Wow, SEO Is Time Intensive Sometimes
Echoed from my other blog… in actuality, I’ve come to the conclusion that most things are time consuming.
I’ve been working on a large array of projects lately, and all seem to take up time. I’m back in school, but that really doesn’t hinder me that much except for the time I spend in class…furthermore, I make good use of the 30 Megabit Down / 7 Megabit up internet connection.
WordPress updates and plugin updates were first on the docket. That took plenty of time across my sites, and then I proceeded to play with some new plugins like CosHTMLCache (which broke RSS on a couple of the sites so I reverted to WP-Super-Cache), and I also have started using twitterposter to promote my posts, which has made a good increase in traffic and AdSense clicks.
After that I have just been tinkering and considering whether I should put up more sites, or try to start working on my all in one blackhat SEO command center in an effort to automate as much as I can from site creation, to promotion, to maintenance and tracking, as well as ad placement and management (probably integrate OpenX in some way for that one….).
All in all, I feel I’m on the upswing, though I still stink at getting many CPA conversions…I just don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. I’d say the techniques I hear of are often so old that they are saturated or dead, so I guess I need to find a place that doesn’t have a bunch of whining n00bs, and enough activity to actually warrant me joining and discussing techniques that work.
In the end, it’s all more of a playground than anything…I still have tons of unused domains to do something with…I’ll never run out of things to do.
