Well today was kind of a ruined day for me. I had some drama with my ex over my son’s birthday plans for this evening where basically we were fighting over who was going to have him. Anyways, that drama got me pretty upset and worked up for a few hours and I couldn’t even focus on trying to get my morning tasks done. …click here to read more

I discovered SEO Tools’ Firefox Rank Checker plug-in Friday night and decided to have it do its first schedule rank check on Saturday morning at 11 am. 11:15 am I decide to search for something in Google and immediate see my IP was banned by Google. Damn! Even with a delay setting of 18 seconds between queries it still was enough to trigger to Google that I was automating something. Pfft! I was banned for about 2 hours, enough time to get me frustrated enough to not want to work on anything for my business. Back to good old fashion rank checking without any fancy software or plug-ins. …click here to read more
As I have mentioned previously, Terry Kyle loves forum profiles for strong back linking because you can submit anchored keywords to high PR sites for free. This has proven to be a powerful method and should be a part of every internet marketer’s back link strategy.
There are some problems with forum profile linking: …click here to read more
Guess who broke her adsense record? Me me me!!!! I am sooooo excited. Yesterday I hit $31.86. My highest adsense to date was $30.18 back in January. That was just a freak of nature day too because all the days before and after that were pretty darn low. Like maybe $10 days. I am definitely seeing my adsense increasing by a few dollars every day. …click here to read more
I opened up a whole Pandora’s box by getting Daniel Tan’s WSO. It really is a powerful way to get thousands of back links quickly to your website. The downside is, outsourcing this to get done is a REAL pain in the butt. You would be surprised how many people on oDesk had no idea what the heck an anchored text link or a text link is or how to write one using HTML. I’m not talking about the non-internet people. I am talking about the people that swear they do Social Bookmarking and blog posting. Like seriously, they have no clue what a text link is!! It’s quite astonishing and also very annoying. Of the 3 people I am testing out for this WSO, only 1 of them was able to …click here to read more
Today I find myself totally confused as to what to make my game plan for the next 2 weeks. I am sitting at 86 xfactor sites and I have to build only 15 more for this week. Then I will be sitting at 101 sites. I am asking myself …click here to read more
4 weeks eep! I have about 8 more weeks until my goal of hitting $50 a day. My adsense earnings seem to be hitting a more consistent range. All through the month of february my daily adsense earnings have been anywhere from $9.24-$21.64. The past 4 days I have consistently earned a minimum amount of $17.41. I also had 2 days of hitting over $20.00. I earned $20.47 on Monday and $23.85 yesterday. So I would say that my xfactor sites have moved from earning me …click here to read more
Since my post yesterday about my new adventure with building 1 page sites, I started to get second thoughts about this practice.
I try to stay away from the warrior forum during the day so I can concentrate on my tasks for the day but at the end of the day, I like to pop into the Adsense/PPC forum discussions. An old thread had reappeared and what I was reading started to scare the crap out of me. …click here to read more
Things are about to get really interesting in regards to how I am cranking out sites and how I am actually building them. Since day one of starting my xfactor building empire, I have built my sites just John talked about in his book. I recently joined John’s private forum and I have been more and more interested in Clickbump’s tweak on xfactor sites. I have probably read Scott’s thread a million times and even though it all sounded good, I just didn’t want to take a chance with building 1 page sites that …click here to read more
Whew! Three weeks under my belt, 42 sites built and $1,400.00 charged to my credit card later. Ouch! I got my first credit card bill from when I started outsourcing, buying 14+ domains a week and my UAW and Traffic Kahuna Memberships 4 weeks ago. That is pretty hefty, especially after recently reading about how some college kid is only paying $400.00 a month to outsource his back links, content and registering 31 domains a week. Of course he only buys .info domains for his xfactor sites and he can easily rank in #1 or #2 on page one after he sends a bunch of back links to his domains. …click here to read more
Here we are at wednesday night already. I cannot believe how fast this month is going by.
This week I was able to build 8 xfactor sites so far. Not bad. I am still struggling the most with trying to back link my pages. My organization and method right now is not working out too well since I often am getting my articles spun days after I already built the site, so then I must return back to a site that is 3-4 days old and then back link. For example, let’s say I built a site today (Wednesday) but I receive my spun articles to back link for this same website a few days later (Friday). On Friday, when I find some free time after building my sites for that day, I will have to then go back and back link the sites I built on Wednesday. I just simply do not feel as though I have enough hours in the day. …click here to read more
Today marks week 3 of my grueling 12 week goal of building 14 sites a week. Unfortunately I failed at building 14 sites this week. It started off with last Sunday, I was unable to build my 2 sites because one of my writers did not turn in her articles on time. Then on Friday, I was preparing for a night of a Speed Dating session so most of my day was spent running around putting together the perfect outfit. I didn’t get anything accomplished on Friday other than communicating with and paying my writers. So I tried to make up for some lost time on Saturday, by building 3 sites instead of my two for the day. So basically for week 2, I only built 11 sites. …click here to read more
I cannot believe how quick the days go by. It still amazes me how I simply do not have enough hours in the day to get everything done that I need to.
Here I thought I would be saving a tremendous time by hiring writers and rewriters. As I mentioned in the comments of my last post, I have now even hired someone to do back linking for me. I wish I could hire someone to submit my initial articles for back linking my freshly built xfactor sites. It doesn’t seem like it should be taking me so much time to do so but I seriously have little or no time to do this.

