I think that I am going to stop posting updates. I will continue working on my site (its ranking at position 9 as of yesterday), but I do not actually enjoy writing the updates, and I really do not think that they are of any use to anyone.
If you do want to know more, let me know in the comments.
Today was a day of building backlinks, mainly through bookmarking, and I spent about an hour and twenty minutes on that.
Total time take so far: 6hours 30 minutes
Some progress today
Time Spent so far: 5hours 10 minute
Another lazy day… I seem to have way too many of those, I really should focus more.
Time taken so far: 4h 10min
The only thing I did on this day is to write the first post for the blog, which took me about 20 minutes.
Time Taken so Far: 3h 50min
Due to other commitments, i did not actually get much done on this day either.
Total Time spent: 3h 30min
Today has been a rather more relaxed day in this aspect, but I did get some basic housekeeping done:
Ok, a bit of an uneventful day, but it happens sometimes
Total time spent so far: 3h 15min
Well, time to move onto day 2, which was a bit less exciting:
Overall, not a very productive day, but I am glad that I have kept moving things forward.
Total time spent so far: 2h 55min
Well, this is my first attempt at an SEO site, relying on search engines for traffic.. I have decided to make it a case study, and provide information about what I am doing step by step. I am trying to this with spending the minimum possible, mainly because I do not have much money to invest, and because I am not sure if this will work
Each day, I will track the activities I do, and how much time I spend doing them. I will try to reveal everything, except the site and keywords itself, mainly because I do not want competition, and I do not want to skew the results.
I have already picked a niche and keyword when I start this (a keyword that has a decent amount of traffic according to the Google Keyword tool, and not too much competition. The front page of Google shows some authority sites, although the ranked articles are not actually a good match for the search term (one of those things that is obvious to a human, but Google’s algorithm has not picked up), as well as a forum thread (ironically enough it is a forum that I am already a member of, so it might be useful for backlinks, if the tread is still active).
In this, I am hoping to do more with the particular broader niche, so I will try to set this up into a more sustainable business.
You might notice that I do not spend much time on this per day. The main reason for that is that I work full time, and have a wife and three year old child. This is more a side project, that will hopefully provide some extra income.
For the same reason given above, the posts will be appearing with a bit of a delay. As I am writing this, I am actually already a week in… The posts might catch up, they might not.
So, without any more ado, here is what I did on day one
Total time spent today: 115min
