blogphp is a great software though and I will be using it for a few of my other upcoming blogs, and also will be using it for the network of sites from the “SEO Experiment”.

No updates until the move

The owner, Chris is a very cool guy and will be leaving from July 22 (today) until July 30, next Sunday.

Hopefully my blogging there can garner a bit of interest into saadh.com

Went through a bit of a slump from

July 20 to July 23, averaging 5.43$ / day.
July 1 to July 25, average = 4.84$ / day.
July 14 (day new ads were implemented) to July 25, average = 7.33$ / day.

So, with this progress, it is very possible to top August’s prediction of either 250 or 300$. Vgescape should be able to accumulate the 250$ or 300$ on its own, with other sites hopefully being able to contribute another 50$. But most of the other sites are being made to begin earning money in September and October as sites take time to mature.

All of these young entrepreneurs seem to not be in it for the long haul, even if they think they might be. All of them have very creative minds and think of neat ideas all the time. As much as we don’t want to admit it, most of these ideas never succeed. So, what should all of these aspiring youths do?

I think all aspiring young entrepreneurs should focus in and learn the ins and outs of internet marketing. All it takes is one to three hours a day of reading through various blogs, magazines, and forums. After a bit of time your knowledge will be varied and diverse. A good example would be someone who is in college and if he stuided internet marketing and other things related to that, what could he become an ‘expert’ in?

• Programming. After learning html, you can master html with css. After a while, many people will notice the power of PHP and javascript. Relying on other people only works so much. Although it is very possible to never learn to code, coding PHP on your own will help. Learning the basics of PHP and HTML can be as simple as buying two or three books from your local Barnes & Nobles.
• Search engine optimization. SEO will teach you how to rank well for search engines, primarily google. All this takes is reading the leading forums and blogs. Some of them are: digital point, high rankings, v7n forums, seomoz blog, seobook blog, and matt cutts blog.
• E-commerce. After a bit of time, you can take a small risk and try out the eBay game. If it works out for you, then thats awesome. It would probably be best for all aspiring entrepreneurs to at least get your feet wet in this field.
• CPC and affiliate programs. By making content sites and focusing on them, along with SEO, you will learn the ins and outs of getting money through programs like Adsense and affiliate programs. This can be a very good stable income.

All of these different topics will make you a diverse businessman for the internet generation and more confident as well. All of the bullets above lead to other skills as well. Things like SEO teach you the basics of analysis because you need to follow trends of search engines. If you were to sit down and think of how all of the skills above connect to other skills, you could go on for a while.

The best way to perform this is 301 redirect with a .htaccess file in your root folder. This is an Apache module, but almost every host supports it. To check to see if you are supported, you can ask your host, or just try out the mod_rewrite.

To forward domain.com to www.domain.com, use the following code:

To forward www.domain.com to domain.com, use the following code:

Where do you place the code? Go to notepad, or any text file editor. Paste the code inside and save as “.htacess”, make sure not to have any extension like .txt. Then with ftp or a similiar method, upload the document onto your root folder if you want to redirect your entire site, or any subfolder if you’d only like to redirect a portion of your site.

What are other ways to make income from content sites? Ways that could be implemented, affilaite programs are useless to me as I arleady have enough ads.

My ideas:
- Add a link unit from adsense
- Add those text link ads, like intellitext.

I will try to post updates multiple times a day now. A few reasons why this would be beneficial:
1. Once you being getting lazy with a site and not updating, then that attitude begins to stick.
2. Whether or not the blog is read, blogging still helps self-pride.
3. Blogging keeps you focused. If I write about accomplishing something, then I’ll have more motiviation to accomplish even more.
4. Most of all, I am very intriguied by the Mind Petal Network of young entrepreneurs, a new, but selective network of promising entrepreneurs who blog about their journey. I think I definetly bring something different to the table than most young entrepreneurs.

Routine Plans:
- Post up daily adsense revenue on the right navigational side. This will only include recorded ad revenue from companies through CPC, CPM, or affiliate programs. That means, no one-time sales, text links sales, or other types of revenue.
- Try to provide an SEO tip or method either, every day, or every other day.

I’ve been having a lovely hosting experience over at powervps.com. I’ve been on a reseller account with a few extra IP’s and extra disk space for the past few months. My dad has asked me to host him because he thought I was already on a VPS server. Therefore, I thought it might be a good idea to switch over anyway.

The cost will be an additional 22.50$ per month, but I can now order a few more IP’s, and I’m getting 100$ / year from my dad, which equates to just over 8$ / month by hosting his domains and sites, which don’t take up more than 50 mb.

With quite a few different IP’s and my SEO experiment of creating a network of 100 mini video game sites, in addition to the other 10 sites I have, this should be a nice investment, even if its /month out of my pocket.

So, starting in August 2006, current monthly payments relating to the sites:

- 20$ /month for an automated directory submission service.
- 56.50$ /month for VPS hosting.
+ 8.33$ /month for hosting dad.

- 68.17$ /month
