Beginner’s Blog

Looks like I really abandoned my diary. And I just realized that it’s no good. It seems that I tend forget a lot and udjust my expectations upwards as time goes by. I started a new blog www.unwiredview.com. It’s about everything wireless. Felt really frustrated with the slow start. Not as many promotion opportunities, so not as many vistors. Still I can get about 150 clicks if I try to promote thisblog. If not, I now get between 20 ans 50 cliks a day.  Today was first click from google. That reminded me to check the diary  and that  helped a lot.  Seems that  Unwired View progresses in similar manner to Core Duo, adjusted to less promotion efforts. Just have to keep working on content and fix the design.

Been using ProBlogger Clean WP theme, but really didn’t like the ad layout. And then it stopped working, so Iswitched now to default WP theme for a whileuntil I find replacement.

Core Duo News blog is doing very nicely so far. At the end of the month made a post about Apple mac mini just after it’s announcement. Managed to get out within half hour from announcement (just watched real time coverage from some blogs and made an article with mac mini specs and prices). Submitted to Digg and Reddit and the post made first page on Reddit. That made me about 3500 pageviews in a couple of days. Pretty nice way to end the month.

Core Duo News  total tally for the first moth of operation: 19 423 pageloads, 11 075 unique visitors  and  $88.75 in adSense earnings. Quite an improvement from January. CDN now has PR2 and averages about 1000 pageviews on a working day and about 700 on weekends, without any promotions. Traffic is mainly from google, although I get somelinks to some of the articles. Mostly linked are the ones from confidential Dell file. Also dug up some unnounced Lenovo ThinkPad tablet and it got some links from other blogs. Computer reviews or other similar articles do not get linked at all. I guess I should look harder for these original tidbit.

Just checked Google sitemaps and it seems that CDN has about 20 diffrent queries mostly related tocore duo notebooks on the first page of search. For queries “inspirion 6400″ and “dell inspirion 6400″ CDN is even No.1 on google.  Guess that also comes from these incoming links.Google shows 79 incoming links total and 12 unique links on result pages for CDN.

Some of them are from articles I submitted e.g from TailRank and Gabbr, but others are real links from some external sites.
