I have been busy the past few days working on a new method by Don and Jeremy. The method seemed too good to be true. The system is definitely doable. And having access to the forum helped instill the confidence in the system. There were several reports of people making $100 plus a day. After my first run with following the step-by-step procedures, I have not made a dime. I’m not giving up on the system. In fact, I have a few new campaigns that are upcoming. And that I hope will be successful.

At this point, I am completely burnt out of niche blogging and I have to be really careful with my remaining funds, which are holding me back from just building a bunch of sniper sites. So at this moment I am investing funds in Don and Jeremy’s system.

One of my very first niche blogs was created back in November. I had fallen in love with this niche. It was fun for me to research and write posts for. The problem was, it just wasn’t monetized right. It didn’t start getting adsense clicks until about a month after having adsense placed on it and even then, I was lucky it it could pull $0.10-0.25 a day. I think around January it finally hit $20.00 for the monthly total and has pretty much stuck to $20 a month since. I noticed the past few days it was making about $2.00 a day and then yesterday it made a whopping $4.91. I was completely shocked so I decided to check up on its position to see why the increase. To my surprise it had taken the #2 position on page 1 for the keyword. It had been #4-5 since January. That #2 spot has made the huge difference in my adsense earnings for it.

The past few days have been so exciting for me. I am hoping to report back in sometime next monday with some exciting earning news. Stay tuned because it is top secret!

I also posted and hired my first Odesk job. I really hope things go smoothly with it. You can find some really amazing deals on there.

Meanwhile, I am working on getting my things together and packed for a family trip to Yosimite! I celebrated my 33rd birthday on the 24th and

I signed up for a free 7 day course called 7 Deadly SEO Mistakes 2 days ago. This is a fantastic free offer and I am not just saying that. As you can tell I do not have an affiliate id linked in this post. I do not get any credit for recommending this 7 day course. I just think you can benefit from it as much as I am so far. That is my intent and honest truth.

What really surprised me was the day 2 lesson, which I received this morning. In 20 minutes, I learned I have been setting up my text links COMPLETELY wrong on my front page for SEO purposes and I also now know what text links I should be displaying in my sidebar and how many words the maximum links should be.

Oh yea, the anchored text issue…I know there has been much debate over using “click here” and the like; and after watching today’s lesson, I will also be modifying my usage.

Today’s goal is to go over some of my blogs and modify some home page structure changes.

My wrist has been absolutely killing me the past few days. I broke down and decided to buy Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 after watching this amazing youtube video today.

This software looks amazing and really can save your wrist and hands from injury due to improper form.

So I went hunting for it today. Out of Walmart, Best Buy and COMP USA, none of them had Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred 10 with the USB head set. So I hopped onto Amazon and found it for $199.99. I did see it was cheaper online but most do not include the blue tooth headset. I am not a fan of headsets at the computer so I wanted one that wouldn’t feel awkward. Blue tooth doesn’t seem to bother me. I am so excited and can’t wait for it to arrive. It is going to save me hours for writing content and most importantly, going to save my wrist. I’m wearing my wrist brace right now and I hate it. Gonna get off the computer now and veg out. I’ll let you know how I think DNS is when it arrives!

Integrating a product data feed into your wordpress blog or website is an absolute pain. Usually you would have to copy and paste the code into an excel spreed sheet followed by hours of deleting some of the feed information you do not need or want displayed.

There are wordpress plugins that also integrate the product feed of some affiliate networks but often they aren’t free and can cost anywhere between $50-$100.00. And the few free ones that are available are only good for a few networks and are missing some of the bigger affiliate networks.

It was by pure accident that I stumbled across GoldenCAN but I am sure glad I did. I signed up for my free account and have gone crazy with adding more and new  products to my niche sites.

It’s  a great way to always have fresh products with up to date prices on your site.

Here is a how to video I have worked on the past 2 days. Enjoy!

