Day 15 - Bum Marketing Adventure

EDIT: I GOT MY FIRST SALE!!!! Either I got lucky, or there really is something to that new trick I learned. Two hours after I made it! Holy cow!

Redid my layout, if you didn't notice. I liked the other one but apparently a lot of people thought it was a bit too harsh on the eyes. I guess I could understand that. I like this one better anyhow.

Did 2 lenses with my new plan of better support for each one.

I'm still waiting on ezinearticles to up my membership so I can really shift into the next gear.

I learned a new tactic for getting quick traffic and (hopefully) quick sales. I keep saying this, but I REALLY need to get the sales monkey off my back. I can't take it much more. The longer I go without a sale, the more I start thinking that I'm wasting my time on this internet marketing or doing something wrong. Gah. I MUST SUCCEED DANGIT! On a slightly bright side, I made over a dollar in adsense today, lol. On the one hand, it isn't much, on the other hand, if I could repeat that every day, that's over 10% of my goal. So I guess that's good.

I still can't seem to establish any consistent traffic, although I think I know why. The Overture tool sucks, really bad. It lies to me. I've been picking keywords that I thought were good, that actually kind of suck. I realized the Overture tool was broken when I did a search for "matchmaking" and it comes up with 70,000 searches. Ok, that sounds good. Then I look up and see that "jewish matchmaking" is above it in searches. What? How could that be? Then I see how many searches "jewish matchmaking" supposedly had. Over 1.38 million. In one month. Riiiiight. At that point, I realized the the Overture tool was a complete waste. I found a better free tool that I think is working. Wordtracker. You only get a two hour trial, but you can get the trial over and over again. It's pretty powerful.
