So I get this really great idea for a website based on some jinky things I know about a former employer. I go snooping into using his name as a keyword search and I come back with internet gold as the keyword is worth over ten bucks a click. So, I go and get in my Adsense blog mode, ready to rip and run while listening to Eminem’s new album. I start searching for domain names, get my site hosted, run my super dopalicious Fantastico Deluxe and then get through my configurations. Within an hour, I got a new site and ready for some content.
Well, I got the front end of this making money with Adsense business down. I can get a new website up in a day with basic content, ready to hit the road running on all cylinders. So, this new Adsense blog now becomes my main focus since I have some deep arcane knowledge about this subject. So, I’m slinging content like Mc Donald’s slings Mc Nuggets, blasting my site with some nice stuff. Then, I start throwing some articles to Ezine, start jumping on some trade secrets over at KWA, and start getting some decent links going. Within a couple of days, my site has quickly jumped into the top ten on Google and I started pouring more time into the website.
Now, I’m not using any jinky methods of link building but putting in some serious hours at building some of my sites. Well, I guess Google doesn’t quite understand the difference between my hard work and others who buy links.
I wake up today and my new blog site has disappeared from the top ten. It’s not even in the top hundred. It has completely disappeared from that keyword listing. I thought it was a mistake. I kept checking back, but it is not there. So, I heard all this talk about getting sandboxed and looked into it.
Well, I think my site is now sitting in some kitty litter waiting for a nice friendly pooper scooper to put it back in Google. I should have stuck with the teachings of Court and let the site marinate for a minute. But I got too excited for my new Adsense Blog site and wanted it to prosper quickly. Now, its flat lining and I hope someday to resuscitate before I have to pull life support.
But it taught me a valuable lesson. I need to slow down on my link building and let my site get some age and wisdom.
I sure know I need some.
