The next site I set up was Antique Collectible Auction ( Site Map )

I have lost all interest in this site. Its just not inspiring me. You can see the site is getting spidered though.

I updated this site to V3.0 and added sitewide Keywords. ( My favorite part of V3)

Costs $7.0?

OK since Mark exposed this site it’s next Asus Ecobook  ( Site Map )

I put the site up the same day as Lionel Train Auctions

Costs $7  No sales but lots of traffic. This product (Ecobook) dosnt even exist. It is in development. When I heard about Asus I went and grabbed a dozen or so domains for Asus. So trying to compete with me will be fruitless. I also have had issues with new category numbers on the site so it’s been on and off line. It had 377 visitors in one day. I credit Stumble Upon and USFREEADS for this. By the time the Ecobook comes out the site should be on Google page one for 20+ keyword Phrases

Cost $7.0? for domain

I found this domain whilst researching something else. I’m addicted to buying domains now. 12 Step Program needed. It’s been up for about 10 days.

Iv’e been to busy to do much template work. Just some minor things to make the sites presentable so they may convert a sale.

Please when you visit any of our sites please stay 30 seconds or more. The Google bounce rate. Keeping your bounce rate down is very important. It shows the search engines that you have relevant content that user are using. Googles Mission is to provide relevant content to its users.

Here are just some of the tools I Use

Go Daddy,Host Gator USFREEADS , WordTracker , Directory Submitter , Google Trends , Stumble Exchange  , Incent Rewards Affiliate  , CJ, Amazon Affiliate Program. I try not to use adsense except for impression purposes. I have a list of directories that I use aswell.
I am in the process of joining other affiliate programs and site submission directories

I must say I credit lots of the site traffic you see to StumbleUpon and Digg. Some say social bookmarking isnt targeted traffic, but I see traffic going through my blogs to my sites. I’ve been blogging for a few years and have some established blogs that I have been Stumbling my longtail keywords on. These blogs have been on page one with the keyword phrases in less than a hour after putting them on Stumble Exchange. Users are following my Keyword Anchor Text to the sites. What I do is a Keyword Blog Title , Keyword anchor text to site in the 1st sentence. And I use the same text in the title on blogs, forums and Stumble Exchange or any place I promote. If I can send them directly to the site I do. Its easier to get a backlink to a blog so I just promote the heck out of the Longtail Phrases anyway I can. I will write about something I saw on TV at 5AM then sneak in the anchor text. I write lots stuff. Here’s one method. You know I found a post of mine I wrote 5 years ago on page one yesterday whilst I was waiting for the issues to be fixed at the bans forum. I haven’t even opened that blog in a year. Just shows the strength of blogs.

Have Great Day.
