Progress Update – What Day Is It?

Carrie — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 15:03:09 +0000

Well, I don’t have much to report as I have too many balls in the air right now and can’t think straight. I have so much I want to get done but there are only so many hours in the day. I’m feeling extra pressure as I know with the holidays coming up it’s going [...] Related posts:

Progress Update – 1 Site Focus – 5 weeks

Carrie — Tue, 02 Nov 2010 14:02:28 +0000

Wow, it’s been 5 weeks since I announced my plan to focus exclusively on just one of my sites. In some ways it seems like forever and in other ways I feel like I should have gotten a lot more done. I did lose some time being down in the dumps and unmotivated, but [...] Related posts:

Quick Update on October Goals

Carrie — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 13:13:56 +0000

I haven’t posted in awhile so I thought I would just update quickly as there isn’t much to report. Sadly, I had about 2 weeks were I was very unmotivated. In fact, I’m starting to re-think my whole future with IM as my online work and my life aren’t balancing well, but that’s a story [...] Related posts:

Site 1 Focus – Week 1

Carrie — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 14:51:30 +0000

Today is the start of my focus on one site for the next 4 weeks. I will call this “Site 1″ (how is that for original?)

Site 1 is almost 2 years old ( I remember when it was just a baby…sniff, sniff) and primarily monetized with adsense. It’s in a competitive niche and it [...] Related posts:

In Case I’m Not the Only Idiot

Carrie — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 19:06:16 +0000

So there was a buzz recently about changes in search volumes using the Google Keyword Suggestion tool. I even posted here about it and mentioned I didn’t see any changes for my main keywords.

Turns out I missed a key point. You have to use the newer interface of the tool to see the changes. [...] Related posts:

First Week of Semi-Focus

Carrie — Fri, 17 Sep 2010 19:23:20 +0000

Okay, I only have about 30 minutes till the kids are home so let me rattle off a quick summary of my week.

This was my first week without kids and the start of my effort to really get down and dirty and start pushing my earnings. Unfortunately, things haven’t worked out as I planned.

Changing Course and New Frontiers

Carrie — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 12:59:02 +0000

Okay, that title is a bit cheesy but what the heck. On Monday I will start my new plan to be more focused on growing my earnings.

I was hoping to have a more firm plan in place before Monday but this week has been hectic so I’ll firm things up next week. In my [...] Related posts:

Google Revises Search Data?

Carrie — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:37:30 +0000

I think this is great news: http://richquickreview.com/google-keyword-tool-huge-drop-in-search-volume-numbers/

I did a quick check on some of my top keywords and didn’t see a change. Not sure if it is coming, if the change is rolling out, or if only some keywords were affected. What I do know is that I have chosen keywords in the [...] Related posts:

Google Rankings Stuck

Carrie — Sat, 22 May 2010 12:15:27 +0000

Just a quick thought as I haven’t been working much online this week.

First, my main niche site has dropped back to the bottom of Page 2 in Google and seems to be stuck. I do have a few new backlinks dripping out but that doesn’t seem to have an effect. But what is interesting [...] Related posts:

Well, we finally have a signed contract on a new house. I want to be excited but the road to this point has been so rocky that we just need to get past a few more milestones and I’ll be happy. But, I do now need to revise my workload in anticipation of what is [...] Related posts:
