If you missed the previous parts of the 10 Day Cash Secret

endep 25

Case Study, here they are:
10 Day Cash Secret Case Study Part 0
10 Day Cash Secret Case Study Part 1
10 Day Cash Secret Case Study Part 2

So it’s been 17 days since the site has been set up.

In these 17 days, I’ve also heard folks telling me that I shouldn’t reveal the actual URLs of sites as they will be de-indexed very quickly as soon as Google hears of it.

I heard that’s what happened to Brad Fallon’s wildly popular Wedding Favours site, which he showcased during the launch of Stompernet. And that was supposed to be a site that earned more than a million dollars a year.

Anyway, here’s the status of the site so far:

Looks pretty good eh? Especially considering the fact that it took me less than an hour, including learning time!

I could easily set up ten of these in a day, let their rankings grow, then come back in a month to sell them off. And I would probably have made a little bit off affiliate sales and Adsense clicks in the meantime.

Talk about turbo-charged website flipping.

*Update: I’m posting this one day after I wrote it, and Google seems to be eating up my pages at an alarming rate. Check it out.

Okay, so I’ve more or less completed all I need to do for the case study.

I decided not to put up a custom header due to lack of time. I’ve added the site to the 3WL network , and implemented two out of the 3 promotional techniques Neil talked about.

Namely, I created a Sitemap, added the sitemap to Google, and created an additional link from a free wordpress blog. I skipped the step for adding the RSS feed to the blog, but I couldn’t get the plugins to work, and I felt lazy.

A results-wise update.

It’s been 4 days since the blog was up, it’s already been indexed. I thought that was pretty good, considering the amount of effort I took to implement the steps, and the fun and sense of satisfaction involved :)

I have this devious plan to perhaps sell the site once it manages to get some good ranking or even pagerank, and the sale alone should be worth more than the purchase price already.

No idea if I’ll be able to get some adsense clicks or even affiliate sales though. If I do, I guess they’re just bonuses, and shouldn’t amount to too much money.

I’ll update you more on the results when I see something significant. So, as a tentative conclusion to the case study, here are some vital links.

I’m on a case-study-spree these days.

I want to concentrate on the SpeedPPC

case study, but I’ve got 10 Day Cash

for awhile already, and since the process takes less than an hour from start to finish, according to what Neil says, I decided to do this first instead.

Basically, the idea is to set up a wordpress blog, get a datafeed from a merchant, and traffic and sales will come following that. Because this datafeed is supposed to be fed to the blog slowly, it seems like it is being updated very regularly and thus will get high rankings.

I’ve already bought the domain name and have the feed ready. So the next step is just reviewing the videos and setting things up.

If you want to check it out before I commence on the case study, here you go.
