The Adsense Challenge – Weekend Update

Posted on December 8th, 2008 in The Adsense Challenge | 2 Comments »

Oh yeah I made some money. Although during the weekend I didn’t spend that much time working on the site. I did add a new Downloads page where I added Arrested Development Wallpaper. I also added some more Adsense Ads, now I have a line of links going across the top of every page. Hopefully this converts well for me. Though out the weekend I have been recieving emails from TweetBeep.com about Arrested Development and have been adding them to my followers. One good non-related Adsense thing that came out of it, I was contacted by a publisher who is promoting a novel written by a former writer and producer on Arrested Development. I recieved a copy of the book and I am going to review it on my site. I am also going to request an interview as well. They also gave me 5 books to give away on my site as a contest. So look out for that.

Here are the results from over the weekend.

Using TweetBeep.com To Get More Traffic To My Blog

Posted on December 1st, 2008 in Helpful Tools & Resources, Social Media | 3 Comments »

So I was reading TwiTip.com (one of Darren Rowse’s Blogs) and he was reviewing a site called TweetBeep.com. Which If I could explain it, I would say it’s like Google Alerts for Twitter.

I started a new blog to test adsense called ArrestedDevelopmentBlog.com which is a blog about the show Arrested Development and the movie updates. In order to start gaining traffic and readers to this site I decided to sign up for TweetBeep and get emails sent to me whenever someone mentions “Arrested Development” or “Bluth” in a tweet. About every other day I get about 20+ twitterers that post tweets about these subjects. So I follow every one of them and now I can give updates about Arrested Development and share quotes with those followers.

It seems to be working out well so far, the site has only been up for about 4 days now and I’m already getting retweets and some traffic from Twitter. So my advice is, if you have a niche and use twitter, use TweetBeep to find follwers faster!
