My Niche Site Experiment

Thanks to the Warriors that gave me good advice in my last post in this forum.

I've read a lot, with still more to read and do, but following what I learned, I registered an [exactdomain].net, made a site using free hosting, wordpress and wrote 2 original, quality articles and did OP SEO. I did this on Monday night.

I have done no/nothing/nada/zero for backlinking. I was at 174 when I was indexed. Somehow Google indexed me in the time between posting the first article and writing the second. I had done the SEO before I was indexed, so that may have helped. The cache just shows the first article at the moment. I don't rightly know how much I can do to a brand new domain, so I'll take it slow for a few weeks.

Today I the cache still shows the same and I am at 70th for the keyword. 2 days in. Broad match gives 2,000,000 results, exact gives 16,300 and averages 4,400 searches a month. The movement is likely moderate competition and the domain name.

I'm treating this seriously but also a 'hands on' learning experiment. I noted that the .com for my domain is offered for $2000 and is a parked page. My thought is that I'll keep writing some more good articles, I'm a better than average article writer, if not long winded.

I haven't applied for an Adsense account yet as the domain is not yet 2 days old. I know I can sign up and use a work domain 10+, 8+ years old and be approved, but I don't want to be attached to a work domain, though the site will easily get me an Adsense account.

After more content, I'll build a few backlinks and see where I get in a few weeks, when I hope to have Adsense sorted out. I don't think that I'll have to do a lot to get in the top of page 1, but the top page is quite entrenched.

We'll see. So you all know, I have very modest expectations for this and it may well work, but I'll call it an experiment since I am very new to Adsense marketing and micro niches.

I'll take advice, I'm reading Xfactor as was suggested, but I'll likely ask some questions of you all.
