ISULONG SEOPH

Last year was the year spent learning new things. Lots of them. This year, it’s time to put in good use all those new stuff crammed inside my head for a year.

We were able to reach the threshold of a SEO project started late last year. For now, we’re facing a blank wall as to what other things to add that’ll give more value to tools our users pay for. We’re starting to go into maintenance mode. I’m beginning to get bored. Only a little though. Not very much.

We’re launching a new site. An offshoot of the previously mentioned project. One of the tools got so much potential to stand on its own. Good. Again, not really. As I’ve said, it was an offshoot. Meaning, much of it is already done. We’re just moving it own domain for it to get it’s own paying users.

After a year of learning SEO from somebody who’ve actually done it and was labelled negatively for it might make you think I know a lot already. Wrong. After a year of learning SEO, I discovered I never learned anything. Every personal site experiment I did SEO for that got positive results were due to unexplained circumstances. I was just being lucky.

Site PR boosts, SERPs climb, traffic increased… All were circumstantial. I did nothing special. It’s the main reason why I’ll avoid joining SEO contests again.

This year, I’ll try to learn affiliate marketing. I think I like selling.
