I’ve seen tremendous growth in both traffic and increasing reader numbers to my blog ever since I relaunched early this year. I attribute this to the fact that I don’t make money online by talking about making money online, but instead by building income generating websites across a variety of niches and then discussing the best practices I’ve learned here. I have a few guest posts out on some major blogs right now so most people coming to the blog today are visiting for the first time and if the focus of my blog sounds good to you, subscribe here (I have a ton of VERY exciting ideas and money making strategies to share later this month that you won’t want to miss out on).
Now because the growth to my blog has been very rapid in primarily the past few months I know most people have not had an opportunity to read some of my older content that I believe is worth checking out. So the list below is of my favorite posts and those that on average have received the most views and comments:
Top 7 tips I used to make $41,438.42 in 2009 with Amazon Associates
Top 5 Worst Ways to Make Money with Amazon Associates
The Amazon posts are what most readers are familiar with and what I use to make most of my income. At the risk of looking like a hypocrite, if I ever do release some type of product it will probably be about how to make the most money with Amazon.
My Top 7 Worst Websites Created
There’s no better way to learn than from experience and in this post I share my worst websites ever created and the lessons I learned from each one.
How I made over $2,000 from one blog post
This was just one of my unique success stories and I have plenty of other experiences like this that are fun to share and packed with actionable lessons.
How to research and buy keyword domain names
This is the process I use to find and buy domain names for development. Although it’s difficult to find keyword domain names at the very least I use this process as research before I approach the current owner with an offer.
How to speed up your blog (the non technical guide)
In this non technical guide I show how I dropped my blog’s page load time from 7 seconds down to just 2.5 seconds. This is well worth checking out especially now that page load time is a ranking factor in Google.
How to use forums to drive traffic to your blog
Part of why I’ve had such strong growth in traffic and new readers to my blog is because of my focus on forums as a promotional tool. In this post I share the strategies I use to promote my blog in forums without looking bad or getting banned.
5 Advantages of in Person Networking
I believe networking in person can be huge for your business which is why I went down to CES this year to meet with some of the top consumer electronic companies in person. I’m doing this again later tonight by going to SMX Advanced in Seattle – hit me up in the comments below or email me if you want to meet me. I’ll be at the event for all three days (June 7th, 8th and 9th).
GoDaddy Free Private Registration Loophole
I love being sneaky and saving money and in this blog post I showed how to do both. Last I checked this still works, but that was about six months ago and I wrote this post actually back in 2008!
Do you really want to make money online?
I used to be addicted to World of Warcraft and in this article I discuss how and why I quit this time sucking game.
My Goals for 2010
Lastly I still get people reading my goals for 2010. I believe it’s very important to set specific and measurable goals so that you can set something to work towards. The primary financial goal I have is to earn $150,000 this year and is primarily why I am running income reports every month.
Upcoming Topics:
I have numerous exciting topics to discuss this month and as usual I will present them in a way you don’t normally see other bloggers do so (with facts and figures based on real numbers). For the regular readers, I hope you’ve enjoyed reading my blog so far in 2010 I appreciate the support and comments that you’ve shared so far. For those of you that are new today don’t forget to subscribe to my blog.

Lots of valuable content you are sharing here. I’m just getting started with adsense sites, but I think amazon looks like it’s next. Were your sites affected by the google update?
.-= Mike Roosa´s last blog ..Hitting The Snooze Button =-.
What Google update? I must have not known about it or not been affected as everything seems fine so far 🙂
That’s awesome. Everyone is complaining about it so you must be doing things the right away. Like I said, I’m just getting started and I have 3 sites and they all picked up last week when everyone else was complaining.

Yah, I go for building things as legit as possible because bad behavior only gets rewarded for so long.
Hey Chris,
I am glad I came across your blog on the MaxBlogPress website. I just subscribed to your newsletter and I am going to spend the next hour or so going through the articles you listed in this post. Thanks so much for sharing.

Sounds great! Thanks for stopping by and commenting as well. I have some pretty good content in my newsletter that hasn’t been shared on this blog before either so I think it’s worth it (but then again I’m probably a bit bias 🙂 )
LOL! I’m sure it’s worth it. I have already gotten a lot of value so far:)

What really makes me comeb abck on this blog is the fact that you aren’t making money from us through this blog but you are sharing your experience with your other sites.
Keep up the good work.

Yah, I think that I still may release some sort of paid product but that’s only because I’ve had so many requests for a very in depth analysis.
