Now two weeks has passed since I decided to launch my new nice blog and I have some information to share with you.
So what have I done this week:
This week I have been doing some Guerilla marketing on forums and it have given me some visitor, the worst thing with this is that I feel like a spammer since the only reason that I am participating on their forums is that I want some free traffic.
The visitors I got generally came from two forums so I will focus my efforts on those two forums and try provide some valuable content to them and hopefully get some more visitors and maybe a link.
I have also added my site to Microsoft Live Search, Yahoo Search (Yahoo requires registration) and the Open Directory Project.
I have been updating the blog daily with at least one post and will continue to do this until I get some decent results in the SERP (Search Engine Result Page) , then I might decrease the posting frequency depending on what Google Analytics tells me.
As you can see on the Traffic Source Overview image below there are some traffic coming from the search engines.
Keyword ranks on Google:
keyword #1 186
keyword #2 97
keyword #3 45
On the image below you can see some statistics regarding the visitors.
What´s next:
The following week am I going to find some great blogs that touches my niche and do some serious commenting to draw some attention to my new niche blog.
I am also going to continue to fill my blog with good content, at least one post per day.
Create a list of 5 topics that suits for long blog posts.
If you dont know how to get started with wordpress I would like to recommend a blogger that recently started a series of blog post on how to do just that.
To be sure not to miss out week 3 I recomend you to add me on Twitter or sign up for my RSS feed.

Hi Rick, I’ve found your blog a couple of days ago and found your post interesting especially the one on changing your niche. I was wondering what niche had you started your blog under and what are you changing it to now? That would be interesting to see how that does go for you… but would like to know what niche you are changing to. Thanks I’ll be back and check you out. JJ
