This is incredible. I just pulled up my stats for MyDentify Business Directory and I am at 3,780,049 page views for the year. My goal is so close I can feel it. I did a post about two years ago on Setting Goals for Web Traffic And AdSense, both short term and long term, and I have been right on track. My first big goal was to achieve 50,000 page views for the year back in 2006. It was tough that first year, but I did it. My goal after that was to double it, and I did, with 101,003 page views. My Next goal was to get 500,000 and boy was that tough. BUT I was able to even double that and for that year I reached 1,000,000 page views. Since last year and today, I have almost quadrupled in traffic. Which is so sweet. MyDentify has about 40,000 indexed pages of both static and dynamic content and my SERP results are great. People searching - Search Engines make up 74% of my traffic as of now, direct traffic is 14% and referring is 10% (I rounded the decimals). Read More…
This has been a busy weekend for MyDentify Business Directory. There have been many improvements on both the front and back ends. First off, Time for a background color change. Its now blue. Some other things most notably, is a quicker load time. I have made many modifications to improve a quicker connection to the rapidly growing database. Another load modification is how you search.
Recently I have been averaging about 170 user submitted links per day on MyDentify.com. Of course some are rejected due to spam, but overall they are quality links. There is a growing need of refined categories, so it was only natural for me to start segmenting and nesting out a little more. Total category count, 171. The Fun and games category within the Entertainment section is getting more and more popular. Its time to segment it out. I have added four new sub categories within “Fun and Games”.
The new MyDentify categories are:
Game Communities - for all those fan sites out there.
Buy And Sell - Do you have some WOW Gold for sale? sell it here.
Strategy Guides - For all things strategy.
Online Games - Flash games, and arcade style websites.
Strategy Guides - For all things strategy.
Online Games - Flash games, and arcade style websites.
I recently segmented out the Heath section into Men’s and Women’s health. This has been successful tus far with sub categories under each quickly filling up. Now all the Viagra links can be in one place!
Aside from Entertainment additions, I have also added these:
Free Dating Services - Added to the Dating and Friends Category, under Business and Internet Services.
Christian Dating - Added to the Dating and Friends Category, under Business and Internet Services.
Realtor’s - Added to the Real Estate, under Business and Internet Services.
Online Locators - Added to the Real Estate Category, under Business and Internet Services.
MyDentify is expanding, I plan to add more categories this week. But if I missed anything in the meantime just let me know and I’ll gladly add it. Be on the lookout for another directory sprouting up, more targeted and very niche.
Well I have changed my blog layout and I finally like the look. It is sort of “Facebookesk” (old facebook!) and Its simple. I am continuing to customize it more and more to build it out as much as possible to include all my networks and social 2.0 sites. Its clean and to the point. This way I can focus on content and leave the fluff out.
I have been highly motivated recently with my web projects as my Google AdSense has been strong this month. It is pushing me to work harder and harder. Once I get my content built up as much as possible, I will be focusing on link building to get stronger back links throughout my website.
Recently One of my goals is to get the rest of my “dormant” sites up and running to ther full potential by September 09. Right now my priorities are American Eskimo Zone, MyDentify, and ItsMyItaly. Outside of those web properties I will be focusing on my other 9 “in progress” websites. It’s a lot of work but I am up for it.
Coming from a strong design background, I am very particular with how things look on the web. Functionality always comes first, but the way it looks in the end is also very important. That is why it takes a while for my sites to come to life.
I’ll keep you posted, thanks for reading!
Another one of my “in-progress” projects is my AdSense eBook for beginners. It goes from start to finish on how to set up AdSense on your website, and start to bring in some extra cash.This is a real time consuming project and hope to have it complete by April 2009. It will be available to download directly from my website, for a price still yet to be determined. But it will be under $10.00, (hint, probably $9.99). It is focused for beginners, but definitely can be useful to anyone at any level.
Some highlights are: Full vocabulary list and dictionary, Heatmap of most common click areas on websites, working with channels and blending, best ad placements on websites, blogs, forums and more. One of the most comprehensive sections of the eBook will be the 100 most popular questions asked by AdSense users.
If you have a link on MyDentify (My Business Directory) you will get a discount on the eBook sale. I’ll definitely keep you updated on my projects. My eBook has made progress, It just needs a little more work.
