New Experiment

In the weeks to come Mr.C and I will be embarking on an exciting new web venture. One that will be my first foray into Google’s Adsense with an attempt to monetize a website. Now, we’re not going into this with big dreams, but are instead taking the stance of this being a learning experience.

I have particualy been surprised about my endevors into the field of Search Engine Optimization or SEO. Case in point, it was brought to my attention that the Tractor Club’s site of a few weeks with its sub-directory address of pullinink.com was outranking an established business of 50 years with a strong web presense!

So what do I owe my success? I think it’s attributed to a well laid out xml sitemap, strategic use of the bold tag on particular high ranking natural keywords, and an extensive use of deep linking.

But back on topic, this new site, which I’ll be revealing when its complete will be quite interesting. It’s a mashup of an online game, logic puzzles, and many many ad impressions. How it performs though will be the real experiment…
