Well I thought it was pointless providing progress updates the last couple of weeks and of course the past 8 weeks I haven’t really done any internet marketing at all.
Thanks to wordpress goldmine though, things could not be better, given the circumstances.
Someone criticised my progress a few weeks ago which I thought was unfair given the fact we have been dealing with the estate of my now dead father in law who died suddenly from a heart attack, in the street.
Now thankfully most of the stuff is behind me and all I can say is WATCH THIS SPACE for May!
Now on to the results.
My Adsense dropped a little bit compared to last month by 36%
Adsense £5.48 (£8.63 last month)
I know why the drop was significant. Last month I had a single click from one site for £1.98 and that site hasnt had any further promotion from me yet.
And really this isnt a good measure on just 5 or 6 sites.
Clickbank earnings £0.00
Amazon was a good result: I doubled the number of clicks to over 200 and the earnings came out at almost double compared to last month too. Not bad for zero work.
Amazon earnings: $7.04 (USD) or £4.60
As for referring new people to WPGM I increased the signups for a third month in a row, with one per month.
This is all testament to the fact that this WORKS.
I am wholly convinced beyond ANY reasonable doubt whatsoever and now have been a member since October 2010.
The ONLY reason I’m not doing hundreds per month yet is because of the family death and everything we’ve had to do since then – the whole affair was left for me and my wife to deal with.
6 sites up, 5 are on page 1 with 2 of them at position 1 in the search engines.
I know that I can build a site a day if I want to, but I also know that in a lot of the cases you need to continually work on each site adding backlinks, pushing them higher up the rankings and keeping them there.
I have friends who can build one site a day and with great research do little else to them until they need it – a nice approach, but to encompass all kinds of sites we need to push all methods.
i.e. diversify…
Now, I can go on and on and on about this for hours as it’s something I went into very thoroughly a few years ago and I intend to get some reports written up to give away in the future to explain what I mean…
Thanks
Shaun
p.s. read my Wordpress Goldmine review and decide for yourself if your life is worth changing. I dont know what else I can say. It works, period. When you stop thinking all about the hype, spam, crap and stupidness that exists and you have a clear head, then that is the moment in your life when you need to make a proper and sensible decision. Stay clear of the crap that clutters the net.

If you have anything to do with using Wordpress as a blog platform then you are going to want (and need) to know what your sites particular position is, in Google.
Further more you will want to know the exact phrases people “actually” type in that result in your site getting shown.
Announcing the Ranktrackerplugin
Rank Tracker
Now, imagine uploading a simple plugin which is a 1 minute task and then… that’s it..! It will send you an email telling you where your site sits in Google, it’s PR (Page Rank) and for which phrase it ranks for, but more importantly it only shows data for phrases when people type them in!
This means it is extremely reliable.
All you then need to do is create a few backlinks to that particular URL for that phrase and enjoy the show.
Nothing could be simpler than this!
This is the typical email you will receive:
There has been a change in your Google rankings!
http://yourdomain.com/ is now ranking at number 7 in Google for the keyword phrase: your domain’s phrase
It was previously ranking at number 6.
This is one of those rare MUST HAVE tools that I strongly recommend you buy, today without any hesitation whatsoever.
Why?
because I use it, and in using it it’s given me a distinct advantage over the competition.
I know the ACTUAL PHRASE people type into Google and which page of my site shows for that phrase.
Take a look at this video then press the order button below to take advantage, ok?
I don’t recommend just anything because I am not prepared to ruin my good standing for the sake of a few short minded sales.
I use this, it works. Its easy and simple and it gives you the information you need at your fingertips.
Why randomly create backlinks to your pages not fully knowing if they will rank or not?
Focus on the ones that are ranking and THEN create backlinks that push that backlink higher.
Buy The RankTracker Plugin Now
I promoise you, you won’t be disappointed.
Let me know how you get on and what you thought of it – I love it, and armed with the knowledge you can make huge strides in your progress.
If you want to know how to get your site indexed by Google click this instead.
Thanks!
Shaun