Create An Affiliate Store In Minutes: Part 2 from noteworthytips on Vimeo.

I am completely addicted to Bob The Teacher’s IM Success Radio. Usually I listen to music while I blog during the day but late last night I stumbled upon a post made by Lynn Terry on her blog clicknewz.com and she had posted a recent radio interview with Bob the Teacher.

There is just something most inspiring about hearing the voice of success. You can tell there is no fluff and no BS. Just pure fact and hard work!

Today I listened to Internet Marketing Money Mastery Donna Fox, Affiliate Marketing With Willie Crawford, Using Social Media In Your Internet Marketing With Scott Tousignant and my favorite; Create A Full Time Income With Affiliate Marketing With Lynn Terry.

Lynn never seems to under deliver. Each time I hear her speak she has new insights on affiliate marketing. I adore her business model in that she actually doesn’t promote many digital downloads on her niche sites, instead she prefers actual products. I feel I also do better with physical products and that is my main desire when it comes to affiliate marketing. Me and Clickbank just don’t seem to do very well. So far I have had greater success with physical products.

Listening to all of these successful marketers encouraged me to keep pushing forward, to not give up on my dreams even if they may seem so unreachable and most importantly, they gave me some new ideas. Instead of the old “ya learn something new everyday” I can honestly say I learned about 20 new things today.

Do yourself a favor and go feed your mind and your soul some good “juice” today by checking out IM Success Radio.

Any website owner wants to know exactly what their visitors are doing when they visit their site. We would love to know what text links they click on or don’t, if they clicked on a banner, what words they use in our search boxes and to see if our ad placement is good by how they scroll on our site.

Well now you can watch a live recording of your visitor’s session first hand with Clixpy. The recording will show their every move of the mouse and every click. Wanna know if a new banner placement is working? Just watch a visitor session. Questioning if the text at the bottom of your post gets clicked on? Watch a session!

It’s easy to install. You simply copy and paste a snippet of Javascript into your HEAD tag and that’s it.

When you sign up you get to watch 10 recorded sessions. After these initial 10, you must purchase more credits but the credit packages are very reasonably priced start at only $5.00 for 100 credits. $5.00 is chump change for the amount of vital information you will obtain from watching a session.

I just placed the code on my new CPA offer website to test and see if my “SILO” website setup is actually distracting my visitors from the offer. I’ll let you know what I find out in a few days.

As many of you know I took a CPA Bootcamp about a month ago. I had no idea about CPA when I took the bootcamp. Through the bootcamp, I learned how to get accepted to CPA networks, how to choose an offer and promote it without spending tons of money on PPC. I did post about 2 weeks later how frustrated I had become with it though because I had not made one sale yet.

Pretty much that was the point where I stopped focusing on that CPA offer and decided to go back to niche sites. So I wasn’t logging into my CPA accounts anymore. I figured why bother logging in to see a big fat month-to-date earning of  $0.00.

So yestersday I received an email from my CPA manager at Maxbounty. I admit I was nervous when I saw the email thinking maybe they would drop me because I wasn’t making any sales. But instead my manager was asking why did I stop sending traffic to a certain offer because he thought I had a decent EPC. I sat there dumbfounded for a few seconds trying to comprehend what he was saying since I had no success with this offer. So I logged into my MB account and sure enough, back in April I actually had a sale.

Thank goodness my manager stays on top of things. I really would not have known about that sale had it not been for my CPA manager reviewing my account and actually knowing that I made a sale got me all fired up to get more traffic to my site. I also changed the theme to see if a new layout would help. I wrote a few more articles yesterday on it and today I plan on writing some more articles to drive traffic faster.

When I originally made my review site, I had 3 similar offers that were all pointing to different CPA networks. Obviously the one on MB converted better so I went back and changed all 3 offers of the review to be MB offers and I made sure I was “pickier” about the offers landing pages because a bad landing page with bad sales copy isn’t going to do me much good.

