Time For Some Talk..Micro Niche Blogging Status.. September Earnings.. Etc.

Okay I’ve been putting this off for way too long now hehe It’s time for me to update my blog.

So far things have been going very well for me, and it’s been very exciting.

Money wise?? I’ll tell you right now lol I’ve made a big fat $0. Well to be honest I’ve made perhaps $0.12 with Adsense, but is it worth mentionning?

So why am I saying things have been going well?

Let me explain myself..

For the past two years, I was what you would consider a 99% percent PPC (Pay per click) guy.
I was doing well, but never well enough to take it to another level. meaning I would come off after all expenses with $100 profits or less evry month.

Now it’s not that I never wanted to dive into SEO, but I wanted to have a winning campaign before investing my time into SEO.

Of course using pay-per-click program meant me paying money for traffic.. Now it’s something I no longer have the luxury to afford So I had no choice but to learn about driving traffic organically.

It took me a while to get the hang of things, but I do now

So when I started all this in september..my only expectations was to be able to drive organic traffic to any given sites..Heck I would have been happy to make money in the process, but it wasn’t my primary objective.

Free Traffic was and still is my primary objective… for now.

So now that the month is over, I can sit and look back on what’s been happening on my side.

When I started this project in early september, I decided that I would focus on 10 niche sites… I ended up going with 12

Some of them are aiming physical products others are aiming digital products.

Now my initial task was to put up all 12 sites online and take them through an inital round of linkbuilding juice and see what would perform well.. if any would.

So far, the results looks promising

Traffic from (Sept 1st – Septh 30th) Taken from Google Analytics

Site 1 – 27 Absolute unique visitors
Site 2 – 12 Absolute Unique Visitors
Site 3 – 2 Absolute Unique Visitors
Site 4 – 126 Absolute Unique Visitors
Site 5 – 12 Absolute Unique Visitors
Site 6 – 23 Absolute Unique Visitors
Site 7 – 5 Absolute Unique Visitors
Site 8 – 5 Absolute Unique Visitors
Site 9 – 14 Absolute Unique Visitors
Site 10 – 12 Absolute Unique Visitors
Site 11 – 8 Absolute Unique Visitors
Site 12 – Site is not 100% set up yet

Quick notes…

Site 4 – is definitely my biggest winner in terms of traffic, It brings me an average of 10 Clicks as of lately it hasn’t converted yet..will have to see.

Site 9 – I took all those numbers from Google analytics and I’m actually surprised by the result, especially that the site has been up for about a week maybe.

Now while I’m happy with the results, I have to take into consideration, that some of the visitors are direct effort of my linkbuilding process, not traffic coming from the search engines.. so next month I’ll be able to better assess how each one performs.

Another thing all those sites have received 50% of the initial link building process, boomarking, etc. I still have to send articles for all my sites up.. so that will be more link building to those sites.

Monetization

While I’m pursuing The niche models.. all these sites are built with the intention of becoming authority sites in the long term. If they don’t get to that point, it’s because they do not any ROI.. and I can see one of them already being a dud.. even though it’s sitting at position 4 in google. (site – 10)

While I do reported that I made $0.12 with Adsense. The monetization model I use, doesn’t put any emphasis on Adsense. I use it just to be there and collect money on the go, but my monetization targets specific products or category of products, so I’m pursuing the affiliate model where I get a commission when I make a sale.

So I expect this section of my earnigns to be low for a while.. but once it will take off..I’m sure it will

Objective for October!

Again I’d love to keep it simple..

I’m working my behind off lol but my goal for Ocotber would be to get a global (all 10 Sites) average of 30 clicks a day from the Search engines.

So that’s about it for now, I have been pretty busy.. getting this all together. But as I free more time, I should be able to post way more often )

Next post lined up..

An About Page.. (this one is long due)
My Earning page.. (You already know hehe, but I have to put this up too)
