Which was the first blog or website you ever made?

12 years ago

My first site was clickersintheclassroom.com and it was and continues to be a big flop : ) But I learned so much from that experience.

I read a $7 e-book 17 months ago and forged my way into the certain I.M. riches that would surely follow. My first mistake was finding a keyword, clickers in the classroom, which had 2,000 broad matches. But of course I forgot to click the exact matches in the google keyword tool until after my blog was complete on my own hosting and domain. I went back to google keyword tool and checked the exact match stats an found it was the dreaded ----- nothing. Of course this was operator error : )

What this taught me was to take action, learn from mistakes and keep moving forward.

Mine was a Blogspot blog on my perspective on whatever I felt like writing about with each post including a personal story. Sort of on online journal, if you will.

I learned how to work with blogs quite a bit from that and that was a good thing because I have a tendency to be a tech-tart, lol!

Our first blog always make us learn a lot...And I guess that happened with you too.. I also learned a lot like not buying spammy backlinks, regular update is mandatory, there is no short cut etc.... I hope your post will help other webmasters...

Thanks

Thats the worse thing about google...Half of their money comes from keeping the payment...

But I am really happy that you are back with great confidence...

My first blog was/is a tech support blog for various tech topics, tips, tricks and fixes.
I hate that I used the free Wordpress.com platform to create the blog but I learned a lot about blogging as a result. I still update it from time to time (rarely) and it still gets some traffic, albeit not that much. lol

My first blog was a site for a clickbank product. I went for an emd, didn't do any keyword research, and created content blindly. After the site didn't rank on google I tried again with a different site. That was a year ago. Now I'm back to building a blog. Maybe this time I'll make sure to do the keyword research.
