Finally some Traffic

I opened my fourth site this week. None of the four sites is completly built. The first site, a dating service review site, looks the best and it could generate profit, but has no traffic as of yet. Very competitive market that I can see will take a couple of years to build into a profitable venture.

My second site is an Amazon eStore. I'm bucking a stacked deck on that idea also. Getting traffic to an eStore that is nothing more than a copy of a small portion of what Amazon carries is again going to be an SEO nightmare. Even if I get the traffic built up, I won't be able to hold it.

My third site, has some traffic. I'm getting 6 to 10 visits per day. It is a review site for a good product. But the traffic is the result of using the products name in my URL. I can see them taking the site from me ddown the road because I've used their trademark name in my domain name.

I've opened another site in that same niche and will concentrate more efforts on it. Meantime I'll run links from the site that is getting that little bit of traffic to the other and vice versa. As both sites are for the same products, it will at least help me build links.

I registered yet another domain today in that same niche, but even more focused. I'll open that site up within a couple weeks and then feed it with links from the other two.

Meantime, I'm getting a better handle on Wordpress. I can see where I have to master Expression Web however if I want to build more professional looking sites. Wordpress is very good for blog type sites, and you can make it work well for regular web sites. But, long haul, the Expression Web is going to be the better program to have a complete grasp of. If I master Expression Web, it will make my Wordpress sites all the better for it.

On my way, but this isn't going to be a short journey to success. As my knowledge grows, the "box" I think within expands. When I can step outside that box and be comfortable in doing so, I will be in the position to make more than a living on the Web.
