Last week, I received a good reminder from a blogging friend of mine who runs a mens clothing website about the need to earn income from blogging.
Why do I say need? Because even if you are a blogger who does it just for the fun of blogging, unless you are running a free blog from WordPress or Blogger, you are probably spending money on your website. And even free sites have a bit of cost in terms of time spent in not only content creation, but also marketing and optimization. So, unless you are already independently wealthy, it is a good idea to consider some revenue generation on any site that you own, if for no other reason than to recover the basic costs of running your website between the domain purchase, hosting and time spent.

I am a numbers person. So naturally, when my oes tsetnoc entry plummeted in the SERP’s after getting indexed and ranked in the #2 position in five days, I decided to do a little analysis. Of course, what initially started as a simple look at numbers turned into a relatively in-depth analysis.
Statistics as of September 21, 2009
The chart above includes oes tsetnoc sites that are similar to mine, in the sense that they are new domains (created after September 10th for this contest) and they are blogs.
This analysis looks at:
- Yahoo backlinks – total number of incoming links
- Yahoo .edu backlinks – number of incoming links from .edu sites
- Alexa Rank – determined by traffic (the lower the number, the more traffic)
- Google Indexed – number of pages indexed by Google
- Sitemap
- Google SERP – position in search results for oes tsetnoc
- Keyword Density – percent of keywords vs. number of words on homepage
- Blog Posts – total number of blog posts
- Blog Comments – total number of blog comments and pingbacks/trackbacks
- Home Stumbles – number of reviews on StumbleUpon for main homepage
- Home Reddits – number of Reddit votes for main homepage
- Home Mixx – number of Mixx votes for main homepage
- Technorati – number of blog reactions on Technorati
- Total Diggs – total number of Digg votes for both homepage and individual posts
- Total Delicious – total number of Delicious bookmarks for both homepage and individual posts
So what does this information tell me? Aside from missing the main goal of being ranked highest in Google SERP’s, this site seems to be doing really good. I have the highest Alexa ranking (therefore the highest traffic), the most blog comments, and most social mentions (with exception to Twitter). My keyword density is not the highest or lowest. My backlinks aren’t too few or many, but are a far cry from the top ranked site in this contest.

Oes Tsetnoc now has a Ning network. This network was created for participants in the SEO contest and any of those who are following it.
Creating a profile on the Oes Tsetnoc Ning Network will give you a dofollow link back to your website. You can also create groups to discuss certain aspects of the contest (optimization, social media, problems, etc), watch videos on SEO and find some useful SEO resources.

Does anyone else feel like checking your ranking for a particular keyword (like oes tsetnoc while being in this contest) could be a bad thing? The more you check, the more variance you see in a short time period, the more unnecessary stress you bring upon yourself, and the more defeated you may start to feel?
Yesterday, I started the day off on a positive note that the site had been indexed and was in the #2 position on Google. But then, I checked later and found that I had been moved down to #9 thanks to some recent new entries. And now, I’ve been blasted off the map it seems.
The first milestone of getting to the top of search engine results has been achieved… oes tsetnoc is indexed, and ranked #2 in Google results – in less than 5 days!
Although Google is the only search engine that is relevant to the contest, I found it interesting that neither Yahoo or Bing have picked up either this domain or the .com version. I guess this proves their site indexing is much slower than Google’s.

The next step in setting up this site was to choose how I would manage the content. Naturally, since I love doing WordPress customizations, that was the simplest choice. Plus, I believe that blogging allows you to keep fresh content, which is an attractive quality to search engines and visitors alike.
WordPress Installation
GoDaddy makes the WordPress installation process quite simple in their GoDaddy Hosting Connection center. All I had to do was choose to install the application, answer a few questions relating to installation directories, usernames and passwords, and GoDaddy did the rest. The application installation process generally takes under half an hour, and they will email you once it is ready to go.
Theme Selection
Since the goal of this SEO contest is to get your site indexed and optimized as quickly as possible to move to the #1 ranking, the ideal choice of theme was Thesis – the best WordPress SEO theme. While the theme doesn’t come with as much graphical beauty as many other themes, it comes fully ready to be optimized without having to do many additional plugins or code modifications.

Blog Commenting and High PageRank
by Oes Tsetnoc in Link Building with 33 Comments
One method of building up one way links quickly is by commenting on dofollow blogs, an on-going method of link building I am utilizing for oes tsetnoc.
When you search for dofollow blogs, you will find lots of lists geared toward blogs with high PageRank. The important thing to remember with these blogs is that, unless the site has a top commentator list, your link will not likely be on the homepage, the highest ranked page of their site.