I love MAXBounty because they will match other CPA networks offers. So if you are promoting an offer and the price is lowered but another network has the same offer only a higher earning for you, you can just put in a phone call to your CPA manager and see about them matching the price!

I am not kidding. I really, really, really hate writing articles. I had another late night rendezvous with the warrior forum and an offer caught my eye. It is called AMI Article Writer. It was for a software program that writes 100% unique content for you. Basically it helps you create an engaging article that your readers can’t help but read; all  in 7 minutes. If you only know very  little knowledge about the niche than it may take you as long as 20 minutes. Still not a bad deal; especially for a person like me that absolutely hates writing articles. I was about to log off and turn in for the night when I received my confirmation email with the download link.

I figured I would take the 7 minute challenge. So I fired up the software and started looking over how easy the interface was and how it was all set up to help me write a better article and faster. It’s kind of like an essay question on a test in college. The professor asks you a specific question and you must answer it the best of your ability without getting sidetracked. Well this software prevents you from getting sidetracked. It keeps your focus exactly where it should be. keeping your focus helps you write better content and it keeps your readers attention too.

FYI I am not using the software on this post and probably won’t for any blog posts on this site.

Anyhow I finished my article in just over 15 minutes. It was beautiful! 375 words long with my keyword plugged in a few times. I read it over a few times and I am surprised it came out so well. I know I will be using this software for many article writings. Especially when I can accomplish a completed article in 15 minutes. I was just telling Mike the other day on Google Talk that it took me 2 hours to write 1 article! He was shocked and told me it should never take me 2 hours for one article and that I should eventually get to the point where it only takes me 10 minutes. Well I don’t know about 10 minutes but that is totally doable….with this software! I may actually hate writing articles less now.

I have roughly 16 blogs up at this moment but I only have Adsense on 5 of them. Now between the 5 of them they only earn on average a combined total of $1.50 a day. Yikes, I know! I just read an interesting post on The Keyword Factory that has made me rethink  earning with adsense.

When I started niche blogging back in Novemeber 2008, I pretty much blew off the idea that I would earn big money with adsense, so my main focus was going to be to earn with affiliate products. After reading that post I now have reconsidered earning with Adsense.

One of my main failures for earning with adsense was the fact that I had not been targeting keyword phrases that have a high CPC. I have been too focused on only writing posts that had a at least a minimum of 1,000 searches a month that I wasn’t paying attention to making a post with a keyword phrase that had a high CPC. I can’t believe what a rookie mistake that has been. It’s pretty much a no brainer. Would you rather earn $0.03 a click or would you rather earn $1.50+ per click?

Another mistake was I had not been working at targeting my keywords too well. Sure, I used it in the title and maybe 1-2 times in my posts. According to The Keyword Academy you should only use it 2 times in a 300 word post and if your word count is 1,000+ use it 10 times.

Today’s goal

1.) Go back to some of my older blogs and insert 300×250 square ads into my posts.

2.) Write 2-3 new posts on some new blogs with keywords that have a high CPC

3.) Finish Paul’s April back links for one of my sniper sites (which has come out of the sandbox by the way)

Bonus if I can write an article for Ezine for that sniper site too!

The past 2 days I haven’t built any new Google sniper sites. I’ve decided to go back and clean up some of my sites that are majorly incomplete. When I say incomplete, I mean REALLY incomplete. Like each site has only 1-5 posts. I asked myself “what is the best method to try and get these domains up and running and trickling in some amount of money. Aha! I will make them webstores using phpBay Pro.” If you are at all familiar with BANS then perhaps you have heard the ongoing buzz about BANS dying out. Many internet marketers have found that their BANS

sites have been deindexed over the past 6 months or so. Many former BANS users have now switched over to phpBay Pro because it easily integrates with any wordpress site/blog. You can go content crazy on your niche and then sneak in eBay auctions within your posts or pages.

