Whypark Day 19 – Type of Searches I’m Ranked Top In
Its day 19 of the Whypark trial, and I’ve been checking out Google’s webmaster tools to see what type of searches my site ranks in. Also including from Statcounter what type of keywords are showing up to get to my site.
So after 19 days of being indexed
Rank 9: problems filling your car with gas
Rank 10: succession plans private equity
Rank 30: what to do when your girlfriend is broke and needs money
Interesting searches, and I have to note that I’m not sure how they are related to the keywords I put in. I also want to point out that the money that the Adsense revenue shows different keywords from Statcounter.
Rank Search
| #10 | how much money do car dealers make | ||
| #10 | how much should a dealer come off msrp | ||
| #7 | www.how much will it cost | ||
| #8 | talentdrive scam | ||
| #? | promoting your grocery store | ||
| #9 | do i replace the whole toilet | ||
| #? | key to a successful entrepreneurial venture |
Please note that these results are from using articles that are pretty broad. If one were to setup a niche site with targeted keywords, you would definitely do better with the Click Through Rate(CTR) on the ads. I’m not complaining though so far with what little traffic I’ve gotten Its been averaging around 3-4% CTR.
I’m not sure how your parked domain is doing, but if these stats sound better that what your making from sedo/namedrive etc try out Whypark for yourself and see the difference.

Whypark Day 15 – My First Dollar Earned From Adsense
Well today I’m just following up on my post about setting up Whypark on my site. Today is day 15 on the Whypark test, and I can say that I earned my first dollar from it. Google so far has indexed about 100+ pages so far, and still going. I’m not ranked on the first page of any keywords yet, but I picked some pretty broad terms like ‘money’.
The visitor experience? I have Stat counter installed so I was able to see the what keywords this person came in from. Apparently this visitor found a page that was newly indexed so it ranked fairly high in Google for ‘Entrepreneur‘. After that the visitor moved on to read about 6 more articles on the website before clicking on an ad to exit the site. Overall time spent on site was about 4 minutes. So far so good, and I hope to be bringing more good news as time goes on.

CashCrate Payout Reached $10.45
Just an update on CashCrate. I joined CashCrate on 9/17/07, and well 3 days later after filling out free offers, and joining different programs I hit the minimum $10 for the payout. $10.45 cents to be exact. They requested my telephone number for verification. Lets see if I get a check next month mailed in to me. I’m still waiting for for more offers to clear pending since I have another $29.55 there. I guess what I really should put up on the side there is how much I actually got confirmed from these companies instead of the pending amounts. I’ll fix that today.

Flooding the Warcraft Gold Market Some More
Yup, right now if you go to Sparter to buy gold the average price for 1000g on my server is about $50. Sucks for me since I usually get to sell it for more. So now my question is should I sell my gold not or just sit back and stock up until the prices go back up. I’m averaging about 300g/day just logging in for about 20-30 minutes for the days that I DO log in to check my auction house sales. For right now I think I’m just going to wait till the next wave of gold farmers get banned for me to sell my stuff. Yes I know its ironic for me to wait for people to get banned when I’m selling gold which can get me banned from the game eventually. =)
Anyways a week or so ago I said I was going to create a landing page for World of Warcraft gold guide. So far I’ve been getting some hits to it, but no actual sales. I think I’m going to rethink or rework the page or maybe tryout one of the other Clickbank guides to sell if this one doesn’t do well. If I’m really going to make it from gamer to making a living online I need to get the affiliate marketing thing down. So if anyone has got some tips to share with me please feel free to drop me a note. 
Back to World of Warcraft though. I guess I can give a freebie on how I make this amount of gold. Currently I’m alt tabbed out of the game waiting for my mail to finish up opening up. In the 12 minutes I’ve been online I have collected 1125g from yesterday’s sales. Nice huh?
You can ignore that earned/hr part since I was only logged in for 12 minutes or so.
Everyday I earn gold via the auction house. My character is a 375 Jewelcrafter with most of the recipes. What I basically buyout the whole auction house of Adamantite Ore to prospect, and then resell the gems (blue and green). Two useful mods that you will probably need is Auctioneer, and CT Mailmod.
Check the prices of all the blue quality gems on the auction house. That way you can figure out what price you need to buy the ore at. (average on my server is 12g for Talasite up to 55g for Star of Elune). On my server this comes out to about 20g/stack of Adamantite ore.
Prospect all the ore that I get, and vendor the dust (I don’t have time to make it into mercurial stuff)
Cut and sell all the gems and list them on the Auction House at cheaper than what everyone else sells it for. Auctioneer will let you put up multiple items with ease and speed. Also it will also calculate the price so you can beat everyone Else’s price on there. Very handy, and otherwise it would be too time consuming to do this method without the mod. Best selling gem is Solid Star or Elune followed by Glowing Nightseye, and Runed Living Ruby.
That’s it, that’s all I do. Thought it was going to be hard? I have a few other tricks up my sleeve to make gold, but this is by far the most efficient for me. Drawback to this is its huge start up cost (around 7k to get 375 JC with all the recipes). As time goes on I’ll post some other ways to make gold easily on the game. Anyways that’s all for now I’ve got gems to cut.

Cashcrate Review – Not Much Yet But it Helps
So I have been procrastinating about writing some articles up, and making a landing page to advertise some Clickbank products. I don’t know something about writing an official article compared to just blogging just makes it seem harder. Anyways in the midst of trying to figure out what to write the article about I revisited CashCrate. After the horrible experience of signing up for MediaDollarz, I was very reluctant to join another get paid to complete offers site.
This time I made myself ready for the incoming spam though. I created a new account at Hotmail, and used it to sign up with CashCrate. After filling in some details about myself, I found my way to the offers section. This was nicely separated into a cash or point offer section which is sortable by payout amounts as well as 100% free only. Thats the section I chose my offers from, and well after about an hour of filling out applications my balance was a nice pending amount of $11.50. Two of which I are now confirmed as I write this post (so $1.00 confirmed 10.50 pending). I guess this gives me something to do if I’m not working on anything. It also gives me something to add on to the income earned section on my blog finally.
A note for anyone new to these paid to complete offer sites. When completing an offer in CashCrate DON’T click on yes for information regarding other surveys etc. What you will eventually realize is that many of the offers themselves will try to sign you up for offers which are already offered within CashCrate.
Last of all if you try it out, and like the service refer your friends to it for extra money! For every person you refer to CashCrate that reaches the $10 payout mark you get $3. While this program won’t make you rich, it passes the time when you’re bored at home rather profitably.
