BTW - are updates now being posted in a new section? I hope I'm on the caboose and didn't miss the train. Let me know.

yep almost everyone is up to at least $35/day in profit already - get your ass over there asap or be left behind. just relax :rasta: and be patient . assume jenn or jon or someone else will post here as soon as the section is open.
 
Anyway...... How is everyone doing on their projects? Anyone making any money from their freshly launched sites yet? Getting any traffic or pushing any traffic to? Posting daily? Everyone indexed?

Ive been trying to update everyday, but missed a day or two, Ive also made a few cents off the site so far, though I believe the little traffic I am getting is coming from this thread, but it takes time, 100 uniques per day one month, 300 the next, 1000 the following ...... blah blah blah....

as mentioned before most of the pages of my site are getting picked up pretty quickly, I am going to assume and give credit to a decent ping list for that.

I may start pushing some ppc traffic to the site, bid in on some very long tail keywords at a few cents per click, just for the hell of it, or maybe ill wait to see what Jon has up his sleeve, I mean the whole point of this was to learn this process from a different perspective.....

But overall I am satisfied, its only been about two weeks, Im getting some traffic, getting some clicks and im indexed. Off to a good start!

So I propose this, instead of getting all worried and jumpy about this and that pertaining to this project, tell us all what you have done, where are you at, what progress have you made?
 
Yeah, back again, he he he

Any of you hardcore bloggers out there use auto blogging scripts? I was going to see what i could do with Elliot Blacks script, not to completely saturate my site for this project with posts day in and day out, but in the event that I dont have time to sit down and make a unique post im thinking it could help.

Anyone use this or similar scripts? have your blogs that you ran this script on grown or went south? SE and indexing wise......

Just curious;

I got sent the elliot script the other day..I already had it BUT after having in my face again I threw it on a site. here's what I like and don't like

LIKES
It snatches feeds from anywhere and posts them in their own category.

DON'T LIKES
You have to hack the script to remove his spammy "look mommy I made this" text that appears at the end of each post. Simple to do but... eh

The scraped content links back to the original site. Easily hacked out of code as well

You can't select categories to put posts in. Each RSS automatically goes into default category. You have to edit the posts category later or change the default category everytime you run the script. the workaround for this is to obviously put the scraped feeds into a hidden category until after you fix them or add a few lines to the script for it to do what you want

If you edit the RSS feed you're scraping and click save changes it runs the script again and creates dups even though there is a separate button for running the script
 
My site is up I've made a total of three posts over the past week just to have something there. The whole site was indexed in no time. The ping list is definitely what's doing it.

I really haven't done much as I was waiting on access to the education area to see what Jon had going on. I don't want to put a lot of work going one way in case the group as a whole decides to go the other.

I still don't know whether it's just a free for all or something that's going to be more structured.

Ok, so I've got my site up with WP on its own domain but having never used it before and not knowing PHP can someone tell me where the best place to put by Statcounter code is, or is there a better way to see visitor stats.

Thanks

Just use Google Analytics. Works well for me.

Anyone got any hosting they recommend? How is everyone fairing with Hostgator?
