hey guys is 33000 global monthly searches for a keyword considered good?
[Journal/Method/spoonfeed] The 'Crashed Challenge' 30 Days to Money...
- Thread starter crashed
- Start date
I had upgraded statpress and it was fine, but today has dissappeared from my menu.
Before I read crashed's advice I tried to upgrade wordpress- but it didn't happen- did the automatic update and it just stayed on 'unpacking.....'
But now wordpress is not publishing my scheduled posts and my twitters already tweet about them! grr. it won't let me publish them manually now.
Any advice

If it's exact searches, yes it is good.
It depends how much competition that the keyword has, if it has a lot of competition (with a search result that high, this is likely) then it will be harder for you to get a good ranking with your keywords.
What you want, or what i have should i say, is a smaller search, about 3000 global monthly, and this will have a lower competition. This is what makes it a niche
Hope this helps

Thanks for the help. Adwords shows the competition to be low and my site recently started ranking on the fifth page. Is this good? sorry if this a stupid question, i'm new to keywords and all
PS it is not exact searches, if it matters

Is there a website or a software which tells me exactly which page my website is on Google? I am trying to search my website for my keywords but looks like it is somewhere down there on Big G

I use a software called rank tracker- it's free and works =D

Update: I have been working with twitter for the past few hours, I am coding a change to Twit It Away whilst also attempting to write Day 14 and failing miserably! I am going try and make the change to TwitItAway so that it is re-enabled before the holiday weekend...

Are you sure that RankTracker doesn't say "Not in the top 100"?

Hi guys, i have 3 sites which im applying this challenge to. Is it okay to create several twitter and fb pages for each of my sites using the same pc/IP? Or should i use proxies? Thanks!!
Day 14: You have mail...
Today was supposed to be all about mail, however you know plans only last as long you are planning them... There are a couple of things that I want to follow on from Day 13 first, and then we'll talk about mail.
Twit It Away Update...
I am currently talking with the twitter team, I have to make tweets editable by the user so will be changing up some code tonight as well introducing a couple of extra bits and pieces (like the featured products on the right sidebar for those sites/products that I just think are exceptional). Also I've let my designer lose on the design so it will also be looking a lot prettier soon...
Statpress Visitors Update Error
If you upgrade Statpress and Wordpress to the latest versions which were released at nearly the same time Statpress V will vanish from the Admin menu. The developer is aware of this and is looking for a fix at the moment, I am waiting to hear back on an estimated timeframe at the moment.
Even though the menu item is missing you may still be able to access Statpress by changing the URL in the address bar to yourdomain.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=statpress-visitors/statpress.php
I will keep you updated as and when I learn more.
Plimus Product
Something I see being asked a lot is now that now we have approval for our plimus products, is how do we start making money with them?
A lot of products on Plimus, Clickbank etc do not have banners within the affiliate network site. Instead it is generally accepted that banners are provided by the product creator. These may be accessable through a website URL provided in the product description, or by an Affiliate Link at the bottom of the product page.
If they do not have a affiliate section with pre-made banners you are generally free to create your own. Alternatively even easier is writing a review post specifically about the product and putting the affiliate link as a "Click here to get xyz for yourself now". In fact pre-sells work wonders on the conversions for most products, kinda like our best books for... post.
Google Plus - The new social network...
As with everything google, the initial beta stage is invite only, get yourself on the list for the next newest hottest social network to launch... (Circles have amazing power...).
I know its long, however it'll be worth it as it is where the buzz is going be once they go fully public!
Setting up your mailing list
There are several email/newsletter/autoresponder companies out there, however for White Hat sites like ours I believe there is none better than MailChimp. They offer their service for free up to 2000 subscribers and 12,000 emails per month. However they are not for spammers or people doing BH as you will get banned so fast!
P.S. MailChimp have their own awsome video tutorials here: http://mailchimpacademy.blip.tv/ - Would recommend you take a look!
How to sign people up
A list is useless without subscribers, however there is always great debate on the best way to build a list. Obviously each email you send may potentially cost you money, so you want to get subscribers that interact with you and that are interested in what you have to say.
There is great debate about the best way to do this, I personally like giveaways and competitions with prizes related to the niche to give a email list a great head start. However you can also offer people a free special report for joining your list, and the great thing is this is just another (longer) article of around 1500-2000 words. Make sure you use a larger font and use double line spacing to spread it out over more pages, after all a exclusive 10 page training programme sounds better than a 2 page training program.
Alternatively you could even set this up to be delivered in parts through an autoresponder (more on this below). In order for someone to do something there has to be a percieved value (i.e. you are doing the challenge because you percieve it to make you money). Have a think about what you can give to encourage your users to join your list.
Twit It Away Thank You Page
I would highly recommend that you add a Email Signup form to your TwitItAway product download page. Use something like "Signup to my email list to be notified about other great products"...
An autoresponder is a method to schedule emails to be sent automatically after a certain time has passed from a previous action or email. They were all the buzz back when I first started, however now they have a really bad name for Black Hat stuff.
Using an autoresponder on a White Hat site can work, however if you want to go down this route be prepared to put some work into it. The easiest type of auto responder to create is a training or how-to guide. Lets look at an example for the Best Football Goals.
If we pick a title like "12 Week Training Guide to Improve your Football Skills" we are implying that it is value because it is a 12 week guide, it's related to our niche, and they only get it by signing up to our autoresponder list. The beauty about autoresponders is you can create them as you go, so each week you can add another email to the autoresponder. And the email is basically just an article sent by email...
Moneytizing an autoresponder is easy, you simply plug an awsome clickbank/plimus/amazon product every few emails. If you've given the reader 3 or 4 weeks of quality content then you will have also built up some trust, and recommending a awsome product that you think will help them will benefit you both.
There are times where you should avoid autoresponders like the plague however, personally I will never use an autoresponder with CPA offer. Or for sites where I cannot provide at least 12 weeks of content at 1 email/week. No autoresponders for making money because then your just trying to be a guru (and we all know I hate guru's). No autoresponders for adsense sites.
Summary
Today has been slightly condensed as I am still working with twitter to negotiate acceptable terms for Twit It Away usage. Obviously I will keep you updated on this, and hope to have a suitable resolution soon.
In terms of Day 15 which was scheduled to be a live seminar, I am wondering if it may be most appropiate to hold this on the Saturday or Sunday to allow those with work commitments or dodgy timezones to attend? I was thinking something like 5pm GMT this Sunday? Let me have your thoughts!

Day 15: Live Mastermind Session
Day 15 is special as it is a live mastermind session, hopefully after the session I will be able to post the entire event here... No promises though so you should probably try to attend!
The date: Sunday 3rd July 2011
The start time: 5pm British Summer Time
The end time: When you get bored...
Number of places: 100 (this is a gotowebinar limit not mine!)
Registration: http://rfurl.net/day15
The first 100 people to log on Sunday will be allowed into the Live Webinar, after that it will not let anyone else in... Registration therefore does not guarauntee a place, it just unlocks the door.
There is also a password which I will post either Saturday Night or Sunday Morning...
Interaction
If there is any questions or things you want me to cover or you want me to use your site as a demo site email me at crashed ..at.. crashedchallenge.info
Summary
Don't miss out...
