Np Rob, and thanks for the kind words…

@InfoBarrel Ryan

Nice, thanks for letting us know Ryan.

Hey Mike, we actually do have Google Analytics tracking, but only for preapproved members.

It was kind of in beta for awhile, then we snuck it into the preferences on preapproved members pages; basically you just need to setup an infobarrel.com account in your Google Analytics then place the variable it spits out into your account.

4 years ago I never had to work this hard to make a few pennies. I’d put up a site or landing page, do minimal keyword research, then setup the adwords campaign. Drop the losers, keep the winners. It was pretty simple math, no seo work at all.

But adwords is very critical today. Hammering affiliate sites regardless of clickthru or budget.

So here I am today starting the niche keyword and article marketing. Much more intense research, analysis, and tracking. SEO is a moving target and backlinks are like the ammunition. Even so, you can’t shoot with just blanks. I have sites with thousands of links that get no ranking or pr love. The backlinks gotta have some lead in them.

I appreciate your feedback on senuke and firepow. I’m sitll on the fence with them, just waiting for my sites to generate 2 or 3 times the cost of those services. UAW however, I’ll be sure to hit your link when I decide to jump on that. I just need to get a grip on everything I’m doing now. I still haven’t nailed down a consistent process of research and development. For example, if I went back to do everything over again this month, I’m not so sure I’d come up with the same niches and keywords.

You’re a good man to continue sharing. You’re very good at quantifying your results and explaining the significance and impact of each task. Very few have that kind of clarity, which I believe would make you a very good teacher should you chose to mentor and/or write a “how to” book.

There’s no analytics tracking as of yet so you can’t find out which page gives you the clicks, however you can track all the income from Infobarrel as a whole by going to “Adsense Setup” – “Channels” – “URL Channels” then adding “infobarrel.com” as a channel.

When you get income from them it will then show as:

Infobarrel.com $1.28

As far as thinking what will work long term, you need to cut that out and do what works NOW! This is all fear based nonsense. SENuke works like crazy and is what I used to boost my aff income up from $300/month to $600 the next month a few months back.

As far as Firepow is concerned I’ve mainly been using it to make it easier for me to pump out sniper sites fast, I haven’t been using it’s other features as of late as I haven’t got time, although it’s content blitz looks interesting.

Only pick up programs though if you’re committed to applying them and your business can pay for them. I would say UAW is definitely something you should be focusing on first and foremost though…

@Dusty

Nice Dusty!

@David

Dave, I wouldn’t say my Adsense income is increasing. Sometimes my Adsense spikes like this…the spike wasn’t due to Hubpages or Infobarrel, they’re both still bringing in pennies as far as my overall adsense income is concerned.

And ya, it sucks having all this out there and not having it produce anything :/ I’m determined to see it through though as I know it can be done.

I have submitted the feed of the author however I haven’t had time to bookmark all my Hubs/Infobarrels as of late, been busy trying to pump out more hubs/barrels.

I’m just going to focus on exactly what Ben has done, when he made all the money he did, all he did was Hubs/Infobarrels/Ezines ..so that’s all I’m going to do, BMD will be something to add on only if I have time.

@jen

Ya, it seems like this is normal when it comes to affiliate income and even adsense income has it. Good thing there are no $0 days or refunds with adsense though.

Good thing I like roller coasters.

Have you considered using RSS Submit/RSS Bot to submit your articles to RSS directories to create more backlinks? (of course create a feed first with RSS Mix or Feedity) How about using Bookmarking Demon to bookmark those articles or the feeds you create?

Just a thought to help create more links to your articles
