Postmoterm and Analysis Day

Published by cyza under Blogging ~ Sharring

analytics

It has been a while since I think, review and analyze the performance of all my blogs. It’s not a good thing to just blast and work on all of our blogs without proper planning. It’s also not good to get distracted with all sorts of offering available in the internet and in our inbox. Either they are free or paid product/service/software/script etc, we still need to remain focus to reach our ultimate online goal.

If some of you want to know how much blogs I have, well here is your lucky day. I don’t have that much blog as some of you may have thought. I only have:

  • dot com blogs : 20
  • blogspot.com blogs : 10

That’s all. All that are currently active are 30 blogs. Last month I have 32 blogs but I’m letting go some of them to allow me to focus on the one that I have now. I chatted with a few of my fellow bloggers including Rohaizad and Azwan. Both of them said I need to focus on just few and make them really profitable financially to me instead of building hundreds of low income producing blogs. Hence, I maybe focusing on far less blogs instead of all 30 blogs. I’m thinking on focusing on 5 of my top notch blogs (this blog is not considered). Cyza Sector, for your information does not contribute to any of my online income except for TNX. Cyza Sector is not a niche blog, instead it is just a blog for me to jot down my feelings, mood, release my tension and communicate with all of you, my loyal readers.

Back to the original intention…

After a while and after some rational thinking, I studied why my organic traffic for one of my blog was very poor. I don’t know yet the answer. I checked the backlinks… it was also poor. What I can say is it seriously impacted my income (which all this while enjoyed handsome organic traffic). See the illustration above showing the little amount of organic traffic I’m getting!!! Alas… Pity me…

I’m thinking of improving my backlinks after reading the Killer Backlink Ebook provided by my highly rated entrepreneurial  friend, Boy Bersahaje. I almost ordered some directory submission services from an Indonesian guy but I halted. I want to allow myself to think and analyze more before I invest some more precious dollars on establishing my top 5 blogs.

So, lets see here what I’ve been doing since I woke up this Sunday morning…

  • Checked all my blogs for the number of pages that were indexed by Google.You can do this just by going to Google.com search engine. Then, type in “site:yourblog.com”. For example, for this blog, I typed in the google search box – “site:cyza.us”. After that, this result appeared: About 208 results (0.09 seconds) which means I have only 208 pages of Cyza Sector in the search engine. I think that’s quite low for my blog. Well, this is part of how I checked how much pages of my blog is indexed by the search engine.
  • Checked the analytics of my blogs. You can do this by registering an account with Google.com/analytics (if you still don’t have an account). Having analytics will provide us tonnes of useful data for us to adjust, tweak and further optimize our blog performances.

Some shocking discoveries

I’ve discovered some of my blogs have substantially poor backlinks and also very low pages indexed by Google. This is despite of certain backlink services that I ordered earlier. So, what when wrong here. Mathematically, if I ordered a directory submission of 200 pages, I’m expecting the worse backlink to my blog to be around 100. However, the numbers are a mere 1 digit figure.

What does this finding shows me?

The directory submission services may work and may not work. I have some blogs that uses the directory submission and have spectacular backlinks and pages indexed nicely in uncle Google. I still need to investigate on this. I also need to diversify the way of sending backlinks to my blogs. I can’t just hope miracle from directory submission alone but also need some reinforcement from other techniques and methods. I may need to invest few bucks to get this done.

My nearby short term goal

By hook or by crook, for my top 5 blogs, I need to maximize the:

  • Number of backlinks to my blogs
  • Number of unique blog posts
  • Targeted keywords
  • Number unique traffic
  • better position in SERP

Expected outcomes

If my short term goals converts, I’m expecting a boost in my online income. I’m hoping to double the average of what I earn in the first half of 2010. The income may be funneled from the popular Adsense and other make money online programs that I’ve shared before. I’m also expecting strangers a.k.a advertisers to email me and say…”Hey! I wanted to place a link in your blog… How can I do that? “. I’ll definitely grin and smile when receiving such rewarding email.

That’s it for now. I need to relax my indispensable pair of eyes for a while. It has been working so hard staring at the laptop monitor. Not just that, my eyes have been used to watch the world cup… :)

I need a break as well to do my other official jobs…

I wish I can get this email everyday!!!

Two days ago, I received a message in my email as shown below:

Is it wonderful if we can get such email on a daily basis. I can be one of the happiest guy on earth. Yes, money is not everything, but it help and smoothen various things. After reading the email, I immediately login into my TLA account and was supprized to see an advertiser has chose to buy a link on a niche blogspot.com blog of mine that I just registered 4 weeks ago.  The amount is not that big but importantly, I get it on a monthly basis, as long as the advertiser is happy to place the link on my blog.

As a part time blogger hunger for additional monthly financial reinforcement, this is among the ways how we can do it. Of course we need to work hard in the beginning but when the blogs are established, there’s no turning back. It’s about getting advertisers rushing to you and begging you to place their links and ads inside your web space. There’s nothing much to do on our site accept minor maintenance (publishing post once in a while).

Text link Ads is one of my favourite way of earning passive monthly income besides TNX, Adsense, Revresponse, Linkworth and others. If you have an army of blogs, what you need to is put great content and improve your blog PR besides enhancing the backlinks of your blogs.

The formula is simply:

Great content + huge backlinks + high PR = $$$

Hence, if you have 10 blogs, the formula will be:

(Great content + huge backlinks + high PR = $$$ ) multiply by 10

What if you get those income on monthly basis?

[(Great content + huge backlinks + high PR = $$$ ) multiply by 10]/month

Take note that great unique content will boost up your SEO and SERP. That is crucial for blog owners. So, if you are like me, somebody who love his career, you can enjoy double income, your monthly salary + your online blogging income.

Good luck to you and me… :)

A day at the Indonesian Embassy

Published by cyza under Blogging ~ Sharring, Make Money

We have planned to settle our maid’s permit at the Indonesian embassy today and yes, we went to the embassy just now. Unfortunately, as we arrived there, the officer kindly said that we need to bring the maid along. Last year, we did the same thing, but there was no need bringing the maid. Well, we have no choice and we have to return home, get the maid, the kids, took a passport size photo, photocopy the maid’s visa and drove back to the embassy before 12 o’clock.

Well, the entire process took about 3 hours plus the 1 hour lunch break. Now, the mission is accomplished and our maid will be on leave for 2 weeks this December.

p/s: I have 1,000++ additional TNX points today compared to yesterday… this is getting exciting? Want to learn more, check out my last post.
