Interestingly the ezine articles are still rising and we have 3 more waiting for approval. The associated content line seems to be a little dead at the moment but we may pick this up a little later.
Squidoo seemed like a great idea..... No traffic though, I will still keep refreshing these daily and play the long game here.
Also I have a great method for posting loads of content, get a blackberry and at every spare opportunity send a post to the blog. Then log on to the dashboard, check for errors and add tags to the post. Then shedule these posts to go every day at random times. Then if you fancy a day off you can safe in the knowledge that the posts will keep coming.
I am a firm believer that content is the king!! When you are working with adsense the more pages you have the more chance of someone landing on them is. I think I really need to work on interlinking my posts as I am finding the blogger platform difficult for my users to navigate. Google analytics are showing a large bounce rate. Not because the articles are unhelpful but because once they have read it they are not enticed to read anymore. I used to work in a supermarket and I was told that if the effort needed to keep a customer is valued at 1, then it would take 10 times the amount to win a new customer and 20 times the ammount to win an unhappy customer back.
I plan to use this in blogging, keep the visitor on the site. Why work hard to get them here and then let them go so easily. The more pages they see the more adverts they see. You see?
I have also been adding a few comments to so blogs with my link and I have tried to leave some comments of ezine articles so we can see if these show up on yahoo site explorer soon. I also contacted my first webmaster to ask about guest blogging so lets see how that pans out.
So in conclusion its fair to say that we are off the ground but rising very very slowly and we have put in a lot of work upfront. We hope to see the benefits of this work over the next 2 months. I am toying with the idea to set a time limit on this experiment as it takes far to long to make any money. Perhaps ebooks are the way to go.....
Na, stick with the method that is working (albeit, not magnificently). Expand it and tweak it!! Who knows the last month might have been the start of a beautiful friendship :)
