Am I on track here? (I'm looking for feedback from people who have made over $1,000 in IM)
So far I have not made any money.
I was able to get my last site on to Google page one. The problem was that I picked a keyword that had very little traffic. So, even though I was on page one, I only got a trickle of traffic. In fairness, I did earn about $5.00 from this site via Adsense. I'm looking for $5.00 per day, not $5.00 total.
I'm hoping to get feedback on my latest site so that if I'm not on track I can make corrections.
Here are the details:
primary keyword: medical billing and coding (135k monthly searches, $8.50 CPC, Google exact match search - with "" = 633k)
additional supporting keywords: medical billing and coding (careers, courses, jobs, online, salary, schools, training, work)
I've been working on this site for about two weeks. Everyday I add one post and one backlink (via social bookmarking sites, other blogs and Angela's links).
So far I'm indexed but still way out in the weeds on ranking in Google.
Am I on track here? Can I reasonably expect to get enough traffic to generate $5.00 per day? If so, how long until it gets to that level (i.e. how many posts and links will I need)?
Please be brutally honest in your feedback as I don't want to waste time if this is a doomed effort.
Here is the site: Medical Billing and Coding World - for anyone interested in medical billing and coding
I know I'm not supposed to give out all the details of a site because someone might jump into the same niche and increase the competition. At this point, I'm so frustrated that I don't care about competition, I just want to know if I'm heading in the right direction or if this is doomed effort.
Thank you all in advance for you thoughts.
