As I mentioned in the previous post - I’m now in the 50/100 challenge - to have 50 sites earning $100 a day by the end of the year.
Since I have close to 50 sites, the thing to do now is to promote them. I’ve decided that since there are as many weeks left in the year as there are sites of mine, that I’m going to spend one week promoting each site. So I’m putting together a weekly checklist of just how to go about this:
01 Sign up for regular ol’ link exchanges at The SiteSell Value Exchange.
02 Look for a few good sitewide exchanges at the Digital Point Link Exchange forum.
03 Submit site to a few good directories.
04 Post 10 good, relevant, blog comments on other related blogs with a link back to one chosen “product page.”
05 Have three articles written for distribution to a few good article sites.Â
06 Go through pictures at SXC and add comments with the URLs.
07 Post a link exchange proposal here each week.
On top of promoting one site each week, I’m also going to keep on adding to my Household Appliance Orig. Content Site just to see what happens when you make one site really big.
And, I am also going to be writing articles for a new site - the site that I expect to be the very best of all of my sites.
As for promoting one site each week - I’m going to start with the ones with the highest PR - because it’s easier to get good partners when you’ve got decent PR, and just work on down from there.
I’m starting with the household appliance site for this week since I’ve already been promoting it.

sometimes the best ideas are the simplest ones.
a link building, systematized, checklist, who would have thought, lol, awesome
On step 4, “Post 10 good, relevant, blog comments”, do you look for blogs that don’t use no follow or does it not matter.
I tend to lean towards it doesn’t matter, but I’m curious what you look for through the lens of it’s a backlink.
thanks for the list

Haha, well I’m a list-type of person (nerdy)
- I was actually going to just post on relevant blogs without looking for a nofollow - I suppose it would be better if I looked for that, though. And I really dread the blog posting, but I want to cover all of my bases.
If you have other ideas and ways of link-building, let me know!

the “search status” plugin for firefox has the option to show nofollow links so there isn’t really any looking for them, they show up in pink
link building, nothing off the top of my head but maybe leverage this blog to find link partners.
I will probably make a list like this for “pages”.
I like your 50 site challenge, however I would rather try a “50 page” challenge. Create a list on why you write the content, why you picked the keywords etc.
I might try to get 50 pages earning $1 per day or whatever. Then my link building efforts will won’t be spread out.

Hey Mark, that’s what I’d heard about FireFox - I don’t use it, but maybe I should start…
I hadn’t even thought of using this blog - that might work though!
You know, the 50 page thing really is a good idea - and that’s why I’m also going to be promoting several pages of one particular site throughout this whole thing.

You should at least install firefox to see what your sites look like in it, you may like it too
got anything in the footwear niche?
Jennifer // Feb 1, 2007 at 8:51 pm
I do have a fairly new shoe site - only PR2 right now, though - shoeguide DOT net
mark // Feb 1, 2007 at 8:56 pm
k, I’ve got 5 shoe sites “in development” (bought them from david getchel recently, mostly placeholders, need to write content(one isn’t even on my servers yet ;-)).
three-no pr
one - pr3
one-pr2
If you want to link up just tell me when and how.

Sure - I’m going to have my writers add more to mine eventually, too - do you want to do a sitewide footer exchange? Those seem to work really well for me - I’d be up for another type of exchange too.
I also have a golf site if you want to exchange with it: golfingeighteen DOT com
mark // Feb 1, 2007 at 9:21 pm
sure, I’ll go golf site for golf site in footer.
as for the shoes, you pick the one you want to swap with
I’ll get them up after I make (and eat) some dinner
Jennifer // Feb 1, 2007 at 10:10 pm
Cool, I’ll do a trade with one or more of the shoe sites if you want? - I’m at work and can’t get into my CPanel from here - so I’ll get yours up later tonight or in the morning.
Sounds great - thanks!

[...] In yesterday’s post on promoting, I asked for link exchange ideas - and Mark came up with an easy one I hadn’t even thought of - which is doing some promoting here. So each week I’ll offer up a site for exchanges with those who want to. [...]

added your shoe site to the pr3 clog site
added your golf site to my golf shoe site
sorry, but I didn’t have any the niches you mentioned in the next post, but good luck
Jennifer // Feb 1, 2007 at 11:40 pm
Thanks! I’ll let you know when I can get yours up
Jennifer // Feb 1, 2007 at 11:43 pm
Oh, I meant to ask - you haven’t had a problem with linking your sites together? If not - I like what you’re doing!
There’s a site that ranks number one in Google for a keyword that I’m trying to promote that does the same thing, so I thought that if the niches were closely related, it might be ok, but was always afraid to try it.

never interlink any more sites than you are willing to lose at one time. I’ve never lost any, but I’ve seen that advice.
they were newbies so it wasn’t a big deal.
I do do link 2 or 3 together sometimes, making a node, but never then link the nodes to other nodes.
Jennifer // Feb 2, 2007 at 2:52 am
That sounds like good advice… makes me want to experiment with it…
I’ve got your link up now - thanks!
