Bankruptcy to Millionaire

So Adam commented that he thought I had given up on my blog. That all I was posting was American Idol bullshit.

Yes, it was complete and total bullshit. But there was a little method to my madness. And I bet many of you caught on to exactly what I was doing.

But, to Adam, if you think this blog is sunk, and now totally worthless (which is probably is. But I don’t give a fuck.) , feel free to visit wealthstore.com (as requested you do by Adam) and pass your own judgement as to who’s site is worth more.

I’ll tell you why I post 5 goddamned American Idol posts in a second. But first a brief comment on Wealth Store.

I went to the site, and immediately realized why Adam, was perplexed with the American Idol posts. That blog gets in my estimation exactly 0 natural search results a month.

Now let me be clear, B2M also got approximately 0 search results per month as well (actually more like 15, but most of those were probably my friends searching my name “Tevin Anderson”). And since I have no real purpose for this blog other than to document my success, failures, and what I’m learning.

Now I am NO SEO. I am an SEO retard actually. If you’re looking to make money online with SEO you need to be reading Vic, Court, and Grizz’s Blogs.

So I found out something kind of interesting. My posts on B2M were indexed in less than an hour in the search engines. So I wanted to try and capitalize and see if I could get natural traffic, that converts on an affiliate offer. Now since I didn’t have a high PR site that I could perform this experiment on other than B2M. That’s what I did.

Fuck it. Call it selling out if you like. I had some very interesting results.

I decided each post would be keyword focused. I would put a text link early on for an affiliate offer. Then I put an affiliate offer banner at the bottom of each post. The offer was an email submit for american idol season finale tix.

So the good news first. In the two days that I posted the posts, I got over 1000 unique search visitors. And I am getting roughly 80 a day after the event.

I was ranking on the first page for search terms like “songs sang on american idol gives back” or “songs on american idol gives back”, etc. They were long tails, but still getting tons of traffic (at least by this blogs standards).

I got about 8 clicks on the ads, and no opt ins. If it were pay per click (adsense), it would be great, because I would actually have made money. haha

I did all of this without any link building, so I can only imagine what a BMD run will do for something like this. I can’t wait to take what I’ve learned and apply it to a BANS site.

If I can take this info, and use it to rank for long tail keywords that actually convert. woooo…. I can only imagine.

Anyhow, if you were confused by the american idol posts. And you didn’t get what was going on. Now I hope you do.

Cheers all.

Ok, I’ve taken to some niche blogging and SEO techniques.

I’m going to try some keywords sniping for a couple of my sites to see if I can eventually rank well in the search engines for specific terms. To be honest, I have no idea what I’m doing, and furthermore, I have no interest in actually making money from my SEO trials.

I’m just doing it to see if I can achieve some sort of high SERPS for my given terms. Right now I’m trying to rent movies online and I am also looking for info on shih tzu training .

If you are not reading these blogs. And you are trying to make money online using SEO. You are probably not actually making any money online. Vic, Court, and Grizz cut through the crap and actually give real world, PROFITABLE INFORMATION. They’re not into nickle and diming you for shitty ebooks. They’re not looking to get your money. They know that giving good info to people that actually take the time to listen and learn, will eventually come back to them 10 fold.

These are by far the best blogs I’ve come by. And quite frankly, have cleared my RSS of almost every other blog, that aren’t these. So if you’ve been scammed by ebooks, or similar products, and really want to make money online. These guys will show you how to get started today.

Read those. Catch up, and lets make some money.

Ok guys here it goes:

I haven’t been blogging on a regular schedule for a long time. And it’s not because I’ve gone away from trying to make money (and lots of it, in just a short time). It’s actually quite the opposite. I’ve been building sites, trying ideas, learning new things. Growing.

And in this process, I’ve learned something. The internet is full of shit. It’s full of tons of worthless garbage, liars, posers, and down right dumb shit.

So, now fuck it. This is my website, and I’m going to run it my way, not the way everyone things a damn blog should be run. That means, I’m going to use big boy words. I’m going to vent, and I’m going to be more me than I ever was before.

It also means, I’m going to be taking down the ads, when I started this blog I got so damn wrapped up in my stats. How many visitors I was getting, my feed readers, my click throughs on my ads, my adsense crap.

UGH! I’m done with that. I’m only going to concentrate on things that make REAL MONEY. This site has never made real money. So I’m not hear to please anybody but myself any more. If I make progress, or learn new things. I am going to talk about them here. I hope to share everything I learn in a more open fashion now.

I don’t claim to make money online. I don’t claim to be an internet marketing genius. I am just a sponge willing to learn. And want a place to share my growth. So today, the ads come down. The traffic building techniques come down. The tone changes.

Today marks the day of a new B2M. Take it or leave it.

Ok, the January 28th deadline is looming for my $100 in one day profit.

I must say, I’m slightly disappointed in my results thus far. I am getting decent traffic, and decent opt-ins. (At about 5 opt-ins per day, at a cost of about $3 a day in advertising). I’m not doing anything major (I don’t have an unlimited budget).

But I am going to kick it up a notch. I am going to start looking for some free traffic (forums. Social media. Etc.) sources to pitch me free eBook. This will hopefully lead to a blow out sale that I am going to offer on the 27th for 24 hours to all of my opt-ins. I hope this leads to the $100 profit.

This blog is short, because I’m concentrating on taking action. What are you doing?
