Week 3 – Keyword Research

by Marc on March 20, 2012

Ok, I awoke Saturday morning full of dread. The kind of dread that lies on top of you when you’re facing a day full of boring, monotonous work. Keyword research is my nemesis… it mocks me and chides me. I spent most of the day Saturday researching keyword tools… trying out demos, watching sales videos, [...]

Week 2 Summary

by Marc on March 17, 2012

Wow, what a hectic week! We fell short of our goal of 10 sites, but we did complete 6 sites, with all of the content created for 3 more.  Since putting in content is probably the easiest part of this process, I’ll post the content tomorrow and we’ll have 9 for the week. Again, I’m [...]

Week 2 Keyword Research

March 12, 2012

I’d like to take a moment to reiterate how much manual keyword research sucks. Oh to have an automated solution.

March 5, 2012

My first inclination was to sit down and do all the research for the whole month, collect up all our keywords, and buy all the domains all in the first week. However, as we’re not using any paid tools to do this research, it quickly became extremely tedious. I’ve decided to do keyword research on [...]

The Plan

February 28, 2012

Background Part 3: The Reveal!

February 26, 2012

Paul and I were seated at our favorite table at our favorite Wings and Beer joint waiting for our food. “Ok, Marc… you got something for me?” he asked. “I do. But I have to warn you – it’s going to take a lot of work, a lot of sweat and tears, and you won’t [...]

Background Part 2: How the Heck Do We Start?

February 25, 2012

Paul had left me with a conundrum.  How does a complete newbie start off with no list, no skills, no experience, and no knowledge?  Those of us that have been doing this for awhile have our methods and techniques, but more often than not, things we do today leverage things we did yesterday.  For example, [...]

Background: Why This Blog Exists

February 22, 2012

The other day I was having wings and beer with my good friend Paul, who was visiting home on leave from the Marine Corps.  Paul is getting ready to retire later this year, and the conversation turned to what his plans were once he was out.  Although he had spent 20 years in the service, [...]
