No more chapters

After apparently getting out of the sandbox, I've had much better results with my ranking and traffic. Of course, it's never settled and it bounces around plenty, but I'm relatively happy with it. At this rate the site should at least cover my hosting and other input costs, make even make a tiny profit.

Now that I've tasted a bit of success, perhaps its time to try my luck again. Since my hosting is already paid for (and that's the majority of my costs), adding more sites is a no brainer. Even if they don't reach the same level as my primary site, whatever they make will essentially be profit, plus I can use them to link back to my primary site and increase it's PR.

So I'm in the process of picking up some more domain names and building sites around them. We'll see how it goes.

Chapter 8: Some Success

So after taking some time off from the site to do things like, oh you know, not fail out of college I have some success. All of a sudden, I'm on the first page of my main keyword, up from around page 15. What did I do? Nothing. So it seems that once my site got old enough it got out of the sandbox and up on the listings.

We'll see how plays out.
