Alright it has been a month since I've did an update on BFRLN.

Joined BFRLN 0n 1-03-08, did an update on about 2-03-08 that is available in this thread if anyone wants to see my progress in the last month.

So here goes:

-170 sites indexed
-none deindexed to date

Commission from 2-3-08 to 3-3-08 = $139.44
Adsense from 2-3-08 to 3-3-08 =$86.97

Total earnings for last month = $226.41 (These #s include money made today as of 5:58PM EST/U.S.A)

So I grossed enough to pay my bill, which is $675 every 3 months = 225/mo

Something interesting, I have averaged $4.00 a day on adsense the last 7 days, this is a big jump compared to the rest of the month.

**All my commissions are coming from ebay, None of my shareware sites have made me 1 penny and a couple are getting 8 to 10 hits a day, wtf? I'm gonna leave these for now but I am very unhappy about this.

**I have 5 Amazon sites up and have not had 1 visitor, they are indexed and I am having no luck. If anyone in the BFRLN is making money with Amazon stores I would appreciate knowing as something is obviously wrong. I am going to recheck these sites to see if my ID or associates number is wrong.

Now day dreaming here only - with a 177 sites making me $226.41 which equals roughly $7.50 a day once I get up to 400 sites approximate returns
off the top of my head would return about $19.00 per day X30 = $570.00 per month without cutting out the non earners.

$570-$225 cost = $345.00 gross. Is it worth it?

Only speaking for myself it is a lot of work, that being said if I can tweek 400 sites and they are all producing $1.00 a day as an example 1.00 X 400 = $400 per day, I can't even dream that to be honest but lets cut the number in half to an ave of each site making .50 cents a day thats $200 per day

As I said I am dreaming. But I month a go I said I needed to ave 7.50/day and I am doing it.

My take is you and I both know this can be a money maker, it will depend on how much I tweek my sites once I get to 400.

That being said my traffic is dependent on the BFRL network which means I am not in control and would never rely on this as permanent.

Now on the other hand this opportunity is billed as set and forget. If I can make make even $500/mo doing nothing, I don't know about you but I'll take it.

**I now believe if the BFRLN keeps doing what it is doing and I keep working I will make much more than $500/mo.**

Ok now if you have read this thread you know I am no expert, but here is how I get all my niches--> ebay, I have said in the past I will not hold anything back and in my last update I was having a lot of problems with niches.

This is what I do:

-go to buy.ebay.com/ and dig in, once I pick something out

-I google the niche and see how many ads there are on the right side of page, to me this means this niche has buying customers if people are paying to have their ads shown. I don't go ahead with the niche if their aren't enough paid ads.

-I run it through ebay and see what kind of interest is there, if its good

-I run the keyword through micronichefinder to pick out good keywords.

I then build the sites, making sure to change up the templates to try to disguise the footprints.

Then I move on and repeat.

Well I think that is it. I have no affiliate links as I am not pushing anyone to take this on, all commissions and adsense numbers are true.

Feel free to ask a question taking in consideration that these numbers are nothing to brag about but I will never lie with an answer I simply will tell you I don't know.

Peace and safety and I shall be back in 1 month for my next update.
 
Just advice,use less youtube website.i have more than 10 site that had ban by google.it's ok at the first time,but when the visitors increased(more than 5k/day),it's eazy to got ban from google.
 
thanks for your update bactboats.

are you using long tail keywords or words falling in the "middle" somewhere?
i am curious lately about how they get traffic and i dont think a lot of it even comes from the search engines so i want to try using wider niche words instead of longtail type words that have less interest.
 
What's up gts6, good to hear from you, hope all is well inside and outside of IM.

I would definitely say longtail keywords, minimum of 2 words, usually 3, but sometimes even 4. (I don't know if this is correct but I am considering 3 words to be longtail.)

I am not tracking for every keyword so I can't say 100% the exact numbers, but just taking a quick look at a few keyword lists in different niches 3 words is by far dominate.

Hope this helps and let us know if you have any success with the Amazon stores.

ive been using longtail as well for the most part, but as i stated i am gonna try some wider niches to see what happens. i think it may get the interest of a lot of people who are being driven to the sites from the bookmarking methods they use to generate traffic.

i havent done anything with the amazon stuff, and i probably never will. they will only pay out a small amount like 4%. i can sell the same item with ebay store and make a lot more, especially if it is a new sign up. so i will probably not even ever waste my time with those.
 
All right this is my 3rd update and unfortunately my last as far as a member of BigFatRichLoser.

Here are my exact stats for the month of March:

Adsense revenue - $170.78

Commissions - $468.96

Total gross income for March - $639.74

Now to me these numbers look awesome from the outside. I mean damn if I
Could build on March's numbers I would have re-upped for 3 more months
at $675.00/3mo ($225/mo but you are required to pay for 3 months).

Understand I made a little money in eBay at one time and a little money and
Still do in writing articles but nothing steady so I can't get on this forum and
Say I made $100,000/yr or my PayPal account has a quarter mil in it. So when
I say $639.74 looks awesome; I'm not kidding!

Now here's the down fall ? My adsense income totaled $170.78 for March but
in a 10-day period near the middle of the month I averaged $10.00 to $13.00 per
day so I was ramping it up right, WTF I mean in one day and till the end of the month
my income dropped to an average of $2.25 per day. I have no idea why? My hits
dropped wickedly as well as clicks dropped obviously.

Now noticing this when the drop first started to happen, I tried to see if anything
Was obviously wrong such as sites de indexed. Dammit I checked every domain,
All 280 and besides the ones I put up near the end and may not of had time to get
indexed, the balance were NOT de indexed ? not one of them WTF!

So I contacted a fellow BFRLN member whom I won't mention as I did not ask
Permission to use his name and we had exchanged email in the past so I have no
Reason not to believe him if his numbered had drastically dropped off and he
reported his numbers were good. So I guess because I don't know any better it was
me?? I did something wrong so I emailed Peter of BFRLN with I think about 7
days left and asked for advice because my numbers had become so poor that I was
not 100% sure I would even break even for the next 3 months, I also made it clear
I would not, no could not go again due to drop off unless I could change it quick
? He never responded.

Now saying all this I am not blaming Peter, in the past I have stated he was quick
to respond to help and did what he said he would, which was send traffic. That being
said he did not respond to my last request and I really wanted him to because I
believed this opportunity to be the real thing.

So there it is, everything I have just reported is true to the best of my knowledge.
If Peter is a member I welcome him to correct any incorrect information I have
Stated, if I had received information that this happened to other members I guess
I would hold him a little more responsible.

As far as my commissions they dropped but not near as drastic as my adsense.

Good luck to everyone in BFRLN hope you guys keep use informed and good
Luck to everyone in BHW.
 
Just read over this entire thread. Sounds great, but there haven't been any real updates other than the last one in awhile.

So, what about any honest updates on this? Can anyone else post their stats in an honest way so that a noob can make a good decision on joining this?
