Well, maybe not really… but I did come in with a G rating

Just a bit of fun to break up the day….

Well as far as things go - my fan site isn’t doing too shabby all things considered.  I’m getting over 200 visitors a day and a few Adsense clicks here and there to make it one of my top performing Adsense sites (although it isn’t a MFA… it’s just an advertiser I’m using until it craps out or I find something better).  Basically I wanted to test this site with Adsense… and so far it’s working rather well.

Since I’m finding things going well with the SEO, money is coming in slowly, I’m slowly building it up - it appears to be working.  So guess what!

I bought another domain for a fan site.

I’ve been letting go of a lot of domain names, and I just felt that since I see this working - and there is something else I’m enjoying watching, that I would build a site around it.  See where it takes me.

If it works out in a similar manner as fansite #1 then I’m looking at doubling things Adsense wise - which means a paycheque cometh - earlier!  See, method to the sheer and utter madness in my life!  I think this site will be just as fun as the first.  I’m going to do some keyword research and start basing some of my first articles around them.

On fansite #1 - I’ve not done so much of that lately.  I did add a new keyword into the content realm of that site - and I ranked in at 100 over at DigitalPoint’s keyword tracker.  Woot!

So there you go - I’m officially crazy.  Enjoying every minute.  And now I get to bore you with even more stat images!  Woot! Woot!

For the past couple of days I’ve been doing a few things that I normally do - like read my RSS feeds, visit blogs, do silly polls, and just basically fritter away my time - until I feel like working and then I spend the next few hours doing that… then I’m tired.  I go to bed.

But out of my usual routine I came across WAHM Radio.  Now, I’m not at all interested in this sort of thing… usually.  I find it so “not me”.  I am a mom, for a while I was at home, but I just am not that “motherly” - or rather I seem browbeaten to think that I have to be when I visit most of these sites.  Meh - it’s just not me.  So why did I end up listening to a WAHM Radio segment?

It was about Alice Seba selling off one of her sites - Internet Based Moms.  It was making her good money - why give it up?  I really wanted to know.  So I stayed around and listened.  She made sense.

When a site becomes so totally consuming as her site did - it loses that appeal.  Perhaps new blood is needed to make things fresh again, with the enthusiasm it had once started out with.  I totally get that.  I think that had to have been a bit of a hard decision for her… but she did it.  She feels good about it.  It wasn’t a bad podcast.

If you’re interested in that sort of thing… a break from the usual.

I also liked her thoughts on the whole - eggs in one basket - story.  I was listening to her, and thought if I could have done it all over again, knowing what I know now.  I wouldn’t have just bought domains and dreamed that they would make me money with a few pages put up and no real work put in.  I would have been focused on an idea.  Work it up and then expand - as she says within the same sort of area, then you’re not starting at ziltch every time - and that can be so very hard to break into.

I think I’m going to read some more and then make my next move :)  I know what’s working, now I need to expand on it.

As a guess to what kind of crazy blog whore I am:

I’m thinking I spend way to much time blogging!

We’re all hoping that things work out for us in affiliate marketing - or why would we even bother.  Hoping that the ideas we’re trying out on the interent - that one… just one will stick and you’ll know what you’ve done to make it stick and then repeat it and start making some money.  Probably wouldn’t say no to serious money… right?

Well by way of ShoeMoney I came across the site Super Affiliate Mindset.   He’s one of those fella’s that has made good money working as an affiliate marketer.  This is what he mentions on his site:

I won’t bludgeon you with yearly membership fee or what it takes to qualify for a black card, although I can tell you spending $1000s a day on pay-per-click advertising helps!

Could that be a tip to making things work online - working the PPC angle?  Something I’ve only dabbled in… and it’s not like I’ve got thousands to throw at it.  Maybe I need to start researching and start small - and see where it goes.  Maybe just take it all in and start reading his blog
