Well… I announced my goal over at the wordpress goldmine forum and being the pushy people that they are over there (and do I ever need that sometimes)  they promptly challenged me to put a date on my goal.  So here it is $50 a day in adsense by building quality sites with quality content by April 15, 2010.    So today….  I was gone a good chunk of the day, but I still got some things done to move me toward my goal.

First, I built a new site and launched it into the world of the internet.  Next, I built a tracking sheet that makes sense for me.  This time I need to stay focused with it, as that always seems to be my issue.  I used Peter’s 120 day plan (Thanks Peter) available for free at the wp goldmine forum and modified it to fit my personality.  He is just way more structured than I am, so I gave it a little more flex, but I think it will still keep me on track on my promotion and building efforts.

Next, I identified a specific site that is doing OK, but has the potential to do GREAT.  This is a hybrid site of Amazon products and adsense and makes me regular money both ways.  My aim with this site is to add targeted keyword content based both from the searches I am getting and some keyword research that I have done.  I will work on this site for at least two weeks to see what happens with it.  Currently I am fighting with wordpress to get my upgrade to look like my preupgrade, and I am not sure what I did wrong.  The constant upgrades is one of the reasons that wordpress drives me crazy – as powerful as it is.

Anyhow I am super sleepy and it is time to go to bed….

Good night world!

Edit: It’s an hour later and I now have 1 new blog post plus some new adverts I am testing on a site that gets 100 visitors a day, but stinks in conversion…. so we will see how that goes… Oh, and I committed the cardinal sin of blogging and did not tag this post at all… so I am doing that now.
