Just wanted to brag a little...

    Hi all,

    Just wanted to share my joy...
    One of my sites finally got #1 in Yahoo and somewhere in top5 in Google for some targetted keywords...

    Result: jump from ~600 visits / day to an astonishing 5000 visits yesterday.
    The niche is pretty low-paying, but I still managed to cash in 10$ yesterday, and another 4$ today, with more than half a day ahead...

    So I just wanted to let people know that with some good planning, a little time investment - it can be done :)

    Cheers!

    P.S. 55% traffic from G and 39% from Yahoo... Yahoo is still pretty important :)

    Congrats with your achievement, Dumitru!
    How long did it take you to achieve this result?
    Is ten dollars per day considered a large income in Moldova?

    Great work. That's a huge jump. Care to share a summary of the methods you used to cause the traffic spike? =)

    Great job... Nothing like a "sigh of relief" of all the worrying, waiting, analyzing and hard work paying off!

    It is often possible to moderately increase the earnings (eCPM) by doing some legitimate keyword stuffing.. if you have already implemented ways to increase the CTR..

    And with 5000 Uniques, you can certainly add a couple dollars or more from CPM ads like casale

    Thank you all!

    2 LawnchairLarry: the site is 4 months old. And no, 10$ is not much in Moldova :) It's 1 good meal :)

    I'm not happy because of the money, I'm a web developer, so I earn that in less than an hour, i'm just happy about being #1 and seeing such a huge traffic :) I've never had more than 1.5k on any of my sites, so now seeing 5k is awesome :)

    Maybe your visitors aren't targeted enough, maybe you should target you visitors more so they are willing to spend money e.g. buy "keyword", where you replace keyword with your chosen keyword.
    do you understand? The conversion will be higher + higher payout

    Congrats! I've been working my ass off for 6 months just to get 10% of your traffic.

    With that said, reposition your adsense ads, you'll get better results. Good luck!
