Money and Mind

The free traffic experiment continues. After an initial alarming dip in visitors, when I turned off Google Adwords, I’m pleased to see that daily numbers have steadied and are now very slowly, beginning to rise again.

It will take a month or two to get back to where it was before, but I can now see that the slow and steady approach using articles and press releases, definitely does work.

The steady rise of my Alexa ranking has slowed as well, as I knew it would, but I’m still proud of my score at 849,345.

What a very interesting day it has been. I have been concentrating on learning about how to drive traffic from Hub Pages and Squidoo.com.

I’ve been reading about using the latest websites to help you build a viral loop.

Check out my efforts at my new Hub Page and my Squidoo Lens to see what I’m talking about - I’ll let you know how much traffic this begins to generate over the next few weeks.

By the way, what do you all think of the new header graphic on the website?

The front page revamp continues. I have now completed and loaded up the new e-course  7 Easy Ways to Have A Great Day.  It is available to anyone who subscribes to the newsletter and it is completely free.

Phase 2 of the redesign is also complete, now that I have uploaded the new header design. I’ve gone for visually stating the obvious by including a graphic of a stack of dollar bills and a brain on the right hand side; Money and Mind, see?

Simple, but effective.   I like it anyway.

The Adsense revenue continues to rush in! Well, OK, trickle then. It’s up to $1.90 now and as I said in an earlier post - that’s at zero cost to me.  As the traffic builds, so too will the money I’m assuming.

I’m off now to study some more on increasing blog links.

I’m excited to find that my site Money-and-Mind has finally registered on Alexa and I now have a traffic rank for the first time! OK, OK I’m only ranked at number 2,245,649 but there are plenty of other sites out there with lower traffic than that and, hey, Money-and-Mind has only been online since June 21st - so Im pretty pleased with myself.

Phase 1 of the front page revamp is almost complete and I’ll be rolling out my new sign-up bonus later today. It’s a 7 part e-course that I’m really pleased with, called ” 7 Easy Ways to Have A Great Day”

I’ll be posting again later when it goes live.
