Zero to Hero Day 3 – Digg, Adsense and Stumbleupon

Day 3 of our 30 day challenge.  Today wasn’t a posting day for me.  Today was a family day.  With that said, Andrew worked out a few good posts including this one that we’re hoping finds some love with Digg or Stumbleupon.

Not much for updates, I added a Google Sitemap plugin to help with our indexing issues.  Google still has the old pages and old link structure indexed.  We’ve got about 15 good pages of content and some peeps from Google would help with our Adsense woes, which currently stands at $0.01 from 1 click total.  Monday I have a few good ideas for posts, unfortunately they’ll lead me on a long unending string of research to get the best content.  After all, isn’t that what good content is, well thought out, well researched, rehashed content?

Zero to Hero Day 2

Yesterday we managed to get out 7 posts on the project site. All were quality posts, nothing spammy. Today I’ve been busy but have added a little snippet listing the post author and post category. Just need to get the formatting worked out. Colors aren’t showing from the right CSS class and I’m not CSS expert!

Yesterday I added a stock photo from iStockPhoto and it looks pretty good. Definitely obvious that it’s stock though. Picture was only $1. We’ve decided that the header section to the right of the photo should highlight some of our posts.

Today I hope to get about 4 posts total finished. One is done already.

Yesterday Andrew’s post received about 200 uniques from Stumbleupon. Don’t know what the real reason is except he has a pretty good size following at Stumbleupon. A few more of those posts and we’ll easily hit our goal of 2,000 uniques.

No earnings from Adsense yet, but I don’t really expect Stumbleupon visitors to click ads. No traffic from Google yet either.

Andrew and I both posted some comments on blogs yesterday with the name showing as “Brandon – Call Center Consultant”. Hopefully some of the dofollow blogs will show our comments and lead Google back to our site with decent anchor text.

I’ve been thinking about buying some links but haven’t decided yet. The site design and development cost about $100 total so I don’t want this project to put us too far into the hole if it doesn’t make any money.

That’s enough for today, back to writing!

30 Day Challenge – Zero to Hero

During the month of November, Andrew and I will be focusing as much as possible on a joint venture. Our joint venture will be all about the call center industry, especially targeting the keywords call center consultant. During November we have 3 goals:

  1. 2,000 unique visitors. For the past few months this site has had about 30 uniques total.
  2. $100 revenue. This site currently generates $0 revenue.
  3. 150 total articles. So far we have about 6.

As the title says, we’re going to take this site from 0 (nothing) to hero (generating income) in one month. If we can do it, so can you!

I don’t know if we’ll be able to do it, but I sure do hope we can. For me, it’s fun to be working with a partner on a project like this. Andrew is an exceptional writer and we should have great success with this. I’ll keep you updated with how our goals are coming along, and if you want to help, just link to the site!
