Zero to Hero Day 14 – Digg and steady earnings
In the past few days both Andrew and I have been busy. We’ve slacked off on our posting but are both going to try to catch up.
We’ve had steady earnings with 1-3 adsense clicks per day. Total earnings are around $15 right now. We’re definitely gaining momentum in terms of earnings. As for traffic, we’ve passed 3k uniques and are nearing 4k total. Apparently we shot a little low on that goal. Maybe our goal should have been 5k or even 10k unique visitors.
I wrote a post that I’m hoping will get popular on Digg and StumbleUpon. Check it out, “48 Practical Ways To Find and Land a Job“.
Zero to Hero Day 8 – Adsense and 2400 Uniques
So far the project is going great in my estimation. As of today we’ve had 2,405 unique visitors which obviously surpassed our initial goal of 2,000. Adsense seems to have picked up today and our Adsense total is about $7. Not much, but good for a site 8 days old. I know you may think that with 2400 uniques $7 is pitiful and I agree. Most of the visitors were from social sites like Stumbleupon and Digg and those visitors typically show a VERY low CTR, but they link up which makes it all worth it.
Google is beginning to index more of the site, still slowly. So far we have 31 posts published. 15 from me and 16 from Andrew. 31 posts in 8 days averages out to 3.875 per day which is well above the 2.5 we need to hit our 150 posts total goal. That includes me being sick yesterday and not doing anything.
Tomorrow I’ll be working on brainstorming for a good piece of linkbait so we can get some links. Without an influx of links, we’ll be fighting till the end to get our Adsense earnings up.
That’s all for this update. Please let me know if you’d like more or less info on this project. I assume people like this series since my FeedBurner subscribers, but I’d like to hear it from you. Obviously I’m trying to be transparent by giving out the URL and disclosing earnings and traffic. If you’d like to see different stats, let me know in the comments!
Zero to Hero Day 3 – Digg, Adsense and Stumbleupon
Day 3 of our 30 day challenge. Today wasn’t a posting day for me. Today was a family day. With that said, Andrew worked out a few good posts including this one that we’re hoping finds some love with Digg or Stumbleupon.
Not much for updates, I added a Google Sitemap plugin to help with our indexing issues. Google still has the old pages and old link structure indexed. We’ve got about 15 good pages of content and some peeps from Google would help with our Adsense woes, which currently stands at $0.01 from 1 click total. Monday I have a few good ideas for posts, unfortunately they’ll lead me on a long unending string of research to get the best content. After all, isn’t that what good content is, well thought out, well researched, rehashed content?
