It has been a while since I have posted. I haven’t given up the affiliate challenge. I am still working on a few different things. One of my original goals was to bring my AdSense earnings to $1 per day. For the month of February I averaged $0.40 per day. I had quite a few days over $1, but just as many at $0. Most of my traffic has come from Google Organically. My sites have really just started getting indexed this month, so hopefully things pick up. One thing I have not worked on is link exchanging. I have read many a SEO tips that say this is the key. At first I wasn’t keen on the idea of emailing a bunch of sites to see if they wanted to share links, but at this point it can’t hurt. That will be one of my goals this coming month.
As most already know content is king. Unique content is the king of kings. I decided I should start some legit unique content sites, (beside this one) to see what can come of it. I have expanded my Cheesy Meat Games site, to be a full cooking site. It includes a blog, an amazon affiliate store, the big fish games site, and a recipe management section powered by OpenEats. The blog has been useful for generating traffic, as well as being able to feature product from my everyday life linked through the amazon affiliate.
I have also started Bad Luck Blog. This blog is open for anyone to post a story about how crappy their day was, or to complain about whatever is on their chest. The idea is to get unique content through a community of people. This site is only a few days old now, and needs some work still, and will need a lot of promotion. If this takes off I will need to look into a better way to keep the spam and garbage at bay beside manual review.
My next post will be on an affiliate software package I recently tried out …
Stay tuned for results.
