Day 34 - Bum Marketing Adventure
Pretty good day. 4 sales. One lens done and plenty of research and testing.
Good and bad news really...one of my lenses has been pulling in a lot of sales. How many? Probably about half. That's great that a lens is pulling in so much cash, but a little scary, because I can't afford to lose that sucker.
First off, I think I've been able to move my pages up a little. Essentially, there are a lot of untapped social bookmarking sites I wasn't hitting.
My scheme is also an interesting one. I've actually got a couple more pages indexed using it and perhaps it is helping my rankings as well. I'll be testing this a lot for the next few weeks.
Also, I found something rather interesting. A couple nights ago, I had made an MSN space, filled it with articles, and promoted it with some social bookmarking sites to get it indexed. My plan was just to throw some of my lens on there to perhaps get them some traffic and free backlinks. Strangely, this space has received a good deal of traffic...around 100 hits today. I figured it had to be coming from the social sites but a look at the manager msn spaces has and, nope, most of it was coming from google searches. Huh. I literally spent 10 minutes making the space, filling it with articles and social bookmarking it. I had no intentions on it seeing much traffic at all. Perhaps I need to relook this one, heh. Seems as though there are some openings to exploit here.
Also, oddly enough, this site still isn't indexed. I know that, by default, Bloggers don't get indexed, but I changed that value. It seems odd that over a month of updates and Google still hasn't found it. I installed the webmaster code today, so I can see if GoogleBot is getting any errors when it visits...or perhaps it isn't visiting at all.
I might be making an ebook in the coming weeks. I make no promises though, lol. It'll be free to my readers. I realize that I'm not a guru by any means, that's why it'll be free. Still, I've seen plenty of people that don't have any idea on how to make bum marketing work. I've at least cracked the code to making some money, so hopefully I could help others do the same.

Hey Man,
Another great day :) Im starting to get some lenses done but, ive read alittle and some people say make huge content filled lenses and others say do a one pager and move on to the next some will hit it some wont. Whats your take on this? Also do your lens hit the first page right away? I find alot of mine started on the second or third and creeping up a page a day kinda weird.
Thanks,
