Driving Traffic To New Blog Day Seven

May 7, 2008

May 7 (Day 7)

Hey everyone,

Hmm, what do you want to hear first? Traffic, Pages indexed or Adsense? :)

Hmm, let’s start with the traffic.

Below shows an image of yesterday’s traffic, which doesn’t seem to have gone up much. But today, before starting this case study, we’re at 72 visitors already. So that’s a good sign.

Traffic received so far

Pages indexed so far. 4 more pages were indexed yesterday or early today, so I think the feedburner made a huge difference when I altered the setting to show all the posts being made on the new blog while submitting the feedburner feed URL out to over 120 RSS Feeds using RSS SUBMIT. I could of used Google Alerts to paste in the URL of the post in the Alert to see when it gets indexed, or when other sites link to it. But in all honesty, I’m not really bothered about that kinda stuff. I know where and how to get traffic and how to get my pages indexed FAST.

As I say yesterday, it takes about a week to get a fully indexed blog if it’s a totally new domain. We’re 3 more pages from being fully indexed. However it is possible to get a new domain indexed within 24 hours, but the problem you may notice, is one minute it’s there, the next, it’s not. That’s google for you. It would appear that it takes your urls, processes them, removes them for further analysis, then once finished, fully indexes your site based on where you get your links from, and how fast it indexes your pages on how regular the content is.

Ok, the good bit. Adsense earnings. Before starting I logged in to my Adsense Business Account (my 2nd account) and noticed something, not a shock really, but was surprised that the methods I use to get high paying clicks still works, well, not really surprised, I know my methodology to get high paying clicks makes sense that I show to my Video Guide To Profit members, but surprised to the stability of these clicks and regularity of how high they are. With all this nonsense going on saying how Google is in trouble, stock prices are coming down, Adword Costs per click are going up, traffic from adwords is going down, and all that jazz, Adsense publishers complaining not getting the clicks they once were, or not getting high paying clicks and automatically assume that Google is not a choice that people would rather have to monitize their websites and find other alternatives like Adbrite, Yahoo Beta Ads, etc.

Ok, I admit, Google is a bit of a dark horse and working them out is bloody hard at best of times. But after some thought when I sign off for the day (when I think better relaxing) Google in fact is getting a lot stronger than some take for notice.

In fact all this stuff going on is really good news for Adsense publishers. And these images below is a testimony of that.

Adsense Earnings Sofar

Today, I made $6.29. That’s an average of $2.09 a CLICK! Yeah-baby! How ya like those Apples? :) Who said Adsense was dead.
Oh, BTW. I made one modification to my Blog yesterday after finishing. I added a 768×90 banner across the top of each post. I think this made a HUGE difference. Whether it will stay consistant, only time will tell and what type of effort we put into place.

Below shows the total, $9.08, via 6 clicks, an average of $1.51 per click. Not bad eh? And we’ve only just started. How many people struggle to make that in a week, or a month? I’m by far from gloating here. But more to show you that these methods I use day in, day out, WORK!

Adsense Earnings Sofar

Guys, Gals, listen. A lot of people fail because they don’t stick to a plan. I hope that when you see these case studies over the course of the next 11 more weeks, you’ll see what can actually be made from one website / blog IF we stick to our guns and have a plan. This is one of the reasons why I am doing this case study to show / help you all that if you have a plan, follow what I have laid out here, which I could easily sell for $997.00 for the course, you’ll make a lot of money. I guarantee it. I guarantee that it works if the plan is followed, not just for one day, or one week, or one month, but ALL THE TIME!

Now, some people ask how can I do this with 500+ other websites when it’s clearly shown that I am putting in about 1/4 - 1/3 of a day into one website. Automation Baby! :) That’s where SEO Website Builder Pro comes into play.

For about 2 years now I have had a script that does the main automation, but they were separate scripts. SEO Website Builder Pro that launches in the coming months puts all these factors I use into a user friendly, manageable way of doing things plus it has some other bells and wistles in place as well that we’re currently testing out. And you know what? All I do is spend probably no more than 90 minutes a day creating articles and feed them into the script to do what it does best; getting traffic and optimizing the site at the same time with onpage and offpage SEO. :) Life is sweet! :)

Ok, now let’s get to work.

May 7 (Day 7)

* Started at 4:38pm
* Visitors received before starting 72
* Preparing more articles for article directories.
* Submitted blog TLD (top level domain, ie, somedomain.com) and 1 article page to Social Bookmarking sites
* Submitted blog to 8 more forums using the search function explained in Blog Case Study Day 4
* Traffic Received after finishing for the day, 20 more.
* Finished for the day - Time spent 4 hours 22 minutes.

So, recap.

Keyword Research with Keyword Elite. We entered the main seed keyword, a very broad term and run a list of around 10,000 keywords with it using Google Suggestion Tool, Freekeywords WT, Yahoo and Ask.

We then filtered out those keywords based on any crap we found, or keywords that are way way too long and kept ones that are around 1 - 6 phrased words in length.
Then we ran project 2 to find those high paying clicks.

I would show you the formula that I use to get these high paying clicks, but it’s unfair to provide those for free since Video Guide To Profit members paid to see that stuff, plus some other tips. I’m not pluggin Video Guide To Profits, and I know it’s expensive for some at $127.00 soon to rise to $167.00. So I’ve made some more videos in another product launch called Adsense Igniter (VGTP members get those for free as soon as I get a chance to upload 750MB worth of videos, around 40 more) which is much less and more of a compacted course, however it doesn’t show you how to build sites, create graphics, onpage and offpage advanced seo.

