Last I posted I was driving traffic to my newly set up cooking games site.  That was almost a week ago, and a lot has happened since then.

I turned off my Google Adsense ad today after my budget ran out.  Below is the continuation of the results.

Day 4:  Adwords sent   71 clicks (still a $5.00 / day budget) to http://www.games.cheesymeat.com Of those page hits I got one (1) AdSense click for a daily total of $0.82.  I received 4 referrals to Big Fish Games, but no sales.  So another losing day.

Day 5:  I reduced my budget to $2.00 per day and lowered my bids on all of my keywords.  My budget went down by more than half, but I still got 40 clicks to my site with a better CTR.  My Adsense received 1 click for $0.20 (WOOHOO!!)  Big fish got 2 more referrals.

Day 6:  I added a second ad variant to see if I could improve the already good CTR.  I also bumped the budget back to $5.00 after tweaking my keywords a bit.  results?  A total of 80 clicks, split pretty evenly between the 2 ads.  From Adsense, 5 clicks, $1.33.  1 more big fish referral.

Day 7:  Same campaign as above, 2 ads got 42 clicks each, total of 82.  AdSense totaled up at 9 clicks and $3.97.  My best day yet, but still not enough to recuperate what I am paying for advertising.

Day 8:  I drastically altered my campaign, I hacked out any keywords that weren’t performing and once again adjusted my bids.  I lowered my budget back to $2.00.  only 18 clicks today but a very nice CTR (my best yet).  AdSense got 1 click $.24 (ouch!)

Day 9: Final day of experiment.  Budget back to $5.00 (although I only let it run up to about $4.00) 37 clicks, At Adsense, 3 clicks for $1.55.

Sum it up:  This has been an extremely educational experiment.  Definitely not immediately profitable for me, but has potential for paying customers later at Big Fish.  Total cost of AdWords campaign was $42.67.  Remember I was given this from Signing up with StartLogic.  So I really made $11.21 from AdSense, but if I had paid for the advertising I LOST. Not really what we are after here.  On a side note according to Google analytics, my site saw over 500 unique visitors in these 9 days, with a bounce rate of 39%.  I am pleased with these numbers if nothing else.

See you soon with my next experiment, which is already in the works………

This post is going to bring the story up to date.  So I put up some domains like www.financialflattery.com strictly hoping for ad revenue.  To date I have 14 of my domains with different themes hosted.  As of today December, 14 2008.  About 2 weeks into my venture I have made exactly$.11.  Yep that’s right eleven cents.  This is the reason I started really brainstorming and hitting the research.  I guess it won’t be quite as easy as I originally thought.  On top of this, after alot of work, I see Google released Ad Sense for Domains.  Basically a domain parking setup similar to Sedo.  Is it any better I doubt it, but maybe will atleast list it in their search engine since they are taking a cut of the revenue.  I parked 2 of my domains with Google just to check it out.  Over 5 days I have had 6 views no clicks on theses 2 domains.  If you want to see what the Google pages look like, click here.  www.turbocobalt.com

So I have a few ideas I will be trying .

1. Keyword selection.  My existing sites are very broad.  Like www.cheesymeat.com is about cooking, any and all types of cooking.  I really need to break these things down into a niche.  I need to take one of my keywords and expand from there to get better rankings and a specialized crowd.  I should limit it to say Baking chocolate cakes. Then my keywords will be related to that.  Much less broad.
2. Content.  I don’t think the blog and news search results on my sites are unique enough content to get caught by Google, or yahoo.  I have looked at some of the content article generating software packages like Instant Article Wizard, or a program like Simply PLR.  HyperVRE is another program that caught my eye.  They offer a free and paid service, and seems like the real deal.  I signed up for the free service but haven’t done anything with it yet.  Here is a Case Study E-Book (right click – save as) about a guy who made piles of cash with this program.  Hopefully by next week I can talk more in depth about it.   There are alot of these out there.  Before I spend any more money I want to make some.  So for now I will be researching my content articles and writing them myself.
3. Search engine submission.  I don’t think submissions really work.  So I need back links to my site.  Back links are basically links to my site from other sites.  I am currently unsure how I am going to attack this.  I have a link from every site to my generic link page on a different site www.autoilluminate.com/list This just creates a there and back link.  I don’t think this is enough to make a difference.

I am sure there is much more, but this is where I am going to start.  My current goal.  No more money going out until there is money coming in.  How much, well anything above the .11 in 2 weeks I have so far is good.  My first goal as of today is $1.00 a day from Ad Sense.  We will consider the others bonus.

Next – I will optimize one of my domains to the above guidelines.

I did a lot of research on Monday, and had to take last night off to think about it all.  Before we get into all of that let me finish my story to get caught up to today.  Last I posted I got signed up at several affiliate sites, I had a site script I wanted to use and was ready to go.

I started posting up sites.  I didn’t really like the default layout of the DomainZaar software.  I have some php skills so I went to work modifying it to my liking.  I do like this script package because it creates links and searches based on keywords.  The search engines should see this one active page having a large number of links to other pages, and some content.  Those pages don’t really exist, but when the links are clicked, the index.php  is refreshed with the new keyword.  I am no master of Search engine optimization ( SEO ), but this site shouldn’t get immediately overlooked by Google.  There is also a news and blog search which returns some content for the page.

I am probably doing a terrible job describing this so just have a look.

www.cheesymeat.com and www.300kmph.com are 2 examples.

As you can see I have Google ads inserted, and I also have a area where I put ads I choose from Click Bank or Commission Junction.

At first this seemed like a good way to go, today I am not so sure.  More on that later.  As I mentioned before I have around 40 domains I wanted to setup.  When I had around 12 of them done, I accidentally overwrote some key files that I hadn’t backed up recently.  It never fails, I can screw up just about anything.  So I had to basically start over at the first site.  Note: BACKUP EVERYTHING AND OFTEN.

As of today I have 14 sites hosted this way.  Before I go any further, I wanted to do more research and thinking to determine if this was the most effective use of time and for returns.

Next — the incoming cash flow

I keep asking myself this same thing.  Now what do I do?  I have been in this game for all of 2 weeks so far, and can’t learn and read fast enough.  Well below I will document the continuation of my quest..

So I want to be an affilliate marketer.  Last time I told you I purchased some php scripts for content generation, set up a host at StartLogic.com, and was ready to get started. My next step was to start pointing my domain names in the right direction.  I own 45 domains in total.  A couple are dedicated to my other business startup, and some are just for personal / family use.  While I was at GoDaddy.com I went ahead and bought a few more names.  I have a pretty specific niche of names, and wanted to open my self up to a few more areas of the internet.  I mentioned in an earlier blog I am a repeat customer if service is good.  GoDaddy‘s names might cost a bit more than the cheapest places on the web, but the management utilities and other features are top notch.  I went ahead and pointed the name servers of the sites I wanted to utilize to StartLogic.

Now I have my domains, my hosting and some php scripts.  I began playing with the DomainZaar script package, initially I was impressed and happy with the default layout.  This package comes with Ad Sense ready to go, but seemed to be missing something.  I began tweaking the layout to suit my needs.  I added another ad, expanded a search box, added Google Ads for search, and just generally moved things around.  I prefer the way it looks now, but the real question is is the ad placement good?  I have no idea, that is on my list of things to research.

Next time – I need more ads…….
