Website Building Update – Week 37
May 14th, 2010 by Clayton
I’ve been having some good days lately. Honestly, I can’t really explain the results I’ve been getting. I’m getting about the same traffic and about the same hop clicks. It’s probably mostly luck. After all about two weeks ago I went 5 days with no sales. I guess it just comes and goes. I hope [...]

Website Building Update – Week 36
May 7th, 2010 by Clayton
Looks like my luck has turned around this week. I’ve been making some solid back-to-back sales. I think this is mostly due to the fact that website #6 is starting to bring in some money now that it is out of the sandbox.
I still feel like I’m trying to balance a bunch of spinning plates [...]

Website Building Update – Week 35
April 30th, 2010 by Clayton
So, I have no real self-control. Once I get an idea in my head, I’m going to end up doing it probably sooner rather than later. After seeing Keith’s results with PPC, I’ve decided to start a few small but cautious campaigns. I’m bidding on “product name review” type keywords and doing a Sean Morrissy [...]

Website Building Update – Week 34
April 23rd, 2010 by Clayton
This week has been really busy for me. I’ve been writing articles like crazy (at least 3 per day). I’ve also hired someone to help out with article spinning and I’ve been spending lots of time making training videos to show her how to do things and managing technical problems. I’m really excited about this [...]

Website Building Update – Week 33
April 16th, 2010 by Clayton
Hot diggity! I finished my Japanese language website! I’m excited about this one, big time. This is my first real “hobby” website too. All the other ones are “problem” websites. So I’m curious to see how this will fare.
Additionally, I’ve been churning out new articles for my older websites too. Honestly, my biggest fear is [...]

Website Building Update – Week 32
April 7th, 2010 by Clayton
I applied for a few retail jobs this week (thanks a lot professional masters degree…). I also just realized that SEOmoz is literally located about 5 blocks from where I live. They have an opening for a customer support position, so I applied. Man, that would be so cool if I could work there…
Anyway, I [...]

Website Building Update – Week 31
April 2nd, 2010 by Clayton
This week I redesigned website #1 after some people at Affilorama gave me a bit of a crit. Honestly, I’m liking the new layout better. It looks more professional, which I think is a good thing for the panic and anxiety niche.
I’m starting my “slow growth” strategy on some of my sites. I’ve [...]

Website Building Update – Week 30
March 26th, 2010 by Clayton
Well, now I’ve done it! I bit the bullet and finally formed an LLC company for all my internet exploits. I must admit that the process was remarkably easy, though incredibly stressful emotionally. It is hard to believe that I am now a genuine business owner. Datsu-Sara Media LLC was officially formed on March 25, [...]

Website Building Update – Week 29
March 19th, 2010 by Clayton
Well, I finished article spinning for website #6. I would have finished article marketing but AMA was giving me more problems this week and replacing a bunch of characters with garbage symbols in all my articles. Now I have to go back and edit all the crap out of my articles that they generously inserted [...]

Website Building Update – Week 28

I hung out with some architecture friends this past weekend. One of them got cut back to 20 hours a week since there isn’t any work in the office. The other one is expecting to get laid off in April when the project she is working on finishes up (there are no new projects coming [...]
