Day one of my Project 11/05 and I’m no where near ready for it to begin. Where the heck did October go? hehe…. Anyway, Project 11/05 is my Gift Basket website. It’s been done a million and one times before… wait actually as of right now there are 20,100,000 results for “Gift Basket”… I think I’m going to have to make a niche for myself, since the keyword Gift Basket has a LOT of competition. Which at some point I might try to break into… but for now - I’m going to look at good niche keywords for this very popular online idea.

This project might have me landing face first into a big pile of crap… but I want to see where I can take my site - develop a list of keywords first - add content daily with great gift basket ideas. Write up an article or two on making gift baskets, gift basket ideas, etc and sending them out to the article publishers (which I’ve never done with any of my other sites…and am currently kicking myself for.. but that’s a whole other ball of chaos).

I am not posting the site yet, since there’s nothing there to look at - just a basic template - and no content what-so-ever. When it gets up and running (hopefully next week this time) I’ll post the site and you can take a look - give your feedback and I can work from there.

So today I’ve set out the following:
- Keyword search for those “niche” keywords.

This week:
- Keywords
- Find content (products) for my site
- Add content to my site
- Show you my site
- Write one article
- Submit article
- - - Keep tabs on traffic to the site throughout the Project and let you know how it does.

Off to the races I go - searching for some great keyword combos and writing up a spreadsheet to organize this crazy project I’ve set myself in. I’m giving myself 30 days to see where this project will take me. If it looks promising I’ll be building on the momentum and working on it for another month after that - and see where it all takes me. (Knowing all too well that new domain names/sites sit in Google Hell for a certain amount of time… but I’m not ruling out Yahoo and MSN for traffic).

Wish me luck!
