Truth be told, it was a lot less than 6 hours. Most of that time was spent building the blog.

Yesterday, I found a new product that I wanted to promote (not internet marketing).

So, I uploaded a new WordPress blog, with a subdomain by using Fantastico (most hosting services provide this for free).

Then I spent about 30 minutes finding a WordPress Theme that I liked and uploaded it.

Next, I optimized the blog by adding some plugins (Install SEO WordPress Video Tutorial).

I installed the Google Adsense Plugin.

I then found an article from from the product owner and posted it to my blog.

I added a banner advertising the product and an Aweber form (for readers to sign up for a free 5 part ecourse).

Uploaded a picture to the blog.

I found 11 tags (long tail keywords) by using SEO Book Keyword Suggestion Tool. I chose keywords that had only 3 to 7 searches daily.

I added my RSS feed to Bloglines , Feedage, Feedbite, & Feeds2Read.

I then bookmarked the article page (click on article title) by using Social Marker.

I only bookmarked to 9 sites:

Propeller, Digg, MyJeeves, Google, Slashdot, Technorati, Stumbleupon, Reddit, & Mixx.

And Presto, a few hours later:

1/ I was indexed in Google (all 11 tags)

2/ 100 unique visitors

3/ 1 comment on a brand new blog (how they found it so fast is a mystery)

Best,

Scott

I haven’t quite crystalized my thoughts on the subject just yet, but here goes.

Basically, everyone in internet marketing is doing the same thing.

They have a website, have a free offer, build a list and market to the list.

Now, I realize that this works very well for many marketers. But, I am noticing some interesting trends with my own sites. Such as, people sign up for my list but don’t open my emails (that could easily be my own fault).

On the other hand, most of my sales come from my websites (blogs).

My blogs are very interactive and have what I like to refer to as ‘high stickiness’. By stickiness I am not just referring to how long visitors stay on my site. ‘High Stickiness’ is when visitors bookmark your site or sign up for your RSS feed and keep returning to your site.

My most interesting statistics are how many visitors bookmark and return to my site (over 46% of my visitors add my site to their bookmarks and 77% of my traffic comes from these visitors).

These numbers are very significant.

The other remarkable item is how many people sign up for my RSS feeds.

This leads me to believe that while email marketing is not dead, it is important to understand how captivating your site/blog should be.

Recently, I saw a Forex site for sale. This site had, literally, no stickiness. I have no idea what the seller has in mind, other than to make money from selling these worthless sites.

This brings me to my point. My present thinking is that if you wish to be successful with internet marketing you need a site that your visitors want to read and to visit repeatedly. This is the real challenge.

Because, once you accomplish this things like driving traffic to your site should be relatively easy.

As always, please share your comments.

Best,

Scott
