Neddy Pot and Google

What happened to my search engine rank for www.neddypot.com. For the past two months www.neddypot.com was rank #2 in Google with a key word search of "neddy pot". Now www.neddypot.com is ranked #15. This site has fallen out of the top 10. To see this site you now have to go to page 2 on Google after entering the "neddy pot" search term.

Neddypot.com was a parked page on www.sedo.com until this month (September). I have read that a static page (content does not change) will over time improve its ranking in the Google search engine. So, obviously changing from a parked page to an actual site has caused the site to loose it's ranking.

I have updated the html meta description tag.

This is what is now in that tag "

"Best neddy pot, neti pot information. Neddy pot or (jala neti pot) and nasal irrigation systems and solutions. Nasal rinse systems and solutions."

This description is closer to the parked pages description.

Hopefully this will allow this page to get its search engine ranking back.

Neddy Pot

I put a face lift on www.NeddyPot.com today. I downloaded a website template from OSWD. Really makes the site pop. For those of you that do not have a lot of experience building websites, these templates from OSWD are the way to go. You can get a professional looking site set up in no time.

On the left hand side I added an E-bay affiliate link, the link uses neti pot keywords, so related neddy pot items are displayed.

I used the content that was in the original site and broke this up into three sections. At the end of each section I placed Google AdSense ads, formatted each to have the same color patterns as the rest of the site.

Check it out and let me know what you think.

www.NeddyPot.com

NeddyPot.com is one of my mini sites. It is currently my top Google AdSense producing site.

Websites and Domains

I worked a little on the Corporate Exit blog today. On the right side of the page I add link for each of the of the Domains / Websites that I own.

I really like the interface that blogger.com has created. Since I am a newbie to blogging, it makes getting started really easy.

Blog or Website

I am not really happy with the format of www.cleptestbooks.com. I'm considering converting that website into a blog style site. Think I will start working on this in the next couple of days.

I really think by converting this into a blog style site that I can improve Google AdSense click through rate for that site.

Also, have a couple of other ideas to create blog style web sites for some of the other domains that I own.

I will also be exploring ways to affiliate with Amazon, E-bay and Commission Junction.

The first post is the deepest

I have worked in the corporate world ever since graduating from high school over 20 years ago (1986). For the past nine years I have worked in the banking industry. The pay and the benefits are great, but it just seems that the more I work the more I want to get out.

I have made several meager attempts, over the years, to exit the corporate world. Listed below are some of different things that I have tried.

  • Network Marketing
  • Online Network Marketing
  • Yahoo Stores
  • Drop Shipping
  • Travel Websites
  • Domain parking
  • Website building
  • Google Adsense

I have been tinkering around with domain parking, website building and incorporating Google Adsense into these web sites.

I starter with domain parking in May 2007. I have had very little success in this area . I bought 14 domain names and parked them on www.sedo.com.

  1. www.cleptestbooks.com
  2. www.brazilflipflops.com
  3. www.eyecreasesurgery.com
  4. www.vegasstylevideopoker.com
  5. www.weddingsilver.com
  6. www.neddypot.com
  7. www.expiredparking.com
  8. www.fioricetdirect.com
  9. www.flipphonecamera.com
  10. www.georgia-beaches.com
  11. www.nofeesbank.com
  12. www.redsnappercharters.com
  13. www.sugarfreecereal.com
  14. www.chapterthirteenlawyer.com

Monthly income from these parked sites breaks down as follows:

  • May 2007 - $0.08
  • June 2007 - $2.27
  • July 2007 - $2.01
  • August 2007 - $2.82

Beginning in September 2007, I started turning some of thse domains into websites. I signed up with www.1and1.com for domain hosting and started developing some of these sites. So far

www.cleptestbooks.com

www.charterthirteenlawyer.com

www.fioricetdirect.com

www.neddypot.com

have been developed. I am not real happy with the layout of any of these. But at least its a start.
