Sharing My Progress

Hi all,

Ok, so after following the footsteps of the guru's here, on 3/24/10, I got off my a$$, researched my keywords with MNF and Google, bought a domain, made the website, and started writing articles.

This is what I did in 21 days (and most of the time was spent on learning wordpress and creating the site)

Submitted a site map to google

Wrote 6 articles and submitted them to 8 article directories. I just changed the titles and anchor links to be different. The body of the articles stayed the same. I submitted the first 4 after I created the articles and then 1 each week to all those directories.

Went to digg.com and added my site
Went to connotea.org and added my siteWent to blinklist, reddit, and technorati and added my site

Bookmarked my site at google bookmarks, posted my website on my facebook wall.

1-2 times a week I pinged my site with pingler and ping o matic

I'm also starting to add the articles I submitted to the article directories on my website, changing them a little. Not sure if this will help, but it can't hurt.

My wordpress website was indexed by google the day I put it up, unlike my blog at blogger, which took 2 weeks, not sure why???

My site hovered on page 8 when I googled my keywords, then to page 7, 6 and yesterday and today I am on page 1, but the last website. This morning it was last, now I checked and it's 3rd from last. So positions can change throughout the day.

Not sure what propelled my website from page 6 to 1, but the date my site was cached by google never changed even though I went from page 6 to 1.

I'm excited that I'm on page 1 and yesterday I made a whopping .20 with adsense. I know it's nothing to take home, but I just thought I'd post my progress so that anyone thinking about doing this can see that what's posted on this forum does work....And it will be that much easier if you find a niche that get lots of traffic and no competition....that in my opinion is the toughest part, finding keywords..