So how do we find those high paying niches? We’re basically looking for high paying professions, services or products. I generally get a lot of my ideas when adverts come on the TV and jot them down, and run those through Keyword Elite.

Then we start using Instant Article Wizard, or Instant Article Wizard Pro 2.20. They are both desktop versions, but the pro version takes the sentences and constructs the paragraphs for you on the fly and all you have to do is choose which one you want. Both are great tools. But the pro version is just a little bit quicker.

After we installed our blog, or found a free template to add to our normal website, we start adding these articles one a day for the time being.

Once we’ve done that, we then start creating a RSS feed, if you’re not using a blog, or use the blog’s rss feed and submit these out to RSS Feed directories, and also used Feedburner services as well, if you’re not using feed burner then you are missing out. We also signed up to Technorati as well so the pings we make do us some good.

Next we submit our blog, or our main website and over the days the article page urls as well to social bookmarking sites doing or best to ensure that the descriptions we use are mostly unique, this is where Instant Article Wizard or Instant Article Wizard Pro comes in, we can use snippets from those we haven’t used before (note: make sure that your settings are set to remove the choosen snippet first).

While we are doing that, we’re hunting for forums, as shown in Day 4 using special search functions to find forums. Again we use the snippets from our SAVED projects, yup, don’t forget to save those projects when you use IAW. They come in handy for later.

to add to the list we’re also submitting to link directories as well, DAILY! Directory Submitter FULL is a great tool, and has over 3000 link directories to use, and over 1600 of them are reciprocal FREE directories.

Whilst all the above is going on, we’re also creating extra articles to prepare to send to article directories later in the week.

But it doesn’t stop there. We haven’t even got to the other areas yet. In fact not even half of the sources I use.

As the days go by, you need to really pay close attention. I’ll even draw up a flow chart of what we are doing as things start to get difficult, and they will be made in a gradual progression as we do things rather than giving you one large flow chart that’s hard to follow. This way you can see what’s going on and the steps we take before it starts looking like Piccadilly Underground Train station map…lol

So, until then, stay tuned. :)

BTW, thanks to those who took the time to join up to Digg and Digg these articles, it’s most appreciated. But sad to see that over 98% of the readers here don’t even use Digg, gawd knows why, it only takes 2 minutes to join the place, and less than 30 seconds to digg it.

All the best

    I found a quick way to get Goggle to index my New web site over night.

    My old web site had a PR 2 what I did was to simply change my web site name and keep the same webhost.

    With Goggle searching my web site the next day giving me ” 200 Status OK ” for all of my new pages.

    Goggle still find’s some of my old files giving me 404 pages less each day from my old site.

    Goggle follows your IP address more than your URL.

  2. Loz on May 7th, 2008 9:56 pm

    That’s fine if you want to do that Jim, but not everyone has more than one domain name. And what’s more important is later you can’t use your first website that shares the same IP address as your second website, and later as you will see new sites that get added to your network ALL use different IP addresses which later on helps cut down all this work we do so we can use our own network of websites instead.

    And no, Google doesn’t just follow the IP address than the URL, IP address doesn’t just give you rankings based on the IP, it’s the words used on that URL that has more of a factor here in the case of URLs. There are more other important factors to look at as well.

    All the best

    Nice post! The ideas and insights are very worth reading. You really gave me valuable information. Thanks for sharing it!

    Loz

  6. Baz on May 8th, 2008 6:02 pm

    “Digg man still said no”, But I persisted until I tickled it into submission!
    Job Done! .. Hey if I can do it maybe others can give it a go too!!

    Kind regards
    Baz

  7. Loz on May 8th, 2008 6:37 pm

    Prolly cos you already submitted the Digg once. :) I noticed your comment there mate :)

  8. Jim on May 8th, 2008 8:18 pm

    Hi Loz,

    I have only one web site I’m using at this time, with that one domain I canceled
    my old web site due to thieves and PayPal.

    Her is what Goggle see’s today from my old web site on my new domain name.
    /QualityLeads
    Http Code: 404 Date: May 08 01:23:11 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: 102
    Referer: -
    Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)

    And here is what Goggle see’s with my new web site and new pages and gifs.
    /images/free-consultation.gif
    Http Code: 200 Date: May 08 09:34:07 Http Version: HTTP/1.1 Size in Bytes: 8763 Referer: - Agent: Googlebot-Image/1.0

    I didn’t say that Goggle ” just ” follows the IP address I said that Google put’s
    more weight to the IP address than the URL. How else can Goggle find my old
    web site with the old pages on my new domain name.

    The old domain name should have been deleted and not found, yet Goggle
    came to my new web site looking for my old web pages and at the same time
    indexed my new web site. It can only be because I still have the same IP address.

    Hey Aurelius, nice to see you over this end of the woods. :) Hope all is well.

    K, Jim, listen mate.

    IP address is important, no doubt, BUT only for the purposes I mentioned.

    If your website domain 1 was taken down and website domain 2 was put up, really makes no difference. First off, removing your domain name from the IP address doesn’t really speed things up, it’s what is referred to as Shared IP Hosting. And I can tell you now, 10 website domain customers who are with the same web host and one of them has been with them for years, will not allow the other 9 customers sharing the same IP using different domain names, speed up the indexing process.

    Who ever told you this really doesn’t understand the indexing process.

    Now as to why your 2nd domain name log records record the info from your first domain name could be due to bad configuration of the server. I asked my web host about it and he said it’s not possible unless something was configured incorrectly. ie, domain name mismatch.

    All the best
