BlogWithZee.com is actually my second blog. Before this, I created a blog for the affiliate promotion for a game guide of an online game, Aion.

That blog address is aionmastery.affiliatemasterplan.info

The address isn’t that too SEO friendly, I guess. I set up the blog based on the keyword “Aion Mastery”. This blog came out on page 2 of Google for that keyword. And I did it over 1 week.

Not bad I think. I won’t blab too much on whether the affiliate marketing was a success on that site. Ok, I will just say it’s not successful. One thing I found out was that the guide wasn’t that too great anyway. If I had done my research, I would have advertised for another guide that is better in quality. I didn’t splatter the site with Google Adsense and other adverts at that time. But upon writing this post, I did just that.

What I want to say in this post is I’ve used a certain resource to get at that page 2 of Google. Its Google Sniper. Get it here.

I read Google Sniper and refer to it constantly while creating that blog. Although I did not follow everything in there, such as not using domains with a .info in them, I just had to try with methods that is economical to me as a start. I believe if I continue to optimize the site for the same keywords, it would make page 1 on SERPS. But, I guess I’d leave it as it is and try a different product that I have researched properly in the future.

I won’t give any further info on what’s in Google Sniper here, as it is copyrighted. I would just say that it gave me the information I needed to top Google Searches for that particular keyword. The information in the e-book is useful, relevant and most importantly works.

Another resource that helped me a lot is Do Fellow software. Get it here.

What it does is search for blogs based on your keywords and return its corresponding PageRank. You then choose which blog post you want to leave a comment. This is very useful and very important.

When I used the keywords “Aion Mastery” to search other similar blogs, I started commenting on blogs that has high PageRank. This helped in ranking my site amongst others for the keyword search. Like John Chow mentioned in his e-book…

“… commenting your way to the top…”

However, I did not just go around and comment something like, “Nice blog.” Or something that has no relation to the blog post I’m commenting. I actually read the post and give my constructive comments. This way, the administrator would appreciate my comments more and would unlikely delete it or mark it as spam. This is VERY important. Otherwise all the effort would go to waste.

I have a few other affiliate products that I have in mind to promote them this way. But I’ve been busy with this blog, as this is has much more meaning to me and is more fun writing.

Why don’t you be curious and try the two resources that I’ve used, get the results and post a comment here?

Until next time… Good luck sniping…

As of now, I just had a two hour nap before sitting down and pouring in my thoughts for today’s topic.

I guess consistency is important to have a successful blog. I read somewhere that statistics show 94% of blogs in the blogosphere are not updated. I certainly do not want www.blogwithzee.com to be in that 94 percentile. Of course, it may be too early to say now that I am only in the eight blog post. To really be consistent in blogging a post each day for the next few months may not be that easy. However, I am determined to put in that effort so that these initial efforts are not gone to waste.

John Chow mentioned in his free e-book that…

“A non-updated blog is a dead blog”, page 9, para. 6

I have to totally agree with this. I mean, it doesn’t need rocket science to come up with that phrase. It’s just common sense but true in all its essence. However, whether or not my efforts are fruitful becomes another part of how successful this blog is.

John also mentioned that…

“You cannot exist without readers…”, page 9, para. 7

I do not know who my readers are, if any. I suppose the only way to know is for my readers to leave comments about my blog post. So far, I have only 1 comment in my maiden post. That comment was very encouraging too. I left a comment on his blog, and he returned the favour. His was a PageRank 2 blog. Mine is still zero.

There is really no point in trying to rush to reach success. I’d probably fail doing that. John Chow took several months before his blog actually became a growing success. I shouldn’t try to cut everything short unless it was a miracle, and miracles don’t happen to everyone.

Talking about comments, I’m going to search for 2 plug-ins referred to in John’s book as a must-haves for blogs, namely “Subscribe to Comments” and “Top Commentators Widget”.

Now, back to the live blog… see you later…
