Site 2 - Dating

Monday, May 1st, 2006

Well a friend asked me about dating sites on the net. Which were the best and are they safe. I have no idea, I’m happly married and I’m sure my other half wouldn’t be best pleased if I did! Well with permission I did a search, checked the review sites and found him a few sites that looked good. I’ve asked for feedback on the sites and his results :)
I could see that the market is big, very big - lots of established players.

So anyway I did’t want to waste what I found so I created a MFA site with articles, news, sites etc. I decied to register it for two years to see if that made a difference in the way google index the site. There are lots of theories that google likes older sites and sites with longer than 1 year registration details. Guess what! I mispelt the name… So I have a funny domain name for two years - I decided to go with it anyway - I’m on a budget.

Summary of today’s Actions

Used Nemeas to choose a host name.

Registered it with IPower for two years - always check your spelling.
Created the account using my hostgator reseller account.

Used Website Article Wizard to create site - had to make a template.

Up loaded using Website Article Wizard built in FTP to reseller account.

Update the DNS on IPower.

Quick test - all seems fine.

Wrote this post.

In all (ignoring the work done for my friend) about 90 minutes :)

Outstanding tasks are to submit articles and find directories to create some back links. I need to find a way to get it indexed quicker and I need other hooks…..

Running total: -$467.95

Sorry out of time!

Site 1 - voip and broadband

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

Well here goes - the first site……..

Site 1 is about

voip and broadband

Its simple, has some of the usual trimmings - articles, news, plans, products etc. I decided it will just have adsense on it for the moment. I’ve not really used adsense before and I’m looking forward to trying things out, for example ad hot spots and sizes. VoIP and Broadband are big business here in the UK, but we are really slow compared to the US. So the plans section is mainly for the US….. The idea is to add more features later on once it gets in the index and perhaps I will understand more about the keywords that are triggering it. Just to explain a bit more about “later updates” comment if I’m building a site a day. Each site will require fine tuning and fettling, I’m building sites in a modular manner. So I should be able to add features to many sites in one go.  Hopefully after a while this will get less and less.It didn’t take long to build – approx 2 hours using a new tool in my toolbox. LOL – I spent most of that time playing with the templates. Must stop playing, must build sites..   A quick FTP to hostgator and I was ready to point the DNS and test it out. IPower took two days to set up the domain… So testing had to wait, I need to plan this delay in for other domains. IPower are doing a great $2.95 deal on .com domains for the first 50 domains, so it will be worth the wait. Unlike godaddy or bluehost each one is separate and so adds to the time taken to point the dns.  So many passwords.
