One or two days after I started BTD I uploaded the google sitemap plugin, which automatically updates your sitemap. After that, I set it up on the Google webmaster resources…and voila, I already have 9 pages indexed! I found this to be particularly impressive considering the site has only been live for 10 days.

I’ve purchased 10 unique articles for $55, which should be delivered to me on Friday. I’m going to space them out at a rate of 1 unique to 3 ezinearticles and go from there. With that purchase, this brings my total up to $65 so far (domain and articles). I want to keep my budget around $150, so this leaves me $85 to spend on some links. If I can get some without spending any cash that would be even better. I have a PR3 site in the making money niche, so I could possibly use that in a 3-way reciprocal link deal.

I’ll keep you posted.

I have just accepted a BIN of $650 for the site! I figured I spent around $250 on the site, so $400 is not too bad. I’m looking to cut my costs down a bit for my dog blog, but hopefully sell it for an equal or greater profit. I definitely learned alot about creating and selling websites with my cellular blog, so hopefully I can use what i’ve learned and make even more money the next go around. Check back for updates on my new blog: www.BlogtheDogs.com

I’ve just started a new wordpress blog about dogs. It’s a popular niche topic, so hopefully I can drive a lot of traffic to it and get my PR up in a hurry. I plan on buying about 10 unique articles right now, and also using some dog articles on ezinearticles. I’m going to try to post a new article every day to keep the search engines crawling my site and hopefully indexing it. I’m also going to try to get my link on some high PR dog websites, which I’ll pay for if I have to.

This website is purely a project that I will be selling in the future, once I get my PR up and some income to it. If your curious or would potentially like to buy this site in the near future (in about 3 months) check it out by visiting www.BlogTheDogs.com

Just an update to say that the auction at Sitepoint is going better than expected. With 20 days remaining, bids have already gone up to $400! If this pace continues, I should have no problem receiving my BIN offer of $1000. I’ll keep you updated on the progress of the auction.