Today; Saturday marks exactly 1 week of building 2 xfactor micro niche sites a day. I cannot believe I did it. I set a goal for this week and I was able to keep up with it! The first few days were rough since I wasn’t down with my tasks for the day until almost 1 am every day. I improved my work load each day by building my sites first thing in the morning. Today I spent from 9:00 am until 2:30 building my 2 xfactor sites, uploading the last few pages for sites I built yesterday, social marked my new sites with BMD, RSS submitted to directories, pinged new sites and new pages created and lastly, got 5 UAW submissions set up and are awaiting approval. Its probably been my most productive day this week and yet I finished hours before my usual time. I guess a huge part of the reason why I finished early today was the pure fact that today didn’t have anything to do with my outsourcers. I didn’t have to answer emails, or proof read submitted articles to me etc. …click here to read more
It’s Wednesday night and I have been quite proud of myself the past several days. I have kept to my goal of building 2 sites a day consistently since last Saturday. So I have built 10 sites in the past 5 days. I have been ending my days at around 6pm the past few nights. So Usually from 4-6pm I am cranking out the 2 websites. Even with ending my day at 6pm; somehow those last 2 hours just kill me. I feel physically and mentally exhausted at the end of the day. If anyone dare says that internet marketers are lazy even the ones that outsource; they don’t know what the heck they are talking about. There is still alot of the behind the scenes work to be done as an internet marketer. Keyword research is usually the bulk of my day. Anyhow, normally I start off my day with keyword research, communication with my outsourcers and getting their next assignments ready then my daily goal of building my sites. …click here to read more
Whew! I am already beat and today is Monday; the start of a new work week. I have truly been a busy bee. I am sure Mike will be thoroughly proud of my effort this week and especially that fact that I worked both Saturday and Sunday; which I usually do not work weekends.
Here is what I was busy doing this past week:

Last Sunday (and even until this morning) I was placing job positions …click here to read more
My days are really narrowing down until when I need to be achieving a full time income. Although I would say I am steadily earning $20 a day from my xfactor sites, I need to push it to at least $50 a day by April.

Ok, I see that my last post was made on January 7, 2010. So Basically I have not updated in two weeks. You probably thought I was a busy bee and throwing up new xfactor sites all over the place. WRONG! I was neither building websites or back linking them. I have been getting familiar with Link Dozer and today; two weeks of owning it, I finally got my first campaign actually processed. …click here to read more
I casually logged into my adsense account this morning to check what I ended up earning yesterday. The last I had checked, I was up to about $12.00. Well, I hit a new high of $30.18. I am so excited! This was a major spike so the only thing I can think of is that some rankings on some newer sites improved. Unfortunately I can only guess because I somehow managed to not track the channels with adsense. Doh! I know! I won’t be making that mistake anymore and for now on I will be setting up my channels immediately after creating my code to be placed on the site. …click here to read more
So how many of you were like me and pretty much unproductive the past 2 weeks? I did a little bookmarking here and there and that was about it. I gave my odesk writers the past 2 weeks off and let them know I wasn’t planning on using them the week of Christmas and New Year’s since I wasn’t going to be very active. They were most understanding and I think relieved as they expressed how busy they were with the Holidays as well. They sent me nice heartfelt emails and e-cards wishing me a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year’s. …click here to read more
Since my last post I have managed to build 5 new xfactor adsense sites, so I think that brings me to 13 sites that fit Mike’s 2900+ monthly searches suggestion. I basically built these last 5 sites over the past 9 days and only one of them is indexed right now.
Now why did I only manage to build 5 sites in the past few weeks? The honest truth is I just got completely burned out. With the holidays coming up, I was a bit more limited as to how much I could outsource. This left me with basically having to write my own articles used for ezine and goarticle submissions. This process became mind numbing and I would only manage to write 3-4 articles a day and feel as though that was all I was mentally capable of producing. So I basically took an entire week off in which I did nothing except running bookmarking demon on my newer sites at the time and I did a few runs of Comment Kahuna. …click here to read more
I’ve been building xfactor sites for almost 2 months now and I am stuck at the $5 day earning rut. With 22 sites this has not only been bothering me but it has also been bugging Mike. So the other night Mike asked if he could take a look at some of my sites to evaluate their rankings, competition and monthly searches etc. After he took a look at some of my sites and asked me some more questions like: how many sites receive 2900+ monthly searches? how many sites are on page?; he had guessed that I maybe only had about 10 xfactor sites that fit the criteria necessary to rank properly. …click here to read more
Morning everyone! I am feeling quite optimistic this week. Maybe it has to do with my vision board I posted above my desk or maybe it just has to do with the fact that I am seeing some adsense progress at a steady climb.
The Vision Board
First I present to you my vision board. No laughing guys! I want these things and they will happen for me. 
The vision board was introduced …click here to read more
I have been building xfactor sites outlined in John’s ebook; Micro Niche Adsense Course for just a little over a month now. I now have 20 sites up. Obviously I have made some mistakes and posted them on a previous blog post, Learning From Mistakes On Building Xfactor Sites during my first month’s effort. If you have just begun building xfactor sites, I recommend you read that post first so you can avoid some of the mistakes I have made.
Yesterday I got caught up on reading Internetmarketer99’s thread in which he has so kindly laid out his method of building mini niche sites. As I was reading it, I was getting more and more tempted to try using wordpress blogs for this month’s xfactor sites. I mean everything just seemed too enticing. …click here to read more
