One of the major challenges of being a part time internet entrepreneur, at least as far as I’m concerned, is managing multiple projects.
My confession to you is that after getting off to a pretty good start on the Niche Site Duel I have completely ignored since my last update two months ago. Of course, this is not surprising. Having a full time job and a part time internet business in addition to four kids and a beautiful wife leaves me pretty busy.
In my last report we were talking about how amazing it was that the site (for no apparent reason) was ranking on the first page of Google for the keyword I had selected, "learn guitar basics." At the time I mentioned that I felt like this was part of the rank and tank phenomenon common with blogs.
Often times when you start a new blog it will go to the top of the rankings briefly only to fall later. My theory on this is that Google very briefly gives a lot of weight to brand new content on the internet to see if it will go viral in terms of backlinks. If this doesn’t happen Google will drop the site out of the rankings.
