Links


After a long dry spell Link Experiment has sold 2 more links for $435 bringing the site’s grand total to $13,706. Maybe we will crack $15,000 afterall. The homepage still has a google pagerank of 5 and there are now multiple links that have been on the homepage for over 200 days. Killsometime.com has been on the homepage longest at 253 days.

From when I went to bed last night $283 in sales came in. Looks like a good amount of the sales are coming from my adwords campaigns so I’ll continue on with that and try to expand and increase my budget for it as well. I’m also looking to get into the PPC/affiliate game as well. I’ll need to spend a lot of time at the google adwords tutorials and at shoemoney’s blog to help get my skills down.

Marathon Training starts today. Think I’ll kick it off with an 18 mile long run. I’ll increase it to 22 miles over the next month. Boston here I come!

Someone offered $500 for the first link spot! Unfortunately, it was for an adult site, so the high link stays at $401. Lucky for the guy who bid $401, he would have only had the #1 spot for a day, that’s the danger in outbidding #1 by only $1, makes it all the easier to be knocked off.

New #1 link for just a buck more than the last one. New link is for PC Cleaning Software. The last #1 stayed at that spot for 12 days. The new link also takes linkexperiment above $8,000 so we’re getting very close to the $10,000 marker, very exciting!

I’ve bought a few more advertising links and it looks like i’ll be buying quite a few more. Let’s get this sucker over 10 Grand!

So the grand total for yesterday was 44 links for over $1,200. At 9 AM today the total is already over $450, so on pace to surpass even yesterday. This all seems so crazy, I always thought it might happen something like this.

shoemoneyWe’ve got a new #1 link and it’s from just about the only blog I read regularly. Shoemoney’s Skills to Pay the Bills is, in my opinion, the best resource for internet advertising, marketing, and money making. He’s got a radio show called Net Income, which gives real insight to making money on the web from people who are very good at it. I’m glad Shoemoney’s got the #1 spot, check out his site if you get a chance and take a listen to his show.

The second link to stay on the homepage for 121 days has just gone under. 4 months on the homepage, not bad. If you look at how long other links have lasted you can see how it pays to take the top link as opposed to buying a middle of the page link. Although it may make more sense to buy middle of the page strictly for SEO purposes and not for traffic.

I’ll have updates on the contest as it gets running.

Someone has purchased a new high link for $100. It’s for a blogging review site, you pay to get blogs about your own site. It looks like it’s an affiliate link so I won’t put one up here, if you’re interested use the one on the homepage.

So the two goals I set out a couple weeks ago, of reaching $1,000 and getting a high bid of $100, have now been met. I think it’s time to be bold for the site’s next goal. $10,000 in links sold, with a new high link of $1,000. The site has been growing at a very fast rate recently and I don’t think it will be all too long before this next goal is acheived.

I was browsing around some blogs and I came across one that had some drink recipies. I’m not a big drinker, but I will drink occasionally, and when I do I refuse to drink beer. The list there is a nice one and the drinks look tastey. The list is taken from the Life After Coffee Blog. It’s run by Jon Emmons an oracle database administrator at Plymouth State University. His blog covers all sorts of topics and all posts are very well written. Check it out when you get a chance.
