I use Google Analytics and so today I am looking at some of my worst performing pages, you know some of your pages will get 100 or more visits a day but other pages get 0 or maybe 1 pageview a week.

I set up my Google Analytics view so that I could see the number of pageviews over the last week and then scrolled way down to the bottom and for all the posts that had one view (some of them anyway) I went into my Wordpress editor and looked at the post.

These are the questions that I asked.

What is the page about?

What are the keywords that this post should have?

Is there any post structure?

Is the topic interesting?

What can I add in content to fill out the idea that the post is about?

Can I add subheadings to the post itself

Page Analysis and Fixing

I would quickly analyze and then fix the page and save. Each page probably took about 5 minutes or so because the structure in the first place was already there. In some cases I did do a lot of rewriting of the content.

In one case I actually liked the new content enough that I changed the date of the post and made it my new post for the day…nice having content that goes back a couple or three years, most of my visitors had not seen this content ever.

Busy couple of weeks so far fixing my blogs and optimizing. I have also been posting up a storm over the last couple of days but still have not been adding many affiliate links like I should be.

This week, More Review Pages!

I have been mulling over the last week how exactly I will increase my earnings from $2,000 in January and have a few good ideas that I expect will work but will of course take a lot of change on my part.

There are two keys to my making more money online in February and it is the same for any online business; get more pageviews and increase conversion rates. This is no secret but often people, especially people like me, get distracted by shiny things on the internet and go off focus and do a lot of non revenue producing work.

Increasing Pageviews

Increasing pageviews should not be too difficult. I had a pretty good month in January with 72,000 pageviews or so and the way I generally increase my pageviews is by creating content within all of my niches and by submitting articles to article sites, especially ezinearticles.

There has been a bit of talk over the last few days about how quickly blogs are ranking high for keywords and very quickly at that. Rosalind Gardiner of the Affiliate Blog talks about how she ranked in Google in 9 seconds and I believe her. Why would I believe it? Because I have done it myself. Here is how I ranked number 1 in Google in just a few minutes with one blog post.

I wrote a post about a fitness ebook called Turbulence training and one night while I was writing a follow up post I noticed that I typed Turbulense Trainig a few times (notice the S instead of a C in the name) I checked Google saw that there was no competition for the term so I tried it out as a post name and a couple of times in the post.

Well 15 minutes after I posted I did a search of Turbulense Training on Google and there I was at number 1 on Google for the term. I was pretty excited about this term coming up as number one as the misspelling I would have thought would be common. Well it isn’t.

Over the last two months or so I have been able to get only about 20 pageviews from the term Turbulense Training. This tells us two things. Firstly it is great and quite easy to rank for misspellings, but, secondly it is probably not as profitable as we might think. There is one thing to blog for long tail keywords but finding misspellings in them so that you can rank number 1 in Google is a bit of a lost cause