It is also a great way to earn off your bounce rate. Since most traffic coming in bounces if they do not instantly see what they are looking for, if you provide the relevant auctions for them on your front page you have a greater chance of having them click on the auction listings.

To see just how clean and slick a site using phpBay pro can look check out this site on discount golf balls. It’s not my site (I wish!) But it belongs to phpBay Protips.

Now, I actually purchased BayRSS a few months ago and actually when I started to clean up my dead sites a few days ago, I did install BayRSS and started to place listings on my site. I quickly got frustrated with BayRSS because it does not offer much customization. The biggest being you cannot display buy it now listings. Most people that are browsing your sites are not looking at waiting days for an auction to end to snag an item. They want it Yesterday!!!

Jtpratt posted back in March that; Azlan, the author of BayRSS seems to have skipped out on his product. He no longer supports his own products and is not responding to support requests. DO NOT go buy BayRSS.

Anyhow, I have been completely satisfied with how simple phpBay Pro is to use and I love that there is a support forum so you can actually get great advice on how to build a site using eBay listings that Google and eBay will love!

Like I said these sites were just sitting there rotting and I had no desire to queue them up with lots of posts. I prefer to write 10 relevant 100-300 word posts and call the sites complete.

I have been using Feedjit on this blog and a few of  my other “personal” blogs for a few months now. The main reason I used the widget was to see the real live traffic entering and exiting my site. It’s really all fascinating to me. Just scroll down on this site and you will see it in my sidebar.

Anyhow this morning I decided to check out my stats with Google’s webmaster tools. I was curious how certain blog posts were getting external links when I was not social bookmarking them etc.

All 18 links were from Feedjit!

So, are these really back links?

Google seems to think so. What about Yahoo?

Yep, I spotted some of the links here.

So bottom line is that if you are not using Feedjit on your blog you are missing out on free ongoing back links for next to no effort. The only effort is the one time customization of your widget. You don’t even have to register for it! Then just slap the code on your site and forget about it!

I use the javascript version. But there is also an image widget that is ideal for: Blogger, Typepad, Wordpress.com, Myspace, Live Journal and any other site that does not allow you to use javascript.

I am not sure why some posts got back links and why others have not. Maybe it only adds your feed once a week or so but still…it’s free back links!

Last night I was reading on the warrior forum about a guy that had several of his Wordpress sites hacked. I panicked a little when I read that and on impulse I ordered yet another eBook which I probably didn’t need to. Just about all the information in it could have been easily found online so I feel like it was a waste of $22.00.

Another thing is that there are so many steps to secure each site that it makes it too time consuming when it comes to updating to the latest wordpress version since you have to repeat all fo the same steps again.

So today I decided to check out some tutorials online that had the same information…only free. I did these today and installed on this blog as well as my other wordpress blogs.

Wordpress Plug-ins To help secure and protect your blog:

• WP-Spam Free Plug In - Protects your blog from comment spam without bothering your readers with CAPTCHA. Also has an easy contact form that you can set up and protect your email form unnecessary spam.
• WP Security Scan - Scans your WordPress installation for security vulnerabilities and suggests corrective actions.
• Login Lockdown - Records the IP address and timestamp of every failed login attempt. If more than a certain number of attempts are detected within a short period of time from the same IP range, then the login function is disabled for all requests from that range. This helps to prevent brute force password discovery.
• Admin SSL - Admin SSL secures login page, admin area, posts, pages - whatever you want - using Private or Shared SSL.

Other Security Tips:

• Prevent your directories from being indexed in the search engines.
  Add this line to your robots.txt file:

  Disallow: /wp-*

• Hide your plugins folder. Check to see if it is hidden ex: http://mysite.com/wp-content/plugins
  If you can see a list of all your plug ins, they are not hidden!

