9 December 2007 - My Second Week of my new career.....

So another week down, as we head in to xmas and the domain buying continues! Importantly I sold my first ever domain this week. Colonising.com was sold on Ebay, exactly one week after registering it for $10 I was able to sell it on Ebay for $25. Ok not a huge sum of money but that sale has now provided me with some money to buy more sites.

As mentioned in my last blog entry I wanted to see if I could buy some more keyword specific websites, put some content on them and some adsense advertising and see what would happen. So this week I bought another two domain names, after a lot researching (my whole saturday) I was able to buy AntiFreeSpyware.com and BalanceNewShoes.com - I know not the most exciting names but if I am researching correctly, and doing the right things I will hopefully start to see revenue soon.

Using the Channels on my google adsense account has been a great find and I am continuing to monitor the success of my other names. I have also noticed that since completely restructuring Buythemap google is still yet to index my site and so a lot of my pages are currently listed wrongly on google, and so I think once this is updated I should see my sites feature higher in searches and thus more traffic and better pagerank for the buythemap network.

Finally I set up one of my sites Plooka.com to have content around Tramadol, this drug creates huge bidding wars for adwords (about $4 a click) keyword so if I can drive some traffic to plooka hopefully I will get some big clicks on this site.

Therefore this weeks revenue was a measly $2.50 although my pages were there busiest ever and I recieved more clicks than the previous week. Plus the $15 I made from selling a site. Although I bought two new ones so I broke about even!