Hi everyone,
This is the month I start putting a heap more time into things, so expect to see alot more activity posted and soon, better results being listed!
Its a public holiday here in the Uk, and with the family at home it is difficult to put too much work in, and of course this week and maybe next week I will be helping out my former boss for the last time.
Anyway, Yesterday I saw the following (for zero effort 
)
Adsense £0.18
Amazon £0.00
Clickbank £0.00
General thoughts. I find myself chasing terms and phrases that don’t always have high search volumes, but it is more of an ego boost, so a self-note to myself – stop worrying and focus on the high search numbers.
I know we are taught to chase the phrases with small search volume amounts, of at least 1000 to 5000 searches per month and that is great and of course do-able, but Mark hinted in his update that it’s possible with the extra tools in the article dominance review to actually dominate higher searched terms over a longer period of time. (NOTE: Everything inside the article dominance report can be accessed inside of Wordpress Goldmine, and of course you can access the Wordpress Goldmine $1 trial for yes, just one dollar.)
And this REALLY whetted my appetite.
I found a phrase that I normally overlook – something like 150,000 searches a month, or 5000 a day.
yes I needed hundreds and hundreds of backlinks, possibly thousands and the competition was stuff but if you imagine that over, say 5 years you work at this goal and one day break through and get onto page 1, the top 2 or 3, this could mean 1000 to 2500 hits a day to that site or page.
Now if you were selling a product that made you $50 profit on it, this could easily equate to 10 or 20 sales… a day…
Hmm…
Now the thought of doing 20 x $50, or $1000 a day which is the same as ahem.. $365,000 a year is kind of scary and exciting.
Your thoughts?

Income Opportunity Home Based Business
Income Opportunity Home Based Business
Hi, My name is Shaun Baird. That’s me at the top of the Blog 
.
I have to tell you all about the ideal income opportunity (in my opinion) but I just quickly want to touch on something.
Looking at your life, when you are down and out, and life is bringing you nothing but misery after misery and stress after stress, each day seems like a constant headache.
I know it’s hard when life gets tough and I know all you want to do is “work on your business ideas” but there is never enough time. The kids won’t let you and the other half always seems to have something for you to do.
The house always needs tidying and it always seems to be left down to you, so that you are always in a constant state of “limbo”.
Well that was my life until October 2009 when I decided upon my own home based business. It had to have the following magical ingredients to be worth it:
1: Give me passive income
2: Be real
3: Not actually be an “opportunity”, where you have to join and refer others.
4: Be able to stand the test of time.
That’s all I wanted, something honest and legitiate I could just knuckle down and get working at.
So with that in mind I looked at a few ideas for starting my own business – brick and mortar businesses, mlm programs (for the passive income opportunity – you just cant beat money that kesp on coming in long after you’ve done all the hard work), and selling things on eBay.
I eventually made contact with a really good old friend who I’d co-worked with about 6 years ago. Back then he was doing things with blogs and all that sort of stuff but it didn’t interest me so I carried on building websites and growing a mailing list.
When I crossed paths with him again in October 2009 he told me he was still doing blogs and was actually making SERIOUS amounts of money – over 5 figures every month.
It always seems to be everyone else who has the success!
Grr!
Anyway, my money had dried up and to cut a long story short I gave it a go, even though my heart wasn’t really interested in it.
Fast forward 8 months and I couldn’t be happier. I am amazed that I have actually enjoyed doing this when I started it not being really bothered.
It’s because it actually works – for once. The one thing I’d avoided is the one thing that works, and very well.
I’ve actually managed to see huge success. I’ve learned so much, and I’ve managed to get my blog(s) sitting VERY NICELY on page 1 of Google, and seeing the benefits of that too.
If you are looking for an opportunity to make income that can be a great home based business then why not join me on the Wordpress Goldmine One Dollar Trial.
Now if you can drag yourself into trying something that you’ve overlooked a dozen times and telling yourself you will give it an honest shot for 3 or more months then I will be happy to help you if you need it. The good thing is that this way of making money doesn’t need any hype added by me because it sells itself, purely because it works.
Isn’t that a refreshing difference?
So if you have your eyes half open right now I’d better add that you’ll get access to the main ebook (which by the way gets updated regularly), plus a ton of videos, and of course the MAIN HUB which is the core reason why “all this stuff” works -the forum.
It aint like any other forum (you have to see it to believe it – only because there isn’t any negativity, and there are tens or dozens of people online at any one time and everyone chips in to help each other).
Heather for instance, and George and at least a couple dozen more have only been with it for a year or so and are now reporting their income each month in the “success” section of the forum. The income is well into the high hundreds and more, each month.
Also, the best thing is that the income is honestly passive to the point you can go away on vacation for as long as you want and the money keeps on coming in.
For the price of a bar of candy it really has got to be worth you checking out Wordpress Goldmine and giving it a 3 month shot.
It’s simple, and easy and every day you try something else is another day you have to work for a boss.
It’s your life, your choice, but only if you can be honest with yourself and try something which perhaps didn’t really interest you.
Thanks
Shaun

Well today drew zero in terms of revenue, but in terms of “number of hits received” – it has given another good day in fact the number has increased for one domain due to the fact one site is now going into its main season (an annual event). I must see if I can increase site CTR on that site.
I am seeing ongoing traffic to my regular blog, my domains, and to my backlinks.
Yesterday I wrote 2 more articles for low hanging fruit search terms.
So onwards and upwards.. this month is going to be slow and poor in terms of money but its the first real month Im pushing hard so watch this space over the coming weeks!
I love wordpress goldmine!
Adsense: £0.00
Amazon £0.00
Clickbank £0.00
yay!

