I hate the Internet

June 7th, 2009 No comments

Yes, I said it! You read right. I hate the internet.

I’ve been dreaming to write this post for many years and I finally have a chance.

There is just too much information (and too little hours per day). Everytime I’m searching for new infromation, I end up downloading tons of new ebooks and softwares. Every ebook that I read, I end up opening 5 new websites, each of this websites leading to others and so on.. So much time wasted.

I know most people say, just stop reading and downloading those ebooks, but, it’s hard, it’s damn hard. I just want to know more and more.

When things start to work in the Internet Marketing / PPC world, I guess this information is less attractive, since you already know what you are doing and you can be more specific with the information you search, but before you begin, you try to learn every piece of information you can to save you from making future mistakes and make profits quicker.

Got it out of my systems, now I can go back to install some more applications and read some more ebooks :)

My first sale ever!!!!

June 6th, 2009 No comments

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAA BABY :)

Unbelievable, one week after opening this blog, 1 week after my first post in this blog and opening my first niche website, I can already write my “first sale” post. Let’s hope I won’t need to do” my first refund” or “my first chargeback” anytime soon.

This is my first ever sale in a project I did all by myself, and I’m thrilled. I had very little traffic, all coming from Yahoo Answers (still no love from Google), and it seems 9 of them clicked to one of my affiliate links, but one of them went all the way and bought the item. That’s 1 people out of 9 who pressed the button, thats incredible.

I actually started to think this service was a waste of money, since I saw a lot of answers being answered together with my answers, but I guess I was proven wrong, this service already paid for itself.

Google is showing 3 of my pages, but so far didn’t have any organic visitors, I start every morning with searching myself, waiting to see some love.

First on my TODO, need to add a new feature to my site framework, I need to track the original referrer and pass it as “tid” (clickbank tracking id), so I can know where the sale came from. I don’t know if this is possible to do with Google Analytics, since I’m using PHP redirect (no JS is showed to the user) , but I will search, maybe I will find a way to do it in GA.

New category created, “Revenues”, hope this will be the first and not the last post in this category.

nothing yet

It’s been 3 days since I put the site up, and nothing happened yet.

Google still didn’t index me.

I bought 2 banners to add some graphics to the site, another $7. I think it came out very nice.

Not all the services I ordered from DP were done yet. Didn’t receive any report yet, I think tomorrow I’ll email and ask about it.

I can only keep waiting..
