Ok, so I have established that simply throwing a blog up and throwing some adsense and affiliate links on it does not a millionaire make, I didn’t figure it would, but that is where I am in the learning curve.  I’m trying to keep the electricity paid over here, so I’ve got to keep trying.  Something, anything has got to work.  Here is my current track:

We are all going to experience unique challenges, here are some examples:

ArticleCity.com Videos

I got started with a job, got rather irritated by the spam comments on my blogs, so I turned off comments on most of my blogs and pretty much forgot about my various sites. 

I recently came across the writings of another life-hacker like Tim Farriss ( http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/), this life-hacker is Steve Pavlina.

I’m overwhelmed.  I’m listening to too many gurus and am having to stop listening, take a step back and figure out what style of marketing I wish to pursue.

One guru is all about site authority, and once you have that, sell the site to someone who wants it because of its authority for $$$$, profit from the monetization of the site (it’s products and ads) is insignificant.

It appears there must have been sort of upgrade with my sitemap plugin, as when I first installed it on http://www.swapsjuggling.com it created a new page and did everything for me.  Easy as pie.

However, when I installed it here at nsofi.org and on http://www.hydrophidian.com , a new page was not created, and I had to go through all the settings.

I don’t know much about SEO (Search Engine Optimization).  Knowing how well my SEO is doing takes a degree of knowledge that I do not possess.

However, I have uncovered something helpful which gives me some degree of feedback.

I found this interesting product, that I am interested in both buying and being an affiliate for– http://www.nsofi.org/conduit.   I signed up as an affiliate and posted the description on the http://www.nsofi.org site as my most likely next purchase.
