…lol.
You probably all thought I disappeared or something, well I was still here in the background but it was just laziness that got the better of me.
Amongst all this chaos, I thought I’d take a bit of a break from everything. I went on holiday for 2 weeks to ermmmm, well lets just say a ‘different’ environment than I’m used to with no internet access, no laptop, not even clean drinking water so yea it was a little difficult to say the least.
Anyway, while I was out there, I wanted to make sure that all my sites were taking care of themselves since I would have NO access to anything. Guess what happened 24 hours I went away? Yup, you guessed it, according to ‘Sods Law’ all 3 of my hosting companies over a period of a few days had issues which in turn meant that pretty much all my sites were suspended. That was about 70 odd sites, including this site as well!
I think I have learn many mistakes as well as many positive things in the last 18 months. Its now time to ‘notch’ up a gear and really make things happen. Just an overview on the areas I will be concentrating on;
Authority Site Building – 800lb Gorillas
I’ve been working on an authority site for the last few weeks on a project that Ive had since Decemeber 2008. My aim is to build this up to become a powerful site that can make money on its own. Initially the target is a very modest £3-5 per day and then onto double figures within a matter of months. It can average anywhere from between a few pennies to several ££££s per day but it is inconsistent. I will be making a separate post on this project shortly.
Thin Sites – Casting out the net to catch the fishes
I have a shedload of domain names that I purchased prior to my XFactor niche site building endeavours. In addition to big authority sites, I want to still test the waters and see if the domains are worthwhile developing. Some of my time will be dedicated to creating 1 page sites with about 1,500+ words.
Hi All,
Just wanted to say Happy New Year to everyone and wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been reading my journey.
Lets make 2011 our most successful and best year.
To your sucess!
Zaheer!
From my previous posts, you’ll all by now know how badly Mayday hit me. It was like being punched in the face by Mike Tyson consistently for 12 rounds. Fortunately, I’m made of much sterner stuff and won’t be knocked down!
I’ve now decided that it’s time to consolidate the number of sites that Im working on. I havent counted but I know I have about 50 or so sites that I’m working on which have some kind of content. I own about 300 domains but most of these I just havent got time to build.
So, yesterday I went through the whole list and consolidated this down to 25 sites that I will build into authority sites. The aim is to develop each site into 50 x 500 articles of quality and useful content and take it from there. Most sites have between 5-20 pages so just need to up-scale this evenly. Over the next few days I’ll be creating some article briefs and sending these out to my writers. With each article brief also comes an article with 3 rewrites for UAW so backlinks can trickle in.
Once these come back then each website article will contain 2 relevant images and a video from YouTube as well as an internal link to relevant pages (if the content uses relevant terms). This will then be drip-fed out at a rate of 1 article per week. Since they are hosted on a WordPress platform, this task can be automated.
Now lets see what happens!
Maybe once these are all up and running it may be time to use backlink Phillipines as Sara has been mentioning! Hmmmmm
Thoughts????
It’s been one of those days today!
One of the twins has a fever so I didn’t sleep all night, when I did eventually drop off, it was 8am! Nearly 24 hours of being awake!
Anyway, I managed to catch a few hours sleep and when I did eventually wake up at 12.30pm, I was shocked to see one of my other hosting accounts was suspended. This was NOT good. A have a fair few UK based sites on here so half the day’s traffic had already gone.
I did manage to get my account resintated, the reason was an unpaid invoice, the problem was that the emails had gone into my junk folder so probably why it was missed!
On top of that, the day before yesterday’s AdSense earnings were probably the best Ive had for a while, in fact a few weeks. The main earner was one of my personal hobby sites which does bring in some steady traffic but the CPC is incredibly low! What happened yesterday was that I had only a few clicks but the CPC seemed to have gone through the roof, this site alone made me just over £4 which was fantastic.
