A New Blog And A New Challenge!

This blog came about because I bought this really naff domain last year and used it for a bunch of free products to help build a list. Then I  saw that my other blogs were starting to do well and was itching to build another with this great flexibility theme.

You see I like experimenting with different things and learning. I decided to set myself a challenge and that was to get a PR of at least 2 and an Alexa ranking of less than 300,000 within 6 months. On 28/2/09 and day one of this blog the PR is a big fat zero and the Alexa ranking is 7,094,643 – easy peasy!

Before I started my challenge I needed to decide what the blog was going to be about. I guess that the domain gave me a clue. Friends help each other and Internet marketing aint that easy so why not make it a place where my visitors and myself can help each other by recommending free, low cost and genuinely useful products and services.

Decision made, I can start thinking about traffic. This domain has only been getting on average 17 visitors a month for the last 6 months so my initial aim is to double that within the first week and then 17 a day by the end of next month. After that a gradual increase until I hit my targets.

The first thing that I’m going to do to get traffic is add some more content. Google likes content and will certainly send some visitors my way if I add enough varied content on a regular basis. Where do I get  content from? An article directory, and as I happen to own one I know exactly where to lay my hands on some good material.
