Website Building Update – Week 27
March 5th, 2010 by Clayton
Well, let’s keep going and start the next six months of this…
I fought back an urge to apply for a retail job at the mall, and decided to keep working full-time on these sites for another month. If things don’t start to improve more by then, I’ll probably get some kind of crappy job just [...]

Mistakes I’ve Made
March 2nd, 2010 by Clayton
So a bunch of you wanted to know what sorts of mistakes I’ve made in the past six months with internet marketing. I’m sure I’ve probably made a bunch of mistakes I’m not even aware of yet, but here’s what I do know about so far:
I built too many websites too fast. This is sort [...]

Website Building Update – Week 26
February 26th, 2010 by Clayton
Yikes! I started this 6 months ago? Time sure flies. It seems like just a few weeks ago that I sat down and wrote five panic attack articles on that warm August day. I hoped that by this point I would be rolling in dough, but I guess this whole business is harder than I [...]

The Slow Path to Here
February 23rd, 2010 by Clayton
I think it’s interesting to look back on the strange paths we take that lead us to where we are. Here’s my strange little path to where I am now.
I first found out about internet marketing from reading about something called the Golden Backdoor near the end of 2007. I was curious about it and [...]

Website Building Update – Week 25
February 19th, 2010 by Clayton
I built website #6 this week. I know it makes me a total nerd, but I’m really excited about this site! This is the first new site I’ve built since November. It’s almost exactly the same as website #4, so I expect it to start earning money in a few weeks. This will really help [...]

Website Building Update – Week 24
February 12th, 2010 by Clayton
This week consisted of more furious backlinking to my first set of websites. It is very boring and repetitive work. Heavy metal and fantasies of backpacking through Cinque Terre keep me going despite the boredom.
I finally finished all major SEO efforts on website #4 (get your ex-boyfriend back niche), and I’m almost done with website [...]

Website Building Update – Week 23
February 5th, 2010 by Clayton
This week has been all about backlinks! I’ve taken the articles I’ve spun last week and the articles my outsourcer has spun as well, and I’m going berserk with directory submits and web 2.0 sites. It’s pretty boring, but at the end of the day, I feel like I’ve done so much stuff!
I finally earned [...]

Website Building Update – Week 22
January 29th, 2010 by Clayton
I just past the 5-month mark doing this.
I’ve also started using a program called the Best Spinner to help with article spinning. I found out about it from an Affilorama member. It’s free while it’s in Beta testing, so I’ve been going crazy spinning as much as I can before it goes live on February [...]

Website Building Update – Week 21
January 22nd, 2010 by Clayton
This week I’ve started backlinking some backlinks to build up some link juice to my first level backlinks. Kind of complicated, I know, but I’ve been taking my previously spun articles and reformatting them for a different spinning service called Free Traffic System and swapping the link URL’s out for my web 2.0 sites and [...]

A Few Odds and Ends
January 19th, 2010 by Clayton
Lots of cool things are happening these days!
This past Sunday, I met up with some internet marketers here in the Seattle area. It was really cool to actually meet people that are doing this. It makes me feel a little less crazy to actually be around people that talk about SEO, affiliate commission rates, and [...]
