Adding a few pagesMy last post on my Niche Site experience was almost 3 months ago. A lot has happened since then not relating to the Niche Site.

As many of you know, my wife gave birth to our first child, we ran a successful Kickstarter campaign, and printed our first comic book.

In other words, we have been insanely busy.

This is why I hope to master niche sites. The opportunity to work on my art and spend time with my family with out worrying about money would be a dream come true. That is why I am trying to make this work and build a passive income portfolio.

Make sure you know why you want to make passive income through Niche Sites. It makes the long hours and lonely nights more bearable.

Thank You to

Ideas

I am constantly bombarded with ideas.  Projects I want to work on, funny photos I would like to create, short videos concepts, blog posts I want to write, etc., etc.

It is a constant struggle to stay focused on finishing the comic book even though the Comic is the thing that needs to get done.  I feel this is my biggest weakness as a businessman, an artist, and as a person.  No matter what I am working on, I can’t stop thinking about all the other things I could be doing or other projects I could start.

The criteria for a side project.

  1. How much time will it take.  My newest thing in time management is leaving a time slot open for side projects.  Right now it is just a few hours on Saturday, but I hope to expand it to an entire day.

We are still puttering along with the niche site and the back linking strategy.  To be honest, I will be glad when it is all over.  I guess this is why everyone says choose something you love.  While I don’t mind doing articles on pregnancy and pregnant woman’s health, it is hard for me to get excited about it.

The only thing keeping me working on this niche site is:

  • I want to see if the strategies for niche sites work.
  • I enjoy learning about putting up niche sites.
  • I feel that my Jason Loves Life readers (you) hold me accountable to see this through to the end.

Find out “What’s my Ranking”

I did a search on YouTube fore “How to find google keyword ranking” and who’s video should appear?  That’s right, Pat Flynn from Smart Passive Income (the dude really is everywhere).

I have Market Samurai, so I am using that software to figure it out.

Here is the video:

Week # 7 (seven) Results

Still working on Back linking

It has been a busy week here at the Love Family Household.  Leah is Coming into her last month of pregnancy and we should have little Everett to take care of some time this month.  We are hoping that if we can crack the Online Marketing Business Code we can spend all our time at home or traveling with our child and possibly make some more children if everything goes well.

Even if we can get our niche site to make us a good part time income we would be happy.  Leah can continue to work at UPS part time (which provides us with Insurance) and I can continue doing magic shows part time.

So, lets see where we are in this Niche Site Journal.

Week # 6 Results

Getting Indexed

We have finally confirmed that we are indexed with Google.  We launched the blog 3 weeks ago, but we waited till 2 weeks ago to use the WordPress SEO PlugIn to register with Google and other search engines.  With article spinning I have found that we already rank on the first page of bing.com, but I am not sure yet on Google or Yahoo.  I am still trying to figure out how to use Market Samurai‘s Rank Tranker tool, but I should have our rankings by next weeks post.

We did try a web tool at http://www.tools4google.com/search-google-position/keyword_tracking.php.  It showed 0 results, but is limits search to the top 1000 positions of a particular keyword on Google.

Writing Content

It has been a rough week trying to figure out the marketing for our niche site.  There is a lot of information and I spent more time watching videos and reading articles then I really should have.  There is a lot of information out there and a lot of people contradicting each other.

I have decided to stick with system Pat Flynn talks about in his www.thebacklinkingstrategythatworks.com article, but with some adjustments.

My back linking strategy is to create original articles; spin those articles; and submit the spin versions to article directors, use some on Web 2.0 properties, and blog sites with all of those articles having links to my niche site.  Then I have to link to these spun articles through article submission software and using social bookmarking.

From Jason and Jeremy’s article on Internet Business Mastery (http://internetbusinessmastery.com/a-quick-start-guide-to-attracting-search-traffic) I tried to diversify the “words” that contain my link to my site.

They suggest:

Disavow Links in massIn my MBA E-commerce class tonight we had a very in-depth discussion about the new Google Webmaster Tools called Disavow Links tool. Before getting into the full conversation, a little background is needed.

Background

Recently Google’s “Penguin” update penalized websites for obtaining poor quality links. Web marketers and blog owners had been using tricks like “comment spamming” or mass article submission to boost their numbers and this update was a way for Google to combat this practice.

In my class discussion, it was the popular opinion that “Penguin” was a good thing because it kept search engine ranks fair to people who had the best site but were not using this tactic to gain their position in search engines.

After we all agreed that it was a smart move on Google’s part our professor brought up Google’s newest announcement about the “Disavow Links” option for Google Webmaster Tools.

When you log into your Webmaster Tools through Google you may get a scary “unnatural links”
