I slept a couple of hours later than I wanted to this morning - not a good start to the day. My first task was to start submitting a press release with Incansoft's Press Bot. I love their products, and thought it would be simple. I wrongly assumed it supported Jetspinner Syntax format like a lot of the other 'bots'. So I pasted it into a nifty little program called Article Tool Chest, added some alternative words and sentences and got ready to start submitting.
It then occurred to me that it didn't mention in the user manual that Press Bot supported syntax, but I was still pretty sure it did. I decided it was better to be safe than sorry, so asked on the Warrior Forum. It took 5 hours to get a reply, and even then I still managed to mess up my first submission. I accidentally left out the link to my site - duh! (Facepalm). Luckily though, I had only submitted to 4 sites and in the E-Mail confirmation they sent me, it allowed me to remove them and resubmit.
I am going to submit to 5 or so every day for the next few days. In terms of Press Bot, one of the guys that works at Incansoft told me they are currently upgrading it(and some other bots) to have the syntax compatibility, like in Article Bot and such. This will be good for future submissions for other sites, as I can make each submission a little unique.
What else did I do today? I started making more use of another SEO/link tool I have(monthly subscription) called The Link Juicer. It basically allows you to submit content and links, and it spreads it all around using social bookmarking and blogging accounts. I'm not going to deny that it's a bit on the spammy side, but used properly it can create lots of link juice to sites. I've been subscribed for 3 or 4 months and haven't really got the most out of it yet. All I've had in it is 3 homepages - to get the most out of it you need to submit inner pages, articles, web 2.0 properties.
The reason I haven't done more with it is purely down to laziness - it uses syntax and you have to aim for a certain target percentage in terms of uniqueness for bookmarks and blog posts. It's pretty difficult to hit the targets, but the higher you get, the more weight your links will have.
Today was another day pretty much dedicated to SEO - I did some Social Bot and Directory Bot submissions too. As I said yesterday or the day before though, it's dangerous dedicating so much time to SEO when I have a goal to reach - the Google dance could stop me in my tracks at any time.
I also collected together some articles from my main niche site, that I am going to spin with the Article Productions spinner and submit to some article directories and web 2.0 properties.
Today was somewhat of a frustrating day. If I keep going the way I am, I'm not going to reach my goal. I think I need to want it more. That sounds strange, but I think I get too comfortable at times. During this challenge I have made good progress in a few different areas, but I shouldn't be satisfied with just that.
At different points during the day, I found myself wondering what to do. Should I write some articles? Should I build some backlinks? Should I start a new project? Etc etc. This isn't good. When I get up tomorrow I think I'm going to write up a plan for the day. I also think that either this week or the beginning of next week I need to start a new project that can supplement the income I'm getting from the current things I'm promoting. I need to work fast and hard on it though, if I want to make money before the deadline.
Oh, some good rankings news - one of my sites I have been working hard with(the press releases, web 2.0 properties etc), has jumped from 39 in Google to 15 for the keyword phrase I'm targeting. I want that number 1 spot, and if I could get it in the next couple of weeks, it will really help things along I think.
That's all for today, I need to step things up tomorrow, and for the rest of the week because I'm setting myself up for failure in terms of my target.
