Case-Studies for a newbie? $20,000 budget
I am newbie in IM. I am going to do a few case studies to get a feel how things work, which strategy works, just to learn by doing it.
#Project 1
Currently, I am working a website with Exact Match Domain (EMD), 5000 global search/month, 2000 local search/month. Hosted on Hostgator shared host, will put one 1,000 words, + four 250 words short posts. Will also do a few manual backlink per day using Scrapebox. I will monitor the traffic and the conversion rate (earning) using Google Analytics.
I am using wordpress with a few basic plugins.
- dSense-Deluxe WordPress Plugin/Acme Technologies Zeitgeist
- Stop Comment Spam and Trackback Spam /Akismet
- Google Sitemap Generator for WordPress
- socialable push.cx
- Il Filosofo/ WordPress Database Backup
Any other basic plugins I should add?
The website is a review website, I am focusing on the traffic (will get traffic lesson from trafficgrab.com for $79). I am putting adsense, amazon affiliate and click bank affiliate to monetise it. I am keeping track the Return of Investment (ROI).
Any suggestions?
Next projects
#Project 2: building a Made For Adsense (MFA) website, about 50-100 pages. The content will be autogenerated, will put adsense after I got a significant traffic. I hope this strategy will still work.
Any suggestions?
#Project 3:from what I read, it seems PPC and CPA is the way to make real money. Our profit is basically the different between PPC cost and CPA revenue and revenue from natural (non paid) trafffic. I will start will a small campaign, $30 per day for 15 days. Then gradually scale it up to $20K.
I believe the key is incremental improvement by refining the winning keywords and continous testing/optimization of the landing page.
Any suggestions?
If you have any thought of what would be good case studies for a newbie with some technical skill (e.g. I can program in C++/Java/PHP etc), please let me know. Many thanks for your comments/advices.
