Last month i said i had plans for theleavingcert.com and that it was bursting with potential. Last month, i quickly threw together a new design using a template and some modifications.
But that’s not good enough and i know it. I must sit down, go through it and optimise every single aspect of it. I’ve no doubt we can nail this niche and all it takes is hard work. So i’ll be doing my best this week to dedicate some time to the site and really try to fine tune it.
It’s hammering just about every related site in google for major search times like ‘leaving cert’, ‘leaving cert tips’ etc… and raking in traffic for fun. In fact over 90% of traffic comes from google. 90% of 3000 unqiue visits in the last 30 days = 2700 visits / month = 90 per day.
If this was a business and i could get 90 targeted customers per day to the site just through google alone, i’d be making them money and paying for my own salary too depending on the business. So it’s important that i don’t just waste this traffic and let the site die.
Twitter, Facebook & constant content is, in a nutshell, the recipe for success but of course it’s one thing knowing how to do something… it’s another actually DOING it. Doing it is made harder when you’re not getting paid, not getting thanked and you’re pushed for time… but i won’t accept excuses from myself this week.
