Hi everyone! First I wanna say thanks for all the wonderful tips and training I've found here over the last couple of weeks. I’d still be lost in lala land without you all. I’ll try to make this brief.
I started my IM adventure a couple of months ago with the thirty day challenge. I purchased my own domain and hosting, set up a wordpress direct blog(which I’ll call blog1), and started adding some content. I did a little social bookmarking and was pleased to find that my blog ranked at #8 on Google after just 2 days. I built a squidoo lens, set up a weebly site, hubpages site,etc. all pointing back to blog1. I made a few sales, and for the last 3 weeks I’ve been hovering around the #3 spot. But the problem is that I’m not getting much traffic. So in an attempt to increase the size of my traffic web, I started a blog (blog2) on the other wordpress site.(Wordpress Direct blog1- Wordpress blog2). I linked blog2 back to blog1 and that night blog1 dropped all the way down to #35. I left it alone for a couple of days to see if it was just a quirk, and sadly there was no change. So this afternoon I deleted blog2 and now blog1 is back up to #4. Do yo have any thoughts on what happened? I actually liked wordpress more than wordpress direct.
