My Internet Lab

About eight months ago Entrecard popped on the scene and everyone jumped on board to this neat new idea about bloggers helping bloggers. Well, everyone except me that is. So a few days ago I thought that I would give it a go and try it.

Wow! I should shoot myself for not doing it sooner. After I got use to their dashboard and seen how they work, I made a 125×125 card at Free125Card.com and I started dropping my cards on other peoples sites. This is the equivalent to giving a business a business card and then they call back later. At Entrecard, when they come back to visit to reciprocate you stopping by their site, you then get a new visitor.

After a couple days of dropping and geting use to doing it I had my visitors increase to 35, then 81 and todays is 101! What a boost to my visitors and ultimately my page rank. If I can keep this constant or even higher, I expect to move up the next page rank update from my PR of 2 now.

So if you haven’t yet, go over to Entrecard and sign up today!

Till next time…..

After many fights in my head, I have finally decided to get busy with Twitter. I have fought for so long as how this is valuable and if it really worked. Well, it valuable and it does work. So here I am, 2 years behind and getting started.

Click here if you would like to follow me on Twitter.

My fellow blogger and hero, Caroline Middlebrook wrote a nice guide on using twitter. You can read it here. I hope you read it or pass it along to some one who doesn’t twitter.

Till next time…..

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…..