  Open your .htaccess file and edit it with notepad.

  add this to the file some where after the # BEGIN WordPress line :

  # Prevents directory listing
IndexIgnore *

• Hide your wp-config.php file. Since this file holds your database information you will want to hide this from public view.
  open up your .htaccess file again and add this:

  <Files wp-config.php>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

I found this great post with 18 security plugins and tips. but some of them don’t work because of my server and one just doesn’t work right (Stealth Login locked me out of my site and had to delete the folder in the plugins folder then had to delete my .htaccess file in order to reach my log in page again.)

I haven’t given up on GS#1. It’s only 1 month old and has done 4 sales (only about $10.00 commission) but I see real potential in it. I asked for a friend’s advice on my angle approach and he gave me some sound advice that I followed yesterday.

Yesterday, I didn’t get any sites up because I focused all day on using Angela’s back links and now Paul’s. Paul’s links are very similar to Angela’s, only there are no posting comments on articles/posts etc. That’s the one thing I hate the most and actually I skip those sites on Angela’s lists and only focus on the sites where I can leave anchor text links without any mod approval.

So back to my GS#1. Yea so even though it has done 4 sales (by a miracle because it is now on page who know s what. I stopped looked after page 24) I am not ready to give up on it. It hasn’t been sandboxed because it still has pages listed in google. One sign of being sandboxed is if there is only the main domain listed in google but no other pages. But I guess technically it has been Google slapped since when I first put it up it was at least in the #10 spot on page 1. Every day it has seemed to be pushed back a page. And like I said today, it is no where to be found in the first 24 pages for the main keyword phrase.

So what now? I have one more trick up my sleeve and that is to make another post. This post is going to be made strictly with the list of keywords I get from using the Ultimate Keyword Theme Extractor. It is a pricey tool (about ($97.00) but it seems to be quite effective by the looks of the one post website that was used as an example in the creator’s instructional video.

We’ll see if this post helps it. It took less than a week for the sample site to make it onto the first page in google so I am hoping for similar results.

This month I earned about $40.00 less than last month. I really think last month was a fluke since my partner site I was promoting had heavy promotional offers that were too irresistible for my readers to pass up! lol

I am still satisfied overall with my progress.

Adsense: $33.18
Google Affiliate Network: $87.98 <– my bread and butter powerhouse blog lol
Google Affiliate Network (Google Sniper Site #1): $4.37 <– this was actually 2 sales worth haha
ShareASale: $29.63 <– First sale from a 4 month old blog
Total = $155.15

Updates on Google Sniper Site Positions

GS#1: Totally fallen out of sight in search without quotes and is now in position #15 with quotes

GS#2: Moved up from #10 to #9 in search without quotes

I created 4 sniper sites this week. They were all indexed within 24 hours.

GS#3: No where to be found in search without quotes

GS#4: No where to be found in search without quotes

GS#5: No where to be found in search without quotes

GS#6: #7 without quotes (not bad for being only 3 days old)

Right now I am focusing on back linking these new sites and will start building more this next week. Maybe around Wednesday.

I also just ordered some articles from a member on The Niche Blogger forum and I will be submitting those to article directories.

Since deciding on a final plan to move forward with this month, I feel I have gotten so much done in this week alone. This what how the past 3 days have gone for me.

Monday:
- Researched a new niche for GS #3. It doesn’t quite meet the numbers George recommends. It’s a little lower than his minimum but I think it’s a good niche and I am interested in it.
- Built the GS site (Did everything but final post on it)
- Bookmarked it with a few social bookmarking sites
- Submitted it to Google’s Webmaster Tools

Tuesday:
- Took me all morning (3 hours) to research a new niche for GS #4. Dug deeper and found a really good nugget! It gets 4,600 searches a month and the competition will be easy to cream!
- Built the site and did everything but the last post
- Bookmarked it
- Submitted it to Google’s webmaster tools

Wednesday:
- Created 2 videos for youtube: 1 video for site #3 and 1 video for site #1.
- Decided to use a domain I had originally purchased last week for a CPA offer as a sniper site. I plan on promoting the CPA offer on it unless I find a better Clickbank product for it.
- Built the site except final post
- Social bookmarked it
- Submitted to google’s webmaster tools

IM Goals

My goal is to set up 20 more sniper sites by June 29th.

