Here is what I've been busy with since last time I updated:
Installed and set up Yourls (Your own URL shortener). Just wanted to make site appear more brandable with my own link shortener. It is not as great as I thought, but is definitely better than standard link.
After realising that Clicky...
Okay, the newsletter results.
Email Newsletter
First, I want to tell you how I got the emails in the newsletter. I had one article, which was kind of a troll, and engaged quite well and had a decent discussion under it. I took the emails of all the participants and chucked them in my mail chimp...
Wanted to post a small update on what is going on right now.
I created 3 reddit accounts with verified emails. I will use those to supply relevant content to my niche as well as dropping content to my site, with minimum of 2 links, one being to my site and others to the competition. This to be...
No, there is 2. But the other one goes to another reddit post I created a few days ago.
What else could I link too? There is no reviews, no nothing, just the product page for that thing, that's all.
Just want to share something exciting real quick. The last traffic leaking attempt in total generated about 1,500 visits (and is still bringing people in). That said, the offers I had there were FREE for a limited time, and are not free anymore. That is actually a good thing, because people...
@Kimoto, I am not sure if this is what you are asking, but I hate creating text posts. I simply submit a link with a what I think is a nice title and let it do its job. However, forums require texts and its hard to actually place a link in it and get past moderators, unless its a subtle traffic...
Here is what was done in the past 10 days since the last update and a small reflection on recent activity:
1. I kept interacting on the main forum, which is my main traffic leaking platform. I've been providing some helpful advices for people having issues and questions. Really, being helpful...
Just wanted to give a small update on what is going on at the moment.
I will admit I did very little over the Christmas/New Years time period. However, all assignments are now complete and everything is all caught up and I am really looking forward to do traffic leaking the right way and...
Here is the update on my progress.
From the last post:
Top Priority To-Do:
Add Sign up for newsletter at the bottom of each post - DONE
Validate the code (at least what I can) - Partially DONE. Didn't have much time to go through all of the code and fix the errors. Will finish of when I get...
I'm using Evernote to keep all of my notes on mac and iPhone, so they are always synced and I can see and use them anywhere. Very convenient.
Thanks @MoneyStalker for pointing it out! I've actually seen it beofre and I was wondering how it would perform. Well, I deactivated caching and...
Hi everyone! Here is a quick update on my progress:
12/12/1, 13/12/14 and 14/12/14:
I spent far too long playing around with site speed and optimization due to not knowing how to set up caching and CDN correctly. Also .htaccess file was a bit of a mess too, but now everything is almost...
Thanks for your advice, @MoneyStalker, I wish you've said it earlier. For these past 3-4 days I've been having a real hard time speeding my site up. Mostly because caching plugins should be set up by someone who knows how to set them up correctly. Check out more in the post below.
Work in progress...
The site went back live after the CDN was disabled. However, after setting up W3 Caching plugin to minify CSS, JS and HTML, the whole website got messed up. The layout, the fonts, the buttons, everything. I thought maybe after disabling the plugin things would get back to...
What is your approach in this technique? Are you just being a casual forum user, asking questions and replying to some, or are you going all in and already posting links to your site?
Okay, almost everyone seems to have started working on their websites and I want to share some things I have done, need to do and how I am going to do it.
*Recap: My site is informative/entertainment type in consumer electronics niche. The site posts news and some interesting, semi quality...
