Where I'm at and Where I'm Going

To update:

My sites are up and running. I am also babysitting two children four days a week besides taking care of my own two. I'll let you know how I manage this in another post.

I have used PPC with limited results so far, and they're on hold at the moment as I can easily get the clicks, but not the conversion to sales. I have a newsletter for my affiliate site and I have over 200 subscribers since the beginning of January. I am now focusing my attention on these individuals and others like them who are far more targeted to my service and products than the average browser. I have found great resources for free marketing, and I'll gradually inform you on how they work and what to do.

Right now, quality visitors is my focus.

To start, I've become well versed in the power of creating articles for ezines. The amount of power they have is clearly seen just by the simple fact that as long as you remember to post your articles with your website link (Don't forget the http://) it will count as a link to your site.

I noticed that the first two articles that I posted to sites like IdeaMarketer.com and Ezine Articles.com increased my links by two - four within a day or so. You can check your links at Google by typing link:www.your-name.com in the search engine. Search engines like Google and Yahoo prefer sites that are heavily linked to, and this way you don't have to wait for others to do it!

So I've written 3 for my affilaite business and 2 for the home decor site.

I'll let you know how it goes!