If I can get 20 sniper sites to each earn $100.00 per a month then that is $2,000.00 a month. That will easily replace my income by the end of the summer.

My second goal is to get 100 more sites up by Novemeber 29, 2009.
100 sites x $100.00 a month = $10,000 a month
I could potentially earn $12,000 a month in a year’s time. That is crazy!

I’m going to be building a site each week day and use fridays as my back link /article marketing days for that week’s sites.  I will then evaluate my sites once a month and see which sites need more back link love or fine tune adjustment by adding more content or sales copy adjustments.

I know I have been jumping around back and forth on my plan of attack. Browsing the warrior special offers forum is addicting. Thread after thread of enticing “make money” faster products have sucked me in.

For the past 10 days I have only focused on building my first CPA offer by the blueprint the CPA marketer’s bootcamp teaches. Although I respect Jeremy and his program and I believe he is earning income from his blueprint, I am just not convinced this might be the fastest way for me personally. It seemed easy enough to build up at first, but I just feel like it takes a long time for things to kick in. I’m sitting at 10 days and not one sale yet. Maybe it has to do with my keyword research, I’m not sure. I followed the blueprint but I just am feeling frustrated. The content and lessons seem to be slow to update so I feel like I am losing valuable time waiting around to get to the next step or to even confirm if what I am doing is right on target. I expected at least 1 sale by now. I would love nothing more than for this to bite me in the butt and suddenly i get conversions that I could brag about here and apologize for being frustrated with. We’ll see.

So, I think I am going to go back to Google Sniping site building. Even though my 2 GS aren’t making a lot of money (I think I didn’t judge my competition well enough or my page just sucks as far as pre-selling), at least I did make 3 sales in 2 weeks with one of them.

George just re-released the Google Sniper to the public and he now has videos featured that go along with his eBook. I found the videos really helpful. They have clarified things and taught me a few new things that I wouldn’t have known otherwise.

I need to regain my focus so now I am going to go back to google sniping with Clickbank products or a CPA offer when necessary. Hopefully with watching his new videos I won’t make the same mistakes I did with my first 2 GS sites.

I have really outspent on software this month. I spent way too many late nights browsing the WSO forum and I was so quick to leap at offers and now my credit card company is probably both eager that I have put so many charges on my card and probably worried that every month will be like this until I reach my maximum.

I bought another back link eBook that was similar to Angela’s back links. Then I saw another eBook that was suppose to make things more “automated” with Angela’s and Steve’s back linking so I bought that. It really is useful. It has cut my back linking time down from 3 hours a day to about 45 minutes. Then along with that was a recommended software purchase.

Purchases I am thrilled to have bought this month:

CPA Marketer’s Bootcamp With Ron & Jeremy:
I knew nothing about CPA when I entered this bootcamp. In fact I had the purchased the bootcamp membership after I purchased a more expensive eBook that completely lost me in all the CPA jargon. Jeremy’s sale’s page just made it sound like it would enlighten me and walk me through all of it. For a one time fee of $27.00, I think this is really a great deal. Each there are lessons via video and they show you the step by step process that they do to earn money.

I started my first CPA offer last Wednesday and since I was pretty sick last week, I only did a half-ass job. I really think the light has clicked on for me. I totally understand how their method works and has potential for a long term earnings and not just a quick 2-3 month life span.

I haven’t made any sales just yet but I got all the basics done and then today i was able to tweak my main page and I hope it helps with converting.

RoboForm:
Expediates form filling and passwords so much quicker which is essential once you start to have lots of websites.

