Blind Ape Seo

Unbelievable, but this makes the new iPhone even more attractive.

No, the old simian does not have one (yet).

Some people have already noticed that the old simian is not the healthiest person around. The typical computer freak lifestyle he got into for the last two years did not help much, either.

Yesterday his doc noticed, and fired a few warning shots.

This means that 2008 will also be a year concerned with getting and staying healthy.

Of course, that begins with healthy food and ends with sports.

Let us see this as a chance and a good sign that someone noticed. (thanks, doc)

So expect some health related posts and maybe a post about goals 2008.

I have a confession to make. I have far too many domains lying around, unused.
The fact that I am not alone in this does little to alleviate the pain. Monetary pain, that is.

Simply put:
10 dollars for a website lying around unused for a year will amount to 10 dollars in the red.

Even putting up a badly written 5 page site with some adsense on it might have taken a bit off the sting, but noooo, I had to have that domain and never got around to put anything onto it.

The promise
A new domain holds many promises. There is the grand idea you have for it, the shining star it will become in its niche and all the money it will bring you.
Another part of this is the promise that this one will fare better than the old ones, the other domains that are dragging you down with their cries for attention, content and sweet link love.

The pitfalls
A new domain has to be developed.
Yes, it will have to be filled with content, coded and promoted like any other project before and after this one.
And there is still all those other projects lying around, clawing for your attention.

The 5 page solution

Do not buy any new domains unless you have 5 pages of content done!

I recommend at least 5 fully coded pages. That is code, site graphics and content, the whole package.
5 pages is not much, I consider this the lowest possible starting point.

Index, contact data, sitemap, 2 pages of content (FAQ and about maybe) and you are done. THEN buy the domain.

 Variations and exceptions:

• News dependent domains - Obviously, these need to be bought immediately, so do not hesitate. Do not hesitate IF you have a good track record with this type of page.
• Landing pages - Although most could do with a bit more content, you’ll manage with 3 fully coded pages. A fully developed PPC keyword list takes place of the 2 content pages.

This is really just a variation of the “focus on one project until it is done” theme that is being tossed around in forums and blogs.

It will save you a lot of time, work and money and will guide you to more success in your online ventures.

I just read the article on doshdosh about volume blogging.

Although I tend to agree with some of the comments, stating that quality is key and volume blogging might also fit some blogs more than others, it has been my experience that volume will indeed drive traffic.

That said, the old simian should get to writing some more articles.

I will slowly take the articles that I have published to the wickedfire gay forum onto this blog.

Don’t worry, they will also stay up on wickedfire.

I chose the first one, “A clear inventory“, because again I just stumbled across the issue that prompted me to write it.

Being a webmaster often consists of a myriad of little tasks that have to be done for every domain. It is easy to loose sight of issues surrounding the development.

Ending a post titled “Do it fucking now” with a quote from a Shakespearian play must be a sign of class.
