Killing deal from Jason Potash

Just stumbled upon that thing today, and opened an account as soon as I realized this can be a real cash machine. While not in the Adsense circle, Jason Potash is a no-nonsense name on the Web, and I believe the new project of him will not go underwater.

So, what he is for now? The new deals site. No, not about Adsense. If you are familiar with the woot.com, you know the concept. If not, the concept is really easy to grasp. They strike a deal with different manufactures and retailers, and have a one day sale for just one product. Today they sell golf clubs, tomorrow - radar detectors. Dirt cheap. And limited quantity.

That thing works, I watched it working. I bought from woot.com several times, and I saw how the counter goes down to zero in an hour or so on some things.Jason Potash's site is going to have killing deals on internet marketing stuff, one deal a day every day, 365 days a year.

So, how can you (and I) profit form it? Affiliate program with permanent lifetime two-tier commissions! It does not get any better than that, does it? You get a thick slice every time the person you referred buys anything. And a bit thinner, but still very respectable slice from what the person referred by the person you have referred buys.

In life, you usually find out about something good when it's too late -- like getting the skinny on a huge golf club sale that ended yesterday. Or, being handed a Denny's 50% off coupon when you just ate there like two hours ago. We all know, sometimes life sucks.

Well, this time... YOU will be the one who is laughing, *if* you go check this out before word gets out. Everyone will be talking about this new site next week. You'll see. Right now, this is by invitation-only and closed to the public. There is no cost to join and the profit potential is really big.

And all that is done under Jason Potash name - means the odds of that thing getting really big are very good. And the site is not launched yet! This is a chance to get in early, way before other guys - means others will sign up under your referral! Hurry up, and use my affiliate link to sign up! Yes, sure, I want you to sign up with my affiliate link - it does not cost you a dime neither in real money, nor in opportunity cost. Here it is: killing deals from Jason Potash

P.S. - Whatever you do, do NOT sit on this. The sooner you check this out, the better your potential to make some nice passive income, every month.

First comment. Yesterday's traffic. Back to the third place.

First comment on this blog. Of course from spammer. Sure enough I had to delete it. I wonder how people spam sometimes. What they hope for? This one had about dozen links to the same foreign site, and was written in the language I don't understand. Who in his right mind would keep such a comment on his blog?

Yesterday traffic burst was because Google in one of its re-shuffles put me on the first page for a very competitive keyword. Like 90,000,000 results. It was not long lived, and as I write this, I'm on the fourth page for that keyword. It did not make me awfully big increase in Adsense though - as appeared this keyword traffic tend to have high CTR with very cheap clicks. $12.28, while respectable on my scale, is nowhere close to the record $19.65.

Yet today I'm back to third place with my main keyword, and it feels sooo good! Well above average traffic and CTR, and record CPM as I write this. I'm close to getting the record Adsense number today. A couple of more hours to go, and only one dollar left to beat the record!

Relatively bad CPM for September so far. Adsense CPM and CTR charts.

Traffic is picking up (don't know why btw), CTR is shooting through the roof, but eCPM is hovering way below average. What does this mean? Either people prefer to click on cheaper ads for some mysterious reason, or I'm being served cheaper than usual ads for another mysterious reason. Either way good traffic does not bring in significant Adsense income increase. Sad. I'm still getting around $9 a day for the whole September, forget double-digits I was able to show in August.

Here are the charts of my Adsense CTR and eCPM since the beginning of August (without numbers of course) - did I tell you this is a roller coaster?

Nofollow links. Drop in traffic and other stats in the morning. Peel away ads - nice addition to Adsense.

Keep finding links to nofollow all over the place. I'm catching them one by one in the places I really never thought about. According to the tool my profile got improved dramatically. Don't see any result on SERPs and traffic though yet - and of course on adsense. But this is too early, I think at least a week is needed or may be even more

Today I see a serious drop in traffic with no changes in SERP results. On top of that, both CTR and CPM were extremely low the first half of the day. Somewhat improved by the night, but CPM is still lower than average. May be because of adsense layout changes.

Stumbled upon peel away ads - love them. Installed on the site right away, and eagerly waiting for some statistics to see. The package is very primitive though, and does not have any recording, let alone data processing, so I have to rely on advertisers' data. If the idea works, I can add some tracking code of my own to it. It could be really good addition to adsense.

Optimizing internal linking. Tool for this with download link.

Trying to optimize my internal linking to get more juice to adsense pages to rank, I followed Dan Thies's advice and downloaded the great piece of software. I did some analysis on my site. Sure enough it appeared I have a few places I can improve on. I spent the day today figuring out the changes I have to make and applying them, and looks like I'm done with this by now. It is not going to play out today or tomorrow, but over the course of a week or two I expect Google (and other engines, too) to pick up my new internal link structure, and give a due attention to the pages I made accent on.

I love the tool by the way, and I highly recommend you go ahead and download it, too. Of course if you want to control what your pages have higher ranking then others. If you don't, that's you decision :). I'm not aware of any other software doing the similar job showing you how you can accentuate your important (adsense!) pages for search engines. Plus you have really good customer support. No, I'm not affiliated with the author in any sense, I just came there by Dan's recommendation, and I love the tool. It's absolutely free, and here is the link: http://www.seo4fun.com/php/pagerankbot.php

Fourth page of Google for "adsense blog". Dull day. 20,000 visitors monthly. Reverting on-page optimization. New Adsense layout.

This blog is on the fourth page of Google for adsense blog. Considering I did not make any SEO effort whatsoever on this one month old blog, it looks not bad at all. The secret weapon I used while being a marketing tool is not really a SEO practice. Actually, traffic on this blog improved overall. It is not that dramatic as it was the first couple of days after secret weapon launch, but it definitely differs from what was before.



Another dull day on the main site - Sundays seem to be extremely cheap for some reason. And this come on top of low traffic - for real reason people having life instead of starring at computer screen. Yesterday monthly traffic crossed 20,000 mark - another record on my book. Almost all traffic is organic.

Remember I was changing some on-page factors to try to rank better on ddir? I'm reverting most of it. Ranking have been sliding on many keywords ever since. Now I changed the title on ddir. And made some slight text changes on this page to reduce keyword density. I'm no longer targeting that weird long tail on Yahoo. I want to move to the third place on the main one on Google.

At 11:00pm changed adsense layout. Now I have separate blocks for upper left links and menu itself. This was one of configurations I have before, and I like it much better in terms of user experience. I'm giving it a second try to see if it is really worse than combined menu.

Trying to straighten out nofollow.

After reading Dan Thies on nofollow, I decided to take inventory of my internal link structure and try and optimize it. Not that I did not do anything along these lines before, but all the efforts were impulsive and uncoordinated.

For example, I ended up having link to contact and privacy pages only from my homepage. And those links are nofollowed at the same time. Does not really make any sense. You either keep those links only on homepage, or have them on all pages and nofollow. And the second solution is much better than the first one.

Now I'm going to try it more systematically. Using the same example as above, I will return those links to all the pages. This will make user experience better. And I will label them nofollow. This will keep my page rank from leaking to the pages I don't want to rank for.

And my more important pages should receive a bit more PR love. I don't think it alone will boost my rankings, but every bit counts. And better rankings = more traffic = more Adsense.
