Well, it was more like a SEO project for me and so far I just spent on it rather than earning.

I started CasinoNewbies at middle of March in the most competitive and most difficult field in terms of SEO; Online Casino Gambling.

Hired some article writers and started building backlinks purchased some sitewide links on pageranked sites and started submitting articles.

The result was good, got PR-4 after 40 days with some pageranked subpages but so far I am not getting the result I deserve it from search engines and I guess it’s the matter of domain age preventing me from getting ranked well.

Currently the site gets most of the traffic (90%) from search engines and as average each visitor visits 3 pages of the site, has perfect ClickThrough on banners and it is holding Alexa rank of 300k and I think it will get huge traffic as soon as it gets out of Sandbox but honestly I’m losing patience as usual.

I’m not sure if it will get better if I renew the domain for 5-10 years ? Some people believe search engines would put more weight on it, but I’m not sure.

Anyway wanted to cover its costs by selling sitewide links but its highly under-priced in the market so I preferred to wait a little more with hopes to get real result from it.

I’m not sure if it can be part of the first phase of my plans or not but I have high hopes for it.

Again ideas and suggestions are most welcome.

Hi,

Tomorrow I’m starting a crazy busy week so I think I won’t be able to do much  about this blog during the week, that’s why I try to use this weekend and post as much as I can.

I registered LiveProxies.com sometime back in Feb 2007 as an Internet Proxy List and a month later on March 20th  I installed WordPress and started doing some modifications on script but didn’t have the plan to launch it soon.  Again I got busy working on other projects and I almost forgot to work on it and one day, while checking Google Adsense reports I saw some page impressions reporting from LiveProxies.com channel.

Immediately installed Google Analytics code on it to monitor where the traffic come from and it was beyond my expectation, all Organic from MSN and Technorati.

Then I started advertising on forums requesting proxy owners to post their web proxy sites for free without link back to site and the site became more and more popular getting better ranking as the content grows .

Revenue isn’t much and it is around $30 a month, but for a new site with less than 5 minutes a day maintenance and without any advertising, it seems fine.

Currently it has 57 proxy listings, ranks well in most of search engines for some related keywords and once in a while I run a limited $2 Adwords campaign for it since I know if the visitor likes it, the next time she/he won’t search and comes directly to the site and what I see is increase on the number of direct requests to the site that is the best result.

I think it’s a win-win-win situation, I’m happy as my site is getting more popular, the visitor is satisfied since he found the proper web proxy that works (When that one got blocked, he will come back to site to find another one), the proxy owners are happy since they are getting traffic for free.

For the people who may be interested to know, LiveProxies.com is powered by WordPress some plugins, with some customizations on theme and script made by myself.

Ideas and Suggestions are always welcome.

Cheers,

Well it’s been a while since scriptbloggers was taken offline due to the fact that i had so much on i thought it would be best to close it down for a while and start back up with a new design and some fresh content. I’ll be adding some old content to the site that i think will benefit some readers.

Welcome back to any readers that previously took an active roll in the scriptbloggers blog and i hope you enjoy the new site as i will be updating the website everyday with some great content.
