Failure to $100 a day, watch me do it!

Day 4

Thanks to the people who have commented in this thread, your support really helps me.

My profile links are done and I have received my report. 145 profile links, 30 are edu with 3 urls in each, I used the urls of sites 3-5 because they aren't ranked for any terms yet. I ran a Scrapebox blast earlier today on my profile links and got 3000 successful posts, right now another SB blast is running with 17000 relevant URLs so I should have at least 6000 successful posts by the time I wakeup.

No one has responded to my inquiry about guest posting to today but I did find a very cool opportunity that will help me out a lot. A PR5 blog in site 2's niche happens to have a guest blogging program that requires you to post one article a week to their site but not only do I get a bio with a hyperlink, but I also get to add my adsense code! So, of course I've signed up for that and am crossing my fingers that I get approved. If I do you can expect my adsense, rank in Google and traffic to explode.

I've also been rewriting some of my articles because as I have mentioned before, the articles I have bought for sites 3 - 5 are pure garbage, they sound like they were by a 3rd grade foreigner in their 1st year of english, they are seriously that bad. So it is unfortunate that I have to write them over, but I've learned from my mistake and won't cheap out on content creation anymore.

I got two adsense clicks today, both on website 2 which has the most traffic. My CPC is pathetic and I need to do something about it, as I think I should be getting at least 30 cents per click. Website 1 has a 98 cent CPC so maybe I should be paying more attention to that site. I've been toying with the idea of turning website 1 and 2 into authority sites with 30 + articles. I think I'll probably do it, they both are practically authority sites already because they have a decent number of posts on them.

Day 5

I was sick today with a fever so I barely got anything done. Only did a single SB blast and I wrote one article. However, I did have a lot of time to think and I've decided that starting tomorrow I'm going to begin implementing Kraftykyles method in his journal. The reason being that these methods should bring me some quick cash which I can use to buy a VPS with SEO tools preloaded on it. Once I have some solid tools I think ranking will be much easier.

Day 6

As mentioned yesterday, today I started doing blackhat methods to get some extra cash for my larger projects. Today I followed Kraftykyles journal and implemented his day 1 method. I've made 3 youtube accounts today and uploaded 5 songs to each with links to a sharecash download. We'll have to see if this makes me anything, it might make a few bucks but Kraftykyles journal really seems to take off later on. We will have to see. For those of you that are wondering, I'm not giving up on my websites I'm just trying some quick cash methods in order to buy a VPS with black hat tools. Expect to see $1.00+ a day in the next week.

I also started doing blog commenting, to get some deep links to my sites. I really hate doing blog commenting because, I always write a good thought out comment, but half the time they are never approved.

start saving generalizing comments for later - so if you remember one that could almost fit in a comment, it's a minute or two you saved. IMHO, when i'm reading blogs or information - i RARELY click on comment url's, but when im youtubing - i'm like the f***ing silver surfer going from one video to another. Maybe somehow make youtube videos, even if it's a bit satire (ie: be a critic of "your" blog but act like your just a viewer, not the owner) - maybe that will get the hamster's wheel spinning =P

I see what your saying but I don't do blog commenting for click through traffic, I do it for the SEO benefit. Thanks for the advice though, I'll try to do more YT backlinking.

Day 7

Here is what has happened, no work has gotten done to today but that is because I've just bought a new computer. This one is a PC so I will be able to run Scrapebox and other software without having to borrow my friends PC. I think that my new computer will really kick off some black hat methods I've got spinning around in my head. I might get my VPS sooner then expected.

Adsense had another crappy day with no money, but I don't care because if Google thinks that I'm just going to continue with this ridiculously low income then they are very mistaken. I WILL NOT GIVE UP! I will make $100 per day.

Good luck to you !

