What Have I Been Doing With My Websites

In the last few days I have been studying the affiliate program I purchased. They offer Video Tutorials and I just worked hard getting through Part 1; it has 15 videos!

I learned or at least viewed (lol) all 15! The material included SEO (Search Engine Optimization), Java Script to file, file size for Search Engine results, how to: name files with search phrase in mind, structure title tags, use Meta Keywords tag, use heading tag for SEO, structure main page content, check and optimize keyword density, optimize graphics for the search engines, structure page links for better optimiazation, optimize links with the title tag, validate html code, automatically validate all links on a site, and finally, avoid common SEO pitfalls.

Is that 15 titles, I hope so. So, you see I have been learning to make money online by learning the correct way to set things up. I know you all believe I learned it all, lol, but I did watch the tutorials and made separate page notes so I can go back and refer to them when it is time for me to do each thing.

I also did myself a favor; I created an Excel spreadsheet with all the sites I have visited, signed into, or got code from with User/Id/name and passwords. That sheet also included sites referred in my reading that I have not yet gone to. As I go along I take notes and then add them to the sheet at the end of the day. It's up to 200 already and I haven't even added today's.

I did stop in the middle of all this to attend my daughter-in-law's baby shower. After having 5 sons and 3 grandsons; she is giving us our first baby girl in January. We are all excited.

All I have thought about since purchasing the affiliate program is to sit down and learn it. I am not going to be an online novice about websites that make money. I do have to say, you must be self-desciplined and ambitious to get through this program.

In the program I am given 5 new affiliate sites to download, set-up and implement, each week. I have been with the program for 3 weeks now and have 15 sites downloaded and ready for me. Note, however, these are the affiliate products of the programs owner; I will get commissions on his products and my Adsense income. That means that I have to pay for hosting and set them up from scratch myself. They will be my own sites. This program is about getting you up and running your own home based business (so what if they make some money off me with their affiliate sites) I will be hosting them when I have the money. Funny, I will have the money by the time I get through all the set-ups and modifying. Oh, where will I find the time! They host the 11 original affiliate sites (which are sub-domains and limited) and the 3 review sites (also sub-domians). You get to pratice on them.

I plan in the future to be able to write and publish knowledgeable articles for others once this program is learned.

I feel a bit funny about posting to a blog that no one has seen as of yet but I think I feel a visitor coming. Come back again!
