Niche Duel Update #6 – Status and Plans

by Mark Mason on April 12, 2011

Many of you know by now that I am combining my evaluation of SENuke X with my desire to get back into the Niche Site Duel.

Of course, this is a perfect match, since you will recall that my “spin” on the niche site duel was to participate using outsourcing and automation.  Of course, that was back in August.  I got the site up and applied to the affiliate program that I wanted to use.  I even got to page one of Google for a while.

Since then, I have been completely distracted by this busy thing called “life”.  Most of you know that I have four kids, a day job and tons of other stuff going on.

Niche Site Update #4 – Traffic

by Mark Mason on September 15, 2010

Hey there.  It's 5AM here and I am just about to head off to my day job.  I am running behind in assigning tasks to my VA for the Niche Site Duel.  In fact, we have done very little to work on the site since we put it up.  The one exception is that one VA is still rewriting the articles on the site (a few every day).  There is no real strategy there -- just trying not to spend too much money on the site all at once.

Most of the traffic on the site is probably coming from people like you who are reading about the duel and then directly typing in the URL.  So, don't be too impressed by the traffic stats below.  However, I will show the traffic so you can get a sense of what is going on.

What is interesting is that I am starting to see some traffic from organic search (but just a trickle).

Trial By Fire: Developing A New Sales Letter

by Mark E. Mason March 18, 2009

Several months ago I posted that I would be working on my sales letter for Niche AdSense Themes for WordPress.  You probably remember that this was one of my very first products, and that I am always learning by doing.  Man, that first product seems like a lifetime ago. Edit — See my special guest [...]

Getting High AdSense Payouts

by Mark E. Mason January 21, 2009
