How Are My Sites Doing?

Posted on March 5th, 2008 as Goals, Projects

I have mentioned in previous posts that I have a few eBay affiliate sites setup and wanted to give an update on how they are doing. I have been slacking on them because I have been so focused on this site and promoting it. This site has kept me so busy that that my other projects are lacking (I will admit I try to do a lot of projects at once). I have some done some link building on my supplement store and gained some traffic from it but it is still low. The one thing that is hardest for me is getting traffic. It’s not like a normal site or blog so marketing is different. Affiliate marketing is a lot of work but I think it will pay off with time.
For the month of February I made a little under $8. It is a low amount but has been the best month income wise from my sites.  I need to work on generating traffic and writing content. Right now they are setup with the main landing page just showing the items for sale with no content. I have read that adding a few posts can make a difference in generating traffic.

The main income was from eBay commission but I had a little from adsense too. The breakdown is:

eBay:
The Iphone Shoppe: $0.66
Supplement Shop Online: $6.32

adsense:
Porsche Car Sale: $1.00
Supplement Shop Online: $0.49
The Iphone Shoppe: $0.03

For next month my goal is hit $10 from my sites and keep focusing on growing them. My plans are to convert them to more of mini blogs than just eBay landing pages.

I also am working on a launching another blog about weight loss and weight loss help. I also plan to launch a blog with it as well. I already have the domains and have had this plan for a while I am just still working on getting it ready. I hope to launch the new site in the beginning of April.  My goals for this month are set high so we shall see if I can accomplish everything.

    You’re doing better than a lot of other people when they first start out! I think it’s really great how you set goals for everything you do and just work on improving. It really helps to determine you more and keep you track. I’ve set goals for my blog in terms of this YEAR, but never monthly goals, and I haven’t set goals for my other projects either. You inspire me to do that though. :)

    As long as you are consistent, I’m sure you can do better in the near future. There’s a lot of work involve so we just need to focus and stay resilient..

    Good Luck Bud!

    Its a great way to measure your success with monthly goals. It gives you more of a guideline to stay on path where in a year a lot can happen and you can be on track or be horribly off track.

    Have you tried using any pay per click ads? Free traffic is a terrific long term strategy, but there’s nothing like getting targeted traffic TODAY. I started on PPC but now I’m trying to stretch my legs with free traffic…
