More Project Updates
A few days ago I made a post about the BANS software. While I haven’t made any significant revenue yet from the sites, I haven’t given up. However, I have shifted my focus in regards to affiliate marketing. I’m not going to give out too many details just yet, but I’m working more with leads rather than sales, and SEO rather than PPC. A few days ago I spent three hours writing 20+ articles for this project. I’ve just started building everything on a solid website; I’ll post an update once more progress has made.
As for my other new project, AdminAddict.Com, I’m waiting on the design to be finished by the designer. I would guess it will be done within a week.
Another project I’ve had in the works for a while is focused around Fox’s new show, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I was fortunate enough to get the domain name www.sarahconnorchronicles.org; because the domain name is very search engine friendly, and because I started posting on the site months ago, the site is ranked in the top 5 for most terms related for the show in most search engines. The result is a massive amount of traffic (for me, anyway) coming overnight. I was already having problems with the new VPS, and the new traffic did not help whatsoever.
Traffic aside, I did have some problems monetizing the site. I tried various sale and referral campaigns with commission junction, but had no luck. Amazon ads had been running for the previous month with only a few sales. With the boom in traffic, I switched ad sense. Sunday and Monday I made a decent amount, but had a very low CTR. I made some changes and it improved. I’ll keep experimenting. I’ve added TV episode listings of the recent episodes on Amazon and iTunes for purchase, so we’ll see if they’ll convert.
Sorry for not posting for a week or so; I’ve been busy. 
hey daniel,
thanks for the tip about the se friendly domain name.
do you think one would get the same type of traffic if the domain is not an internic domain (.com .net .org)?
example of such are; a subdomain or an international domain
( heroes.exmaple.com / heroes.tv / heroes.co.uk )
v
I think it depends on many, many factors, primarily backlinks, but also (possibly) things such as PR, backlink anchor text, age of domain, etc.
I think that subdomains would be the hardest to rank well unless it was well related to your site. For example, wiki.heroes.com might rank well for heroes wiki. Heroes.tv *should* rank very well, though I haven’t seen many .tv domains rank. The same goes for heroes.co.uk - it should do extremely well because it’s so search engine friendly, but it will rank *much* better for searches from the UK than searches from anywhere else. In general, I think that .com, .net, and .org are the best, but you can still get a great deal of traffic from domains such as the examples you gave.
Good to see you’ve been keeping yourself busy!
