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

Another 14 hours into the Niche Site Journal; this brings the total up to 42 hours of work into our niche site.  Our focus during week 3 was on filling up the website with content and adjusting the code to look good.  This entailed content creation, designing images, adjusting the look of the website, setting up the Google adsense banners, and placing the ads onto the site.

Pages for the website

Since we spent the week working on the site, I thought you might find it helpful to know what the website is going look like in regards to number of pages and what they are for.

  1. Home: We are using this as the Welcome page.  It talks about the product (which is our Keyword), we make sure to give it a personal feel, and we mention the reader as much as possible.  Since our site is on pregnancy we congradulate them on their expected child or their loved one’s expected child, make sure they feel we care about them (which we do), and sell them on the idea of the product being important for their health and well being (which it is).
  2. Articles: This page is in a condensed blog format.  This page will have a list of around 5 articles talking about the product. Each will show a headline with a very brief description of the articles topic.  These 5

I have decided to take up the challenge of the Niche Site Duel and in doing so I’ve also decided to drag my wife into it as well. Instead of doing the duel with Leah (my wife) and I trying to build sites at the same time, we are planning to work together on each site including choosing a niche site, writing posts, creating videos, etc, etc.

Each website will be different in that for one we will be mostly be using Pat’s technique and the other one using Tyrone’s.

RULES:

Niche Site Duel with swordsBy far my favorite Internet Marketing blogger right now is Pat Flynn from the Smart Passive Income Blog.  Even though I have been following him for over a year now, I have not had the time to go through all of his pasts blogs.  On his podcast and posts Pat often mentions his Niche Site Duel he had with Tyrone Shum, which starter in August of 2010.  I have finally decided not only should
