Blogging to the Bank Deja Vu

The other day I wrote about this new info product.

As I was looking at my Adsense stats, something about the manual clicked in my mind.

I was looking down the list of revenue per channel and I saw the name of a little blog I put up (way before I ever started blogging here).

I put up about 22 posts and left it for “bigger and better things”… (I thought). I was going to build a great big website on the same theme, not settle for this little raggedy blog.

While I’ve long forgot about the website, this little blog sits there in cyberspace.

Looking at my Google reports, the blog originated February 10th, 2005.

Since then, without adding any new posts, without promoting it, without even thinking about the darn thing, it’s generated $494.65.

What was so funny is that I didn’t even do things “right” according to the Blogging to the Bank manual.

By dumb luck I used the same platform… the same template… but didn’t use any of the other strategies designed to turn the blog into an “affiliate program” funnel.

I DID try to focus on a niche in a particular field using supply/demand data from search engine inquiries.

In other words, without realizing it, I’ve already confirmed in my own experience this precise phenomenon.

I’m testing a tweaking using the stuff in the manual, but I was struck after reviewing these logs just how right on this analysis is.

Happy blogging with it!
