A Blog Consulting Happening
Posted by: | CommentsI guess you could file this article under “so what” but I felt like sharing something that has been happening here on Blog Consulting. We are showing up on the first page for a Google search of “Blog Consulting” every now and again. Here is some pictorial evidence:
Now, granted, Blog Consulting is showing up at the very bottom of page 1, but it is on the page. Why does it even mater? A page one return is the desired result for SEO efforts. The blogs and bloggers who sites show up on page one are an amazing group of blog consultants. I often read their blogs and I know what kind of work they are producing. Just to show up on the same page is what we consider a “happening”. When you work on a blog or website and finally see some Google recognition, it is a very satisfying feeling.
There is an extremely strong possibility that the slide will slide back to page 2 or 3 and then move forward again. Over time I hope to see this Blog Consulting site stay on Page 1 and hopefully move up somewhere in the top three for the keyword phrase “blog Consulting” and “Blog Consultant”. We will keep working and watching!
Blog Consulting presents – Ten Websites for Ten Dollars a Year – Part 3
Posted by: | CommentsIn this blog consulting series we are talking about setting up ten websites for ten dollars a year. We are going to start a group of websites about alternative energy and then we will put adsense on them and find some good affiliate programs to see if we can begin to make some money from the sites.
We need to get a domain name to get things started. This is what we are going to spend the ten dollars on. We are going to do our domain name research at Good News Domains, and then we will purchase the domain name (with tax the domain name will actually cost 10.19, so I rounded down for the title of the series). Good News Domains will then provide us with free hosting for our ten websites. We will set the main one up with the domain name we purchased, and then we will set up the others as sub-domains with the keywords we researched earlier.
Alternative energy is very competitive and so we had to get creative to get a domain name that would work. We finally decided on and purchased Alternative Energy Information (www.alternativeenergyinformation.net). We will set this site up with the free linux hosting provided by Good News domains. The next step will be to set up the sub-domain sites. This method will work fine as we are going to be expecting the search engines to bring traffic to our sites. Over the next couple of week we will be getting the following sites going.
Renewable Alternative Energy
Future Alternative Energy
etf Alternative Energy
Mutual Fund Alternative Energy
Business Alternative Energy
Alternative Energy Funds
Alternative Energy Investments
Alternative Energy Stocks
Alternative Energy Sources
Getting these sites started will require us to create MYSQL databases and then installing Wordpress for each of the sites. This process is really fairly easy once you get used to it. It requires some knowledge of how to use FTP (file transfer protocol), and how to unzip files. Good News Domains provides an FTP program or you can use Firezilla or any other FTP program you are comfortable with. We will continue this blog consulting series of articles after we get the sites up and running.
Blog Consulting presents – Ten Websites for Ten Dollars a Year – Part 2
Posted by: | CommentsWe are writing a series of articles on blog consulting about the benefits of starting a lot of websites to prode an income stream from the Internet. We are going to work through the process of starting ten websites for ten dollars a year.
There are a lot of things we will have to cover in tghis series. We will discuss how to get ten websites for ten dollars, how to set them up, and we will talk about the process of what kind of websites to start. We want to create websites that will eventually develop traffic and that have some adsense value.
Let’s start by talking about Adsens value. Google has a great little tool available that is called the Goodle Adwords Keyword tool. You can access it at https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
This tool is designed for the people are going to advertise with Adwords but it works very nicely for giving you some idea of the value of certain keywords. What we need to find out is if the keywords we are going to use on our sites have any measurable traffic, and what the going rate for a click for that keyword is.
By typing in a keyword phrase and checking out its estimated CPC we can get a rough idea of the adsense value for a keyword. After much blog consulting thought, I have decided to demonstrate this process with the keywords alternative energy. While this is a very competitive keyword, which is not one I would suggest for anyone, it shoud make an interesting demonstration site and perhaps ultimately I will be able to sell the site to someone who is trying to promote an alternative energy business in the future.
The Google keyword tool tell me the following about “alternative energy”
The important numbers are the estimated CPC $1.89 and the search volume, 368,000. The higher the two numbers are the better, but, the keywords will be way more competitive. Our strategy is going to be to look down on the list of related keywords and look for keywords that have a high CPC and a reasonable amount of monthly searches. We are going to try and find ten keywords that fit our profile and then we will begin the process of starting the sites.
Some promising keyword possibilities that fit our profile are:
Renewable alternative energy, CPC 2.99, Searches 8100
Future alternative energy, CPC 5.78, Searches 1000
etf alternative energy, CPC 3.60, Searches 1600
We will continue to research the keywords and come up with a list of ten and then we are going to go shopping for a suitable domain name in our next blog consulting article.
