At the end of each week I am going to give a brief rundown of the stats for the site attempting to rank for the competitive “debt” related term as part of my make money online experiment for beginners. Feel free to chime in and let me know if you want something else to be tracked in this list.

Not too much activity on my part less than two weeks into this experiment. All I have done is write two longish articles about the niche and gotten some decent links from blog carnivals. These links alone have me ranking 6th for the title of my blog (a really long tail of the keyword I am targeting) and I expect to be ranking #1 for that term in a couple of weeks if I don’t get in the Google sandbox between now and then. I suspect just a few more carnival links should put me over the top.
I plan on keeping up the same pace of post creation and link acquiring at least through the end of March. One post a week, one to two carnivals a week, and one article submission a week. I may start to throw some comments in there, but I haven’t really come up with a good plan of tracking those yet so I think I will hold off on that for now.
I suspect that when I do begin to comment I will do so generously on dofollow and nofollow blogs. This should make my link profile look a lot more natural and maybe even make my little blog a few friends! Friends can be very helpful when trying to make some money online.
