A little history on Million Dollar Blog.

Whew!
I’m sorry I haven’t updated in a long time but damn have I been busy with this project. First I have been getting alot of questions and comments from people claiming that I have already made a million, that has come from the reviews I have been receiving, I have not yet made my million, I m on my way and will definitely make it but it hasn’t been done yet. The reason that I named this blog the Million Dollar Blog is because hopefully it will show the progress of me making my million.
Now lets get back on track with the project. I have 20 proxy sites at the moment, I opened them 10 at a time. At the moment I have over 5 proxies bringing over 1k unique page views a day. Now it is time to focus on the other 15. The reason I haven’t been posting is because I wanted to wait until I had something of value to post, I believe that this was a good milestone and decided to let you guys know.
I am focusing on one site in particular like crazy. I have had it submitted to over 500 directories for a cost of $25. Not a bad price and hopefully it will bring up my rankings for some of the terms I am hoping to be high for.
Next, I had the header for my page redesigned and have it on all the sites now. Hopefully soon I will pay a designer to make me a new site altogether.
On the main site I submitted it to all the topsites on my own. That was really really long. There was a user on Digitalpoint that does 30 topsites for $3. That is really cheap for the work they do and I pounced on the offer paying for 5 sites upfront and getting a discount. The topsites are important SEO wise and also bring in some traffic as well. My main site is already ranking number 1 on a few them. Speaking of topsites check out http://www.proxycab.info, see the topsites buttons at the bottom with the marque? How the hell does he do that? I tried and its not working on my sites!! Someone help me out.
As for the other sites, Im still going to do them as well but just don’t know when. Hopefully by the end of this week. The sites will all be complimentary to proxies so I can advertise them from my proxies. I am currently advertising http://www.feeree.com which is a funny videos site from all my proxies, but once I get more sites up I will change it.
Also its a Sunday and 3 in the morning here in Pakistan, and so far today I have made 16.00 from adsense which is amazing considering its a SUNDAY which is horrible for proxies! I cant wait till Tomorrow.
How the project goes: Update for everyone
It seems that trying to make 5k in one month will not be something very easy to do. So if I am not updating as much as you would all like I am sorry, but your hero has to make money! This post will be an update of some of the achievements already gained.
First this blog, I am very happy with the way things are going, EXCEPT for the fact that I can not post as much as I would like. I promise I will soon try to post at least 2wice a day. At the moment this blog is ranked 370,451 in technocrati, not bad considering the fact that when this blog started I was ranked in the MILLIONS! I am already linked on 11 blogs!
Also I already am getting some good traffic from google, thats the best type of traffic because it is organic and natural. Of course all my friends over at DP are probably reading this and thinking that bastard didn’t give us a shout out! Also this blog is already getting a predicted PR of 4, I know these predictions can be off and you all think I deserve a PR of 9, but hey you can’t mess with the numbers. Also a whopping 600 backlinks already! Im loving your loving me!
I have already started the proxies, I am very happy with the progress already. I have only uploaded 2 sites but am already making double from them, so if I keep my goal of 100, I should be making $200 a day if things keep going the way they are.
Thanks for checking in everybody, and if you need anything asap, just drop a comment as I respond to them pretty quickly.
Crazy Project in the works. 5k in one month!
Sorry guys and gals for responding to all your comments so late. I have had a crazy last few days. But these last few days will lead to a big day coming soon. This month I hope to cross Five thousand Dollars a month! How do I plan to do this? Please keep reading.
The Following steps will be used to make sure I make the cash I want:
- 100 Proxy Sites
- 100 Automated Blogs/News Sites
- A MSRS type Site
- A Image Hosting Service
- Over 24 Directories Hopefully
The Proxy sites are already in progress, I have already registered 10 domains and the dedicated server has been setup, I got a really good deal on the dedicated server from a reseller of the FDC. This guy handles over 55 servers! And now mine is one of them. He is very experienced with proxies and has already optimized the servers for proxies. I will be uploading these 10 at a time, I dont want to burn myself out here you know. The cost of the server was $209. And the domains will cost me a whopping $0.88 each; I think that is quite possibly the cheapest you can buy a domain online for. I guesstimate each proxy making $1 a day. Leading to $100 a day hopefully! That’s $3,000 right there.
The blogs/news sites are already in progress as well. My Funny Videos site is already up, I am not promoting this at all and already getting about 5 clicks a day and about $0.25. If you times that buy 100 you get about 500 clicks a day and $25 a day. Not bad considering the initial cost will only be $588. This will lead to a minimum of $750 a month from all these sites. I have not started the process of getting 100 yet I want to start the proxies first before I start this. Man it is going to be tough managing 200 domains.
But wait there’s more…
But that won’t be discussed until tomorrow; I obviously want you guys to come back for something. The total profit right now stands at $3,750.00. Remember that for now we’ll get more numbers and work out the total costs at the end.
Ask any questions you may have.
Changes to Adwords and Adsense
Google has recently implemented another change to adsense ads. First it was the Ads by Google part that they were trying to change, if you remember they started using their logos instead of just the word Google. This was to try to increase the awareness of their program. Most people when they see an ad are now blind to them. That was a good way to attract some attention.
As you can see the little black shopping cart is something that is new to all the adsense ads, and adds a uniqueness to it.
The new feature is that advertisers that accept Google Checkout now get a nice little shopping cart image next to their ads. Nice little reward for the advertisers because their ads now stick out. Nice advantage for Google because now they are putting the pressure on both eBay and Paypal.
Currently Paypal is the major way that transactions are carried out online. Be it eBay or personal everyone has an paypal account. Time for Big Old G’ to put the pressure on. eBay in all their encompassing wisdom has already banned Google checkout from their auctions. But I think that with this new advertising campaign the sales will start to roll in.
