Holiday Revenue and Purchases
As suspected, the last couple of days were down in terms of revenue. Traffic levels were down across the board on my sites, which is not that alarming, either. Today already looks like an upswing as people go back to work, go shopping, and just generally get on the computer after the holiday.
I purchased a domain yesterday. If I can get back $9.20 on it in the next 12 months, it will have been worth the purchase. I will certainly let you all know how it goes. It’s going to require some basic SEO and traffic, which based on my previous experiences, isn’t nearly as hard as people suggest. It’s currently (overly) advertising intensive, but I’m looking at the contextual nature of the ads and will decide how best to place them and which I think will monetize the best. For now, they all stay.
On a different note, I was approached recently about an MLM opportunity. I’m naturally skeptical and will not be getting involved. It sounds to me just like affiliate marketing, except that there are uplines and downlines which mean I would be helping someone above me get paid and someone below me would help me get paid. I find it a bit confusing, a bit sketchy, and don’t really understand the benefits. Is it that these companies create deals that are better than what the average affiliate would get? If you have any experiences with eStar Network, EXCEL, ACN, Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing, NEXX, Lightyear Alliance, Quixtar, or any other MLM company, I’d be curious to hear why people choose these companies over doing their own affiliate marketing. It seems like a waste of money to me. Perhaps people who have chosen to steer clear of these opportunities would have a better understanding than me?
