Cheers, James! That is a great list of suggestions!
I am happy to say that I have been doing most of these things already. I am still concerned because after 7 weeks of hard work, I have not made any money at all yet, but I have refined my projects to focus on one site and series of products (with blogs and articles pointing to that site, adsense ads on the way (waiting for Google approval) and basically following many of the suggestions listed in your post. Fingers crossed. I will probably post the second I see a dime show up in my account.
What I wanted to ask was your opinion (and this goes for all, of course) on my concentrating on on site. I am planning on getting this series of promotional projects in place and then letting the project grow on its own while I work on another one or refurbish an old one that seems to be doing fairly well traffic-wise, although I am leaning towards forgetting all the first efforts and just chalking them up to learning experience and focusing on one more good series of products and a new site and have two major projects going at all times.
Does this seem like a sound plan or, as a n00b am I biting off more than I can chew? Don't forget I am a panicky work-o-holic with no money eating bananas every day for the last five weeks. Seriously. I am ready to work!
Okay. Let me have it. I can take it.
With that said, speaking as a n00b: I would have done simply a week's more research before I started and I would have concentrated more on one main project and one smaller project (to keep things fresh and have a back-up.) Instead I tried everything each time I learned a new trick - posting articles to about 65 sites, placing tons of US Free Ads for tons of products (okay, well about 40 ads for ten products, but you get the idea,) and making two blogs, one multi-page site, and writing four articles per product. I needed someone to tell me it was okay to stop and stick with one project.
Okay. I'll stop rambling.Thanks again!
Will
