2nd Week Review

Well , I’m so far into about 2 weeks of the new website project. Surprisingly this website is doing better and better, my traffic has just about doubled each week that I’ve been working on it.

My google stats have been GREAT as I’m starting to see traffic from keywords that I wouldn’t of expected, and my search traffic should increase a total of 400% from last week which is pretty good in itself.

While all is good with this website , my entrance into CPC advertising via online content websites has been SPECTACULAR failure. I’ve already had over 100 clickthroughs with NO sales from that source. I guess I only have myself to blame for writing crappy ads (I just changed them again tonight). I’ve been playing the game with various coupons I’ve found online, so thankfully I’m not spending money out of my own pocket.

Real estate (My normal job) Hasn’t been bad, I’ve converted a few of my leads to contracts which is great, but then after almost 3 years, I should be able to convert a sale.

My website traffic

As you can tell , the traffic has increased greatly over the past few days, and the best part is it’s mostly from search traffic (The early spike was from a few forum posts.)

Unfortunately my ad revenue isn’t increasing as well as I’d like as compared to my traffic. My CPM rate has been very erratic.

My current goal is to finish up the rest of the ads on this website, and then go onto my new project that I’m testing right now. Unfortunately I am having to learn to do everything myself rather than paying someone to develop it for me (I’m poor gosh darn it!).

I signed up with Motive Interactive Today and am REALLY liking the setup. Earlier last week I was able to make some money in a short time span from incentive offers, so I think that will be my best bet in the near future.