Well just as here in the Uk the govornment are preparing to see who will lead our country for the next 5 years I am preparing too.
Today is my first full time day of Internet Marketing.
The real hard slog begins next week as I still have a few things left to tie up, but I am excited for the battle ahead.
Anyway, as for the results of “again” no work being done for almost 6+ weeks lets take a look, just for the sake of keeping a record:
Adsense £0.02
Amazon £0.45 (3 sales, 2o of which have been shipped)
Clickbank £0.00 (but starting to gte a lot more “order page” views buy visitors)
So that’s my free money done, Ive got a new PC coming today at some point, plus some tasks to get on with so Ill get another update out in the coming days.
No more sitting stale, I am going to be increasing: Number of sites built and number of backlinks to each site. That is my aim from now on so each month ends report should see ongoing increases starting with the end of this month.
After a few weeks I am hoping to see gradual daily increases so that should then begin to be an exciting story to read.

Each day I work tirelessly and think I’ve got all the methods down to a tee, and all I need to do is work the magic.
Then I read in the Wordpress Goldmine forum how a friend has turned a simple blog that makes $50 a month into a blog that makes $600 a month, every month.
Then I read to find out how it only took him 4 weeks to accomplish this!!!!
It’s times like these when I am completely and TRULY blown away.
Folks, if you haven’t yet realised this then you need to take a second look. LIFE IS PASSING YOU BY.
He has been using a simple wordpress plugin called Rank Tracker.
Click that link for my full review of it.
In a nutshell what he has been doing is taking the results of the ranking notifications that get delivered via email for your domain.
Then creating backlinks based on THOSE “actual” phrases people are actively typing in. That’s the sweet beauty of the plugin. It’s based on ACTUAL “live” searches made by people that day – it gives you the phrase and your ranking position for it.
So if you are anything like me – dreaming of success. Listen to this. (It’s a blueprint!)
Step 1: Join Wordpress Goldmine
Step 2: Get the Rank Tracker plugin.
Step 3: Ask me for help!
Guru’s try to convince people that all this internet markekting is hard – it’s NOT. I am constantly shocked how easy it is – people tend to over complicate things when there really is no need.
Come on, commit to the next 3-6 months and let’s see what magic we can work, and I’ll help you out.
It’s only $1 for 7 days access to Wordpress Goldmine.

Well, as the old saying goes, there aint no smoke without a fire.
Right now there’s a lot of smoke, and just for the sake of getting a pun into this blog post, things are progressing nicely, and a fire is rumbling underneath it all!
Adsense: £0.00 (BIG jump in traffic though!)
Amazon £0.40 (3rd item from yesterday got shipped)
Clickbank £0.00
OK so it’s still small numbers but in another aspect when you look at the business overall, it continues to tick along nicely.
Traffic still flows. This is key.
One of my sites saw a really big spike in traffic yesterday and I noticed traffic coming from bt.com search engine which has provided much of the extra boost, especially since my site’s inner page is ranked in position one there.
And for those people who have just arrived here – yes I’ve been doing this since October 2009, but my father in law passed away around the same time and we have had to deal with his estate which has been time consuming, to say the least.
I’ve actually committed to working at this game full time now so I’m expecting to see good rises steadily each month.
What did surprise me is the site whose pages went to position one, and the spike in traffic – giving over 70 unique vistors a day which is over 2000 a month, so now my mind is sharpening up and I need to focus on getting the most bang for buck from that site.

Ok, since I decided to leave my job to focus on Internet marketing full time I have been dealing with a few last minute issues (and still got some more) but at last I’ve been able to put in some quality time building backlinks.
The rank tracker plugin for wordpress I purchased a few weeks ago is REALLY doing me some justice!
It’s showing me phrases now I hadn’t even thought about, and yesterday I got set to work on one phrase.
Today that phrase now dominates PAGE 1 of Google in
around 7 or 8 slots out of 10 – some would say that is a great result.
Not bad for 3-4 hours of work.
On to today I have been building backlinks to a second phrase and just 2 hours later I’ve checked and already have THREE
links on page 1 of Google (two of which are in positions one and two).
Am I excited?
YOU BET I AM!!!!
Work hard on your dreams – or should I say work SMART!
All I have done is become a real student and follow the advice I have been slowly learning at Wordpress Goldmine.
I joined in October 2009 and at the same time was left with some devastating news that basically put me out of the picture for 5 or 6 months.
Now, I’m working and aim to get there. Why not join me and quit doing stupid business opportunituies – work for yourself and work at your pace.
Take care
Shaun
UPDATE:
Ive just checked and the first phrase from yesterday now habitats all first ten places on Google
Now I need to translate this methodology into high paying keywords and work the magic.
