Have a QUESTION?

Interested in starting my own online business

QUESTION:

Hello Weselley,

I absolutely love your website. Upon reading your SBI success story and ebook, I got interested in starting my own online business.

Your honesty and thoroughness is much appreciated.

However, I'd love more info on how exactly you pull this thing off. If you don’t mind disclosing this type of information.

For example, for how many pages do you rank within google’s top 10 to be able to generate the stated amount of adsense revenue and traffic? How fast did your traffic grow? And you mentioned link-building. What kind of techniques worked for you, say within your first 6 months?

Thanks in advance,

Sincerely,
Taisha Mary-ann

Hi Taisha,

I truly appreciate your feedback. Thanks much!

I am very glad my story was an inspiration to you. SBI has been very good to me :-)

I don't mind disclosing that information at all.

Regarding the number of pages I ranked within the top 10 of Google's results - to generate that income (back in March 09); well I am honestly not sure at this point,but I figure it is probably about 12.

But you know what Taisha, those pages were not even the pages that was driving my Adsense income. What they did was to get people to my site, then, those people will navigate and click on ads at other high income pages - it seems.

Bear in mind that the other (non top 10) pages does (in total) bring in a lot of traffic as well though.

I am earning much more than the amount you saw for March, and a few more of the older pages (and some newer pages) are now in the top 10!

Traffic Growth?

Well it grew consistently. It started slowly but then it starts to snowbll!

I think the important thing is to continue to write keyword focused content pages and drop a few links along the way (We (SBi) have a link building community (program) that makes it a breeze).

---SIDE NOTE---
(For the last 3 month, the site is averaging over 9000 page views per DAY!)

But most importantly, I followed the SBi Action Guide to the 'tee'. You can't go wrong with it. Everything you need is in there!

Take another look at the their free video tour.
I promise you, It will open your eyes to great possibilities.

Any by the way, I am not the odd SBI success story, there are many more. In fact, there are many who are doing incredibly better than me. Here is a sample.

I hope that helps. Please stay in touch Taisha.

Regards,
Wellesley