Micro Niche Finder:
Powerful little keyword research program. Does all the real dirty work for you and help you find keywords you can use for you blog titles etc to drive more traffic to your site. Makes it an absolute breeze for finding niche markets for google sniper sites!

RSSBot:
Uber fast software that submits your feed to loads of RSS submission sites.

I am hoping I start making sales in the next few days with my CPA strategies. I’ll keep you updated.

I have spent $300.00 this past week on WSO (warrior special offers). By the way the warrior forum is a great resource for internet marketers, niche bloggers and just about anyone interested in making money online. You can join the warrior forum here.

Some of those purchases have been on software, eBooks, elite back link lists and a membership to a CPA training program. I am getting my feet wet into CPA. I do enjoy niche blogging and I will continue to work on niche blogs and sniper sites but I feel that it’s also best to not throw all your eggs in one basket. I love change even though I also love stability I just got my interest peaked by alot of the CPA talk on the forums there, so I signed up for a CPA Marketer’s Bootcamp and I am going to learn as much as I can about CPA marketing and add that into my personal program.

So far from what I have seen in the bootcamp, the google sniper sites are really complementary with CPA marketing. More than likely I will build GS for my CPA promotions. Of course the hardest part about CPA is getting your foot into the door. Luckily the CPA Bootcamp helps prepare us for that process and I am confident I will get approved.

I honestly never thought I would stray from blogs but the faster earning potential has definitely caught my attention.

GS #1 Update
The site is ranking #3 position out of 294,000 other sites for it’s keywords without quotes. I still think George’s sniper site keyword theory is the best.

GS #2
The site is ranking in at #10 (moved up 1 spot overnight) out of 595,000 sites for the keyword without quotes.With quotes it is #2.

Oh and one of my niche blogs earned me $30.00 in affiliate sales so far for April. It is actually it’s first month of earning affiliate sales. It is a 3 month old blog. It shows $61.00 in affiliate sales but it also shows one sale as voided so I contacted the merchant to figure out why the merchant deemed it voided. If they do not give me a valid reason, i am going to drop them and pick up another. I don’t need to be ripped off by a merchant, especially my first month of bring them in 3 sales in the past 5 days. This shows me that blog is getting significantly more traffic.

GS #1

So my first GS (google sniper site) has already made 1 sale in just 7 days. It wasn’t a huge commission I earned, only $3.79 but still just the pure fact that it was able to make a sale in such a short amount of time shows huge success in the principles behind google snipping.

For google position; I am at the #4 spot without quotes and with quotes I am #1.

As far as Angela’s back links go, I have noticed that my traffic went from 5 visits on Thursday to 30 visits on Friday. That is also significant.

GS #2

I haven’t made any sales with GS #2 yet. It is not even a week old yet though. It’s getting some visitors. When searching for my keyword with quotes, it is in the #2 position. Without quotes it is at #11 position (2nd page). hopefully Angela’s back links will help place me on the front page in the next few days.

Overall my blogs have received more traffic since doing angela’s back links. My best performing blog had somehow been knocked down from position #4 to #9 and now with just a few days after doing the back links it is back up to #5 position.

Today I plan on building some more back links with the rest of Angela’s older packets and then I will start a new GS. I’m thinking if I could just bust out 100 websites by November 2009, then I should be able to more than replace my current income. Now I know 100 seems like a lot but I think I could easily do 10 GS a month and toss in a blog here and there.

My first sniper site got indexed today. Not bad since I started social bookmarking and building back links for it on Sunday and Monday which means it only took about 5 days to get indexed. It’s also in the #3 position without quotes out of 293,000 sites. That’s pretty fantastic work I’d say. Now just to see if I can get some sales from it.

Just waiting on sniper #2 to get indexed so I can start setting up affiliate links for it.

Tomorrow I plan to create my 3rd Sniper Site and then finish Angela’s back links.

