Let's Do An Experiment

(Sorry for the long first post)

I have a domain that is almost 5 months old, and the other week I added a wordpress blog to it. After downloading a new wordpress update last week, the settings were changed to make my blog private. So Google deindexed my blog. Google is finally starting re-index my site again.

So what's the experiment? Well this is sort of like one of those "I'm broke and don't have a job and only have enough cash flow to last me until after the holidays so let's get to work" type thread. If you hate them then I'm sorry... but there's something in it for you at the end. Also, it's not like I need to go out and get a job because I have a family to support or anything like that. I'm only 19 and still living at home until August next year, so I just need enough money right now to pay the car payment and insurance and such.

The experiment is to see how much search engine traffic I can drive to this blog by January 1. Since I have full time to devote to this, I will be working soley on this blog day after day. I will be adding posts based on keywords on a daily basis, and using Unique Article Wizard and Free Traffic System to give many backlinks to each individual post.

Don't worry, I won't burn out from only working on this one blog. I've been into IM for quite a while so I know the type of work it involves. I actually believe I would be making some decent money right now if the last product I promoted didn't start getting so many refunds. So with this blog, some days I'm going to add 10 or so posts all focused on keywords getting 50-300 "exact" searches per month, while other days I will focus on adding 2 or so posts for keywords getting 1,000+ "exact" searches per month. The difference is I will spend more time during the day getting backlinks for the days I only do a few posts for more competitive keywords.

As you can see at the link below. I've only gotten one visitor from the search engines in the past entire month, and that 1 visitor was me.

So what's in it for you guys? Well, you have until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time of November 30 to give me a guess for how much you think my highest traffic day will be up to by December 31 at 11:59 p.m. I will be going off of search engine traffic only! So even though I may have a 20 unique visitor day, but only 15 from the search engines, then this counts as a 15 unique visitors day. Also I will only be going by unique visitors, not page views.

This will be like a "The Price Is Right" style thing. Whoever gets the closest number without going over wins. So if you guess 100 and I get 99, then sorry but you don't win.

What do you win? Whoever comes closest without going over is going to be getting $2 for every 10 unique visitors. So if I end out December with my highest being 300 unique visitors then i will paypal the winner $60.

I'm doing this for a few reasons. The one reason is because it will show people how quickly you can actually build up the traffic to a blog on your own domain with the right amount of "smart" work involved. If the blog starts to get a really good amount of traffic by the end of the December (which I really plan on happening), then this will be layout for exactly how that happened for other people to follow. I'm also doing it because it will be a huge motivation to me to track my progress. I want to be able to give someone a decent amount of money at the end of this, because that means that I will be doing very well.

Well that's it. The experiment starts.... NOW!
