Project Adsense - It's been...

Wow, it's been 12 days since my last entry. Don't worry folks, I haven't given up yet. I've been working away. I've also gotten a little busy at my real job too!



Here's what I've done since my last entry.



I (in combination with my travel and food experts) have written and submitted several articles. I've submitted these with the help of "article post robot" look for a review of that product here soon. However, before I review it I want to send some ideas to the developer. I think the product is a little raw right now and needs some work. It's almost worth me taking the time to write my own, but I digress. For now, if you are using article post robot, use manual mode. It takes longer, but you are not missing 2/3rds of the sites you are trying to post to either.



Project Adsense has some new sites.



Real MMA which is a blog style site for MMA predictions and gossip. Most of the content will be put up my me, but I'm really hoping to get some people willing to post their own stuff too.



Real MMA Forums This is my first venture into the forum arena and I decided to go with MMA. The reason for this is simple. I know of 5-10 people who can argue fights, fighters, predictions, UFC vs Pride, etc and that's free content for me Of course I'm going to do link promotion, SEO, keyword stuff etc to try to get many users. Who knows, some day this may be my big earner.



Speaking of big earners, the Christmas Site has been by far my biggest earner so far (my total is now over $6). I'm getting between 50 and 100 page impressions per day from the Christmas site with the appropriate 2 or 3 clicks. Some of my ads are paying 3 cents, while others have paid up to 40 cents per click.



New Domains



I've registered several new domains, but they do not have sites to go with them yet. As they come online, I'll mention them here. One which is up, but has no real content yet is



Cottage Country Contractor Which is a site to promote my brother in law's siding business north of Toronto. I tried to make the domain name keyword rich so that search engines might find it easier. By brother in law is putting together some information/pictures/portfolio to add to the site. The site is mainly to drum up business for him, but I figure a couple of adsense ads might make it worth my while too



I've decided to buy the professional version of AddWeb's web site promoter. To be honest, link market has better people to trade with, however they do not have automatic link page generation and it becomes a real black hole for my time adding items to my pages manually. I wish that link market would make their interface better and offer. Right now, for me AddWeb is a better all round solution. That's another $300 into the pot. Here are my expenses for this project so far:



Domain registrations (2 years)

9 domains, some on sale, some private - approx $80

1 hosting account $140

article post robot $127

AddWeb Deluxe 1 copy ($80)

AddWeb Pro 1 copy ($300)

LinkMarket, 2 account ($50)

Advertising (ExactSeek) $60



That's getting close to $1000. Imagine, I thought I would get away with $200 at the start lol.



But, now I'm set for my link trading and submission needs (addweb pro allows 100 link trade sites). I'd love to know if the advertising is working...I should log in sometime and check it out.



Well, talk to you later.
