10 Steps to Lose Rss Subscribers Fast!

February 16, 2008 | Author: Rob | Filed under: Blogging

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

It’s funny how things work out but recently I’ve inadvertently done an experiment that my blog would of been better off without. I’m going to share with you how to lose rss subscribers on a good blog in a hurry.

1) Begin posting daily to build up membership and let them know that this is a place they can travel to on their daily stroll for information and maybe a little fun.

2) Suddenly disappear when momentum is building and don’t post for 2 days.

3) When you do post again it’s at an odd hour on the weekend and not one of your best.

4) Follow it up by a post that is irrelevant to your theme; sure there is a “what I’m doing” but people looking for home business ideas probably want to read about what you’re doing business wise; not what you’re doing standing in line at the grocery store… …

Project Wonderful Prices Increasing Fast

February 12, 2008 | Author: Rob | Filed under: SEO and Marketing

Yes another wonderful project wonderful post .

Basically the first time I posted about project wonderful campaigns I was doing it at blogs that were 500-50,000 page views a day and around .2$ or .3$ per bid. If you recall I had around 200 possibilities and was close to that number in high bid.

I have a campaign going now that is dramatically reduced in size but it illustrates a trend that I believe is happening over at PW. Now I have a bid of ~$0.20 a day for blogs that have terms: blog, blogging, marketing and a few others related to bloggeries. I am also bidding on terms with a minimum of 100 page views a day. Currently I”m the high bid on 47 of possibly 70 sites in that price range.

Notice the difference!?!? 1 - 2 weeks ago for roughly the same I was a high …

HomeBizBlogger has Gone Run of Site

February 11, 2008 | Author: Rob | Filed under: What I am Doing

Some of you may be wondering why I’d remove the project wonderful box after talking about it so much. Someone approached me and asked if they could rent out exclusive advertising for two months. As of now this is just a hobby of mine more of an autotelic activity so I figured why not?

 What is Run of the Site?:  Run of Site is when an advertiser purchases all the ad spots. In this case it’s a sitewide, button on the side, another banner to come etc… It’s common in other types of industries but less in Make Money Online / Business opportunities but I’m a different kind of guy so we’ll see.

In two months from now I’ll replace my ads but we’ll do this little Run of Site test and see how it works. Some would say you can make more doing individually and that may be possible …

Air Travel - Hooray for Delays!

February 9, 2008 | Author: Rob | Filed under: What I am Doing

Nothing like air travel; get to see the world without the traffic! As quick as it can be it can also be a major downer when the weather plays with you. Let me tell you about my week.

I flew into Toronto Pearson airport from Ottawa in a middle of a whiteout blizzard. Left Ottawa 1 hour late, waited on tarmack 1 hour, when arriving at Toronto circled for 30 minutes, waited on tarmack for 45 minutes, waited 30 minutes for luggage and then finally got to the cabs. Since 100 flights had been canceled; 150+ people in line; 50 or so in line for a limo. Average time to get Downtown (27KM) and back; 3 hours!

Luckily I was staying near the airport so I went to a shuttle; I prefer a cab because you just walk right in but a shuttle is free so hey why not especially when there …
