Excellent post!
New template layout i see there nick. Testing as usual
Thanks Joshua. I am testing out a new theory I have.
Sorry I posted that on the wrong page. I don’t see a delete/edit button, so if you could please delete that, Nick. I had this page bookmarked and forgot to hit Free Back Links at the top before posting.
Not a problem.

Hey Nick
Thanks for the twitter tips…
Don’t know if you know about Follopia.net but it can also add followers…
I am not on Follopia.net. I will have to look at it sometime.
Learned about you from Terri Grigsby. It was really opportune because I was doing mt Google keyword research yesterday and am very receptive to more training on this subject … and a lot of other things you are offering!
Thanks
Wow this is a great blog nick I need to spending more times here but first I’ll bookmark this sites
great blog Nick, nice to be here
Nice blog and great themes, nice to be here
The thesis theme is awesome and I haven’t switched to anything else since I discovered it.
The thesis theme is pretty good, A lot of people are switching to that.
Thesis rocks!
Nick im glad you started to post again alot more. You seem to be growing your operations pretty big, a second blog, 150+ rss subscribers, twittip writter. You might have 1000 rss feed subscribers by the end of this year at this rate.
1000 RSS subscribers would be awesome.
I will try to help and refer you some people to get your RSS up.
I really appreciate that.
Nick nice blog, you seem to still be testing, looks like you changed up the look of the blog again.
Yup, I am always testing.
Hey Nick,
love your thesis lay out, Congratulations on achieving how to get loads of content on a page without it looking like a dogs breakfast, nice and clean and a great use of white space.
I am jealous as my site looks like crap (of cause we have to start somewhere), well done I will keep following.
Got hear via Chris Farrell
Glad to have you here. Chris is super guy. Anything I can do to help?
Nick i have came up with a way to get website index faster. Or rather i have a formula i now use. I want your thoughts on it and if you would change or add anything. This is to make 100$ a month with websites on adsense.
First i find a good keyword or keywords. Then i see the traffic and competition like you showed me.
Next i create the website, i get about 10-20 articles on the website depending on what ezine does. Add in the adsense, put a picture in and make sure its very clean and easy to get adsense clicks.
Then i submit a sitemap, add a meta tag for the website, and last make sure all the keywords are in check all over the website, in the header, titles, catergories, archive, articles, ect.
Then each article i use onlywire, then i use ping O matic for each article. Also i might get traffic from reddit which is nice because each comment is a free backlink.
Then i might add a few thing here, and there. Mabey add in a new article to keep the bots coming.
Add backlinks daily. Add in backlinks from my other websites, blogs ect. Make sure i check the Page rank of the top 5 results for that keyword to see how many i will need.
Last i test to see Adsense combos work, i might try cpa soon to see how that works.
Then i get listed and its a battle for the number 1 spot everyday my friend.
What do you think very nice formula i have? i think it works.
Sounds like a pretty good system to me. Each piece will take time to figure out and refine. But once you have it all figured out you can certainly make money.
Hey Nick,
Interesting layout here. When people land on your blog they certainly won’t feel cheated for great content and it’s starring them right in the eyes. I enjoy coming here as I always learn something new from you that will help me get more traffic. And who can’t use a little bit more traffic?
Later,
Jeff Sargent
