This blog will always be for viewers first. The other blog is just an experiment. I don’t have high hopes on whether or not it will work, I just want to prove or disprove my theory.

Well.. I tend to agree with Kirsty. I found it hard to attract viewers if you don’t really know what you are talking about. You have to know your topic well in order to provide some useful information for your viewers.

I think your onemansgoal is a great place to attract your viewers. You have done it very well. I watched you grow since day one! Great job!

I hope you make a lots of money off your free blog. However, I also hope you write blog for your viewers.

Keep it up!

Hey Bryan,

I actually think that this is everything that’s wrong with the whole making money online thing. The web is cluttered with crappy sites that just rehash old information targeting high paying keywords. This has been done to death and getting this will work will be really tricky unless you stumble onto some new, great keyword combo.

I’m assuming you won’t be passionate or knowledegable about your new blogs’ chosen topics but I could be wrong. If you are going to provide some useful, interesting content that provides value to the reader then fair play to you. The problem I have with this approach is that most people who play this game are just in it for a quick buck.

I’ll be interested to see how it goes but I’m a bit dubious about the whole thing. I might write a post about it, actually.

something is wrong with the front page of your site. When I click on the individual story link it lines up properly, but the right sidebar isn’t appearing properly it’s all out of whack. I don’t know if it’s IE, or what but you might want to check that out.

Don’t worry guys. I don’t plan on revealing the site until the experiment is over.

Bryan, I didn’t say you should pay for hosting. Buying a domain is (more or less) a one time fee. You can use the Blogger ‘custom domain’ option, so you won’t have to pay for hosting. Sites with real domains have so much more potential that I think you should invest a couple of dollars per blog for some cheap domains.

Regarding PR, even static sites get it once they get old enough. And even domains with no PR have value if they’re old. You don’t have anything else to lose but a few dollars for the domains.

I agree with icedragon. Don’t let us know. Otherwise, we will all going to check the site out, which is not going to tell the true story.

Please don’t tell what websites are you going to do the tests, reveal them until the experiment is over

Brain,

I’m also doing the thirtyday challenge, it has a lot of interesting SEO information (and its free). I plan to use the 30 day challenge techniques on my Build a Niche Store site that I’ve been writing about. The site is not quite ready to reveal yet, although it’s getting close.