I am using CTR theme on some, with ads above content but below title. One other site has Busybee theme, and another has Heatmap pro. I don't think that is my problem, from what I've heard my layout should give me a maximum CTR. My CPC however varies from an average of $0.09 on my worst site to 0.89 on my best site.

subbed for later, good luck OP

Day 8

I have some good news, I might have just made $50! If you remember, a few days back I contacted a few people about guest posting, so far I received two responses. One person is interested and should be sending me more info soon, the other doesn't need a guest post but is offering $50 a year for a link. This might not sound like much but, it will cover all of my domain costs so I'm really excited to making my first few bucks. Lets hope that this deal doesn't fall through.

Today, was best day in adsense, I made a dollar which is motivating even though it isn't much.

Day 9
Today I uploaded 13 torrents, 10 using the Codec method and 3 with the password protect method. Unless I make a lot of money with this method, I don't think I am going to continue it because I'm nervous going onto all these shady torrenting sites.

I wish I could get a consistent dollar per click, I guess my niches just aren't competitive? If anyone reads this, please give me some advice on how to monetize. Do you think I should try CPA offer?

Day 10

Alright, today was a bad day because I didn't to much of anything. I'll be honest and tell you that I got distracted, however I'm going to be extra productive tomorrow to make up for me being unproductive today.

Day 11

Here is a quick update on my websites. My profile link package that I ordered wasn't able to resurrect 3 of my sites. They are still 100's of pages deep in Google and therefore receive no traffic at all. I am 90% sure they have been sandboxed due to poor content and user experience. It sucks, but it is a lesson learned. I'm not going to completely give up on these sites but I'm not going to put to much effort into them. Once I got my VPS I'll just blast the shit out of them until they either come out of the sand box or get deindexed.

With that said, I've been working hard to try to afford a VPS. I've tried torrent methods, youtube + sharecash method and more but so far I haven't made anything. Today I've been messing around with content creation and signed up for textbroker.com hopefully I'll get something from them.

Day 12
So, today I worked on a new method shared on this forum. It is a combination of bum marketing and coupons. I really like this method and I have decided that I will not work on any other methods until I make money from this one. I'll do a better update when I have something interesting to talk about.

it was fun to read, good luck mate!

Day 13

Today I continued with the coupon method, created two coupons and posts. Not a whole lot got done, because I'm quite bad at designing anything so the coupons literal took three times longer than the posts. My plan is to continue making articles everyday, never stopping until I succeed. I need to hold myself to this because my biggest weakness is my lack of focus or "method add" as some call it. If you've read this thread then you know what I mean!

The site that wants to buy a link from me is still interested and I am expecting to receive payment tomorrow. Can't wait to get that money, even though I'm not sure what to do with it yet.

I've been very excited by adsense lately, although I have yet to make more than a few pennies, my click volume leaves me hopeful. I'm getting close to one click everyday, and almost all these clicks come from the same site so if I could get my CPC up to $1.00 by targeting competitive keywords than I will be making a dollar a day from one site. From there it is just rinse and repeat! I feel like I'm just a few failures away from success.

Day 14

I write another post with the coupon method. I'm happy that I've been able to stick to this method for three days and I hope I can continue to stick with it. One possible problem with the method is that I am not sure if my posts are public or not on the article directory I've been using. This can be easily fixed by using a different directory, so I'm not worried about it.

I wish I was a bit faster at this method though because I would like to be able to write four posts per day as the original method suggests. Tomorrow, I will shoot for two posts and build up from there.

Adsense did very well today! Some of you experienced guys may laugh at me but I'm very happy with my progress. Remember, all of this is for one site. The other four sites are allergic to money although I'm trying to change that.

Here are my average daily stats for the week:
29 Pageviews
0 clicks
2.88% CTR
$0.50 CPC
$14.42 RPM

I've made significant improvements but I still have a long way to go. As always, here are the the stats for today:
Pageviews: 49
Adsense clicks: 3
Adsense revenue: $1.90

Day 15

Had a project for school, so no work was done today. :ugh: Until, I'm making $100 per day the "I've got more important things to do" excuse won't work on my parents for schoolwork. No update for today, sorry!
