Week 5 Update

Ok this week , I have been submitting articles as per usual using Article Post Robot. Not as many as I would have liked, only did 5 this week but nevertheless, traffic is still being generated from them. I love this tool, as I stated last time if you haven't got this software you are missing a major trick.

I have also been submitting Article Land to directories using Directory Submitter. It is not like the totally automated tools that get you banned by Google, but it does save a lot of time. Again, worth the investment.

Found a new website value tool at http://www.glurk.com/. Used it to create a baseline for the site. So let's look at the stats to see whether the work I've done this week has paid off.

Update on the stats:

Google PR = 3 (No change)

Alexa Rank = 698,346 (Up 29,175 points or 4.17% on 3 month average)

Link Popularity:

Google = 34 (No Change)

Yahoo = 990 (+70.1%)

All The Web = 264 (+36.08%)

Altavista = 1050 (+62.29%)

Article Land Stats

Number of Articles =12056 (+8.93%)

Number of Authors = 2009 (+7.6%)

Average Number of Visits per day = 599 (+5.83%)

Average Adsense Revenue = $9.14 per day (+11.19%)

Web Site Value = $3,356

OK the Google rank isn't going to change until the next quarterly Google update. Even then it may stay the same. The Alexa rank is still creeping up on the 3 month average. I am expecting it to jump quite considerably as we get towards Christmas as the 3 month average contains a lot of data before I started the promotion process.

Backlinks have shot up quite considerably, especially in Yahoo & Altavista. I have managed to generate 881 extra backlinks this week alone!!!

The Article Land stats are increasing steadily at just below 10% per week. This is good steady progress, which will provide good long term stability.

Adsense revenue has increased, albeit by an average of $0.30 a day. Steady income from one site averaging around the $9 per day mark over the week. On 2 of the days it was over $13.

For the website value, I used the tool at http://www.glurk.com/. Although the accuracy of this evaluation may be suspect, at least it gives a baseline to measure against in future.

OK this week I'm going to continue with Directory Submitter and Article Post Robot to get even more backlinks into Article Land, and hopefully increase the adsense revenue as more traffic is generated.

Enjoy your week and make lots of money.
