Internet Business Blog

A couple of days ago, I started developing a new website that’s covering a topic where there’s plenty of money being spent and lots of interest. It’s a popular industry, but this particular segment of the market isn’t too saturated with existing competition. I’m thinking it’ll be relatively easy to obtain good search engine rankings for as this type of site is always popular and very linkable.

Back in February of this year, I launched a keyword tool that I’d developed to help save me time setting up Google AdWords campaigns. Rather than some of the grand launches you can see from a mile off, Keyword Permutator (KP) trickled onto the Internet with little promotional effort on my part.

Another reason why this blog might suck at the moment is the infrequent posting. I would like to spend more time on developing interesting content to share, but I’m currently preoccupied by a few things so I’ll just give anyone who’s interested a quick run down:

• The biggest thing that’s taking up much of my time and effort is that I’ve a major life event coming up very soon. It’s not something that I’ve discussed here at all, but I will spill more beans about it after the event. For now, I’m either preparing for it or tying up loose ends before it happens. More to follow…
• My web design business is attracting a lot more enquiries nowadays and even those that don’t turn into a paying project eat up time. I prefer to handle the client side of things so it’s not a task that can be outsourced and there’s nobody I can trust to delegate it to. Keeping control in this area also lets me choose which projects I want to take on so it’s not all bad.
• With things being a bit hectic right now, when I do get some free time I’m more likely to consume content rather than generate it. It’s easier on my brain which I need for other tasks!

Fortunately, whilst a lot of my attention is focused on the above, the automated income streams I’ve got in place are still doing their thing even whilst I’m not. That, there dear reader, is the beauty of online passive income streams. You do the work once and you reap the rewards on a continual basis. You can take a break whilst your systems keep on working for you!

Stu’s posted 11 reasons why my blog might suck. I don’t think most apply (I’ll await his review of my blog before responding to the rest), but here’s my response to those that might.

The Google PageRank shuffle has been under way for a few days now and you can almost feel the tremors rippling through the blogosphere.

This blog has experienced a PageRank drop from 5 to 4, along with another of my ex-PR5 websites which used to feature a PR6 inner page.

It seems I’m not alone as Stu’s PR has also dropped from 4 to 3 (a lack of pimping, Stu?) and Burt’s dropped from 5 to 4.

Besides scuffing my pride, does this drop have any other impact on my life? Not really although in the eyes of some, the ‘value‘ of this website may have decreased.

Fortunately, my online income generating capability doesn’t revolve around PageRank. Does yours?
