Thread: My first mainstream site - now what

So now i have made my very first mainstream site:

Mkv On PS3


its a totally shot in the dark. Have no clue if it has been done right.
I myself had a problem with playing a mkv file on my ps3. so i wrote alittle blog around that. Its getting alittle se traffic. well , 37 hits since it came online 11 days ago.

So now i have a maindstream site. What should be my next step ? build 100s of them and hope people click on some adsense/clickbank ads ?

Your domain is very new, needs time to age of course. Need more content, which i guess you are going to add over time or google might see sites like it as MFA or made for adsence site and close you adsence account.

A handy wp plugin to use is the new for old plugin when you have15 or so posts, and set it for about 9 or 10 days, it will rotate your posts so the top post on your homepage is fresh when you set the plugin either 9 to 10 days or what ever. But you will have to change your post extensions to blog-com/postname.html instead of blog-com/postname/ so when your post rotate google will not puck up your serp listings.

I would be slowly build backlinks while the domains ages, this ADX thread might help, get some of these tools to make the backlinking job easier.

.

Could also think about using a central php redirect file for each sponsor or campaign. This way when a sponsor goes belly up or you want to split test a campaign you only have to change one link and not hundreds. And mask the redirect with your keyword something like blog-com/mkv-php. Or if you want to get real sneaky over time and thinking ahead, do something like a double meta refresh to hide the referrer. Or get the CPA Redirector plugin for wp or the stand alone version, pm me if you want the url to download this free.

Thanks for all the input. Now i have enabled Platinum SEO. now all my titles are just the blog name. like this:

Mkv On PS3
<title>mkv on ps3</title>

can not figure out how to change that

Post Title Format? %post_title% | %blog_title%

Start building keyword based back-links.Try to do 5 to 10 back-links daily, blog comments, forums, free dir submissions. Always use First Big Letters For Titles. Top row of google referrers you should change background color to black, and font color to white, this way it'll look more like navigation, not an ad. I guess that targeted audience of your blog is young, teenage to 20 something, those kind of guys intend to use social media for most of their web surfing. Start twitter and facebook profiles for your website with auto updates, i'm sure you will find proper plugins for that. That step also requires finding followers and likes. Don't fill ad spot between posts with skyscraper, looks bad, looks like ad.

I agree.
It doesn't hurt to have 'em...but they don't help either.

I still use the meta description tag (SEs still use this one) but I'm phasing out using the meta keywords one.

you need to worry about content and presentation first,worry about ads.

pick a better theme and put a single square ad in the top right column. then place a single text/banner ads above or below posts. probably the google text ad is better.

by default, google will create a meta description for you, however if you use one, then you can control it and ensure it's accurate. google usually grabs the first bit of text it finds, and it's not always what the page is about. so for search engine accuracy, just use your meta descriptions. keywords - well, you only need a few of those and they should be what the page you're on is about. do they mean anything anymore? beats me. everyone seems to think no, and the majority is probably right.

pick up the se plugin by yoast. also a cache, minify, and watermark plugin - a few things to speed up your site and also do a little branding on images in case your images get picked up by SE's.

disable the trackbacks, because in all honesty, you don't give a shit where people link to you and you want your site as fast as possible, so asking your site to look for all these little trackbacks is pointless anyway because you're probably using google analytics. you can see your referrers there.

make sure you have the akismet spam plugin enabled, so douches aren't spamming your comments with their links to sell fake rolexes.

make sure your new theme accurately portrays the theme/niche of your site. it doesn't need to be graphic heavy, just something that makes sense and loads fast.
