Hey all, I am sorry for taking such a long hiatus from posting. I haven’t posted in somewhere near a month now, but I do still see traffic coming in to my site which is a great thing, it’s a shame that there wasn’t new content to look at. I decided to take a break from many things to re-focus on my school work and slow down the hustle and bustle. I was waiting for something to hit me that would cause me to come back, and that came in the form of an email saying that I most likely would not have my Winter job that I have held for 5 years, so if I want to get gifts and party next semester I need to keep the marketing going.
I was also spending this time trying to come up with an idea because I couldn’t think of anything to do with my current websites that was overly productive (except post on here obviously, but I never quite got around to that). I have been thinking of making a reviews website for qutie some time now, and I was trying to decide whether I should go for a large meta-portal that reviews many different things (utilizing subdomains) or whether to create many mini-sites, each focused in on a specific topic. For now the mini-site idea has won out.
My first mini-site will not be so mini by the time I am done. When it is all over, it should be about 4k pages almost all with content that I intend to write myself. It is a review of the “For Dummies” books, the domain is not yet finished but I will continue working on it later today and I am still waiting to get approved by their affiliate program (if this does not happen I will simply use Amazon links for now). The site is my first Joomla! powered site, so I am interested to see how simple it is to manage once I am done with it. For now it is a $110 investment, $10 for the domain and $100 for a program that allows me to write reviews, rate things, and overall make the site more beautiful than it’s current state. You can find it at: Reviews For Dummies, I feel that eventually I would be better off changing up the word order to “For Dummies” Reviews later on for SEO purposes but it gets the point across nonetheless.
I am a big fan of review sites, so I eventually plan to create hundreds of smaller review sites focusing in on specific topics, such as web hosting, books, movies, marketing tools, ebooks, etc.
I am glad to be back into the marketing arena, I am also looking forward to start reading up on some of the blatant changes Google has made in the past month to see how it is impacting marketers.
