My Internet Lab

Yes it has. Too long for me and I apologize for that. I have just been busy with life and the lab took a back seat, all though I did keep track of it it while I was off.

As far as my first project to get traffic to MyInternetLab.com, I submitted to directories, did some article marketing and made comments on a variety of different blogs.

I submitted to a lot of directories. All of them were PR - 2 or higher and I started with the higher ones first. Some of my submissions were approved right away and I am still getting trickles of approvals in every once in awhile. But the one thing I noticed about the directory submissions was that they have brought me zilch for traffic! But, within a month of so of the start of the submissions, MyInternetLab.com had a Google PR - 2, and I attribute that to the directory submissions alone!

The article marketing has driven a couple of people to the site, but not has much as I thought might come. I have had tons more success making relative comments to other blogs and getting traffic from those comments and my best traffic source is the 45n5.com’s Top 100 Make Money on the Internet List. I am averaging about 20 visitors a week right now and now that I will be more active here I hope for that number to go some more.

I have started other projects in my absence also and I will report to you on those too in the near future.

Till next time…..

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping by today and as always feel free to ask a question or leave a comment as it is always appreciated.

The AdSense codes  in the theme that I am using for my WordPress mini site project finally started working and that means my mini sites are ready to go.  To catch up on what has happened so far, see this post and the last part of this post. I have put final finishes on all of them and I need too add some more articles to complete them, but they are ready to go.

To see one of them, visit Classic Cars and it gives you an idea of what they are like. They all have the same design, just different titles and they are along the same niche as this. I would appreciate any comments you may have on them and as always I will keep you informed on how they are doing.

I plan on putting ads on Craigslist to get them some exposure and also article writing.

Till next time…..

Hey All,

Thanks for stopping by today. I just wanted to give you an update on what was going on with the WordPress Niche Site project.

In my last post I had talked about having a little trouble figuring out Craigslist and trying not to get my ads flagged or ghosted. After reading The Ultimate Guide to Buying and Selling on Craigslist that I talked about in this post, I have a clearer picture on how to write ads that will hopefully prevent this from now on.

As far as the sites themselves, I have decided to make them a sub-domain of MyInternetLab.com for a couple of reasons. One is because it is cheaper and two, I wanted to see if it really made a difference if the site is a top level domain or a sub-domain and hopefully this will help answer that question. I think it will not if I can promote these sites correctly.

I am also having trouble with the free theme I selected to use for this project. The main page AdSense does not reflect the content and therefore makes no sense in promoting them until it is corrected. The first one I did seemed to fix itself after a few days, so I am hoping this will be the ticket for the others. Not all of the sites did this though and this was the irritating part of the problem and I could not pinpoint anyone thing that may have started this problem.

So, that is about it for now. Please leave comments or questions if you have them, they are greatly appreciated.

Till next time…..

Scott