I’m thinking about hosting a contest on my best performing blog. It would help with getting more reviews on the niche product which means less work for me and less money I would need to spend. lol

I was tired last night and went to bed around 11 pm only to be woken at 2:00 am by my son coughing so bad he was gasping for air. I had already given him Triamenic right before bed and I guess it wore off. So I gave him some more and he attempted to fall back asleep. His coughing continued for another hour until the medicine kicked in and he was able to sleep soundly. I got up at 6 am while he was still sound asleep and called Kaiser to take him in to see his pediatrician. His appointment was at 11:30 am (again I am ever so thankful I do not need to ask permission from a boss to leave early) I managed to start a sniper blog while he lived up the fact that he didn’t have to go to school and could watch cartoons on the couch instead.

He’s fine. The doctor says it appears to be his allergies. Better to be safe than sorry, I say.

I then came home and had some lunch before I returned to my sniper site. I finished it and social bookmarked it. I ended up ordering 3 back logs of Angela’s back links and I managed to just do about 6 sites today. I am still amazed at some of these links and how easy it is to get them. Pure genius!

I am finished for the day, feeling quite accomplished again. I think I may make tomorrow be a squidoo page day and create some lenses for my new sniper sites even though it’s unnecessary to do so but I am sure it will help.

Gonna run and shower for dinner with my mom. I also received my new hair flat iron today and can’t wait to try it out! <3 UPS!

I cannot believe how much I accomplished today. I did all of Angela’s Back Links from the April packet and I am now considering ordering her older packets too. I am going to be watching my traffic the next few days to see how much the links have helped my sites improve. Several users on The Niche Blogger forum have reported seeing more traffic and better ranking just days after getting Angela’s packets.

My morning was broken up with a call from the school nurse reporting that my son’s contact lens was bothering him and that I needed to come to his aid right away (he’s 7 years old). It was such a relief to be stress-free from having to ask a boss for time to get away to take care of such an emergency. It just made me feel even more appreciative about being my OWN boss and blogging my way to independence. How many people can just break away from their work day to care for their child?! This is not something I just want to do passively, this is my future… a future for my son and I.

Side note: I took my son grocery shopping yesterday and out of the blue he asked me “Mom, wouldn’t it be nice to just have enough money to buy us whatever you wanted?” I never talk about finances with him but he far too often hears me say “No hun, mommy doesn’t have enough money for that”. During one walk down the snack aisle he noticed a box of fruit snacks and said “Whoa that is $7.00. That’s a lot of money. I don’t want to spend a lot of your money mom”.

I don’t know how to feel about this. Should I be proud that he is understanding the value of a dollar or should I feel sad that he knows money is tight?

Anyhow, so after running down to his school, I came back and finished more back links then i had to run and get him at noon since it was early release day.

Then I finished my last 2 back link efforts and then I managed to bust out 5 posts for a new niche blog I started last week. THEN…oh yes there is more. I decided to try my hand at putting together an excel spreadsheet so I can start tracking my business expenses and earnings. It was so much easier than I thought. I figured it out and configured the main expense colum to tally up everything. It’s beautiful.

I actually worked today. I never bother working on the weekend but I was really excited to try and get a google sniper site up and since I spent the day shopping for a new phone yesterday, I had to make up for lost time. Now I originally planned on getting my GS site up in about 5 hours. It actually took me about 3 hours longer. I am somewhat of a perfectionist on headers etc on my sites. I custom made a beautiful header for my GS and I set everything up and wrote 2 posts for it and everything. After it was fully complete I started to click on all the links etc to make sure all was running smoothly and sadly there was some sort of error in the coding. I tried to figure it out but after 30 more wasted minutes I decided to chuck the theme and pick up a new one. Which meant ANOTHER header design. Took me about another 40 minutes to get the new site converted for the new theme. It was a beautiful mistake because I actually really like the new theme better!

Anyhow, I am proud of the work I have done today and now I am off to enjoy the rest of my evening. hopefully I will be updating next week with some more news on my GS sites.
